Dollar Teddy Bear Lets You Snuggle Money

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —


Vivre calls Johnny Swing's Dollar teddy bear "cuddly consolation for a bear market." The bear is sewn entirely out of genuine U.S. dollar bills. No eyes, no mouth, just old dollar bills (although having the bear's feet made of matching George Washington faces is a nice touch). The bear is 12" tall and sells for a whopping $1,250 (far more than what is sewn on his body).

Wife of Washington Lobbyist Uses Money as Wrapping Paper

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Wealth


When it comes to gifts usually it's what's on the inside that counts, but that's not necessarily the case for the gifts Edwina Rogers gives -- she wraps her presents in money. Uncut sheets of real, government-issued, dollar bills.

The wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers gets the money sheets from the United States Bureau of Engraving (you can order them for yourself here) and then slices and dices as you would any wrapping paper to best fit the gift and get the best pattern on the front of the package (in this case it's lining up Washington's face just right). No matter that she regularly cuts several bills in half in the process, to be frugal she sticks to the dollar paper and only uses it to wrap "small" gifts.

A sheet of money paper consisting of 32 $1 bills sells for $55.

Flaunt What You Got with a Money Sculpture!

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor


Even though the latest trend for the rich is "stealth wealth," there are bound to be those out there who just can't help but flaunt what they've got. One way to do it is to get yourself a money sculpture, or I suppose you could make your own if you have an artistic bend towards paper mache. You can easily customize it by using any dollar denomination you want (it cracks me up that this one is made of $1 dollar bills) and hey, if you're a little short on cash and don't want to hit the ATM you can just peel off a few bills and be good to go.

Million Dollar Coconut Brandy...Any Takers?

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Spirits

Mendis is introducing the world's first ultra-premium coconut brandy, and they're not shy about making a big deal about it. Mendis coconut brandy is an all-natural, clear brandy with delicate tones of coconut, vanilla, and chocolate and a "velvety sweet texture." It's recommended neat or on the rocks, but can also be enjoyed mixed.

The very first bottle of this very first coconut brandy is going up for sale in August for $1 million dollars. So if you're the type to collect "firsts," or really love coconut flavored drinks, or just happened to have an extra million or so burning a hole in your pocket, then you might want to hurry and buy that first fancy bottle as it rolls off the product line (well, I'm sure it doesn't actually roll, do you think?) before somebody else does. Or if you're like me, and even if you had it really wouldn't spend that kinda money on a single bottle of anything, you can enter to win the second bottle for free -- along with a luxury trip to go pick it up and personal security to help you hold on to your pricey little prize.

So how much do you think it would go for on eBay?
