Gilt Trip: Gold Trimmed iPhone
Topping at least one luxe list of trendy items for Christmas are these customized iPhones from Continental Mobile.
The iPhone rimmed in 24k gold costs about $1,800 (£1,199), if that doesn’t wind you up there are ruby and diamond versions, about $4,600 (£3,099) and other serious stones like sapphires and emeralds. iPod Touch versions are also available.
If you decide to put this much sparkle under your tree, make it fast. Each item is “hand crafted in England” and takes seven to 10 days for delivery.
