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.

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.
