To me, one of the highlights of every Christmas season is the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book and its selection of fantasy gifts. Do you dream of Jeannie? Well, even if you don’t, this “I Dream of Jeannie”-inspired 18-foot yurt is a great glam-ping getaway — if you have $75,000 to spare for the “Dream Folly.”
While it may just look like a strange oversized tent in the middle of the yard, the interior is more intricate than many homes. The yurt is decorated with hand-embroidered velvet down pillows, a velvet couch, vases of roses, candles and a crystal chandelier. The colors and textures are selected “bubbles of a warm, soothing bath.”
Since Neiman’s is in the business of granting wishes, you can choose a different color scheme and decor from the ones depicted here. But why bother? There’s no improving upon perfection. Simply ask for this dream getaway, and they will have it installed on your estate grounds in the blink of an eye. For every retreat sold, Neiman Marcus will donate $5,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The “Dream Folly” stands 12’5″ tall with an 18′ diameter.
