Your Favorite People Deserve to Be Spoiled

“Ever since the pandemic, I've seriously stepped up my loungewear and pajama game, determined to look and feel great always—whether I'm home alone or not. Not only is this pajama set buttery soft and cozy, but it also looks great. My personal favorite colorways are the olive green and cool grey tones. Gift this to a loved one who habitually wears t-shirts with holes in them to sleep (a.k.a. me, two years ago) and watch their eyes light up with delight.” — Gabrielle Ulubay, E-Commerce Writer 

“If being in lockdown has taught me anything, it's that small indulgences, particularly those that can be enjoyed at home (and especially during the EOD wind-down), make the worst days feel a little more sumptuous. NK IMode's 100% silk pajama set is chief among my "quick-fixes," one that often leads me to light a candle, dim my lights, and find a moment of peace while swathed in buttery-soft luxuriousness. I believe that the best kind of presents are those that you'd be more likely to find on someone's wishlist than in their wardrobe, and this set checks all the boxes.” — Lucia Tonelli, Social Media Editor 

“I’m in my pajama era. Matching sets only and silk is preferable. While I’ve been slowly accumulating a solid collection over the past few months, these are going to be my gift to myself this holiday season. Not only are they wildly comfortable, sleek, and shiny, but the color options are unbeatable—and like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I have my eye on the rosy pink and avocado green.” — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

“I love silk pajamas more than anything—I would wear them all day, every day if it was socially acceptable. Recently, I’ve been living in this organic silk set. The new-to-market brand uses only the highest quality mulberry silk (in the world), pearl buttons, and non-toxic dyes so you can sleep extra soundly. I’ve been living in the blue pair—and slipping on the accompanying sleep mask every night.” — SH 

"I've been looking for a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones ever since my AirPods broke, and this pair from Bose has earned the top spot in my collection. The noise cancellation feature is so good, I practically forget that I'm walking around the noisy New York City streets. Plus, the sleek colorway means that they're basically the technological version of my black boots." — Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Writer 

"First things first: this speaker is gorgeous. Can you imagine the basketweave colorway playing softly during a garden party? Or the wood version on your sailboat? (I don’t have a sailboat, but someday.) Besides all that, it’s a very good speaker, with incredible sound, long-lasting battery, and wireless charging built in." — Sophia Vilensky, Freelance Beauty Writer

“Great for watching TV in any room of the house, playing games, or even doing work, you’re going to get your fair share of use out of this moveable screen. It’s ideal for couples with opposite TV tastes (this looks like a great screen for sports if you ask me) or as an extra TV in small spaces. It’s extremely narrow, connects to WiFi, and has a very clear picture.” — SH 

“Peace and quiet is a luxury all its own. I’m especially fond of these wireless headphones, which feature noise-cancellation technology so you can bask in your own thoughts all winter long. If you want to be super extra, get them both colors for extreme outfit options.” — SV

“If you have a movie or tv-obsessed friend or family member on their list, this is the luxe gift you *must* get for them. It’s about to elevate their film-watching experience ten-fold. This set will provide immersive spacial audio, surround sound, and a bass that makes you feel like your home is a movie theater.” — SH 

“When it doubt, buy tech. That’s been my go-to gift-giving motto for the past few years and it’s served me pretty damn well. This year, I plan on scooping up a pair of these AirPods for both my dad and my brother. Not only are they sleek as can be, but they also offer noise cancellation and 20 hours of uninterrupted listening without a charge. To sweeten the gift even more, I’m going to get a custom engraving on the headphones. Currently debating between emojis or initials—I’ll report back” — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor

“As a beauty editor, I’ve tried my fair share of skincare brands. And through it all, Dr. Barbara Sturm remains one of my all time favorites. This little kit is the perfect sampling of her product range, complete with the facial scrub, face mask, glow drops, hyaluronic serum, niacinamide drops, and enzyme face cleanser. It has everything your friend, mom, sister, or even you (no judgement) could possibly need to get through winter—with a glow. If you’re really looking to up the ante on your gift, I’ll leave you with this: All the products are TSA-friendly, so maybe just maybe you could pop some plane tickets inside.” — SH

“I was recently introduced to this French skincare brand and am so obsessed, I’ll be pushing the products upon everyone on my list. Their cleanser removes all makeup (even waterproof), their toner is mega-powerful, and the face oil is not only unbelievably hydrating, but also smells amazing. My skin has never looked better, which makes this trio well worth the investment.” — SH 

“With a luxe candle, bar soap, and fragrance, this Krigler gift set is the perfect treat for your friend who still swears by having a signature scent—on their body and in their home. The trio is available in approximately eight different fragrances, each just as chic and high-end as the next. I’m partial to Oud for Highness and Pleasure Gardenia, but you really can’t go wrong with any of them.” — SH 

