Neiman Marcus unveiled its 2019 Christmas Book, a curated collection of 800 holiday gift ideas, including eight ultra-luxe "Fantasy Gifts" with price tags that hit upwards of $700,000.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts, which include hands-on excursions like customizing your own pair of Christian Louboutins in Paris and sitting front row at New York Fashion Week.
We took a look at the Fantasy Gifts and some of the most expensive items from the Christmas Book below.
The luxury department store just unveiled the 60th edition of its Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts, part of its annual Christmas Book that essentially serves as a guide to holiday shopping for the one percent. If you've got just shy of a million dollars squirreled away for the perfect present, then Neiman Marcus has got you covered, whether you're looking for a limited-edition Aston Martin car designed by Daniel Craig, a $70,000 multi-story "pet paradise," or a vending machine full of Moët champagne.
Neiman Marcus has published its Christmas Book since 1926, in what was then a 16-page booklet designed as a Christmas card for the department store's top customers. In recent years, it has become known for its opulent, ostentatious gifts.
