VIDEO: 5 Outrageous Neiman Marcus Holiday Gifts
Embellished Bracelet
A little Valentino goes a lot way. Case in point: this rock stud classic; a highly recognizable motif for the brand.
Understated Luxe Keychain
Few things are as luxury as a Bottega Veneta woven leather item. Sure, we'd prefer a huge handbag, but this bright orange keychain will do just fine.
Logo Socks
Whoever perpetuated that rumor that socks are a boring holiday gift never saw a pair of white, green and red Gucci socks.
Heritage Logo Mittens
Buy your best friend a pair of gloves they'll never lose ... because they'll be so obsessed with showing them off they won't ever remove them.
Neon Wallet
Nothing screams “fashion” like a brightly colored wallet; especially one by industry favorite, Comme Des Garçons. This wallet may be on the smaller side, but it’s super smooth leather and bright colors are what really give it the bang for the buck.
Flashy Accessory
No one will wonder if you stepped up the gift giving when you hand over that chic black box that reads: PRADA.
Knitted Sweater
Ahhh, the iconic Missoni print. How I wish thee could be on everything I own. What's that you say? A seasonless sweater with the stripe for $213? SOLD!
Gunmetal-Tone Crystal Clip Earrings
Got a girly girl on your gift list? These Oscar de la Renta earrings are the perfect buy: metal and crystals so shiny she'll think she's getting diamonds.
Work Accessory
Help your amigo step it up in the workplace with this chic, yet understated pouch: perfect for carrying pants and your cell.
