Gift Ideas

When you think of an exotic car rental, some see a sparkling red Ferrari and hear the orgasmic hum of many, many horses.  While there is certainly nothing wrong with the described mental image, some forget about the old school glamour of a classic Rolls Royce.

You look like you have seen a ghost.  Before you get to absorbed in flashbacks of days gone by, take a gander at the modern and fresh Rolls Royce rental car, our Ghost.  

The body of the Rolls Ghost retains most of the classic design cues that we all love, yet projects a modern and edgy vibe following a makeover.  The Ghost rental is an excellent choice to impress clients, celebrate a special event, indulge in an anniversary, or be chauffeured for that intimate occasion!

Own a luxury car and ache to realize its full potential?  Take it to the track!  It is absolutely astounding how many drivers and owners (yes, you may also try a luxury rental car at a track) fail to realize that they can take their dream machines to an actual racetrack and enjoy them in their element.

So now that we all know that you do not have to be a famous racecar driver to hit the track, let’s talk about why it is awesome.  First off, there is nowhere else that enables a driver to pick up advanced skills more safely and rapidly.

On a racetrack, you can (legally) obtain a feel for what your luxury car is actually capable of, in a controlled environment that provides more safety.  Perhaps long ago it was acceptable to carve into the side of a mountain with your bitch-fast car, as there was less traffic, law enforcement, and punishments, but now it is advised against.  So a smoke-signal to my fellow driving enthusiasts to take your performance cars to the track is in order!

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I like to scan your website for stories and information on awesome cars.  My birthday is coming up soon, and I think I want to rent a luxury car for the first time.  The problem is that I am overwhelmed by the options, can you recommend a good first time luxury car rental? 

After checking out all of your cars, I have only narrowed it down to the fact that I prefer a convertible, and not a luxury SUV rental this time. 

Any input is appreciated greatly, and I am really excited to try this out.
 

Thanks,
Toby, Miami, FL
 

The M31 luxury watch by Wiegand is certainly attractive, and will set you back around $475.  We think it would look great dangling out the window of one of our luxury rental cars. 

I like the sleek and understated elegance, and the chrome and red color scheme.  Picture this luxury watch with a flashy red Ferrari rental as a backdrop; even James Bond would take a second glance.  Ahh how we love all that is luxury.  So what is so special about this particular wristwatch?  Here are some of its eh, specs:

I came across an article today that I found to be a fabulous example of philanthropy, it is called “Exotic Cars for a Cause”.  This is an annual event created by Memphis Cars Italia to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity.  So how does it work?

Each year Memphis cars puts on its “Worldwide Exotic Italian Car Show”, and it does this strategically on Father’s Day.  Why?  Because Dad’s love luxury cars and around 50-60 of them are put on display for them to drool over (for a small fee, of course).  Proceeds and donations then benefit Habitat for Humanity of greater Memphis.

You most certainly read that right- there is a MacBook Air in existence that will set you back an astounding $486,616 USD.  While some expletives come to mind at this, keep in mind that it weighs 15.4 pounds and is made of platinum!  This is one heavy apple.

As every tech geek and gadget stalker is well aware of, the new iPhone 4 came out yesterday, which means there were likely a lot of sick days called in.  Yes, drones of Apple lovers (and I am not referring to Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter) endured the sweltering heat in many parts of the country today, waiting in lines that wrapped neatly around city blocks.

Hundreds waited outside of Apple’s flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York hoping to wrap their paws around the iPhone 4, in all it’s technological glory.  I feel that some people would stand in line without food, water or encouragement for an iPhone, but wonder if they would do the same for a shiny new Ferrari F430 Spider or other luxury rental car? 

This year we at Imagine Lifestyles have put together a list of ideas to assist our fans and readers with the annual event of deciding on the perfect Father’s Day gift.  So without further ado, here are this year’s top 5 luxury gifts for Father’s Day:

1.    3-D, LCD, LED, HD TV by Samsung
2.    Gift certificate to an exotic restaurant
3.    Luxury rental car
4.    ipad
5.    Helicopter charter

It is that time of the year again, the time to rack your brain in efforts to come up with a cool gift idea for Father’s Day.  Whether you are trying to outdo others in the family, or yourself, I have the perfect idea.

