Despite what you might think, the art of gift-giving isn't actually about the details of the gift itself but rather the kind of impression it leaves. Whether or not you really spend a fortune on a gift hardly matters as long as whatever you're wrapping up gives off the vibe that you put a lot of thought and effort into picking it out. But what exactly constitutes such a gift? Well, you're about to find out, as we have 22 luxurious gift ideas in store for you.

We get it, which is why we went ahead and sourced the most expensive-looking gifts we could find that are all magically around or under $150. From a pair of beautiful gold hoop earrings to a silky H&M blouse, keep scrolling to shop each of our picks.
