Los Angeles ? Can’t think of the perfect stocking stuffer for those well-heeled friends on your Christmas list this year?

What about a customized jet for $70 million? Or a Formula One supercar? Or a $80 million submarine?

Those are some of the suggestions from the Robb Report and the duPont Registry, two publications who cater to folks not too concerned about economic downturns.

“I think a lot of our readers haven’t really been impacted by the economy slowdown. They are recession-resistant,” said Brett Anderson, senior vice president and editorial director for the Robb Report.

The submarine is one suggestion from the Robb Report, which comes up each Christmastime with a list of 21 perfect gifts for its money-is-no-object readers.

The duPont Registry’s holiday gift catalog also features highbrow stocking stuffers: A $450,000 Bentley Estate Station Wagon is described as “the ultimate family vehicle for the truly refined lifestyle.” A McLaren Formula One supercar goes for about $1.5 million.

Tom duPont, chairman of St. Petersburg, Fla.-based duPont Publishing, said the duPont Registry items were designed to impress. But they also reflect America’s trend with staying home.

The duPont Registry's holiday gift catalog features gift ideas for those with a lot of disposable income, including a 50,000 Bentley Estate Station Wagon.

“Along with the nesting there is nesting going on in the garage,” duPont said this week. “People with resources are buying classic and luxury cars ” the everyday car, the weekend car and the commuter car.”

The duPont Registry and Robb Report publications definitely aren’t for the Chia Pet crowd. The average annual income of a Robb Report reader is $800,000, with an average net worth of $4.9 million.

Anderson said there had been a subtle attitude in the buying habits of the rich because of the dot-com bust and stock market slide. Conspicuous consumption is seen as tasteless by some.

“People are more interested in discreet luxury,” Anderson said.
