For 88 years Neiman Marcus has been tantalizing the imagination with its Christmas book. This year’s 187-page catalog is equipped with more than 600 gifts, ranging from mac ‘n cheese flavored dog treats to his and hers Vilebrequin quadskis for a whopping $50k each. Among the fur-trimmed cashmere cardigans and diamond encrusted bangles are some funky, food and cocktail-centric gifts. Here are five must-haves for exuberant party hosts and bon vivants alike.
Waterford Crystal Elysian Vodka Serving Set and Caviar Serving Set
This is technically two items. However, the amethyst crystal and 18 karat gold-plated serving sets are stunning as a pair.
Oscar de la Renta Acorn Ice Bucket with Tongs
The hand-blown tortoise patterned glass and brass ice bucket is sure to add character to any holiday tablescape or bar cart.
Tanqueray No. Ten Imperial Shaker by Jason Crawley
This five-foot-tall cocktail shaker is hands down one of the most elaborate gifts in the 2014 Christmas book. It comes with a year supply of Tanqueray gin, a personal cocktail education session for up to 20 guests and a set of stainless steel shakers.
Michael Aram Cat & Mouse Cheese Board
The playful granite and 24 karat gold-plated cheese board is from artist Michael Aram’s 25th anniversary commemorative collection.
Jonathan Adler Mr. & Mrs. Muse Napkin Rings
The brass lips and mustaches will liven up your napkins no matter how faded and sauce-stained they’ve become.
