Getting a jump on shopping

If you ask me, it’s a little early to start Christmas shopping, but I’m sure some people are almost done.
If there’s still room in your shopping cart for a few select items, the recently released Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog might be a good place to look.
-- For only $35,000 you can have a dragon topiary in your yard.
-- A cell phone studded with pink and white diamonds will cost $73,000.
-- A portrait of you and your favorite person made from chocolate syrup will run $110,000.
-- A two-person submarine capable of diving to 1,000 feet costs $1,440,000. By the way, it comes with a “comprehensive” two-day training program (I sure would feel safe 1,000 feet below the water after two days of training!)
-- For $1,590,000, the Kirov Orchestra will perform three pieces for you and 499 of your closest friends. You even get to keep the autographed piano.
-- And, on top of the price list, you can get 10 acres of land in Montana for a mere $2.3 million. Quite a bargain when you consider it includes part of a nature preserve and a private dinner and entertainment.
So, dig deep into your pockets and under the cushions of the couch for that loose change. You’re going to need it.
