The seven strangest gifts on Goop's holiday gift guide
Gwyneth Paltrow has released her annual holiday gift guide and many of the items she’s recommended are as extravagant and strange as you would imagine from the Goop founder.
To make it easy to find gift inspiration for everyone in your life, Goop broke the guide into 12 categories - including “The Host,” “The One-Step-Aheader’s,” “The Travellers,” and “The Guys.”
Apart from the outrageously priced gifts such as a $22,560 (£17,583) pair of Vram earrings or a $139,000 (£108,000) RV “that’s nicer than most homes without wheels,” many of the presents make you question who would actually want them this holiday season.
These are the seven strangest gifts on the Goop gift guide.
A “seed-to-sale tour”
For $295 (£229), your loved ones can have the chance to visit farms where cannabis is grown and “learn the different life cycles of the plant.”
Goop also recommends some $50 (£38) 24K gold rolling papers which can be given as a stocking stuffer to round out the theme.
Butter churner
A $39 (£30) butter churner is for anyone who wants to make cooking a chore - by preferring to use only hand-churned spreads.
Hand-churned butter probably does taste better, however.
An entire village
If the gift of one home just wouldn’t cut it, Paltrow has the perfect solution - a reasonably priced “village” in Lugo, Spain.
According to the real estate website, the rural village includes houses, buildings, farm and river - and it’s available for just $172,910 (£134,000).
Walnut and brass tic-tac-toe set
For those who prefer to play tic-tac-toe on a wood set rather than a paper napkin, Paltrow recommends this fancy gift.
While it does seem extravagant, the board is actually quite large so you’ll never have to risk accidentally throwing out your game.
Levitating light bulb
Goop also suggests a levitating light this holiday season to “accompany all your best lightbulb moments.”
The LED light costs $349 (£272) which seems a bit steep - until you remember it is made from oak and gold.
Wooden hygge swing
Embracing the Danish concept of hygge, a lifestyle that revolves around comfort and wellness, Goop is recommending a wooden swing for $225 (£175).
Unfortunately, the recipient of the gift is in charge of installation - which sounds quite stressful.
Clip-on bidet
For just $69 (£53), your loved ones can pamper themselves with a easy-to-use clip-on bidet.

The bidet sellers promise the gadget will “change your world in 10 minutes.”
Goop frequently recommends questionable lifestyle advice - from crystal vaginal eggs to completely silent 10-day meditation retreats - but this year’s gift guide takes it to a whole new level.
