- Proceeds from the sale of each extraordinary gift to benefit St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital -
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Saks Fifth Avenue announced that it has created five exclusive, over-the-top luxury gifts available for purchase beginning October 22. A portion of each gift sold will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

A detailed description of each gift is presented in Saks' first holiday catalog, Snow or Never, which will arrive in homes this month.
