Why you can trust SCMP

If you're having trouble deciding on that last-minute Christmas gift for a little one, why not put generations of mean-spirited relatives to shame with the ultimate gift voucher - a US$100,000 signature gift card from FAO Schwarz (left).

Cardholders will be transported to and from the New York-based toy store on their first visit by limousine and given a guided tour by one of its 'toy soldiers'. A concierge will introduce them

to a personal shopper and they'll be registered with a house account, allowing them to shop till they drop without having to reach for a wallet or the gift card.

If crowds are likely to spoil the shopping experience, there are private shopping hours to be taken advantage of.

While there, all the games in the Rec Room are available to try, including the Dance-on Piano (US$250,000) made famous in the Tom Hanks film Big. If all that playing tires the youngster out, they can relax over a plate of dessert at FAO Schweetz - but make sure it's after the complimentary ride on the aviation-calibre Motion Simulator. The day can be capped off with a photo album memento of the visit.
