39 Showstopping Luxury Gifts Every Insider Is After
If you're anything like me, your shopping list has grown exponentially from merely browsing the latest new arrivals to putting some serious time and energy into gift shopping. Now that the holiday season has arrived, I've been logging some serious screen time in pursuit of the ultimate gifts to buy for everyone on my list—and it's a task I don't take lightly. I'm a very picky shopper and even pickier gift giver. I won't settle for the pieces that are just nice to open but instead am focused on finding the ones that will incite a truly awe-inspired, jaw-dropping reaction. So when I tell you that the 39 you're about to see here are guaranteed showstoppers, you should trust me.
Ask any fashion editor and they'll confirm that there are several luxury items they're secretly hoping to be gifted this year. Whether it's the viral Pierced Pumps from the Tory Burch runway, a tennis necklace with a modern bezel setting, or the jewelry-like Cartier Baignoire Watch that every fashion person is manifesting for themselves, look no further than the ultimate curation of luxury gifts that insiders are all hoping, praying, and wishing for right now.
I could stare at this jacket all day and never tire of it.
Dorsey's James Bezel Necklace is the modern, cool-girl take on a classic tennis necklace.
One of the best gifts to give this season? This bath and body care set of mineral-rich soaking salts and a nourishing body lotion, and a nice, relaxing massage to go with it.
It doesn't get any more timeless than Bottega Veneta's intrecciato leather, though this sleek clutch feels very current.
If they follow trends but never want to look too trendy, they'll go mad for anything from The Frankie Shop.
The only belts I wear are from this brand, and this tough grommet style is the next addition to my collection.
The bangle-like bracelet, oval face, and iconic Times New Roman numerals make this the most coveted watch of all.
If it features a built-in scarf, I can guarantee it's already in their cart.
There's a reason why every celebrity under the sun seems to own a pair.
Pajamas are a failsafe gift for a reason: Nobody wants to splurge on a luxurious set for themselves, but everyone loves to open one. The fashion person in your life will appreciate this Ukrainian-designed Sleeper set more than you know.
Flamingo Estate's candals are so fragrant that they will fill your home with the fresh verdant scent of heirloom tomatoes without even having to light one.
These Venetian slippers are on all of the best-dressed people in Milan lately.
Elevated enough to wear out of the house. Slinky enough to relax in at home.
I can't scroll on Instagram for two minutes without seeing someone wearing these shades.
They'll be as excited to wear this perfume as they will be to showcase it on their vanity.
A classic black shoulder bag is something every person needs in their closet, but fashion-editor beloved handbag brand Demellier just released this insanely chic East-West silhouette that takes the cake.
They'll be impressed you were able to source this perpetually soldout piece at all.
Encourage more dinner parties in 2025.
Win the holidays by gifting a set from the Aveda and Altuzarra collaboration. These limited-edition haircare kits come packaged in the prettiest reusable boxes. We love this set that includes the color control shampoo and conditioner, along with a leave-in treatment that can help extend the life of your salon hair color.
For serving everything from gelato to champagne in the chicest way possible.
Speaking from experience, they'll own this timeless nylon bag for years, and even decades, to come.
Once they start using this "miracle" serum, people will come out of the woodwork to compliment their glow.
The styling possibilities are endless with this Saint Laurent belt straight from the fall/winter 2024 runway.
I have a hunch that coffee will taste better from this sleek Danish-designed French Press.
