All I want for Christmas is... an airplane-seat-sized Saks Fifth Avenue duvet, Polaris gel pillow and business-class amenity kit? You too can make these items yours — and you don't even have to steal them from the plane!

Apparently due to popular demand, the airline has made a bunch of Polaris-branded stuff available through the United Shop, and the prices are actually reasonable.

I'll take one million, please.

Here are some of the highlights:

Then there are some more... unusual... items, that you won't actually find on a United plane, including Polaris Cufflinks (?), Scented Soap and a Travel Candle.

All joking aside, I don't actually need any of these things (just so we're clear, mom!), but I do already have a Saks duvet and could easily see spending 60 bucks on that. I've actually purchased other gifts from the United Shop in the past — including a model A320 Friend Ship — and I've found all of the prices to be surprisingly reasonable. I'm sure quite a few frequent flyers will be pleased to find Polaris items available there, too.