“For as long as I can remember, the Carlyle has epitomized luxury to me. Every time I’m sitting in its muraled bar sipping a martini (and eating those perfect bar snacks), I remember exactly why. Crafted by the brilliant Brooklyn perfumer DS & Durga, this scent pays homage to the legendary hotel with citrus, honeysuckle, and soft sandalwood notes. It’s “a who's who of fancy fume materials,” according to the brand.” — SV

“I could write a book about how much I love this lipstick. A few years ago, I tried a free sample of it and became completely hooked. It smells divine, stays on all day, and never feathers or smudges. Its bright shade of red is also highly pigmented--something that I truly appreciate, being that I have naturally deeper colored lips. Finally, the formula goes on smooth and doesn't dry out my lips (a rarity with lip stains!). Buy this for any lipstick lover, and you're guaranteed to get them hooked.” — GU

“This is less of a recommendation than a personal plea to my friends and family. Every year, I secretly hope someone will get me La Mer, but as my friends and family are not mind-readers I always end up, with, like, a candle. (And don't get me wrong! I love a good candle! But I love-love La Mer.) La Mer is one of those lines that everyone can universally agree is worth the investment, from the lip balm to the serum. You can't go wrong with gifting this one.” — Jenny Hollander, Director of Content Strategy 

“Very rarely does a new skincare line really, truly woo me, but such was the case with Auteur. I was introduced to the brand via the Exploration Routine Hydrating set and can’t recommend it enough. The trio of products have plumped, calmed, and hydrated my skin, all while giving it a gorgeous glow. Plus, the bottles look stunning on any vanity. I have this top of mind for my mom and my grandmother—I’m convinced they’ll love it just as much as I do.” — SH

“PSA: Everyone wants a Dyson. For the holiday season, the brand dropped a gorgeous, limited-edition cobalt blue and rose gold colorway that’s simply stunning. I’m already a major AirWrap and Supersonic fan, but I think I might just have to add the Corrale to my collection. It takes out frizz in seconds and, when maneuvered properly, can give the best, beachy curl.” —SH 

"This bag is one of the best new releases of the season in my opinion. I love the modern shape combined with the classic camel colorway. It feels fresh yet timeless, and the brown shade will match with all of your winter looks. However, it's just as easy to style with your summer clothes, too." — JM

“I’ve had my eye on this bag since the pre-order dropped. I have the PDP bookmarked and just stop and stare at its beauty on the regular. It’s the perfect accessory for a night out, is the absolute perfect size (just big enough to fit my phone and a lip gloss!), and can be carried as a pouch or a crossbody. The metallic handle is also insanely chic.” — SH 

“Don’t tell anyone, but the leather wallet I’ve been toting around for years is 10000% a knock-off—and falling apart. This holiday season, I’m hoping to upgrade to something a little more official. Like this gorgeous and compact Jacquemus organizer, perhaps?” — SV

“This sweater from one of my favorite brands, Rowing Blazers, is an ode to one of Princess Diana's most iconic looks. It's also so warm and comfortable, and screams luxury and self-love in a way that few other clothing items can.” — GU

“There’s nothing quite like cozying up in cashmere. Gigi Hadid knows this is true, and made an entire clothing line—Guest in Residence—to prove it. While all the brand’s pieces are all lovely, I’m especially fond of this cropped turtleneck. The gray is giving quiet luxury while the fabric and cut are giving comfort.” — SV

“The love I have for my Daily Sleeper outfit is overwhelmingly large. Like, words can not accurately describe how obsessed I am that these super soft, pajama-esque sets can be worn in public, to work, or out to dinner. I swear to god, it doens’t get better or comfier. The feathers are detachable, so I can play it cool at home and up the ante before I head to an event. The basic shades are obviously classic, but the newest hot pink addition has caught my eye for obvious Barbiecore reasons.” — SH 

“This bag checks off all my boxes as a purse lover: a piece from a chic up-and-coming brand, constructed in a unique design, made of the highest quality leather. It’s become my versatile go-to, whether I want to wear it as an easy crossbody, or carry it as an elegant, eye-catching top-handle.” — Quinci LeGardye, Contributing Culture Editor

“I’m not being dramatic when I say that this bag will now become one of, if not the only, bag I carry. It’s perfectly designed for everyday use–the handle is long enough that it sits comfortably under my shoulder, and the bag is slender enough that it doesn’t push out against my arm as I carry it. Plus, the glossy patent leather is so easy to clean and makes it feel nighttime-appropriate too. Despite the fact that it’s thin, it fits all my essentials, like my wallet, a makeup bag, my over-the-ear headphones from Bose (which are also on this list), and multiple chargers.” — JM 

