You work hard to earn it… so why wouldn’t you work hard to burn it? Here are some of the most creative money pits we stumbled across this week:

  • Ultimate Advent Calendar, $112k: Leave it to Tiffany & Co. The luxury jewelry shop is selling an advent calendar filled with silver, gold, diamonds, and perfume for that special someone born with a diamond-encrusted platinum spoon in their mouth.
  • “Sold Out Chicken Sandwich” costume, $79.95: Time’s running out to get your Halloween costumes, people… and if you haven’t heard enough about Popeyes’ sold-out chicken sandos, this sexy sandwich costume could really make your night sizzle (and yes, they’re still in stock — the costumes, at least).
  • Urwerk Atomic Master Control Watch, $2.7m: The 2-part watch consists of a 70-pound atomic “base unit” that keeps the most accurate time on the planet and a mechanical wristwatch that syncs to it. It’s for those people in your life who like their time accurate to within 1 second every 317 years.
  • All-in-One Drinks System, $554: Lang’s water machine is arguably the world’s fanciest water filter (and mineralizer). If you’ve been looking for a machine that takes 2.5L of water, filters it for 6 minutes, and gives you 1.5L of, um, fresher-tasting water — look no further, friends.
