The most expensive item in Neiman Marcus’ 2018 Christmas catalog is…
Neiman Marcus’ annual Christmas Book catalog — now in its 92nd year — is famous for offering a selection of over-the-top, outrageously priced offerings and this year is no exception.
The most expensive item in the 2018 book is a one-of-kind, 74-ft. yacht described as “the largest solar-powered yacht in the world.” With a chic interior inspired by Neiman Marcus fashion director Ken Downing, the cruiser sleeps up to 12 and boasts a fully functional kitchen, a state-of-the-art music and entertainment system, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and ample closet space ( the gift includes a Neiman Marcus shopping spree). Price tag: A cool $7.1 million.
The yacht is part of the catalog’s “Fantasy Gifts” section, which is heavy on experiences, ranging from a $630,000 luxury trip to India, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives with custom travel company Black Tomato to the chance to become a secret agent via a three-day espionage adventure organized by The Invictus Experience ($315,000) to a tour of all four tennis majors with 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens ($555,000). The price of many of the fantasy gifts includes a donation to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which brings art-enriching experiences to children nationwide.
While the fantasy gifts garner all the attention, the Neiman Marcus holiday catalog actually features merchandise across a broad range of categories and price points. Nearly half of the featured 823 gifts are under $250, the company pointed out.
