Now that Halloween is over, we can start thinking about Christmas shopping. Any purchase inspired from this luxury website will definitely put you in his good books. The Bond Lifestyle website was founded in October 2005 by Remmert van Braam, in order to make an informational website about the products and brands that are used by the fictional character James Bond in movies and books. Since then, the site has become the second most visited Bond website in the world. (http://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com)
