It’s here! This week has finally brought Fall to Houston, and as a bonus the release of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. Known as the kickoff to the holiday shopping season, the book is full of the fantasies to make your Christmas dreams come true. As always, Neiman Marcus never ceases to amaze us, but this year there’s whole new twist.
Consumers have moved away from just collecting things to wanting meaningful, once in a lifetime experiences. What did Neiman Marcus do? They created a fabulous offering of eight fantasy gifts that focus on giving back to charities, while still allowing a bit of indulgence. These offerings include a “dream folly,” benefiting The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a set of dancing fountains, benefiting Water.org, and an international flower show tour, contributing to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Some of the other featured charities that may be special to you include the Double H Ranch, Stone Barns Center, First Book, amfAR, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
However, not all the quintessential luxury gifts have been replaced. There is a posh Hacker-Craft speedboat and a featured Ferrari FF, made exclusively for Neiman Marcus. If you want to leave some hints, but don’t really want to give up the Christmas Book, don’t worry because you can always flip through it online at www.neimanmarcus.com or for all you iPad users, you can always access the book on the “NM Editions” app. So grab a pen and paper, because once again Neiman Marcus has created a spectacular wish list that doesn’t disappoint.
