Goop's Holiday Gift Guide Is Back, and More Insane Than Ever
*By Samantha Errico*
Gwyneth Paltrow's famously aspirational wellness site Goop has published its holiday shopping list ー and it includes an entire Spanish village.
Goop is staying true to its extravagant identity with an extensive holiday [gift guide](https://shop.goop.com/shop/collection/the-2018-goop-gift-guides) listing items that range from a marble dumbbell to a balloon expedition over Mount Everest.
The brand is famous for its exorbitant prices ー and this holiday season fits the trend. Shoppers can pick from 12 specialized guides, filtered by type of gift-getter ー one for "the host," "the one-step-aheader," and "the traveler," to name a few.
Shoppers can purchase an electric zero-emissions yacht and king-size 24k gold rolling papers for their loved ones who favor the outrageous. But the crown jewel of the collection is an entire Spanish village with a price tag just shy of $173,000. Yes, an entire village.
Paltrow's high-end lifestyle brand isn't just making headlines for gift guides, the company [reportedly] (https://wwd.com/business-news/media/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-tv-show-said-heading-to-netflix-1202909556/) will produce a "wellness-oriented" TV series for Netflix ($NFLX), according to WWD. Goop has yet to make an official announcement confirming the rumors.

President Donald Trump says a deal struck by Netflix last week to buy Warner Bros. Discovery “could be a problem” because of the size of the combined market share. The Republican president says he will be involved in the decision about whether federal regulators should approve the deal. Trump commented Sunday when he was asked about the deal as he walked the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Honors. The $72 billion deal would bring together two of the biggest players in television and film and potentially reshape the entertainment industry.
Disney's changes to a program for disabled visitors are facing challenges in federal court and through a shareholder proposal. The Disability Access Service program, which allows disabled visitors to skip long lines, was overhauled last year. Disney now mostly limits the program to those with developmental disabilities like autism who have difficulty waiting in lines. The changes have sparked criticism from some disability advocates. A shareholder proposal submitted by disability advocates calls for an independent review of Disney's disability policies. Disney plans to block this proposal, claiming it's misleading. It's the latest struggle by Disney to accommodate disabled visitors while stopping past abuses by some theme park guests.
