The economy’s not doing terribly well, and that’s not really news. Even so, if you still have champagne tastes and you’re only interested in the finest – or maybe more likely you have champagne tastes and you’re interested in looking at the finest because you can’t afford it, check out Splurge – a blog designed to make it easier for you to find ways to spend large sums of money…or at least wish you could.

The site highlights designer gear, rare wood furniture, gadgets and gear you didn’t know you wanted, and stuff to decorate your home that’s would probably add up to the value of your house.

For example, over at Splurge right now you can check out a winter-camo Nooka watch that’ll run you about $250, a $3400 wine credenza, an ice cube tray shaped like an AK-47 clip that makes ice cubes in the shape of rifle rounds (that’ll only run you about $15), and more.

If you’re interested in any of it, you can click to splurge and order the highlighted item. The blog is brand new, but the gear on the site is no joke – especially not the Alex Ross JSA Annual #1 Cover Original Watercolor. That one’ll run you $25,000.
