    DALLAS, Texas — The $395,000 2012 Ferrari FF is actually one of the more frugal gifts in the fantasy section of the 2011 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

    More expensive offerings include a $420,000 International Flower Show tour and $1 million "dancing" fountains. Cheaper items in this year's glitzy Christmas Book include a $5,000 Johnnie Walker Private Scotch tasting and a $250,000 Hacker-Craft speedboat.

    Neiman Marcus will only sell 10 of the custom Ferrari FFs starting at noon EDT on October 27.

    The special FFs get a numbered interior plaque and a unique exterior color called "Grigio Caldo." The deal includes enrollment in the 2012 Ferrari Winter Driving Experience in Aspen, Colorado.

    The FF is powered by a 651-horsepower V12 engine linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. It has a top speed of over 200 mph.

    Neiman Marcus says the offer is limited to one vehicle per customer.

    Last year's Neiman Marcus Christmas Book car was a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible. All 100 units of the Camaro — priced at $75,000 — sold out in just three minutes last fall.

    Inside Line says: You won't be able to tuck this gift under the tree. Neiman Marcus says delivery will not occur until the spring.

    The flower show is actually a great deal. Wife and her family would enjoy this Christmas trip.

    "This isn't your typical flower show. You and nine of your friends are invited to board a first-class style Gulfstream G-IV private jet on May 12, 2012, where a JetWay Air representative will greet you and turn into your guide and concierge for your two-week adventure.

    Your first stop will be Merges, Switzerland, to check out 300 varieties of 100,000 tulips at the Tulip Festival. Then you're off to flower shows in Athens, then Avignon, France and finally London -- staying in luxurious (and historic) hotels along the way."

    Forget Ferrari ownership, I feel like my life just won't be complete until I can do the $420k flower show tour.
