Indulge yourself with the ultimate luxury delicacy. Paramount Caviar presents Acipenser Persicus, a farmed Osetra Sturgeon. Its beautiful golden color with a delicate fruity and nutty flavor is a must taste. The scrumptious eggs take at least 8 to 10 years to mature, but they are definitely worth the wait. Order Golden Osetra for a night in for yourself at around $200 an ounce or make it a social and order some for you and fellow savionaires at around $3,000 a pound. www.paramountcaviar.com

Susan’s Secret: Some bartenders believe that gin bruises easily, which means that if it is shaken, it will change the taste/flavor of it. As a bartender, I suggest stirring, instead of shaking gin. What is your favorite gin drink for the holiday season?

If you’ve been watching your budget all year, there’s no better time than the holidays to think about what you might really want to splurge on. If you’re lucky enough to have some generous friends and family, you can get a taste of luxury in your life without worrying about your own budget!
A nice dinner out. It’s sometimes difficult to stomach a pricey dinner out when you know you could be cooking for yourself at home or spending the money on something more tangible like a new coat or new pair of shoes. However, a dinner out with someone special at a restaurant that really goes above and beyond to make the night feel like an experience can be a great gift to ask for. An added benefit is that if you save it to use a few months down the road, you’ll get to spend a few months looking forward to it, something that’s often pointed to as an important element in causing experiences to bring us more happiness than things.
A cooking class. Cooking classes can be a ton of fun whether you enjoy cooking or not! They’re a great way to meet people and have some drinks while you prepare a decadent meal. You get to pick the kind of dinner you’d like to attend and bring home a recipe at the end of the night too, which means you can recreate the meal at home down the road.
Luggage. Luggage is one of those things that you’ll always need, and it’s worth investing in quality pieces so that you don’t end up having to constantly replace it or even worse, stuck in an airport with a bag that won’t roll or a broken handle. Whether it’s a nice garment bag, duffel or carry-on suitcase, do some research and put a nice piece on your next trip!

A savionaire wouldn’t dare place matching his and hers vintage Patek Phillipe Calatravas on a dresser. A watch, like any other piece of fine luxury, has to be stored properly. No other watch box signifies luxury than one hand made by Style of Wood. The Ebony Macassar with Aluminum watch box is a must have! The inside of this shining box is made of Black Alcantara, which is the same material that is used for the inside of luxurious cars. There are 2 levels to this 100% hand-made Italian box: one is for 8 watches and the other is open storage space.
Susan’s Secret: The Ebony Macassar with Aluminum watch box is the perfect gift for the watch connoisseur. It is definitely worth its $1,920+ price tag.
