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.
