The best things in life are free. And the other best things in life are really, really lavish. And no one knows that better than Neiman Marcus. For 65 years, the integrated luxury retailer has delivered holiday magic in the form of Fantasy Gifts, exclusive experiences and one-of-a-kind treasures, as part of its iconic Christmas Book and seasonal campaign: A Neiman’s Fantasy.
This year, the seven ultra luxe gifts were presented at an exclusive launch event in L.A. on Oct. 15, attended by industry leaders, fashion insiders and famous faces like Allison Janey, Kathryn Hahn, Samuel Arnold, Molly Gordon and China Chow. Like last year’s event at the Sunset Tower, Neiman Marcus’ president Ryan Ross and chief brand officer Nabil Aliffi revealed the glamorous offerings.

The showstopper, going for $1.9 million, is a rare piece of world history: a striking 18th century calèche that belonged to the Spanish royal family.

Fitoussi, Cutter, Valérie Messika of Messika fine jewelry and Jana Matheson, Chief Creative Officer of Judith Leiber Couture, also joined in the Oct. 15 reveal and celebration at The United Theater on Broadway. As always, a portion of Fantasy Gift proceeds will be donated to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, which partners with nonprofit organizations to help bring enriching arts experiences to youth.
The retailer also curates an annual gift guide filled with fashion, homeware, premium beauty, gadgets and confections inspired by the seven Fantasy Gifts. Shop 10 standouts below, and check out the full assortment of luxury gifts across all price points here.
