    If you wanted to present a loved one with a 7-foot tall skyscraper made out of No. 2 pencils this Christmas and were willing to spend $40,000 (delivery not included, but it comes with a cute sock monkey if you want one), what legendary purveyor of luxury/ fantasy goods would be able to assist you? And can you find me a picture of the skyscaper and the monkey?

    I'm thinking robboy is glad I don't shop at Neiman Marcus.

    The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book once again delivers an offering of the most outrageous, luxurious and adventurous gifts money can buy.

    Houston's Art Guys, Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, have a gift in this year's Christmas book: a $40,000, 7-foot-tall skyscraper made of thousands of No. 2 pencils. "Our piece is in context with a brand-new BMW and a diamond bracelet," Galbreth said. "We just love that!"

    O.K., I'll be generous divide the silver mace between peasy and Brainy. Wonder how much N-M would charge for it?

    Actually, I do shop at Neiman Marcus now and then, and I've been getting a kick out of the Christmas Book since childhood. The new edition arrived in my mailbox today. My favorite gift was the twin exotic fish tanks (one for him and one for her) that not only included the fish but also replaced the usual sand at the bottom with pearls and precious stones. Alas, my parents refused to buy them for me. Can't imagine why.
