The Harlem Globetrotters, in conjunction with Neiman Marcus, are offering a unique opportunity to play with the world’s most famous basketball team. The retailer’s annual holiday gift guide features a package for $110,000 that includes: an official personalized Globetrotters uniform, guaranteed playing time in a game in the U.S. on the upcoming 2009 World Tour, introduction as a special guest, and behind-the-scenes access.
The Neiman Marcus holiday gift guide, which began as a Christmas card to clients in 1926, traditionally features this type of extravagant and one-of-a-kind gift. In addition to the once-in-a-lifetime Globetrotters experience, this year’s catalog also includes:
• A 35-year collection of every 45 RPM record listed on the Billboard Top 100 Rock and Pop charts through the end of 1990 - $275,000 (shipping extra)
• Equestrians can splurge on a $10 million Kentucky horse farm, complete with a stable of up to 15 thoroughbreds
• For the golf enthusiast who has one million dollars to spare - a backyard golf course custom-designed by champ Jack Nicklaus for Christmas
• Life-size Lego replicas of you and your beloved - $60,000
• Dallas Cowboys fans purchase an entire stadium end zone in their backyard for $500,000
"The whole purpose of these fantasy gifts is to make people smile," said Ginger Reeder, Neiman Marcus Direct spokesperson.
