This year, lucky giftees can receive Rocketeer-style jetpacks, walk-on Broadway roles, a Versailles-inspired henhouse, arcade supermachine, the ultimate luxury tailgating trailer and tons more.

His and Hers 2012, Starting at $1,090,000.

"This tale of love found and lost inspired the "Poetic Wish" watches from Van Cleef & Arpels. Mini works of art on the outside and exemplary displays of technical watchmaking behind the dial, these masterpieces are in need of their own happily ever after."

What a Hoot, $70,000

In [Robert Wilson's] Video Portraits series, he features animals and people who appear static, as if portrayed within a painting. But the viewer is caught off guard when the subject unexpectedly breathes, blinks, or shifts. This modern riff on the eighteenth-century tableaux vivant beautifully pushes the boundaries between reality and imagination.
