And the award goes to …

	Bar Code Set the standards high with a gold bar doorstop ($99) that doubles as a paperweight. Oh, and FYI: It’s made out of aluminum.
	Golden Delicious Sarah Magid’s treats are worth their weight in, well, you get the picture. Whip them up at home following the recipe in the pastry chef’s book ($19).
	Spoon-Fed Why eat from a silver spoon when you can go for the gold? This modern flatware ($60) from Alessi will let people know your food is top-notch.
	Wellie Deserved Thanks to Hunter, there’s no reason to sacrifice style on rainy days. Gold boots (£40) mean you can splish splash regally in the next torrential downpour.
	Golden Girl Stay in the fashion loop with Nicole Romano’s statement-piece necklace ($264) that’s just the right amount of rock ’n’ roll.
