It’s that time of year again: time for Neiman Marcus to say, “Recession? What recession?” and urge you to purchase a $250,000 mahogany speedboat for your beloved this Christmas. Yes, the Christmas Book was unveiled yesterday. To really get into the holiday spirit, read on for the highlights, via AP:
- $1 million: A cool mil will get you a fountain, apparently with water that dances to music, installed in your home.
- $420,000: Private jet tour of European flower shows.
- $395,000: The aforementioned silver-gray ("grigio caldo") Ferrari FF is four-wheel-drive, can hit 200mph, and most importantly, comes with a matching leather luggage set.
- $125,000: A custom-built library—in your home, on your boat, in your private plane, or anywhere you’d like—with 250 books from publishing house Assouline.
- $45,000: A piece of art, made from black rubber, by artist Tom Burr. And it’s practical: It doubles as a ping-pong table.
- $5,000: A scotch tasting for you and 20 of your nearest and dearest at Johnnie Walker, bagpipe player included.
- $25: Calendar paperweight.
