I know it's not the gift giving season just yet, but since today is Halloween, the time to buy people gifts will be here before you know it. They used to wait until after Thanksgiving before they started all this, but not anymore. The stores and the TV ads are all ready to blow up in your face with reasons why you need to go out and buy lots of "stuff" to show all the people who are close to you just how much you care. You do care, don’t you?
So it seems I’ve found the perfect gift...
Aquatic Pod Suite
A Hammacher Schlemmer catalog exclusive, this is the world's only aquatic pod suite that offers panoramic views simultaneously above and below the surface of the water. Circular, with a "flying saucer" aspect, the suite rests directly on the water, the lower portion submerged approximately five feet. Perfect as a getaway at a favorite lagoon, beach, lake or river, the suite offers spectacular 300° views of the environment.
Beam lights illuminate the depths for viewing the aquatic surroundings after dark. With a 150 square-foot interior, the self-contained, circular suite has all the furnishings for two people to enjoy on-the-water living. The interior has a central air conditioning system, desalination unit, mini-bar, audio-video system with Bose® stereo, king-size bed, toilet and shower. Outside, a floating terrace circumscribes the unit, providing a 6.6-foot-wide surface for sun bathing or enjoying breezes off the water. The inflatable terrace also lends stability and extra buoyancy to the suite, and protects it from scratches and bumps when visiting boats or windsurfers dock alongside. The above-water entrance is a watertight aviation design that prevents stray moisture and splashes from dampening the interior. Unlike houseboats, this unit remains permanently anchored at a specific location by an environmentally-friendly anchor that attaches with a durable, corrosion-resistant chain. It can also be towed by a boat. 
A 2.5kva diesel generator with exhaust silencer produces 220-volt power to supply all necessary electricity. Interior headroom is 71/3' H. Exterior is 281/2' Diameter (including the floating terrace). (Overall weight 5,500 lbs., including ballast)
 Personalized service: call 1-800-227-3518 between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. Eastern time and our Product Specialists will answer your questions. The unit is shipped and delivered by the manufacturer's representatives and covered exclusively by the manufacturer's warranty. Price includes delivery to the location of your choice anywhere in the U.S., plus "white glove" assembly, water launch and training by a 4-man crew, but does not include local taxes or license fees. Please allow 4 months for delivery.
What an amazing gesture this would be for anyone you love. Now this is the kind of gift that says "God dammit, I care about you so much!". Come on - just how often is it that you receive a gift that is delivered by helicopter and is assembled by a team wearing "white gloves"? There’s another reason you need to know about this now – it can take up to four months to deliver. Hey that’s just as long as the backlog on the wait for a new Playstation II. But seriously, I guess this is the kind of thing you buy when you can wipe your ass with $100 bills.
You're likely thinking what’s the point of all of this? Well, there really is none. I am just amazed that this kind of gift even exists. You can actually buy it with your credit card through the website. I started going through the process and even got to the "checkout" part, where it showed one item in my online shopping cart totaling US $91,000. This seem strange to anyone else?
