![]() If that's not her intention and she wants to offer products that are for wealthier individuals, come out right and say it.Īnyways, at least she can make fun of herself, I guess? You be the judge. Also, if Paltrow doesn't want those pesky stigmas attached to Goop, then maybe she should start including even more relatable items. That way the "Ridiculous" gift guide would be that much funnier and more appreciated. I feel like if Paltrow and Goop truly wanted to come off funny, then maybe they should've offered items that are more realistic for the everyday person in each category, especially price-wise. And if you glance at the "Collector" list, who really needs crystal fireplace logs that cost $330? Really, the only non-ridiculous guide is the "Secret Santa" one, where everything is under $50. I don't know about you, but I would never have the desire to spend $530 on just a pajama top. Not everyone has over $2,000 around to spend on a purse. If you take a look at this year's "Maximalist" category, the prices for some of the items are beyond ridiculous. With all that, is Goop truly poking fun at itself? Despite Paltrow saying they're doing exactly that, the "Ridiculous" gift guide doesn't really seem that much more ridiculous than previous and current items featured on the regular gift guides. Gwyneth Paltrows website Goop has taken Fathers Day to the next level, unveiling an extravagant and rather raunchy Fathers Day gift guide, that includes everything from a 10,000 watch to a. However, as Paltrow said at the Innovation Festival, " we sell what we love and what we are looking for and we want to buy." She realizes there is a stigma attached to the site, but says, "its not actually accurate." I mean, I guess in a way she's dismissing such stigmas with this "Ridiculous" category and suggesting people purchase a trip to space, a condom dispenser, or an actual ball and chain. I think the most ridiculous thing is there’s a website that’s selling solid gold dumbbells.Įach gift guide does offer products that range in prices, with a lot being quite expensive and out of most people's budgets. So, I think there’s a trip to space on there and a hot air balloon. And this year, we actually have a number of gift guides, but one of them is just called "Ridiculous". Our gift guide is coming out on Thursday. As she said during Fast Company Innovation Festival on Tuesday, Sometimes we like to just have fun and sort of make fun of ourselves or put on some ridiculous thing to make ourselves laugh. Whatever the case, per Paltrow, it was her intention to essentially come off jokey with a few of the items. Paltrow and her lifestyle site are apparently poking fun at themselves for offering some over-the-top gift ideas, but it's pretty amusing because you know the Oscar-winning actress probably owns most of them. Oh Goop, you know how to treat your best and worst critics right. Actually, there is an entire guide called "Ridiculous (and Awesome) Gifts". It's the most wonderful time of the year (and, yes, I just sang that in my best Andy Williams voice)! Gwyneth Paltrow's 2015 Goop gift guides are here and if you're hoping there are some ridiculous items included like in years past, you're in luck.
