DALLAS — It's an annual holiday tradition. Neiman Marcus unveiled its 2024 holiday book, featuring its latest lineup of Fantasy Gifts.

This year's Fantasy Gift lineup features seven items (or should we say experiences?) that run up to $1.9 million! If you're searching for a unique, one-of-a-kind gift, the Dallas-based retailer has you covered, but get ready to empty your pockets.

If you want to flex on your mahjong group, this gift is for you! For $20,000, you can get a fully iced-out mahjong set.

The set is designed by Judith Leiber and comes in a handbag featuring a butterfly design and more than 10,000 hand-set crystals. The game set itself is fully functional too with 156 hand-cut Italian resin tiles. Getting a winning hand will never look so good.

Miron Crosby Celestial Boots & Astrological Reading - $28,000

These boots were made for walking...carefully. Each of these boots has pavé diamond stars set in 18-karat gold in black leather. The Dallas-based designer, Miron Crosby, designed the boots to shine like the night sky.

Along with wearing the night sky, you'll also get the night sky read for you by astrologer Rosie Cutter.

Need some new kicks? In this experience, you and a friend will get a vacation experience with footwear designer Manolo Blahnik. You will stay at the Connaught Hotel in London and visit some of Blahnik's favorite spots around town.

During your stay, you'll go to the original Manolo Blahnik boutique in Chelsea for a VIP shopping experience, where you'll receive two pairs of shoes, with the option to have them monogrammed. The trip doesn't end there. You'll also get to attend the UK's first Marie Antoinette exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Here's another, cheaper shot at getting a taste of royalty. Ginori 1735 is offering an experience where you and three travel buddies can craft your own porcelain tableware.

Over three days, you will stay at a five-star hotel in Florence, Italy, and tour Palazzo Ginori and learn the intricacies of hand-painting porcelain. You'll talk about your creative ideas with their design team, and they'll bring your ideas to life with a custom table setting.

Marylin Fitoussi VIP Style Experience - $175,000

This package is for those wanting the "main character" experience. 

You and a partner would get a three-night trip to Paris, including a style experience with Marylin Fitoussi, the award-winning costume designer for Netflix's Emily in Paris. After spending the day shopping for clothes, you'll have dinner with Fitoussi and actor Jean-Christophe Bouvet.

You'll then get to see behind the scenes of the show followed by a personal fitting and full makeover from the show's hair and makeup team. Using a $25,000 voucher, you and your partner will leave with entire outfits to keep.

Messika Jewelry & Safari Experience - $777,777

Not interested in the carriage? How about some new bling?

In this exclusive experience, you can buy an 18.05-carat yellow diamond necklace and go on a safari in Namibia. The package includes a five-night stay in the Kalahari savannah and a two-day safari with photographer and documentary filmmaker Ami Vitale. You'll also get a tour of Messika's diamond-polishing factory and go home with two professional cameras, new lenses and the photos taken by Vitale printed, framed and shipped to your home.

18th-Century Royal Caleche - $1.9 million

If you're looking for a new whip, why not go for an antique? The most expensive item on the lineup this year is an 18th-century carriage that is literally fit for a king. The seven-foot-long calèche was designed for the family of King Charles III. It's made of iron and wood and adorned with painted scenes.

Sure, at $1.9 million you could buy about 78 Honda Civics or five Lamborghini Huracans, but how many 18th-century kings have ridden around in one of those? Unfortunately, a horse is not included.
