What do you get the woman who has everything? A wall – an actual wall – of roses, hydrangeas and peonies apparently.
Yep, that’s what Kanye bought for Kim Kardashian this mother’s day. Saves on watering the flower beds we suppose, but we can’t help thinking a nice bunch of roses would have been more practical.
Celebs do like their grand gestures though and they tend, on the whole, to have more money than sense.
So, here’s some other very silly gifts famous people have bought for each other.
1. A wisdom tooth dipped in gold
When Ryan Reynolds turned 31 back in 2007, his then girlfriend Scarlett Johansson wanted to get him something really special. Having just had her wisdom tooth removed, she put two and two together and presented him with her wisdom tooth dipped in gold and strung on a necklace. We imagine he only wears it on very special occasions.
2. Cupcakes every Friday at 3pm
For her famous friend’s 34th birthday, Heidi Klum arranged for 12 cupcakes to be delivered to her house every Friday at 3pm, for a year. This seems pretty awesome to us but when we heard the lucky celeb was none other than Victoria Beckham, we were slightly bemused. Know your audience Klum.
3. A waterfall
With Brad Pitt’s birthday falling on December 18, Ange always has the tricky task of finding a joint birthday/Christmas present for the man who has everything. In 2011, she ignored the classic sock/golf ball combination and bought him a waterfall instead. Brad is believed to be building a house for his brood overlooking the waterfall inspired by his favorite American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
We kind of like the idea of Brangelina re-enacting Last of the Mohicans under there.
4. A trip to Outer Space
In 2010, back in happier times, Katy Perry bought her future hubby, Russell Brand a return ticket to Space on Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Spaceship, with the first flight scheduled to take place in late 2014. Now they’ve split, we suspect she wishes she’d opted for a one-way ticket.
5. 10 Burger Kings
Back to Kimye because they really are the best at this. Rumours circulated recently that Kanye had bought Kim 10 European franchises of Burger King to celebrate their forthcoming nuptials, with a source telling the Daily Star that Kanye sees the fast food industry as ‘reliable and lucrative, plus BK is international so he thinks it’s the perfect fit for Kim.’ Right.
Sadly, the home of the Whopper says it is unaware of any recent purchase of Burger King restaurants by the couple, but did add that they were happy to cater the wedding reception. Now there’s an offer you can’t refuse.
