The famously bizarre GOOP gift guide is out. Featured alongside luxury trips to space and a $250 brass fire extinguisher is a $1,350 “Restraining Arts Kit.”

Featuring leather wrist and ankle cuffs, matching straps to tie the wearer down, and a leather-covered spanking paddle, the Restraining Arts Kit is a very basic, although admittedly high quality, starter BDSM kit. For context, a similar set that also includes a gag and a blindfold sells for around $78 (£60) from British retailer Anne Summers.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop offering BDSM starter kit for &1,350. Better deal at Home Depot for duck tape and zip ties.

You can find better ones on Amazon for $20.00 😹

Seriously @Goop & @GwynethPaltrow – $1,300 for a beginners #BDSM Kit? You can get the same thing from @Stockroom_com for a 10th of the price and the quality will be equal to or better. #RipOff https://t.co/LFhpTwEFpu

People are astonished and vaguely horrified by what the new age one percent will spend their money on.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Restraining Arts Kit" – The BDSM kit listed on Goop's Holiday Gift Guides. For when you're feeling frisky, but also in the mood to spend all your rent money.— Harry O' Neal (@harryo1037) November 18, 2019
THIS KILLED ME. Restraining Arts Kit.

Leave it to a privileged, rich celebrity to sale a $1,350 BDSM kit on their website. That the average person couldn’t afford anyway.
Could #GwynethPaltrow be any more annoying?

I think these two items really sum up the goop brand – a $100 manila folder and BDSM restraint tape pic.twitter.com/uMwQsy2fNC

There were some unkind suggestions, with Twitter user Jason Hillman referencing Paltrow and Chris Martin’s much-mocked “conscious uncoupling“.
#Goop is now offering BDSM kits.
It consists of two restraints and a recording of #GwynethPaltrow explaining her divorce.

Ha!…"try conscientiously uncoupling" from THAT, bad boy!…😏

However, given that the kit is apparently selling out already, it’s probably Gwyneth who is left laughing.
