This Season's Most Luxurious Gifts, From Handbags to Eyewear
When the holidays come around and gifting skyrockets to the number one position on everyone's priority list, it's crucial to come up with a strategy before you actually buy anything. Are you eyeing something customizable? How about a personalized piece of jewelry? Are you planning on sticking to just fashion, just beauty, or just wellness gifts? We've got those categories checked off too. Only shopping for yourself this holiday season? (We don't blame you.) Here are a few perfect gifts that you will undoubtedly cherish.
If, by chance, you want to go all out in the gifting department this year, shopping both for yourself and the people you love most without any sort of price restraint, you've come to the exact right place. Below, you'll find 33 gifts that don't whisper but scream luxury, from Italian dinnerware to leopard-print pillbox hats. There's also designer eyewear, jewelry destined to become a family heirloom, work-of-art footwear, and handbags that everyone around you will wish they were lucky enough to unwrap. Sure, it's a bit opulent and excessive at times, but hey, find me a person who doesn't want a facial in a bottle or a perfume that's guaranteed to make passersby stop in their tracks. I'll wait.
Without further ado, feast on this holiday season's most luxurious gifts.
I've been using Parfums de Marly's Delina scent for years now and receive an almost alarming nuber of compliments on it. The only perfume I actually think might beat it out is this Valaya scent by the same brand. It has top notes of bergamot, mandarin, and white peach, and an ethereal, feminine sense to it. Plus, it's on sale right now, which almost never happens.
If you, like me, have always been curious about the "vampire" facial, this product by lauded Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Jason B. Diamond, MD, FACS, is for you. It's not cheap, but it is a lot cheaper than a PRP facial and far less of a commitment. I've been using it for a little over a week now and am already seeing results.
Find someone who won't break down in (happy, grateful, and joyous) tears upon receiving a pair of Maysales. I'll wait.
