A cupcake-shaped electric car for kids, the world’s fastest electric motorcycle and dinner with some of today’s bestselling authors are just a few of the fantasy gifts for sale in Neiman Marcus’ 2009 Christmas book.

Dallas-based Neiman Marcus made a conscious effort to offer more affordable options while not disappointing loyal luxury shoppers as it unveiled its Christmas Book at the Dallas Contemporary on Tuesday.

“There was a lot of speculation whether we would have fantasy gifts this year, but even in financially challenging times, there’s a place for fantasy, especially during the holiday season,” said Gerald Barnes, chief executive officer of Neiman Marcus Direct, the retailer’s catalog and Internet division.

Among this year’s offerings are a customized Cupcake Car for kids that costs $25,000 and reaches top speeds of 7 miles per hour. For adults, there’s a 2010 Jaguar XJL super-charged sedan, priced at $105,000. Neiman Marcus customers will be the first to be able to purchase the vehicle, which comes with a 5-piece set of luggage that matches its leather interior.
