If you're a Neiman Marcus customer, holiday gifts are like a briefcase full of gold chocolate bars — you never know what you're going to get.
The luxury department store just unveiled the 60th edition of its Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts, part of its annual Christmas Book that essentially serves as a guide to holiday shopping for the one percent. If you've got just shy of a million dollars squirreled away for the perfect present, then Neiman Marcus has got you covered, whether you're looking for a limited-edition Aston Martin car designed by Daniel Craig, a $70,000 multi-story "pet paradise," or a vending machine full of Moët champagne.

Neiman Marcus has published its Christmas Book since 1926, in what was then a 16-page booklet designed as a Christmas card for the department store's top customers. In recent years, it has become known for its opulent, ostentatious gifts.
We took a look at this year's Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts, as well as some of the most expensive items from the Christmas Book, below.
