For the past 91 years, 110-year-old department store, Neiman Marcus, has produced an annual Christmas Book with its iconic Fantasy Gifts section. This year's list of luxurious, over-the-top ideas fit for the ultra-affluent gift-giver does not disappoint.
From one-of-a-kind luxury goods to travel packages, the catalog features items that cost thousands—and sometimes millions—of dollars. Neiman Marcus donates a portion of every Fantasy Gift purchase to the Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which funds youth art programs across the country, as well as a number of other charitable causes.
