Check Out This Year's Luxury Gifts

Thinking about luxury gifts gives all of us a chance to dream, doesn't it? Every year, Neiman-Marcus comes out with its catalogue of Christmas offerings, and I like to check out the luxury gifts I'd love to buy for everyone - it's a great stress reliever to just pretend for awhile!

For example, for luxury gifts over $4000, you can buy the special woman on your list a Gucci raffia shoulder bag with alligator trim - the price tag is a mere $4200.

Or, for that great coffee enthusiast guy, a 24-carat gold-plated coffee center with hi-tech LED controls will set you back only $3999. (AND the manufacturers will donate a portion of the proceeds to the "Share Our Strength" and "Coffee for Kids" charities - hey, we all like to help charities this time of year, right?).

For the teen who has everything but luxury gifts, $4299 will get a 'personal arcade system' that will hold up to 5,000 arcade games and 350 pinball games. What more could any self-respecting scream-ager want? :-)

And, for the little boy on your list, there's a red miniature Ferrari that travels at speeds up to 3 mph, for only $625. For the 'girl on the go,' you can check out the purple motorized scooter with a zebra-print seat and back-rest that includes training wheels and a rechargeable battery, for ages 3 and up - only $375.

Aaah... there's nothing like dreaming of luxury gifts to put it all in perspective! And for some more fun luxury gifts, check this out.

Now, back to my regularly scheduled shopping - where DID I put that bargain flyer?
