The perfect gift for someone who has everything, is to give them themselves... or atleast a wax replica. For $27,000, you can get a custom Madam Tussauds wax sculpture made of yourself. I want one of those describes the service, "There is no clearer indication that you've "made it" than being 'done' by Madame Tussauds, but we can't all be famous. Fortunately that's no longer necessary, now you can commission their brilliant wax artists to immortalise you. You don't have to be famous, or even revered, but you do need to be minted. Setting you back a cool £150,000 you will have an entourage (oops, we mean team) of twenty people lavishing you and your sculpture with attention for four whole months. You heard us correctly, four months. This is how long it takes to get the perfect detail, to reflect your exact measurements, to capture your expression and to match your hair and eye colour to achieve the 'Version II' of you."
