Gold toilet
Manufactured by Hang Fung Gold Technology, a company based in Hong Kong, this 24k solid gold toilet is now valued at around $37 million.
The idea is said to have been inspired by the Soviet leader, Vladimir Lenin, who promised supporters of the communist revolution that public toilets would be made of gold.
Gold toilet paper
Your golden throne wouldn’t be complete without a $1.3 million dollar roll of solid 24k gold toilet paper. Manufactured in Australia and sold by a company called Toilet Paper Man, this is currently the most expensive toilet paper in the world.

Gold tricycle
If the slinky wasn’t good enough for your kid, this gold tricycle certainly won’t disappoint. Not that most kids would be able to tell the difference between solid 24k gold and carbon steel…
Gold facial
Supposedly, this 24k solid gold facial treatment is great for improving blood circulation, opening pores and removing toxins from the skin. Talk about getting treated like royalty! Cleopatra is said to have used gold as a regular part of her skin care regimen. The cost is $1000.
Gold #2 pencils
Impress your classmates with your study bling. Created by Korean designer Daisung Kim, you can buy one of these flashy 24k gold layered #2 pencils for only $20.

Gold earphones

Gold Lamborghini
Okay, so maybe a Lambo isn’t exactly an “everyday item”, but this is worth a mention. Back in 2012, Dubai’s Lamborghini showroom unveiled the first-ever gold, platinum and diamond-encrusted Lambo. The car is covered in thin sheets of solid 24k gold around the exterior with a gold-laden interior. The car, which was eight times smaller than a regular Lamborghini, was priced at $7.8 million.
