Goop is selling an expensive ‘restraining arts’ BDSM kit
‘Better deal at Home Depot for duct tape and zip ties.’
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.

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.

"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.
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.
— Jason Hillman (@ohthehillmanity) November 18, 2019
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.
help. i now know that goop is selling this beginner bdsm kit for $1350 because of @MarlowNYC. also there is only 1 left bc apparently people are still so dumb and desperate to let gwyneth paltrow rob them. pic.twitter.com/I1JRwBRJs4
