The multi-million dollar Christmas list of Neiman Marcus, which also delivers its products to Slovenia, is back and this time it is more extravagant than ever before. It has incredible gifts that only the richest can afford, and here are gifts that will make your head hurt.
Neiman Marcus has released its Christmas catalog Christmas Book 2018, where they are selected and proposed every year gifts from a luxury department store. One of the main features of this catalog is Fantasy Gift category, where billionaires, who already have everything anyway, can choose unique luxury items, travel and experience packages, which of course cost several thousand US dollars or several million US dollars.
For all its decadence, Neiman Marcus is careful to emphasize its own philanthropic efforts. Between 10 and 50 thousand dollars from each purchase of gifts from the Fantasy Gift category is donated to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which funds arts programs across the US.
