Christmas gifts for the Glitterati?
Ever fantasised about what you’d buy if you won the lottery? Perhaps you need a bit of inspiration?
Firebox, the world’s greatest retailer, has - for the first time ever - developed a
Top 10 WTF?! (What The Firebox?!) gift list aimed at the mega-rich and the incredibly famous.
Curated by Firebox from its super high-end
WTF?! range, this
Top 10 gob-smacking list is the defining wish list of what to ask for this Christmas if money was no object.
Ben Fowler,
WTF?! Curator at Firebox, said: “Firebox is well known for its crazy, fun and entertaining gifts and gadgets but we wanted to bring attention to our most ridiculous, fantastical products that would make your eyes pop. Earlier this year we launched the WTF?! range – a range of Firebox products but gonzo. More insane, more quirky, more expensive and more unique, they will make you to cry out WTF?!”
Continuing, Ben said: “If I were rich and famous these are the kind of products I’d want for Christmas – they’re amazing, astounding and brilliant fun.”
Surveying Firebox’s Facebook Fans it was discovered that if money was no object its customers would opt for an island, world peace or never ending happiness. But perhaps they’ll settle for one of these instead?

Now that’s cool!
