Buy guide: Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand "goop" is known for being a little over-the-top, but some of these gift suggestions are beyond extravagant. Here's a look.

First, some background

These are highlights from goop's curated "Ridiculous But Awesome" gift guide, so at least there's a little self awareness about the excessiveness of most of these items. The site even prefaces the list by stating "Be honest: This is why you’re here in the first place."
Some of these items are available directly from goop, but most of them link to other sites. Unfortunately, many of them are out of stock. Even more unfortunate — several of them require you to contact the company for the price, which basically means you can't afford it.
The Giraffe Manor is a boutique hotel owned by the Safari Collection and located in a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. goop's website says that price is available upon request, but the hotel's website shows prices starting at $620 per night per person, which includes all meals, most drinks and chauffeured vehicles for sightseeing.
goop highlight: "The resident giraffes are known to stick their heads in the windows at breakfast."
Electric zero-emission yacht
This one's for the yacht enthusiast in your life. Q yachts' website states that "the future of electric boating has arrived" with the Q30 yacht. The Q30 has a cruising speed of 9 knots and can fit eight passengers. As you can imagine, this is likely out of your price range, but an exact price range isn't advertised.
goop highlight: "Totally silent and 100 percent electric, so you can be in nature without disturbing it."
This is a literal village for sale because why not?
Upon further inspection, the site with this specific listing (called Aldeas Abandonadas Inmobiliaria, which roughly translates to Abandoned Village Real Estate) has several villages for sale, so you can get one for each of your friends and family members.
According to the British Mountaineering Council, many guide services charge between $60,000 and $65,000 to climb Everest, so this adventure might actually be a great deal if your goal is simply to experience the mountain.
While the flight itself will take "the better part of a day," participants should plan to spend several weeks in Nepal.
In case those weren't your style — or were completely out of your price range — here are a few more affordable options, plus one extremely not affordable one.
