The Ultimate High-Low Accessories Gift Guide: Elegant Items at Every Price Point
I've come to find that one of the greatest gifts of adulthood is that when I want something, I can buy it for myself. Granted, I'm not out here dropping thousands on a Hermès Mini Kelly (don't tempt me with a good time), but if there's a new sweater or pair of sneakers I can't stop thinking about, I'll get it for myself. Every year, this leaves my mom in a pickle over what to buy me for Christmas, so I'm letting it be known now: I will never turn down new accessories—jewelry, handbags, and sunglasses included. So if someone in your life is as hard to shop for as I am, let me introduce you to the 31 accessories that will suit a range of personal tastes and price points. Keep scrolling to shop my top gifts that range from $15 to $1500. Send this link to your mom, and thank me later.
$1500 & Under
My most-worn sunglasses of 2023 now come in silver.
If accessories from The Row aren't on your splurge list, it's time to reevaluate.
It doesn't get sweeter than this customizable medallion necklace.
$500 & Under
It doesn't get much cooler than these recently released Gucci sunglasses.
I'm really into this well-priced watch's pop of blue.
$100 & Under
For those without piercings, my go-to gift is always a pretty cuff like this one.
A much more approachable alternative to the $1300 originals.
Thirteen-year-old me would have loved to open this sparkling gift.
Another cool option for the Gen Zer you're having a hard time shopping for.
