DALLAS (AP) – Holiday shoppers with a limitless budget and taste for opulence could spend $425,000 for a trip to the Academy Awards.

That’s one of the lavish items included in the annual Christmas Book by Neiman Marcus, released Tuesday.

The book includes 10 “fantasy gifts.” The “his and hers” gift is a “quadski,” described as a cross between an ATV and a personal watercraft, traveling on land and water. They sell for $50,000 each.

The book’s more pedestrian fare includes a hand-enameled tiger’s head on marble pedestal for $6,500.

Tuesday’s publication from the Dallas-based luxury retailer is the 88th edition.