“They say that once you fly business class, you can never go back. I have zero experience in business class, sadly, but I'm pretty sure the same applies to the Symthson Soho planner. Aside from my phone, there's no single object I'm more reliant on in my day-to-day life (and unlike my phone, time spent with my beloved Soho planner is never wasted time). There's something almost primally satisfying about how it feels to write on the gilt-edged, pale blue, feather-light paper, and, I mean, can you put a price on bringing joy into your everyday life and staying organized? No. No, you cannot. (PS: If you're gifting this to someone else, get it monogrammed via Symthson's website.)” — JH

“If NYFW proved anything on the beauty front, it’s that hair accessories are poised for a comeback. While there are a handful of brands that make gorgeous bows and headbands, nobody does it quite as well as Jennifer Behr. Case in point? This ultra-sleek black satin headband. It even has Jennifer Lawrence’s stamp of approval: She just wore this *exact* headband at the Saks Fifth Avenue window debut.” — SH 

“Great for anyone who loves skiing, spending time outdoors, or simply looking fashion-forward, these gorgeous cashmere gloves make a great holiday gift. They’re incredibly soft and cozy, are fitted to your fingers, and won’t slide off as you go about your day.” — SH 

“This mohair blend scarf from Loewe is insanely soft and will elevate any outfit.” — Sara Holzman, Style Director 

"To me, there's nothing more luxurious than jewelry when it comes to gifting. Rather than try to guess my recipient's style, I'm turning to an advent calendar from one of my favorite jewelry brands, Local Eclectic. This pretty box, which can also be used to organize jewelry, comes with 12 pieces from earrings to rings to necklaces all of different styles to mix and match. There's statement earrings, classic gold hoops, stackable rings, and even a starter charm necklace, just to name a few standouts. I love how this can be used to really build out someone's jewelry collection or fill in any gaps they may have. And with each piece in it's own gift box, you can even use this set to cross off multiple people on your list!" — Brooke Knappenberger, Associate E-Commerce Editor 

“Growing up in Queens, I used to love collecting Tanya nameplate pendants, rings (and yes, even hoop earrings) in bold script. That was the style. But these days I love understated personalized pieces that welcome more names than just my own. I discovered Tiny Tags, a female-founded, luxury, celeb-favorite jewelry collection specializing in both ready-to-ship and custom pieces, and quickly fell in love with its Mini Dog Tags where I could get my husband and sons' names engraved on each tiny tag. But its most popular luxury necklace is its 14K Gold skinny bar necklace, which allows for front and back engraving. In addition to names and special dates, you can add a meaningful birthstone to elevate this timeless piece. It's an instantly unforgettable gift for a mom, sister, or any loved one.” — Tanya Klich, Senior Editor 

"While jewelry is an obvious and classic present choice, someday you’re going to need a place to store all those baubles. This handmade leather and suede organizer is as pretty as it is practical—a luxury in its own right—with 11 compartments for safely storing all your favorite presents from years past." — SV.

“I’m a loyal Ring Concierge Instagram follower. And, while she has so many stunning monogrammed necklaces and mutli-carat tennis necklaces to choose from, my jaw repetitively hits the floor every single time she shows off this Toi et Moi Gemstone Ring. I am deeply, deeply, deeply obsessed with the endless color combos, gorgeous cuts, and dainty band. So hint-hint wink-wink: If anyone out there is looking to buy me a *very* nice holiday gift, I’d like this. Please.” — SH

“I love celebrating birthdays and holidays with a birthstone gift. And even though I'm a May Emerald girl, I love the baby blue of December Topaz. When I need a good gem I turn to Haverhill. The female founded brand was created by designer Haverhill Leach, whose family has been making jewelry in New England since the 1880s. Its topsellers include the Bayberry necklace which features 4mm briolette stones dotted along a chic paper clip chain. But to celebrate a milestone or a special holiday, I'd browse the Warren, Haverhill's most luxurious collection. It features emerald-cut stones set in 14k gold with the option to add accent stones for a little more bling. With or without the extra accents, and no matter what month, the sustainably grown gemstones make the perfect holiday gift.” — TK

“This massage chair is one of my favorite items in my apartment, hands down. Its egg-like, modern look bucks against the stereotypically hulking massage chairs of yore, and it comes in a variety of colors so it can fit in with any apartment decor (I personally like the camel colorway). The chair provides thorough full-body massages that are great after a challenging workout or just a long day at work, but the chair is also unbelievably comfortable when not providing massages. When you sit back and put your feet up on the minimalist footrest that this chair comes with, you'll never want to get up.” — GU

