Beyonce and Jay-Z couldn't attend Kim Kardashian's baby shower celebration, but they sent a gift. "Beyonce and Jay-Z's gift couldn't be outdone, a £9,000 [about $13,700] Swarovski crystal-studded high chair, created by Carla Monchen," a source told Sunday's Mirror in the U.K. "They had a similar one due to their daughter Blue Ivy." The Carla Monchen-designed Icansit is a contemporary baby chair that is embellished with hundreds of Swarovski crystals on its footrest and table. It will come in either black or white, but appears like it will be a pain to completely clean once splattered with mushy baby food. The U.K. paper also reports that Beyonce's bestie Gwenyth Paltrow was also invited to Kardashian's baby shower celebration, but didn't attend.
In lieu of her presence, the Oscar-winning actress sent out a less expensive gift: a £350 Vitamix blender and a 21-day cleanse to help Kardashian get back into shape after giving birth. (They share exactly the same personal trainer.) It is thought that Beyonce couldn't ensure it is to the infant shower as a result of her touring schedule, while Paltrow doesn't really know Kim that well. Kim Kardashian and her baby daddy Kanye West are expecting a woman this July.
