While I can talk about cool fashion gifts at length, there is perhaps no topic I'm more excited to dive into than the best luxury holiday gifts of the season. Designers deliver the coolest pieces of the year at this time, so in my opinion, it's one of the best times to add great finds to your cart—whether you're gifting them to someone else or treating yourself to something special. I cover luxury fashion on Who What Wear, so I have a constant eye on the standout new items, but here, I've boiled it down to the very best pieces to gift from the designer space.

From beautiful investment (and very memorable) watches that will stand the test of time to stunning designer bags to interpretations of the softest possible cashmere from fashion to home, there are some pieces on my short list that I need to share. Ahead are the best luxury holiday gifts of the season, according to this editor.
