The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, as much as a calendar, points the way to winter.
And its annual ultimate wish list includes fantasy gifts grand enough to cause Santa to shudder with delight. Some of our favorites for this year's book:
UHis and hers action figures ($7,500 each). Simply send in photos of you and your mate and you'll be turned into lifelike 6-inch poseable action figures.
UAndy Warhol's Athlete Series ($3 million). The rare, complete set of 10 original Andy Warhol portraits features Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chris Evert, Willie Shoemaker, Pele, Tom Seaver, Dorothy Hamill, Jack Nicklaus, O.J. Simpson, Rod Gilbert and Muhammad Ali. Each 40-inch square is acrylic on canvas, signed by the artist and certified.
U2004 Cadillac XLR ($85,000). Giving a new meaning to snowmobile, the special-edition convertible hardtop roadster includes a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, keyless access with a pushbutton start and adaptive cruise control with sensors that automatically adjust for vehicles in front of you. Be ready for car envy -- only 101 are being created.
UDiamond collar ($550,000). More than 60 carats of white diamonds are attached to a lacy 18-karat white gold framework, highlighted by a centerpiece pear-shaped diamond drop of seven carats. (Above)
UBurberry London Taxi ($58,900). Be the first on your block or, heck, anywhere to own this taxi with classic Burberry interior. (Top)
