Neiman Marcus has finally released its famed 2006 Christmas Book of exotic holiday gifts. Not many holiday catalogs offer as wide a range as NM.

It’s nice to see that the folks over at Neiman are showing off a little clean and green this year. The 2006 Book offers an exclusive edition Twike. We brought you news of the little electric-powered/pedal-assist capsule a while back, but that was just the $26,000 base model. The NM version sports leather seats, velour carpeting and British racing green paint. The mechanicals stay the same still offering a top speed of up to 55 mph and a 90 mile range. The added amenities will run the vehicle’s price up to $40,000, but hey, it’s the holidays.

Other vehicles to make the Book were the GG Quad ($56,000) and the 2007 Neiman Marcus Limited Edition BMW M6 convertible for $139,000.