"May I present the ultimate luxury gift for the reality TV fan in your life? An original oil painting by Noel de Lesseps, the one and only son of the one and only Countess Luann from The Real Housewives of New York. While Noel has showed his artwork at a number of impressive galleries throughout New York, I would still consider the 27-year-old a rising star.  Honestly, this is your chance to get in early on art history. (If you buy me this, I’ll love you forever.)" — SV

“Pendleton is classic, and Schoolhouse is on its way there. This heirloom-quality wool blanket combines the very best of both brands with a muted pattern that will match your decor in any season. Modern while retaining a timeless feel and design, your lucky recipient will keep this blanket around for a very, very long time.” — SV

“While Dyson’s luxe vacuums get a lot of air time (for good reason, I adore my cordless option), might I suggest upping your canister game with a Miele? Crafted for “the most discerning” cleaners, this beautiful vacuum—can you believe I’m saying that? But it’s true!—is equipped with 1200 W of power and a HEPA filter for maximum air hygiene. Just look at that bronze color. Swoon.” — SV

“A weighted blanket, heating pad, and massager all in one? Sign me up! This piece is the perfect gift for the loved one who has everything--especially if the loved one in question works out frequently, deals with back pain, or gets painful cramps. It also comes with a remote control that allows the user to control the temperature, making this the ultimate pick for customizable comfort.” — GU

“I'm a huge candle aficionado, so it's no surprise that one of Nox & Vesta's candles made my list. This particular scent is an ode to the lost Library of Alexandria, and incorporates some of my favorite fragrance notes, including patchouli, sandalwood, leather, and lemon. The overall effect is perfect for a chilly night spent reading indoors.” — GU 

“I like to call this espresso machine my ‘statement kitchen appliance.’ It's a stunning stainless steel work of art, and it looks like something that belongs in a real cafe rather than in an apartment. It also comes with a built-in coffee grinder, saving me the time and aggravation when I want to make a morning coffee but haven't ground my espresso beans. Plus, despite its hefty price tag, it saves me tons of money: Gone are the days that I needed to go out when in the mood for a latte or cappuccino. Now, I can have my favorite fancy drinks in the comfort of my own kitchen.” — GU

“An easy breakfast, but make it luxe. I completely blame Sonja Morgan for putting this idea in my head, but I’ve always wanted a fancy toaster oven as a gift. Besides looking perfect on your countertop, this selection from Breville features 13 smart cooking functions including air frying, slow cooking, and dehydrating. It even has a setting labeled “bagel,” which cements its importance for me.” — SV

“If you have a wannabe barista on your list or a plain old coffee lover, you can’t go wrong with a Nespresso machine. It’s slim enough to find a home on just about any countertop (even my itty-bitty New York City apartment), comes in 10 gorgeous colors, and brews every type of caffeinated beverage your heart could desire. It’s a great investment—and will save you or a loved one money in the long run” — SH 

“This is my favorite 'luxury' champagne to gift. The bottles are like pieces of artwork in themselves and who doesn't love to celebrate with champagne over the Holiday season?” — Sara Holzman

"I trust Ashley Stark with just about anything home-related. Whether I need a rug, new glassware, or general interior design inspo, her curated website is my go-to. My current obsession? Her cocktail picks and wine charms. Not only have I been using them all the time (they make keeping track of drinks so easy), but they also look super chic while I drink my wine. Given how much use I get out of my set, I plan on gifting one to just about everyone I know." — SH 

"Nothing makes me feel more grown up than chic bag accessories. This nylon travel bag from Prada has a constant home in my everyday handbag because it's easy to clean, big enough to hold my products and brushes, and doesn't stand out in my bag. It's one of those gifts that someone will never buy for themselves but will become a constant part of their routine." — JM

“This is without a doubt my most used item when it comes to travel. It hold an insane amount of clothing (I can easily fit five outfits and shoes inside), making it the perfect weekend bag. I also always use this as my “personal item” when flying. It’s the best hack for getting extra outfits in my vacation rotation. Plus, it comes in so many colors, there’s something for everyone.” — SH 

“Perfect for your jet-setting friend, this chic YSL passport holder makes the perfect gift. It’s not necessarily something you would buy for yourself, but having it in your possession will ultimately upgrade your travel days. It’s a little luxury that will be very appreciated by the lucky recipient.” — SH

“As a chronic overpacker, I need luggage that’s going to fit double the amount of clothing—and accessories—as a normal one. For Hannukah this year, I plan on treating myself to the full size version. And honestly, between the zipper pockets and buckle compressions, I think I could fit my entire wardrobe in this baby.” — SH
