The 21st century is undoubtedly the age of celebrity. You can't go anywhere without tripping over someone who's featured in Heat magazine. This obsession isn't an entirely new phenomenon though. Looking back over the last 100 years shows up plenty of evidence of the beginnings of A-list culture.
And there behaviour wasn't that much different either. Extravagant and outlandish as we've come to expect and nowhere more so than in their buying and receiving of gifts...
We pulled out our fine tooth comb and dived headlong into the celebrity history of gift giving to see what we could unearth and the answer? Quite a lot. It seems that the act of buying weird and wonderful gifts has been something of a staple for the rich and famous.
Whether it's Elvis buying pooches for everyone and their mum or Justin Bieber receiving cars we've charted it on our infographic, Celebrity Gifts: A Timeline.
This infographic was put together by Find Me A Gift, the online home of great gifts. To view the original version of the infographic click here.
