"Americans are familiar with the extravagant holiday gifts offered each year by Neiman Marcus.... But London stores might have finally gained the edge when it comes to over-the-top indulgence this season," reports Cox News Service from across the pond (free registration required).
The Queen's official grocer, a company known as Fortnum & Mason, is selling a high-priced Christmas hamper to mark the store's 300th birthday. To buy one, you'll have to part company with £20,000 — or nearly $41,000.

The three-tiered Tercenturian hamper includes fine wines, beluga caviar, hand-engraved stationery, a vat of lemon curd, two pairs of cashmere socks, a bottle of 1955 vintage port, enough foie gras for 25 people and an array of other epicurean delights.

Then there's the delivery — via horse-drawn cart.
