While Britney has certainly had her share of messes there is one thing you can say…the girl knows how to shop.

According to ShowBiz Spy, this past April, Britney gave Kevin a $150,000 diamond encrusted watch from Jacob & Co for his 30th birthday.

I don’t know the exact watch she gave him but I did find a similar model at Luxury Bazaar retailing for….$1 million.  Pocket change right?

Here are some of the specs:

- 71.36 ct on Total Diamond Weight
- 329 Baguette & 5 rose cut diamonds on dial
- 224 Baguette diamonds on band

Ridiculous!  But hey if you have the money I’m sure it would make a great gift for someone that really, really likes watches…or diamonds!

We always see photos of Brad Pitt taking the kids for rides in helicopters, playing on ATV’s and cruising around all sexy on his motorcycles (I added the ‘all sexy’ part). So for a man who already has all of these toys, what in the world do you get him for his birthday?

According to the Courier Mail, you apparently buy him a $100,000 custom engraved motorcycle. Or at least that is what you do if you are Angelina Jolie.

Angelina gave Brad a brand new motorcycle featuring a plaque on the handlebars that reads ‘My Sweetheart, the Drunk‘. While that doesn’t sound very romantic, it’s the name of a Jeff Buckley album, who is apparently Brad’s favorite musician.

Now I can’t afford to buy Brad a brand new motorcycle but I can give him great gift-buying tips…he’ll probably want to marry me soon.

Luxist reported in November that the Beckhams gave their three boys an out of the ordinary tree fort, costing around $50,000!!!

The ‘TreeTent‘ from Neiman Marcus is a 13-foot tall pseudo-building boasting a 9-foot diameter, hardwood floors and a round mattress inside. That’s a pretty big tent/tree-fort/whatever it is!

While most of us can’t afford to buy our kids glorified tents costing $50k, we can explore other options.

Build Your own

There are a ton of places on the internet that have free plans and drawings available. All you need is a visit to your home depot and a few friends who know what they are doing. Heck, my dad nailed a few pieces of plywood to the tree in my backyard and called it a tree fort - I was perfectly happy with that.

Hire Someone To Build It

This will certainly cost you more than nailing some boards to a tree but there are some really cool designs available out there. Check out Tree Top Builders or The Living Tree House.

Buy a Pre-Made TreeHouse or PlayHouse

This is probably the easiest option and probably the best in terms of value. There are a number of places out there where you can get a cool tree house/fortfor relatively cheap and you don’t have to build it.

Whatever you choose if you have the tree or the yard for it, I guarantee your kids will love having a tree house. Or if you have an extra $50k, a tree tent!

I saw not too long ago that Jessica Alba received a diaper cake from her mother (I think) at her baby shower. I’m trying to find the article I read specifically, but all I’ve been able to come up with so far is this picture of an article in People magazine which references the cake in question.

In my research, I also found mention of a Sex and the City episode where Carrie and Samantha give Miranda a diaper cake.

If you want to get your diaper cake from the same, trendy store that Jessica received hers from, check out Intuition’s online shop (the store is located on 10581 W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles).

I’m more of a believer of buying from “the little guy” and “good people”, and I was lucky enough to find Belinda Wasser’s Blueberry Babies online, and the diaper cakes she offers:

pink orchids	blue mums

mint green gladiolas	pink safari daisies

For those of you who want to do-it-yourself, check out this tutorial on how to make a diaper cake.

Back in the Christmas 2007 season, Brad Pitt told Regis and Kelly that one of his favorite toys as a child were toy helicopters. His plan for that Christmas was to give his kids the same joy he had as a kid by giving them toy helicopters.

I don’t believe that there have been any reports about what exactly Brad gave the kids, but we can use our imaginations and look at some of the choices out there:

Remote Controlled Helicopters

Brookstone Remote Controlled Helicopter - Ultra-light body and easy-to-use remote control. Operates on different frequencies so it won’t interfere with phones or other wireless devices. Multi-function remote allows you to move the helicopter every which way. Helicopter runs for 15-20 minutes on a charge and has an integrated rechargeable battery. Recharge the aircraft via the charging jack on the remote control. Extra rotors and stabilizers are included in case of hard landings. Remote uses six AA batteries (not included).

Sharper Image: Air Hogs R/C Havoc Heli Laser Battle - Blast Your Opponent Out of the Air! “World’s smallest advanced radio-controlled helicopter.” Armed with infrared beam weapons — complete with authentic battle and action sounds. When two Havoc Helis engage in thrilling air-to-air combat, only one will fly away victorious — 3 hits force your opponent down! Comes complete with two Havoc Helis (each with distinctive markings) and two wireless controllers/chargers (with radio channel selector). Helis run on built-in rechargeable lithium batteries. Each controller runs on 6 AA batteries (order separately). Ages 8 and older.

Hammacher Schlemmer, $299 - This remote controlled helicopter can be maneuvered by beginning flight enthusiasts through doorways and hallways indoors, and up to a range of 1,000′ outdoors, because it has counter-rotating rotors that eliminate the unstabilizing effects of angular momentum, a condition common to all traditional helicopters.

Hammacher Schlemmer, $79 - This palm-sized helicopter has two contra-rotating coaxial rotors that use gyroscopic inertia to keep the copter balanced and two micro-motors that spin the rotors at varying speeds, resulting in precise and effortless 360 movement up to a range of 50′. Its sleek plastic frame has a tail boom, tail fin, and four landing legs, resulting in a small footprint, making it ideal for indoor flight. Two flashing LEDs allow nighttime or darkened indoor flights. The included rechargeable lithium battery enables flights up to eight minutes and recharges easily from its charging base which requires six C batteries. Two-channel remote transmitter requires one 9-volt battery. Ages 10 and up.

Hammacher Schlemmer, $49 - Ready to fly out of the box, this fully-assembled remote-control helicopter allows beginners to test their flying skills indoors in large, open areas, and at heights up to 100′ outdoors. Equipped with operating navigational lights for nighttime flights, the toy helicopter has a counter-balanced rotational drive that keeps the dual coaxial rotors counter-synchronized for stability. The dual-frequency transmitter controls vertical movement up to a range of 200′ for four minutes before requiring a recharge on the included recharge pad, which revitalizes the built-in battery in five minutes. Six sets of decals are included for customizing the look of the helicopter. Requires eight C and two 9-volt batteries. Specify Blue frequency or Orange. Ages 8 and up.

Copters for the Little Kids
