In the new Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, renowned for its unique luxurious offerings, I came across the Dreamboat Limited-Edition Levitating Sculpture. This incredible sculpture, by artist Tom Shannon, is a mix of aluminum, magnets, and mahogany that allows the 6 foot piece to levitate indefinitely. It's pretty cool, if you're looking for the ultimate gift to give and have $90,000 to blow. Too expensive? There is also a 16 inch version going for $18,000. But for most of us, if the gift of levitation is your gift of choice, I would just recommend Curiously Strong Magnets - Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets
