What would you do with $1 million? Invest in property, take an extended luxury holiday or give it all away to charity?
With the onset of the festive season, another option has emerged: a Christmas hamper that takes the gift of giving to new extremes. The Million Dollar Holiday Hamper, courtesy of the Ritz-Carlton, includes a two-night stay in the Hong Kong hotel's presidential suite, use of a Rolls-Royce limousine and daily champagne breakfasts. Guests are then whisked to Bali by private jet, where they spend three nights at the hotel's Cliff Villas being pampered with luxurious spa services. Other enticements (right) include Cohiba cigars, his and her watches and diamond jewellery by Chopard.
If your budget doesn't extend to this kind of indulgence, the hotel sells more conventional (and affordable) hampers. A Deluxe Christmas Hamper ($3,888) includes champagne, Christmas pudding, tea and marmalade, as well as other tasty nibbles, while the Christmas Hamper ($1,888) contains red wines and pastries to get you in the Yuletide spirit.
