Ten Outrageous Gifts from Neiman Marcus’s Christmas Book
A million-dollar "dancing" water fountain might sound like an excessive gift to our peasanty, poor-person ears, but for shoppers of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, the notoriously extravagant catalog of outlandish gifts for people who have everything, that's just another option for Cousin Vic this year. Join us for a glimpse into Santa's bag for the rich and ostentatious.
Leopard-Dyed Rabbit Throw $1,475
Because deciding between rabbit fur and leopard skin at lounge time is a burden no one should bear.
Seven Backhanded Presents You Shouldn't Give
Dancing Fountains $1,000,000
The catalog says this fountain will delight viewers with its amazing robot nozzles that whirl, twirl, and sweep-sometimes in unison. We guess that's worth a million dollars if you're tired of the lame water that you usually see around your house that does nothing except flow from faucets to drains with nary a dance in between.
Mahogany Speedboat $250,000
This solid mahogany, twenty-seven foot speedboat comes with a GPS system, a monogrammed humidor, and whatever name you choose inscribed across the hull in twenty-three-karat gold leafing, giving you true reason to scream, "Everybody look at me cuz I'm sailing on a boat!"
A Holiday Gift Flowchart for Daters
Day on a Farm $9,500
You know you're filthy rich when you're willing to pay a farm $10,000 to let you pick up a trowel and harvest your own meal.
Custom-Built Library $125,000
If you happen to have a spare room in your home that's doing nothing but providing shelter for that pesky stack of money-$125,000 to be exact-then gift yourself with this bespoke library by Assouline. The publisher will select objects d'art, framed prints, and custom carpet to convince everyone in your friend group and family that you're intellectually superior.
Twelve Gifts for the Coolest Person You Know
International Flower Show Tour $420,000
Stop and smell the roses plus every other flower that exists with this weeklong tour of Europe to visit the flower capitals of the world. You and nine of your closest friends will be staying in plush hotels in Switzerland, Greece, France, and London while you brush up your botany. The rest of us will stay home with our scratch-n-sniffs.
