You Have Your Reasons to Splurge – and We’re Here to Enable!

It’s time to plan a big splurge, that “someday” purchase you’ve been planning. This Saturday is National Splurge Day and Hammacher Schlemmer’s unique gifts are perfect for the occasion.

It could be something for yourself. Or, perhaps you plan to reward your finest, most industrious associates who have always been there for you: partners and craftspeople who help you beyond measure and compensation. We are here to be the enabler, searching the world to find the most amazing unique gifts that make others green with envy.

This one-of-a-kind digital grand piano derives its sleek design from the graceful yet powerful form of the Orcinus orca. Handmade in the U.K. to suit individual preference, each instrument is crafted using components from Kluge and Renner, providers of the world’s best piano mechanics. The 88 Ivoplast and ebony keys provide the same balanced hammer action as a concert grand, while beneath its dorsal fin-like lid, a 500-tone Roland audio processor suffuses each note with realistic acoustic character and nuance. This is a splurge worthy of the world’s greatest pianists.

Maybe your splurging daydreams lean toward a vintage sports car replica. This 1:2 scale gas-powered version of the iconic Jaguar XK120 unleashes adults to careen and cruise as if driving the real thing. Faithful to the details of the 1948 original—sweeping rounded fenders, long hood and tapered grille—this version seats its driver within a padded leather aircraft-style cockpit. The interior includes a wood-rimmed aluminum steering wheel and dashboard, while the exterior can be finished in any color, including the classic glossy British Racing Green of yesteryear.

Here’s a splurge that makes a splash – literally. This two-person submarine can descend to a depth of 1,000 feet. Providing access to underwater features such as coral reefs, shipwrecks and the ocean floor, a completely transparent, climate-controlled acrylic pressure sphere keeps explorers safe while dipping even into the mesopelagic zone, offering a chance to see exotic, bioluminescent species. With a maximum speed of three knots, it provides up to six hours of continuous undersea adventure.

Splurging is all relative and unique to each individual. If your dreams of a splurge revolve around an extra hour of sleep or a decadent dessert, that’s a good thing, too. But if you’re ready for that one big unique gift to yourself, we’re always here to help.
