Your Portrait in Chocolate

This might be one of the more unusual gifts that I've heard of.

Vik Muniz is reknown for crafting internationally famous art out of literally anything: caviar, dirt, diamonds, and even toys. For a mere $110,000, artist Muniz will paint a His and Hers portrait for you in a double helping of Bosco® chocolate syrup. The painting will be a framed 60" x 48" museum-quality photographic work of art, and of course a limited edition of one. If you think that might be a bit steep, at least it's for a good cause. Muniz will be donating his proceeds to Centro Espacial Rio de Janeiro, the charity he created to bring social and art projects to life for underprivileged young people in Brazil.

You can head over to the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog HERE if you're really interested.
