10 Over-the-Top Holiday Kids' Gifts

Ho, ho, holy expensive Christmas list!

We're talking $6,000 play houses, $10,000 ride-on elephants and $24,000 robots. Forget stashing a deck of Uno cards or even Zhu Zhu pets in the stockings of a certain breed of posh tots. Only Tiffany, Burberry and Stella McCartney will do.

Whether you're some sort of sultan with cash to burn, plan to blow that holiday bonus you're finally receiving again or just like to laugh at the lavish products out there, our list of 10 truly over-the-top gifts for kids will have you extending your line of credit -- or at least chuckling at the extravagance of it all.

Santa might want to take out extra insurance this year.

1. Lilliput Play Homes Snow White's Cottage: When a cardboard or plastic play house just won't cut it, turn to luxury play house builder Lilliput. Your princess will delight in this 7-foot-wide by 6-foot-deep cottage, complete with cedar shingles and hardwood floors. Oh, and when she gets sleepy? She can run up the stairs to the loft for a nap.

4. Lagos Pink Sapphire Heart Necklace: You're never too young for jewelry, right? So, maybe our kids can't wear a necklace for 10 minutes without twisting it into knots. But we're sure posh tots are able to don their jewels with no problems at all. At any rate, they'll definitely sparkle when wearing this heart charm covered in pavé pink sapphires. Neiman Marcus, $350.

5. Red Baron Pedal Bi-Plane: You know, if you're a kid without your own plane, you're just not cool. So, pilots in training best be asking Santa for this aircraft -- the propellers move as you pedal.
