Colorware’s gold-plated Xbox controllers

True gamers are going to go gaga for these 24k gold-plated controllers from ColorWare, which makes playing on the Xbox one or PS4 oh so much more enjoyable. The controller itself has a highly sensitive six-axis sensor and touch pad that provides you with a whole new method of gaming interaction, features improved dual analog sticks and trigger buttons for greater control and a slick, luxe look. The best part: these custom-made babies only retail for $299 a set. The worst part: there will only be a limited number of 25 made, so scoop one up while you still can.

DUALIT 24K GOLD-PLATED TOASTER

Those crafty folks at Selfridges sure know a thing or two about dough, which is why they put this 24K gold-plated toaster from Dualit on the market during the holidays. The best part: you can actually use this gold gift—it offers as much functionality as a regular toaster, boasts an additional feature of a defrost setting for frozen bread…and it sure does look pretty.
