Each year Evian releases a designer bottle to highlight its commitment to “chic sophistication.” 2007’s splurge of choice was by Christian Lacroix; now meet Jean Paul Gaultier’s Pret-a-Porter 2009 edition. Get it tout seule or in big-ass boxes of 12 for just $118. It’s a steal!

Can’t afford it? No worries. To maximize the likelihood of cashflow from every frivolous spender alive, Evian’s got a slew of other appetite-slicking vessels that will make dehydrated friends writhe with envy, even while smirking under their Botox.

They that brought you $10 facial spray (now sponsor-friendly!) and bottled water for children also debuted the regal Palace bottle, complete with its own metal pourer and coaster. (Comes in packs of 12. Coaster, pourer and self-esteem sold separately.)

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
