A Christmas gift for a person with everything?

Last minute Christmas ideas needed?

Why not give your loved one a Christmas experience they’ll never forget? Here some amazing things we have for rent on rentoid.com which fit the bill. Admittedly some amazing prices too - but we did say unforgetable!!

Hire a private jet - $14,000       

Rent a Ferrari for the day $1600    

Rent a Porsche for the day $ 750      

Rent a ‘private island’ - $3000 a night           

A hot air balloon ride - $345         

Just click the photos to check them out.

Make this Christmas something ‘really special’…

If you like to travel in style, look no further than rentoid.com

For the small price tag of $14,000 you can rent a learjet 45 for a one way trip between Melbourne and Sydney. A return trip is $27,405.

If the price seems a bit much, the good news is it seats 8 in pure comfort. It really is plausible when you consider it’s only $1750 per person.

It might just make for an unforgettable bucks party, the best ever family celebration or corporate reward or prize which is something your employee will actually talk about - you want to be an employer of choice right?     

The flight comes with everything you’d expect from a discreet airport entrance , private pre-flight guest lounge, highest safety standards, complimentary on board refreshments, and yes at this price the flights are fully flexible!

Or maybe you just want to give a loved one with everything, a gift to remember this Christmas!

(and yes, it’s the most expensive item listed on rentoid.com)

You’ve probably heard about the various companies which have popped up who specilize in hiring out high end handbags - Hermes, Fendi, Chanel…

In fact here’s a couple of links to them:

www.lovemeandleaveme.com (from Australia)

www.bagborrowsteal.com (from the USA)

for the above businesses you need to be a ‘paying member’ to get your hands on one of their swish handbags. That is, they don’t do one off’s.

But maybe you just need such a handbag for one evening, or even have an expensive handbag your sick of…..

We’ll, we’d love to have you list it on rentoid. You can rent out your handbag right here on rentoid.com and make some extra cash out of this idle asset. You can find a handbag to rent, right here on rentoid.

And as always if we havn’t got the handbag you need, we’ll find it for you through our member network.

Dear rentoid members,

OK, we’ll admit it, we probably have one of the more useful applicaitons on facebook, but it’s also probably one of the most ‘boring’. It’s called “Where did my money go?” and is an idle asset calculator. We blogged about it here.

In short, we got it wrong. We’ve been told it needs to be more ‘useless’ - or in truth more fun. So it’s with this blog entry that we commit to changing it over the weekend. So watch this space for a new improved “Where did my money go?” which is much more social and fun to have a play with.

With love,

the rentoid team.

Here’s an article which appeared in the Herald Sun, Australia’s largest circulation newspaper. Click on the Herald Sun Logo to read it.

We think it’s a pretty cool write up and importantly explains our philosophy at rentoid.com

Ok, here’s your chance to get a real collectors item. The rentoid rapper, a foolish person from the rentoid.com office has offered up his ‘BEAT STREET’ breakdancing mat for Auction on ebay. Which was the key prop from the first ever rentoid advertisement….

Click here to check the auction out and get in on the fun!

Today we launched our facebook app on rentoid.  It’s called:

“Where did my money go?”          

We think it’s pretty cool, mainly becuase it does what it says. It helps us find out what we’ve spent our hard earned on. In the process it calculates the value of our “idle assets”.

Depending on the value of your idle assets in each ‘category’ it awards ‘way cool’ gift icons which can be shared with friends, as can the value of all your stuff. Which looks like this…

Pretty cool !

Nearly everything we own, we only use temporarily. Nearly everything we need, we need only temporarily….

That’s why rentoid is here !

Just in case you have any doubts,we thought we’d provide a list just so you can see we’re an honest bunch here at rentoid.com

You get the picture… The point is other people need your stuff! They need your stuff often at the times you don’t. We can’t use everything at once.

All this stuff is an asset waiting to be unlocked.

rentoid.com - unlock your idle assets!

We’ll be launching a facebook app for rentoid later this week.

We’ll provide a link here so you can share it with all your friends. we’ll just say that it is useful and you can earn cool gifts to share with your friends. Watch this space.
