No matter the time of year, when it comes to shopping for the people close to me, I love to choose pieces that add a touch of luxury to their everyday lives (or whenever they use them). I'm talking about items that feel special and, despite being small in size, bring an overwhelming sense of comfort, pleasure, elegance, and joy. Little luxuries make for wonderful gifts because they allow you to spoil someone in an understated way without maxing out your spending limit.
