Not to be left out by other department stores, Saks Fifth Avenue has their own version of over-the-top holiday gifts but a portion of the price of each of their gifts are donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The most coveted is the chance to own the first-ever SLR Mercedes-Benz Roadster Convertible. As part of the package you will fly to Monaco for the 2008 Formula One race and take private lessons from the pros at the Circuit Paul Richard Racetrack in Provence, France. The package costs $520,000, $10,000 of which will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The rest of the five gifts are a concert experience with Matchbox Twenty ($25,000, $5,000 of which will go to St. Jude's); a vacation experience in Bora Bora with chef Jean Georges Vongerichten which costs $115,000 ($5,000 of which goes to St. Jude's); a weekend in New York City which includes the chance to create a customized ring with jewelry designer Temple St. Clair and formulate your very own fragrances with Bond No. 9 founder Laurice Rahme, dine at Gramercy Tavern and go on a private shopping spree at Saks Fifth Avenue before the store opens which sells for $60,000 ($5,000 of which $5,000 will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital) and lastly five customized snowglobes to share with family and friends for $3,000 ($1,000 will be donated to St. Jude's).

I think Saks has won this one, with the SLR Mercedes. That is an amazing car, but to get tickets to the Monaco Grand Prix and get lessons as well? Oh my, I think I know what is on top of my husband‘s Santa list this year! And to boot, a portion goes to St Jude’s? Yes, Saks wins.

I got my Saks Christmas catalog and it has all of these packages inside! It also has a golfing package. The snowglobes are AMAZING. They are by far, the most beaufitul snowglobes I have ever seen in my life. And what a great reason to spend money on gifts, knowing part of it will be donated to St. Jude's! Earlier this year they had a special on the 2008 C350..if you buy it thru Saks, part of the money is donated to breast cancer research. I think it's great Saks started donating!
