Neiman Marcus’s holiday gift guide is out already, and “by far and away” the retailer’s most ridiculous offering this year is the Bespoke Global Falconry Companion. “Every master falconer’s dream,” the set packs quite a lot into a handsome leather trunk. You get a falcon transportation case, one hand-sewn glove, four exotic-skin falcon hoods, various leashes, a leather perch, and a gold perch. But falconers apparently need to find ways to fill time when their predators are soaring overhead, so the kit also includes a folding table, two chairs, a cigar cutter, two crystal decanters, and a backgammon board. Falcon not included.
