A $150,000 Falconry Kit Is The Most Absurd Item On Neiman Marcus' Christmas Gift List
For those who are not familiar with the department store's annual fantasy gift selection, they range anywhere between $10,000 and almost $2 million, and can be anything from rough diamonds to a work of art.
But by far and away the most ridiculous gift this year was a Bespoke Global Falconry Companion for $150,000.
"Years of apprenticeship and study are behind you," the guide insists. "Your raptor is trained, and you have received the ultimate title of Master Falconer. Now, your new Bespoke Global Falconry Companion is loaded and ready for its inaugural outing."
Every Master Falconer's dream, the kit comes with a leather trunk, walnut case for transporting your falcon, two chairs, a folding table, leather perch, gold perch (for the more discerning falcon, we assume), decanter and cigar carrying case, plus a backgammon board.
