The economy might be in the crapper, but not everyone is living paycheck to paycheck. Neiman Marcus released its 2011 Christmas book this week, offering wealthy shoppers a slew of fantasy gifts including a $125,000 custom-built library, a $395,000 Ferrari, and an international flower show tour valued at $420,000. Get out your check books!

The luxury items listed above are just three of the nine fantasy gifts offered by the high-end department store this holiday season. Shoppers with lots o' loot can also purchase a Hacker-Craft speedboat complete with 23-karat gold leafing and underwater lighting for $250,000, a luxury yurt (nomadic tent) for $75,000, and a private Johnnie Walker Scotch tasting, personal bagpiper and all, for a mere $5,000. Men and women who really want to live it up can purchase his-and-her dancing water fountains for their estate, though they’ll have to cough up a million dollars for the privilege. Each gift comes with a significant donation to a charitable organization.

First published in 1926, the annual Neiman Marcus Christmas book traditionally contains a mix of out of this world fantasy gifts and more down to earth items like $78.00 Kate Spade earrings and $36.00 petit fours.

If money were no object, which fantasy gift would you select?
