Gold-plated pacifiers
Traders say the bling baby bottles are not new but are also not widespread.
There are also Italian-gold-plated pacifiers - the price ranging $93 and $173. But unlike the bottles, the pacifiers are in high demand due to their cheap price. They are usually gifted to newborn babies.
