DALLAS -- For shoppers seeking a bit—or a lot—of holiday extravagance, the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book unveiled Tuesday is offering options like a $420,000 tour of European flower shows on a private jet and a $250,000 handcrafted mahogany speedboat.
At a cost of $1 million, customers can have a fountain installed at their home. The "his and hers" gift features two underwater robot nozzles that will be programed to make the water "dance" to music. If that’s not in the budget, though, there’s also the calendar paperweight for $25.
The Dallas-based luxury retailer, known for the extravagant and often outrageous "fantasy gifts," said the 85th edition of its catalog has about 600 items, with almost half of them under $250.
"When I look at this book, there’s something for everyone but at the same time you do have the whim and the whimsy of the fantasy," said John E. Koryl, president of Neiman Marcus Direct. "You don’t need to buy everything to be inspired."
