For those who have everything: The $150,000 falconing set
Designer gloves and falcon hoods for the falconer in your life — and more in our collection of bizarrely elite consumer products
Neiman Marcus' holiday gift guide is out, and the retailer's most ridiculous offering is the Bespoke Global Falconry Companion, said Megan Willett at Business Insider. The $150,000 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.