Why not take it up a notch for dear ol’ Dad this year and spring for a helicopter charter Miami style?  Imagine the look of sheer surprise and elation on his face when he sees it, and realizes he is not getting just another wallet or pair of socks this year.  This year, you could give him the exhilaration of a memory that will make him smile for years to come.  And competition?  Forget about it.  This year, you could be the star (if you are a competitive type).

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I am getting married in August, and have decided that I prefer to rent an exotic chauffeured car for our big day.  I have narrowed my choices down to a classic Bentley, yet am not torn on the appropriate color. 

Between black and white, what do you think is the appropriate and best color of Bentley for my wedding day?  I have seen some of your Bentley rentals on your website, and like them all.   I have been trying to envision both models in our wedding photos, and am still torn.  Any advice would be appreciated.
 

Thanks,
Rodney, Boca Raton, Florida
 

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I am a regular reader and a fan, which may seem surprising because I am a female.  My boyfriend is a “gearhead”, and I began reading your blog in an effort to understand his excitement, and began to love them myself.

 I am writing to you for advice, because his birthday is approaching, and we have been together nearly four years.  I would really love to rock his world with an amazing birthday gift that he would never expect.  I have been toying with the idea of an exotic rental car from you guys, any thoughts on the idea or which model would be the best?  This is really important to me and I have a feeling he would find it unforgettable.

Sincerely,
Amanda, South Beach

We have come a long way since the likes of Mario, Luigi and Pac-Man, (not that we do not still harbor adoration for them) case in point being Gran Turismo 5.  This game features cars so realistic, they seem to be on television.  Chosen to star among others in the new version when it hits stores in a few months?  The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

As one of the three major protégés of Baron de Gunzburg, the others being Bill Blass and Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta is a design force to be reckoned with. Launching his own luxury label in the late 1960's, de la Renta has been awarded, honored, acclaimed and even does philanthropy. Oscar de la Renta holds the key to a classic sophistication that has majorly been lost on generation X. Adored by all, de la Renta is ever-expanding his empire. Encompassing accessories and beyond, his pretty designs cost more then a pretty penny. Take for instance, his new Alligator Bow Clutch which retails for $8,690. The Bow Clutch has a leather lining, inside side pockets and an optional chain strap. The classicism we love from de la Renta for day or night, ladies if you can afford this clutch then go for it. This is one bag that will last forever!

Louis Vuitton has taken to the business of technology and office equipment, for the luxury minded and rich. Not only does the luxury goods company upped its image with a fully functional website and cyber shopping, but now Vuitton is working to make your technology and work space fashionably acceptable. Going beyond LV designed messenger bags and calendar covers, now you can get your own Louis Vuitton USB key in LV accessories department or online.  The USB come with a key ring so you can attach the storage device to your bag like a Louis Vuitton bag charm. The USB is Louis Vuitton engraved and is designed after Vuitton’s iconic Damier Graphite line. The LV USB costs $450 and can only hold 4GB of storage, but therein lies the fault of fashion.

If you're all good with USBs then look to another latest offering, the Louis Vuitton Computer Sleeve. The signature monogram canvas computer cover has a protective foam layer and microfiber lining. Plus, each has a “Louis Vuitton Inventeur” logo inside. The sleeves feature classic LV brass hardware and double zip enclosures for your laptop. Made to be carried under your arm, the glorified computer cases come in both 13 and 15-inch sizes. The cost, probably more then your actual laptop but we wouldn't expect anything less from Louis Vuitton. What's next LV?

Father's day is in a few weeks and 10 Cane has done ya'll a favor. If you don't know what to get dad, go for the 10 Cane personalized gift box.

The best part, you can engrave the gift box for a more intimate touch.  Face it, a bottle of something is the easiest gift to give and unfailingly goes to good use.  What's more, 10 Cane is the best of the best as far as rums go. The  rum is made from pressing the juices out of virgin Trinidadian Sugar cane, the only rum that presses virgin cane.
