Of course, inflation is out of control, and yes, people are still struggling financially because of the pandemic, but Neiman Marcus is once again rolling out his collection of ridiculously priced holiday gifts.
This is the 95th edition of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. It all started in 1959, when co-founder Stanley Marcus came up with the idea of ​​selling a steer to customers, which could be delivered alive or as steaks. He grew to include motorcycles designed by Keanu Reeves, private planes, and sumptuous New Year’s Eve in subsequent editions.
This year’s entry weighs 200 pages, and some of the articles are reasonably priced (by Neiman Marcus’ standards). Turn to page 76, however, and that’s when the fantastic freebies start showing up – for people who have way too much money in their bank accounts.
The retailer unveiled this year’s giveaways at a Paramount lot celebrity event in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Here are some of the more outrageous gift suggestions.
What’s in 2021 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book?
A giant honking diamond
If you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury this year, the Dallas-based retailer is offering a 30.86-carat heart-shaped diamond. At $ 6.1 million, this is this year’s most expensive item Christmas book. The buyer will be able to name the stone with the Institute of Gemmology, linking it to his family for eternity.
Host a party at the Apollo Theater
Gather 20 of your friends and throw a private Roaring Twenties-themed party on stage at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. The price of the shindig is only $ 395,000.
A treasure hunt
Handbag retailer Fashionphile offers a three-part scavenger hunt that involves a $ 100,000 shopping spree with Fashion and Lifestyle Director Neiman Marcus, as well as five vintage handbags selected with CEO by Fashionphile. It will cost you $ 345,000.
Custom hummer
If you’re hoping to get your hands on a fully electric Hummer, you can either follow Jim Cramer’s example and sell your Ethereum holdings to buy one, or give Neiman Marcus $ 285,000. In addition to the car, you’ll have VIP access for two to the owner’s skybox at the 2022 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction and have a chance to drop the hammer.
Fantastic trips
There are a few unforgettable trips to choose from this year. The first, priced at $ 235,000, will take you on a three-day luxury ski trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where you’ll spend a day on the slopes with Olympian Lindsey Vonn.
Do you prefer warmer weather? Maybe a trip to Portugal is more your speed. There, you can design your own tableware and take home a personalized set for $ 80,000.
And if your vacation budget is tight, it will only cost you $ 35,000 for a family trip to London, where your child can have a personalized book written about them by author Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara.
