Fantasy gift #1: The cupcake car will make grandkids squeal. (Photo: Neiman Marcus)

Neiman Marcus's deliciously decadent ode to giving is available online today. And this year's book is postitively drool-worthy.

 "The kids are healthy. The careers are under control. The in-laws are still, well, in-laws. You’ve earned something special, just for the two of you. Something amazing, exciting, and most certainly romantic. How about turning sci-fi into reality with a His & Hers luxury sports vehicle—in the air."

 Yessiree, it's a his-and-hers plane!  A $250,000 "sports aircraft" to be exact. The price includes the plane and pilot training for two. (For photo, see slideshow, below.)

 Not wild about flying? There could be a customized cupcake car by artist Lisa Pongrace in your future. Guaranteed to get the grandkids squealing, it's electric so no need to worry about filling up at the pesky gas pump. The Neiman Marcus writers suggest you embrace this $25,000 gift for its "sheer, joyful chaos." Sure beats Christmas pudding. It's our top fantasy gift #1. For the rest of the got-to-have-it lineup see the slideshow, below.
