Still, it exists with a veritable omnipresence – people always want to know what stroller Alia Bhatt is using or how Anushka Sharma protects her kids from the sun as they watch Virat on the field.
In the opulent corners of Bollywood, where baby showers rival royal banquets, we gathered many of the most violently expensive gifts people have given at baby showers in the past few years. Don’t be surprised if a few cost more than your monthly rent!
What’s On A Celebrity Couple’s Registry?
“We attended this baby shower in SoBo, and I kid you not, the most modest item on their registry was the Dior Baby Perfume. Yes, Dior has a whole line for newborn babies, no I did not know about it before I saw their registry.”
“A friend bragged about getting the Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Heart Baby Brush for her newborn. Born with a silver spoon? In 2024, try comb.”
“They were gushing over receiving Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino Bath Soap for the baby. Honestly, I didn’t even know soap could be that fancy.”
“A Versace Baby Bib. It’s all about brand recognition from the cradle, I guess.”
“The Gucci Diaper Bag. I think it’s It’s less about the diapers, more about declaring, ‘Yes, my baby’s pacifier is in the same bag as my lipstick.'”
“Someone gifted the Burberry Check Thomas Bear at this baby shower I went to last week. I can buy a new pair of shoes, a whole new makeup routine and still have money left for dinner – that’s how much it costs.”
“Their nursery now boasts a Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Scent Surround™ Diffuser. Because obviously, newborns appreciate the subtleties of home fragrance.”
“Wildest gift? Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Padova™ Baby Spoon, for sure. Because it’s not just feeding, it’s introducing baby to a lifetime of luxury, one spoonful at a time.”
“Have you ever seen a baby in a Dior stroller?Apparently, the idea is: why wait till they can walk to introduce them to the world of haute couture?”
“The hot topic was La Prairie’s Skin Caviar Luxe Cream for the little one’s cheeks. Apparently, it’s never too early to start worrying about wrinkles!”
“The LV Baby Wardrobe! By far one of the cutest, most expensive and unnecessary purchases you can make for your baby. But damn, if I had that kind of money I would totally buy it – who doesn’t want a baby vanity?”
“This one baby shower had the Nanhi Pitari – Wooden Gifting Box on the registry. Bath time is apparently the new spa day for the under-one crowd.”
As we wrap up our journey through the nursery of the absurdly affluent, it’s clear that these aren’t just gifts for newborn babies; they’re the first steps on a golden path, One might argue that such extravagance for someone who won’t remember any of it is utterly unnecessary. Yet, how else are we to cultivate the discerning tastes of tomorrow’s elite, those who’ll casually drop a lakh for a table at Bastian without batting an eyelash?
