These Are the Ultimate Luxury Gifts for Anyone With Exceptional Taste
Gift-giving season is upon us, and if you are hunting down the perfect present ideas, we’re highlighting the standout finds that deserve to be wrapped up. If you are looking to splurge on someone special, I’ve narrowed in on the best luxury gifts of the season. This includes everything from little luxuries to sky's-the-limit pieces that make a big statement. I've narrowed in on finds for everyone from the traveler to the beauty expert, so you'll find handpicked gift ideas including special finds such as Madame Grey's cult fragrance, Louis Vuitton's iconic monogrammed travel bag, Contax's buzzy out-of-production film camera, Bulgari's diamond-encrusted Serpenti bangle, and more.
Ahead is the 2025 luxury gift edit, including the ultimate present ideas to give this season. From heritage pieces to buzzy new finds that are going viral among the fashion set, these are the special pieces they will hold on to for years and years. ’Tis the season to find something that will be memorable for the family, friends, and significant others who are closest to you.
For the true fashion person, there is nothing better to unwrap than a beautiful piece they can add to their wardrobe. Items like printed scarves or animal-print hats are the ultimate finds for someone in the know whose iPhone is full of screenshots from the runway. Insider-favorite trousers from High Sport will have them feeling like the best dressed person in the room, whether they're getting ready for a fashion show or a flight. New bag arrivals from Louis Vuitton are also key holiday gifts that they'll wear for years and years ahead.
What travel person wouldn't want to add some pieces to their collection for their next trip? Slippers are always a great place to start, and the Charvet suede style are a heritage piece that is the absolute showstopper. Bags, too, are exceptional gifts that they'll probably use on every upcoming flight, particularly if you opt for the classic Louis Vuitton duffel. A film camera from Contax alongside Kodak Portra 400 film make the perfect gift for anyone who likes to capture special moments on their journeys.
There are so many gorgeous jewelry options for the collector, whether they just purchased their first watch or they are passionate about accessories. An opera necklace from Le Sundial is best gifted alongside tickets to a special show. For something they will treasure in their jewelry box, you can't go wrong with the Gypset earrings from Jessica McCormack—a design every in-the-know fashion person has at the top of their wish list. For something they'll pass down, a gorgeous timepiece with a meaningful engraving.
Beauty items always make for great gifts, with options ranging from small stocking stuffers to truly luxurious finds. Perfume from Madame Grey is housed in the most beautiful opulent glass bottle. If they're into the best beauty tech, you can't go wrong with the lastest Lyma laser, which delivers cosmetic surgery–level results. For a fashion-meets-beauty enthusiast, opt for ornate combs so they can re-create the updo hair look from The Row's latest runway show.
