5 Gourmet Play Kitchens for Kids, Gift Suggestion #13

You buy the best gourmet groceries, and seek out superior knives, pots and pans, and other kitchen hardware for yourself -- shouldn't you purchase the finest gourmet play kitchen for your offspring? Here are four hilariously expensive play kitchens for rich kids, and one priced lower, but less tasteful -- along with some of the advertising copy. The underlying meaning of at least one of the texts is, Get the kids as far away from me and my real kitchen as possible!

"Our gourmet kitchen offers everything budding chefs need. Complete with a sink, icebox and oven, it has a fun retro design with lots of interactive features like adjustable shelves, timers that tick and knobs that turn.
