2011 Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog

The annual unveiling of the 2011 Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog, featuring fantasy gifts.

Inside the cockpit of a Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft speedboat, Brady White portrays Santa Claus, left, posing with model Lisa Bull during the unveiling of the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog in Dallas, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011. The annual event spotlights gifts that most people can only dream about, though about half of the catalog items cost under $250.

Seen here is the Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft speedboat. The 27-foot solid mahogany hand-built boat has a price tag of $250,000 and features 23-carat gold-leafing.

The 2012 Ferrari FF is presented by Santa Claus. The sports car priced at $395,000 jumps from 0 to 60 in less than 3.7 seconds and reaches top speeds of over 200 MPH but delivery is not promised until Spring of 2012. Many of the fantasy gifts are paired with a charity that will benefit from their sale.

Models Youri Bebik, left, and Carlotta Lennox demonstrate the Tom Burr table tennis table. The limited edition table is sculpted with black rubber and has a price tag of $45,000. Sounds like this is for some serious gamers.

Santa Claus examines a live chicken that's part of the "Daytrip to Stone Barns Farms" gift presentation. The daytrip to the picturesque farm in the countryside of Pocantico Hills, N.Y., costs $9,500. Do the chickens lay golden eggs?

The 18-foot-diameter yurt is a simulation of genie's bottle with a price beginning at $75,000.

Sitting inside a plush Rainier Yurt, Santa Claus, left, and model Brittany Leigh share a relaxing moment inside the "Dream Folly" gift.
