So while most Americans are watching their wallets this holiday season, a lucky few will turn to luxury retailer Neiman Marcus to fill their Christmas wish-lists.
Yes, folks the 2008 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book arrived this week and it did not disappoint.
You'd like Santa to bring you a limited-edition BMW? It’s yours for just $160,000. Maybe you'd prefer your own three-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, PLUS the chance to play the first round on your brand new course with Mr. Nicklaus himself? Fork over a million bucks and it's all yours. Or perhaps you’ve been thinking that life-size Lego sculptures of you and your significant other would look cool flanking your fireplace. You're in luck. They’re in Neiman's Christmas Book at the bargain price of just $60,000 each.
Ginger Reeder, a VP at Neiman Marcus pointed out that Neiman's wealthy customers aren't affected very much by the economy, and that "aspirational shoppers" (that would be the rest of us) are yearning for touches of luxury.
No kidding.
This year Neiman Marcus is offering a bonus for those is us not in the market for a day with Jack Nicklaus: a smaller catalog that will feature gifts priced under $300.00.
We anxiously await the arrival of Neiman’s Christmas Book – what will they come up with to top last year? And they always do. We’re glad that Neiman Marcus isn’t moving its Christmas Book far from its roots – it’s been a holiday tradition since 1926. We may never get our own private island, but we sure can dream, can’t we?
