Present over 100 K that is not a watch, car or art - any suggestions?

Scrape together another $100k and buy a return ticket on Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic's sub-orbital flight.

An all expense paid bespoke wardrobe spending spree:

In my case, it would be:

Naples for Ambrosi pants
Florence for Liverano & Liverano bespoke suiting; Hidetaka Fukaya, Stefano Bemer and Roberto Ugolini bespoke shoes; and bespoke shirting and ties from Tie your Tie
Tokyo for Ginza Tailor bespoke suiting
Saville Row for A&S sports jacket and Norton & Sons suiting
Paris for Charvet shirting and Arnys overcoat, ties and umbrella
Northampton for G&G bespoke shoes

Any left over money can be spent on a high end point and shoot camera plus 3 day "how to photograph yourself for WAYWT" tutorial with Phat Guido in Sydney

Thank you everyone for the entertaining as well as for the serious suggestions.
I will let you know what the result is (if there will be one).

If you are spending 100k, you want the item to retain some sort of value. Thus, it is difficult not to spend it on a Patek or some art work.

Threads like this indicate there are way too many trust-fund babies in this country wiling away their extra cash. I mean if you really need an internet forum to figure out what to do with 100k, you're really messed up and must have a fairly docile brain to boot. I've always wondered too about the occasional 20 somethings who post here with their dozens of multiple-thousand dollar suits... where do they get the cash?

I see your point, but I understand asking on a forum like this too. I usually have a hard enough time choosing gifts for family or friends.

True, it seems like the kind of a question a guy from the middle or far east would ask

Joe, is that you? I told you to stop talking about that ****. P.S. - don't forget to pick up the ski masks and phenobarbital.

Let's see, for $100k you want to get something that will last, something that will retain it's value, and something that is easy to run away with when the feds come calling. It should be easy to fit in a body cavity. I'd go with a flawless diamond in the 4 carat range. My cousin Shelly in Amsterdam can help you out with that . . . .

A fast boat is a good option too - not easy to hide, but make fleeing easier. A 38' 2000 Fountain Lightning will cost you about $95,000. Use the remaining $5,000 to have it painted flat black.
