Nudo is an olive grove and part of it can be given as a gift. Gift Italian olive trees for a year and you’ll be giving the enjoyment of a premium Italian olive oil from their own tree. The tree is located in the beautiful Val di Noto of south eastern Sicily. The land around the grove originally belonged to Nonno Paulo. He divvied it up between his 6 sons and 3 daughters, and this piece fell to lucky Uncle Francesco (nicknamed Ciccino). He planted the olive trees 20 years ago and they have flourished in the famed Sicilian sun. The grove is overlooked by Mount Renna to the north. You’ll get to pick the trees you’d like to give or have Ciccino pick them for you. Give the gift that us unlike any other.

The Neiman Marcus 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante
Elegant and confident, with a sexy stance, your Neiman Marcus 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante is one of only 10 in the world. Scores high marks on good looks alone though looks aren’t skin deep on this baby. There is much more to this machine than meets the eye. Under its NM Exclusive Seychelles Blue exterior exists the culmination of a century of technological and engineering prowess. Handbuilt in Gaydon, England, your Vanquish Volante sports a 100% carbon fiber shell —the first ever in Aston Martin’s history —meaning a much lighter car with greater torsional and structural rigidity, while enhancing safety, performance, and handling. A new, naturally aspirated 6.0-liter, V-12 engine produces some 565 horsepower and is tuned to deliver 457 pound-feet of torque, available and accessible throughout the rev range to deliver an enhanced performance feel. The engine sends the drive strictly to the rear wheels via a six-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transmission, making acceleration smooth, steady, and, above all, responsive. With a turn of the ignition, the throaty engine roars to life. A three-mode Adaptive Damping System allows you to choose the character of your ride. Cruising down the coastline, you wonder what it would be like to put the reported 180-plus mph max speed to the test. Like a certain secret agent, you have a penchant for these beautiful British automobiles—and a taste for adventure. With every purchase of the Neiman Marcus 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, Neiman Marcus will donate $3,000 to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation.
