Should the royals be in need of an impressive umbrella, we’ve found some positively regal numbers fit for a king.

Each pair of these nifty cufflinks are crafted in 50% real silver and feature a coin from the year of his birth. Because of this they will serve equally as an eye-catching accessory and a novel keepsake.

The English five-pence coin cufflinks would make the perfect 18th, 21st or 30th birthday gift. For the gentleman who is a little more, eh, distinguished the genuine sixpence coin cufflinks make a great gift option. The sixpence, or half-shilling was in circulation until 1971 and thus would serve as a memorable memento for himself as he passes over the hill.

With Christmas Party season soon to start, The Gift Genies shared their tips on how to be the perfect guest on the wonderful Heal’s Reveals blog. Pop over to check out our pick of the best hostess gifts, office party gifts and Christmas gifts for kids and make sure you’re invited back next year!.

Familiar favourites like Lego, Star Wars memorabilia and Elmo feature in the list, as well as some new faces, including loveable robot, Fijit Friend, a toy reminiscent of 90’s sensation, Furbies. There is something for every child as the list includes toys that encourage learning, excite imagination and most important of all, ensure a noisy Christmas morning.

For the small sum of $395,000 the exclusive Neiman Marcus 2012 Ferrari FF edition is all yours. You would be too fast but not at all too furious as you speed down an empty highway at 200mph. In just over 3 seconds the Ferrari FF gives you the ability to go from 0-60 mph,an adrenaline rush that even the boys at Formula 1 would long for. Did we mention you also get a custom luggage set with the car? Handy for making speedy getaways from the bank you just robbed to pay off the loan you took out for this car.

Take a good look because this will probably be as close as you’re going to get to the Neiman Marcus Hacker Craft Speedboat. Unless you happen to carry around $250,000 dollars then we retract that statement. This is a 27 foot long, mahogany, hand made American speedboat. You could try and build your own but bare in mind that it took 1,400 hours of craftsmanship and 15 coats of hand-brushed varnish. With GPS, a top of the line refrigerator and a premium stereo and sound system you could probably spend the rest of your days living on this boat.

Anyone for a game of table tennis? It’s sure to be the most expensive game of table tennis you’ll play in your life. You and your other billionaire friends can have hours of fun playing for the sum of $45,000 on this Tom Burr Table-Tennis Table. If you didn’t notice, this also doubles as a contemporary work of art. Whether you want to reclaim your college tennis table champion title while flashing your wealth or you simply like art made of black rubber, Neiman Marcus has got your back.

The bibliophile in all of us just met it’s material  soul mate. For $125,000 you can have an Assouline Custom-Built Library in your home. Your shelves will be lined with a one of a kind Assouline book collection that consists of 250 vintage and contemporary volumes in whichever genre is your favorite. The walls of your library will also be lined with artful objects, custom carpeting and framed prints. A book lover’s ultimate dream.

As if you’re own library wasn’t enough, if you’re prepared to spend $1,000,000 on Dancing Fountains from WET, you could have your own choreographed sprinklers. These dancing fountains would put every dancer on Dancing With The Stars to shame. For a cool million you can expect these pair of WET dancing fountains to ‘whirl, twirl, sweep, and bow—sometimes in unison, sometimes as counterpoints, but always with engaging grace.’

Just north of Manhattan you can experience a luxury weekend for two to Stone Barns farm for $20,000.  You will get a full access, behind the scenes of Barns Farm tour, a cooking lesson using farm-fresh ingredients, a special dinner cooked by Dan Barber and a record of your menu as a keepsake and you’ll get to stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Westchester. Who knew farming could be so chic?

Florists and botanists everywhere would jump at the chance to attend Europe’s best flower shows. They would probably all take a jump right back when they hear it costs $420,000. JetWay Private Air give you and nine friends a chance to attend Europe’s most renowned flower shows in style. Taking a plane in first class with a wine aficionado concierge as your guide, you will travel to Switzerland, Greece, France and finally London. With 2 nights and 3 days stay at each destination, in-flight gourmet meals, private transportation and tickets to each flower shows, experiences don’t come richer than this.

The most unique night in that scotch lovers will ever have costs a pretty reasonable (by Neiman Marcus standards) $5,000. Johnnie Walker Private Scotch Tasting provides a Scottish bagpiper that will come to your own home along with a Master of Whiskey who will tell the history of five Johnnie Walker premium marques. An event planner will sort out your evening for the entire duration and your guests will leave with a bottle of Johnnie’s premium-blend Blue Label. All you need do is sit back and enjoy your whiskey.

Take a look at the GiftGenies new headquarters! We wish this was true. The Dream Folly is based on the 1960’s TV show ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. Inside a very sturdy 18 foot yurt is the furnishings which are described as that of a beautiful genies glass bottle abode. The colours here were chosen to simulate that of a relaxing, bubble bath. The furnishings are hand embroidered, and there’s even a hand crafted crystal chandelier!

If you had three wishes to choose three of these Neiman Marcus ultimate Christmas gifts, which three would you choose? We’d love to know!

It’s that time of year again, time to become one with nature… as well as mud, wellies and the odd pint too. If you’re of the sympathetic persuasion, treat a daring individual to some top festival gifts, if not, laugh as they wrap their clothes in bin liners.

Every summer we return to the land, pretend we’re experienced ‘happy’ campers, utilise our survival instincts at the portaloos, tell ourselves that warm beer doesn’t taste that bad and see our carefully constructed ‘festival look’ disappear before our very eyes as we wade through the swampiest of sites. And who’d want it any other way? Festival season is well and truly here and Glastonbury’s triumph was only the start! With many muddy capers and starlit evenings of music to enjoy, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Festival Republic are kindly helping us spoil you welly-clad ones with weekend camping tickets worth £165 to the best of the boutique festivals – The Big Chill. Revel in three days of fun, frolicks and an endless choice of entertainment, relaxation and even massage therapy, this August 5th – 7th. With the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Janelle Monae, Kanye West, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Calvin Harris and Jessie J taking centre stage; good times, fond memories and well-used wellies are a foregone conclusion.
