X-Mas Magic: 10 Holiday Gifts We'd Want From Jay-Z
Yes, yes, we know that today marks the 43rd year of existence for the man known around the world as Jay-Z. But with December being the season of holiday cheer, it's best to be more aware of those who are in need—namely us! All jokes aside, Shawn Corey Carter has created an institution that doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon.
With that in mind, we decided to skip the meal (see: Birthday Gifts to Jay-Z) and go straight for dessert. As Christmas quickly approaches, we set aside our Grinch-like tendencies to make a yuletide plea to Hov by asking for these 10 Holiday Gifts We'd Want From Jay-Z.

Jules Audemars Selfwinding Watch —
This distinguished timepiece is exemplified by a classically timeless round case, a streamlined bezel and an understated dial. Classy without being too flashy, this would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone (us) to enjoy.
An All-Day Spa Date with Beyonce —
Anyone worth their weight in tassels and ornaments knows just how private the Carters are with their relationship. But this Christmas season, Jay could make a lucky somebody happy by treating them and his lovely bride to a full day at a luxurious spa. Our choice is moot, but as long as the Roc Nation CEO doesn't re-gift an exfoliating experience, he'll remain our favorite not-so Secret Santa.
Riding Shotgun With Jay-Z Around Brooklyn —
New Yorkers lost their cool when they saw Hova catching the subway to make his journey to Barclays. And with the wacky weather Gotham has been experiencing, it seems that no one has to worry about snow flurries ruining the holidays. So what better way to spend the Giving Season than with Gloria's baby boy, riding around, luxury-style, to all his favorite hot spots in Kings County? Don't worry, we have a few more ideas in the next slide.
An Authentic Basquiat Painting —
Rappers are now really big into making sure their art collections are as heavy as their rhymes. Jay-Z is no exception, but it's also no secret that he has quite a few choice pieces spread around the globe. With December 25 quickly approaching, an actual, authentic Jean Michel Basquiat painting would make for a great gift.
A Chance To See A History-Making Rap Cypher —
Jay-Z is notoriously selective with his collaborations. Whether it be Linkin Park, the Notorious B.I.G., or even Snoop Dogg, the former Roc-A-Fella CEO always has a method to his madness when in the booth. A glorious gift that Hova could offer us loyal fans would be a historical moment for hip-hop, as Jay would hop into a cypher with fellow rap attack magicians, Eminem, Black Thought and Mos Def. We'd surely have our iWhatevers ready to document this awesome moment for the culture.
A Sneak Peek Preview Of Jay Electronica's Album —
While the Roc Nation signee has yet to release a full-length album, tracks like "Exhibit C" and "Shiny Suit Theory" do well to keep the anticipation high. For Christmas, all we ask is that you, Jay-Z, the heavyweight champion of the rap world, let us get a healthy listen to Jay-E's "Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn)". We know you have the power to make sure it doesn't leak on the Internets, plus we've been good boys and girls!
Lifetime Season Tickets To Brooklyn Nets Games —
Hova brought sports entertainment back to Kings County. Excitedly, we only believe it to be right to ask for lifetime season tickets to watch the Brooklyn Nets compete for an NBA championship. Don't worry, we don't have to sit next to you and your wife in order to have a great time. The opposite side of the court, floor-side, will suit us just fine.
A Swimming Pool Full of Ace of Spades —
As the Christmas season provides us with some uncharacteristic weather patterns, the adventurer in us would ask Santa Hovi to give us one crazy risk as a gift — a pool full of his Armand de Brignac. Aren't the holidays about being the envy of all your friends and having a good time?! Well, even with this X-mas gift fulfilled, we could experience days of joy while being liquored up enough just in time for the ball to drop on New Year's Eve.
A 2013 Maybach Exelero Coupe —
The perfect gift for any aspiring millionaire, Jay-Z could make a few customizations to this 2013 Maybach Exelero Coupe before sending it to us for the holidays. The one-off test vehicle, originally handled by Stola in Turin, Italy, features a twin-turbocharged V12. It cranks out 700 horsepower and 753 lb-ft of torque. Despite its hefty price tag (which is nothing to the balleristic Jay-Z), we promise not to put it on eBay once a newer model comes out.
A Dinner Date With The Carters & The Obamas —
If all of that other stuff doesn't make you want to send Memphis Bleek and the Young Gunz to our chimneys, our genuine plea for the Christmas season is to dine with you, your wife and The Obamas. Knowing that you got the juice, it would be a great way to cap off 2012, a year full of excitement and intrigue. It would also give us a chance to salute both families for everything they've done to help the country get back on its feet. What do you think, Hova? Are you in or out?
