    When Sylvie Chantecaille launched her company's most expensive product in 2004, she worried that it wouldn't sell. Chantecaille "biodynamic lifting cream," which claims its special "botox-like" ingredient relaxes facial contractions, was priced at $295 for 1.7 ounces.

    "I thought, 'My god, we have to sell it for that much?' " recalls Ms. Chantecaille, president of the cosmetics company that bears her name.

    Her concern was unfounded. Chantecaille expects to sell 20,000 units of the cream this year and is working on a secret product for next year that will cost significantly more.

  9. I'd go with a combination of the burberry scarf/hat/gloves. It'll be less personal and more professional than the perfume or bag - if thats what you're looking for.

    Specifically, this is one place you can get nice custom perfumes:

    If you're in NYC, they say that they have a boutique in Henry Bendel's at 5th Ave and 56th St.

    If it's a big account, $900 will get you a really nice treat (little 1/4 oz of custom perfume). Those oils are sooo fun and to die for, and they include real scents as used by Cleopatra and other historical characters (thus the price). Just the blending process is fun and special (yes, I have some).

    Um... burberry is what you'd get someone with a $50,000 account. Not a billion dollars.
