The joy of getting everything you wanted for Christmas is officially over and now it's time for the dreaded holiday cleanup. It's also time for the wants of a new wishlist to settle in. A new year means there are a ton of new things to shamelessly want, things that most of us will never be able to afford. Yay, America!

Here are 10 things you didn’t know you needed but know you definitely can’t afford (if with friends, click the picture to "purchase" and show off your elitist taste):

1. Deep Space Fighter Bed: Insomnia got you down? Let this Deep Space Fighter Bed lift you up! Dreams of cruising through the nebulas will have you feeling rested... or at least way cooler. Starting at $6,000, you may feel like you're flying a little too close to the sun when it comes time to pay.

2. Brew Cave Walk-In Cooler: Do away with that classless ice chest and upgrade your beer maintaining practices. The Brew Cave Walk-In Cooler screams class! It holds 30 cases of beer, kegs and will keep it all "Rocky Mountain" cold too. Too bad it's a whopping $6,749! Looks like it's warm beer for you again this year.

3. Interactive Pool Table: Here in the 21st Century, nobody gives a flying monkey's tail about anything that isn’t completely interactive. And that goes for YOU, Billiards and other assorted table games! Sell your car and take your pool games to the next level with the Interactive Pool Table ($25,000). Walking to work is in-line with your New Year's Resolution to workout more anyway.

4. Functional Nintendo Controller Coffee Table: Tired of losing your wireless video game controllers? Are you a firm believer in functional/handsome furniture? Well the Functional Nintendo Controller Coffee Table might be just what you need! Plug in, sit back and try not to knock over the Mountain Dew as you mash in this tables' rich mahogany buttons. Only $3,500!

5. Crystal Clear Kayak: To move forward in life, you must be aware of what’s behind you. And apparently, to stay afloat in water, you must see what’s… below you? The Crystal Clear Kayak makes your outdoor intentions completely see-through! Just don’t expect any privacy from the fishes. The kayak is out of stock on Amazon right now, but normally goes for over $2,200.

6. Action Figure of Yourself: Why play with a Batman action figure when you can play with yourself? Er... Moving on.

7. Bulletproof Suit: If you were able to afford everything on this list and still have some dough left over, you’d definitely want to invest in a $20,000 Bulletproof Suit for protection. The biggest downside to getting shot in a Bulletproof Suit (besides getting shot, duh): the tailor bill.

8. World’s Largest Scrabble Game: The older you get, naturally the more you want to see. The only problem is the less you’re able to see! “Time” has the WORST sense of humor. Outsmart that smartass “time” with the World’s Largest Scrabble Game and outsmart your smartass "family" with your skills. XXL triple word score, woop woop! 

9. Feel Seating System: The Feel Seating System is notorious for being unimaginably comfortable. Google has at least one, ABC News does too. You may also recognize the Feel Seating System from the comedy Get Him to the Greek. Either way, this nearly $8,000 comfort is something we still won't know by the end of 2014.

10. Blackhawk Secretary: Don’t just bring your work HOME with you… bring it EVERYWHERE! The Blackhawk Secretary makes it possible to tote your computer and most classified files with you in a classy metal case. Practical? Nope. Freakin' awesome? Yep!
