The best things in life are free. And the other best things in life are really, really lavish. And no one knows that better than Neiman Marcus. For 65 years, the integrated luxury retailer has delivered holiday magic in the form of Fantasy Gifts, exclusive experiences and one-of-a-kind treasures, as part of its iconic Christmas Book and seasonal campaign: A Neiman’s Fantasy.

This year, the seven ultra luxe gifts were presented at an exclusive launch event in L.A. on Oct. 15, attended by industry leaders, fashion insiders and famous faces like Allison Janey, Kathryn Hahn, Samuel Arnold, Molly Gordon and China Chow. Like last year’s event at the Sunset Tower, Neiman Marcus’ president Ryan Ross and chief brand officer Nabil Aliffi revealed the glamorous offerings.
