About this list:

I'm bummed at all the crap people are posting on here for V-day gifts. Just because it's red or heart-shaped doesn't mean it's a great gift! Here are some gifts that truly are unique, memorable, hip or collectible. No crappy gold-filled jewelry or heart soaps on here. Just the good stuff.

Qualifications:

I've been in love. A lot.

Nikola Designs G3 Carbon Fiber Attaché Case

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This sleek G3 carbon Fiber Briefcase from Nikola Design & Technologies Inc. uses materials more commonly seen in the aerospace industry and the world of F1 motorsports racing. Chief designer, Nikola Knezevic chose to integrate CFRP, otherwise known as the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, in the making of this attaché case.

The high weight-to-strength ratio of this carbon composite makes the briefcase light yet sturdy. Compared to an aluminium case, the G3 attaché is only about half as light. Each case also comes with a plate engraved with the owner’s name and serial number to add a personal touch.

The price ? almost 400,000 yen or US$3,800.00
