Gold spells good business in these difficult financial times. And with the price going over $1,000 an ounce, there is a suddent gold rush among the people who are looking for a safe investment to put their savings in. That is just the reason why gold bars have come back into fashion. Now, even brands likes Harrods have decided to take a detour from the conventional path and sell bullions at the very same counter that sells other gold jewelry too.

According to The London Times, the Knightbridge store has started stacking the miniature vault with pure Swiss gold bullions to cater to the growing demand for the same in the precious metal market. Again, there is the option of buying gold coins too.

All this is happening with a collaboration between Harrods and the Swiss refiner  Produits Artistiques Metaux Precieux. They are also offering online sales as not everyone would want to brave the traffic to reach the department store. You can be sure of the purity too for a gold bar comes nothing less than $466,000. The brand is also offering a safe deposit box in case you do not have a proper place to store the bullion in.

If you are interested in terms like Elevator or Texas Cowboy you would also be interested in Yo Yos. These awesome Yo Yos are being touted as the world’s most expensive and I am sure you would certainly want to claim some of them your own.

They will soon be available at exclusive stores like Harrods, Hamleys, The Science Museum and at Play.com. These awesome Yo Yos are already registered in the Guinness book of World Records. The Yo Yos come in wooden boxes and are made of forged magnesium. With ultra smooth spins, you can rest assured that you have the world’s most exclusive pair of retro Yo yos.

At £300 I would love to own them myself, but I am quite broke to be spending on them! If you ever happen to have grandchildren, they would treasure these pieces as mementoes or rather, they would treasure these Yo Yos as heirlooms.

Vi-Spring has launched a king sized bed which is not royal just in its size but also in its name and size. It is called The Majesty and costs $84,425 and is available at Harrods.

It comes with mattress, divan, headboard and scatter cushions which are all designed by some of the best designers making use of layers of silk, cashmere, blended lamb’s wool and cotton. It even comes with 6,240 springs to give you that spring-like feel which is so adored by everyone. I would say this is one of the most luxurious beds I have ever come across.

You should get this if you are planning to sleep a night f blissful sleep. I can’t imagine why people do not spend on such luxurious if they can afford, and simply waste all the time and money they have by saving it all up. If money is meant to be spent, what is the point of saving and not enjoying it?

Bags are not all about peaches and cream. Even men need to carry bag. Big and hot macho men need to carry luxury bags as well, so that their male and female fans can find another reason to ogle at them. However, searching for that luxurious man bag is very difficult and sometimes just impossible.

However, Taddei Harmarnee looks pretty cute and fit enough for a good looking and hot guy. It is available at the Harrods for nearly £700 and it is quite expensive if you ask me. Nevertheless, since it is one of the few luxury man bags around, I am sure your man will love it.

If you are guy and are reading this, you should immediately go to the Harrods and pick his up for yourself! Don’t delay, as this bag may go out of sale and you would have no luxury bags to carry around.

Harrods is auctioning what is being touted as the world’s most expensive shirt. The shirt has been designed by Eton and comes with diamonds encrusted in it. The coveted shirt is made of Egyptian cotton and is adorned with seven different colored diamonds.

The good thing is, the proceedings from the auction will go to charity. The flipside of course is that someone would be willing spend this kind of money when the world is reeling under crisis. What is with the rich folks these days anyway!

Talk about recession and we have ended up splurging on luxury items just to heal our wounds and to make a run from the oppressive reality. Well here is another proof to the fact that when you are down in the dumps, you just have to go ahead and splurge some more at a luxury department store. Diamond shoes? Bring them on too!

The rising crime rate in the world can be seen as a reason for Miguel Caballero�s having deep pockets. Engaged into designing bulletproof clothing for past 16-years, the Colombian designer maintains its charm in high-security fashion by unveiling various revolutionary offerings. With all efforts invested to have a security shield without missing on style, Miguel lately unveiled his novel collection detailing blazers, slickers and suede jackets, some sated with a reassuring stab-proof coating at his London department store Harrods. The collection aims at offering three levels of ballistic defense to its proud holders.

Few of the apparels include a polo shirt that can endure a whack from a 9-mm handgun valued at $7,500 whilst another version costing $9,800 shields wearers from mechanical weapons, counting mini-Uzis. If figures do make a difference to you then it generated sales of $9 million in 2007. The Caballero-secured clothing is now becoming the choice of high-profile clients i.e. King Abdullah of Jordan, Venezuelan President Hugo Ch�vez and actor Stephen Segal. Mind you, the elite clan loves security and style as they have a heart to spill over the hidden cost involved.
