Neiman Marcus has just reminded us that the holidays are soon approaching with its famous annual Christmas book featuring luxe clothing, accessories, and our favorite, "fantasy gifts." Given, we're not in the market for about 90 percent of the items in the catalog, but it doesn't hurt to look, and perhaps dream a little. That said, we culled the wildest, most covetable items we'd like to receive from the catalog. For the ultimate fashion hound, how about a gorgeous fur Fendi bag retailing at about $6,300 or a David Yurman necklace for $39,000? Meanwhile, there's a hand-crafted speedboat available for the sea lover and a personalized Stone Barns Farms day trip package — imagine yourself noshing on the freshest fruits and veggies prepared by chef and kitchen director Adam Kaye — for the ultimate foodie. But wait, there's more where that came from. Just click the slideshow to see our top 10 list and why they're so amazing, crazy, and downright cool.
It's time to start scouting for deals and prepping for holiday travel (props to you if you've already done this!), before the prices start rising. Don't book your trip at the last minute, because the holidays are prime travel season, which means sky-high costs for airlines, car rentals, and hotels. Read on to find out the best ways to save on your upcoming holiday trip.
