When the special people in your life have been extra good (read: put up with nearly two years of your weird at-home workouts at 5am), express your thanks with a fancy gift or two. Luxury gifts come with a heftier price tag, but they’re worth every cent in the long run. After all, replacing a discount coffee maker every two years is about as sustainable as the energy you get from a cup of joe.
We scoured the Internet and came up with a list of luxury gifts that are sure to inspire an excited reaction. From expensive cookware to cozy cashmere to designer perfume, we’ve got a pricey present for everyone on your list. Everyone who deserves it, anyway. Your nosy neighbor is getting coal.
17 Luxury Gifts for Your Favorite People
1. Tatcha The Water Cream Oil-Free Pore Minimizing Moisturizer, $68
Tatcha is a luxury skincare brand with prices that may actually be wrinkle-inducing, and suddenly, their business model makes a lot of sense to us. But when it comes to luxury gifts, this anti-aging water cream moisturizer is sure to impress. It’s like the blur filter IRL.
Available at Sephora.
2. Apple AirPods Pro, $249
AirPods are the gift that keeps on giving, until they lose them in that pesky space between the driver’s seat and the center console. Also known as the place where crumbs go to die.
Available at Target.
3. The Mirror by Lululemon, $1,495
The Mirror is the newest innovation in home fitness: it’s both a mirror (duh) and an interactive smart gym. It’s a great gift for fitness enthusiasts who are also narcissists. No, no, you look great!
Available at Mirror.
4. Our Place Always Pan, $145
The Always Pan from Our Place was designed to replace eight pieces of cookware, and it’s majorly trending right now. We’re still looking for a way to combine all eight of our friends into one group, but maybe that’s just not our place.
Available at Our Place.
5. Madewell (Re)sponsible Cashmere Travel Wrap, $158
What’s not to love about this cashmere travel wrap from Madewell? It’s a catch-all for coziness. Use it as a blanket on the airplane, wrap it around yourself in your freezing cold office, or forget it on the subway and make someone else’s day.
Available at Madewell.
6. CrateJoy Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Club, $40 – $50/month
Subscription boxes are a thoughtful way to make sure your loved ones have to think of you every single month. This one comes with three signature recipes and enough ingredients to make 12 drinks a month. We’ll try Dry January the year after next.
Available at CrateJoy.
7. Johnny Was Roma Weekender Bag, $390
A California brand with a bohemian, laid-back style, Johnny Was creates unique, embroidered pieces that are always one-of-a-kind, like this weekender bag. This is a gift that says, ‘I expect you to come visit me, but not for more than three days at a time.’ A true introvert’s delight.
Available at Anthropologie.
8. AllSaints Milo Leather Biker Jacket, $529
For any guy on your list, a leather jacket is a great luxury gift they might not buy for themselves. This one from AllSaints is just the right combination of polished and grunge, like that guy from Panic! At The Disco.
Available at AllSaints.
9. 2.00” Cirrus Ice Ball Press, $399.99
Okay, yes, technically ice is free. But fancy ice is $400. This ice ball press creates a sphere of ice that takes longer to water down drinks, and looks really cool in a glass of whiskey.
Available at Cirrus.
10. Lunya Washable Silk Robe, $248
You can’t spell luxury without silk. We did fail spelling in elementary school, but nonetheless, this washable silk robe from Lunya is the perfect mix of fancy and practical for anyone who doesn’t have a dry cleaner on speed dial.
Available at Lunya.
11. Brooklinen Super-Plush Bath Towels, $69
These plush towels from Brooklinen are actually cheaper than stealing the ones you fell in love with at that fancy resort you went to last year, plus they’re brand new. Lesson learned.
Available at Brooklinen.
12. Away Luggage Bigger Carry-On, $245 – $265
Any travel-lover in your life will swoon over this carry-on bag from Away. Bonus points if it comes with a vacation to Greece, but we’ll take a day trip to Palm Springs if that’s out of budget.
Available at Away Travel.
13. Gravity Blanket 15 lb Twin/Throw
A weighted blanket is the epitome of a luxurious experience. Feel like you’re being crushed, but in a comforting way, not a James Franco in 127 Hours way.
Available at Amazon.
14. MALIN+GOETZ Cannabis Perfume Oil, $52
We’re not sure if anyone has ever said, ‘I want to smell like weed,’ but if they have, here’s the perfect gift for them. Pairs nicely with some rolling papers.
Available at Revolve.
15. Goddess Charms Warrior Pendant Necklace, $255
This gold vermeil necklace features the warrior goddess Durga, who is believed to bring an end to fear. So buy it, and then wear it for a few days before gifting it so you don’t fear your credit card bill when it arrives next month.
Available at Anthropologie.
16. SMEG Retro Drip Filter Coffee Machine, $250
Make coffee the old-fashioned way with this drip-filter coffee machine from aesthetic, cult-favorite brand SMEG. No guarantees on the coffee’s flavor. We’re not Starbucks.
Available at Pottery Barn.
17. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum, $108
If smelling like weed isn’t your recipient’s thing, go for a classic fragrance from Chanel. It’s possible that she won’t like the scent, but she’ll love the way it looks on her vanity, and that’s worth a Benjamin or two.
Available at Sephora.
When she's not typing away on her laptop, you can find Laura working on her MBA at Boston College, listening to Taylor Swift, or sweating it out at an OrangeTheory class. Follow her on Instagram @LauraKristine21 and LinkedIn.
