This year’s featured Christmas gift offered by the swanky Neiman Marcus department store chain is so big, a select group of Neiman’s often-blase shoppers burst into applause at its unveiling.
The Dallas-based retailer is taking bids starting at $100,000 to paint a name in foot-high letters on the nose of a new United Airlines Boeing 777. The winning bidder will also get a year’s worth of unlimited first-class travel for two.
Any amount paid over $100,000 will be donated to the AmeriCares disaster relief organization and is tax-deductible, the company said.
United succeeded in bumping $3,000 Ghanaian coffins, which already had been chosen for the his-and-her gift.
