Posh Tots offers insanely expensive stuff for your little one. And if you register your email on their website, you can win a $2500 shopping spree. Which, from what I have seen, will not actually buy anything in their catalog. Allow me to highlight some of my favorite items:
Red Beard's Revenge Pirate Ship Playhouse: $52,000. Look, I get it, pirate stuff is in. But $52 grand in? This ship costs more than the real sailboat I would want to cruise around the Caribbean in retirement.
Sophie's Magical Windmill Playhouse: $38,000. It's a playhouse, not an actual house. You shouldn't have to take out a mortgage to buy it.
Sky King Tricycle in Red: $249. I love the sock monkey riding it in the picture, but sock monkey better get a second job. This is a replica of a 1936 trike, which I guarantee did not cost anywhere near $250. You can also get your kid his own mini Beemer or Mercedes for $7500-9000.
Fairy Tale Princess room: $3600 plus. The bed starts at $3600, and that doesn't include the $1000 sheets.
Fantasy Coach bed: $47,000. Why settle for the cheap Fairy Tale Princess room when your princess can sleep in her own coach for just $47 grand?
I could go on and on, but it's better just to let you browse around their site and gape at the price tags.
