Competition for Neimans

Posted by Anne Fitzgerald, Globe Travel Editor November 30, 2007 10:33 AM

When it comes to over-the-top holiday gifts it's hard to beat the fantasy gifts in the Neiman Marcus catalog, but Andrew Harper has come up with a strong contender.
Harper, editor and publisher of the Hideaway Report, is offering an Ultimate Paris itinerary for those with money to burn.
The seven-night extravaganza includes a private jet, the Imperial Suite at the Hotel Ritz, reservations at restaurants like Le Pre Catalan or Le Voltaire, and a private museum tour.
And it doesn't stop there. Guests will also get a session with custom-perfume designer Francis Kurkdjian, a couture fitting at Chanel or Dior, and so much more.
And the cost for this holiday treat? Well, rates start at $300,000.
Too pricey? Try giving a bottle of fine champagne.
