Here's the description of one of their so-called "WOW Gifts" -
Three Chimneys Farm Thoroughbred Racing Stable Package
You want the best, you go to the best. You want a working, turnkey, in-the-running thoroughbred racing enterprise right out of the starting gate? You go to Three Chimneys Farm. The legendary Kentucky farm has managed some of racing's winningest thoroughbreds, including history's only undefeated triple crown winner (a little guy named Seattle Slew). For this exclusive package, you get the works because Three Chimneys means business. They will build you a stable of 12-15 thoroughbreds and with your input will train them, house them, select races, enter them in races, provide you a personal racing concierge, and manage the entire enterprise for the next four years. As the owner, you get to name your stable and any unnamed horses, design your own silks, attend races, pose for pictures, give quotes to the media ... and keep all the purses and trophies.
Call 1.877.9NM.GIFT for details, and stock up on ascots.

Wow!!!
Well, you can't beat Lego blocks...they are just the must have gift this winter! hehehe
No - they're just trying to create the 'ultimate gift' for those people that don't have a financial worry in the world and truly want to get or give something no one else has.....These over the top gift ideas have been making a splash in the N-M catalog for decades now.
Who knows - maybe some of those 'fired' Wall Street financial wizards with the multi-million dollar 'bonus' awards will take a run at some of these way out there gift ideas??
Ummm - guess the rest of us work a day folks can choose between the sables and the sapphires and diamonds - right?!? That is as soon as we get back in from mucking out our own stalls. (Now that last paragraph IS a joke!)

Now I know just what to tell "Santa" that I want for Christmas. We Texans have always considered the Neiman's catalogue part of our Christmas tradition. I like this year's idea better than the his and her's airplanes of a few years ago. Unfortunately, most of us can't really take advantage of the wonderful items featured.
