What Xmas Gifts Do Stars Really Give Each Other?
“Many stars are privately spending on big-ticket items for those nearest and dearest to them, but publicly they want to be conscious of the economic situation many of their fans are in,” Fary dishes.
What kinds of fancy, down-low items? Pricey fine jewelry and cars, mostly, I am told.
Last year, a bunch of celebrities bought each other cars for Christmas: Tyler Perry reportedly bought Oprah and her best friend Gayle King each a $245,000 Bentley. Paris Hilton, meanwhile, apparently bought herself a pink Bentley this time last year, also as a Christmas gift. You know, for her best friend.
But beyond that, stars like to spend money on smaller stuff, too. As for other stuff, well, there are always those spa packages. Or luggage. Stars really apparently love luggage.
“Rachael Ray has been placing constant orders with us,” a spokeswoman for the luggage company Titan tells me. “Her most recent one was just two weeks ago when she bought a ton of bags—some from our brand-new line called The Backstage—for her family and friends.”
And that doesn’t even include the custom luggage. For the kids.
“A celeb couple that not only travels ONLY with our luggage but has also been known to buy it as presents is Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale,” the Titan spokesperson said. “We also did a special bag line just for their son Kingston that is not available for anyone to buy.”
So now you know. It’s luggage. Or a supersecret car.
