25 Luxe Gifts For The Favorite People On Your List

After the year and a half that we’ve had, your favorite people deserve the best holiday presents. You know, the type of luxury gifts that even the woman who says she wants nothing will appreciate.

But, luxe doesn’t have to mean expensive. In fact, many of the picks on this list are under $100. Instead of price, it’s about opulent-feeling (cozy, plush, soft) fabrics, thoughtful gifts (read: personalized), elevated versions of wardrobe essentials that your giftee will never get for themselves, and, most importantly, pampering presents that will help them indulge in some self-care to start 2022 in a more relaxed state.

With that in mind, ahead, the best gifts for the luxe-loving (and deserving) people on your list.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

PatBO Athletic Apparel

Print-forward brand PatBo, known for its cutout dresses worn by celebrities everywhere, has launched its first collection of athletic apparel this month. Among its luxe offerings — made from recycled fabrics with moisture-wicking technology — are on-trend items like bike shorts, skorts, and, of course, cutout tops.

PatBo Rio Print Biker Short, $, available at PatBO

Hermès Lipstick

While $70 is a lot to pay for a single lipstick, a gift from Hermès beauty collection is the ultimate pick for the luxury beauty lover. It’s also a lot more affordable than any of the accessory offerings from the heritage house.

Hermès 71 Orange Brûlé Rouge Matte Lipstick, $, available at Nordstrom

Girlfriend Collective Canopy Dream Robe

“Luxuriously soft,” this robe comes courtesy of our favorite sustainable (and size-inclusive) brand.

Tom Ford Coffee Table Book

Rizzoli ‘Tom Ford 002’ Book, $, available at Amazon

Nails Of LA Press-Ons

Give the gift of at-home pampering with these easy-to-apply (and remove!) press-on nails from celebrity manicurist Brittney Boyce. This abstract set is named after Refinery29’s very own Beauty Director, Sara Tan.

Apparis Faux Fur Scarf

If Apparis’ incredibly soft faux fur coat is outside of your holiday price budget, opt for the scarf version of the plush style that likewise comes in a variety of colors.

Acqua Di Parma x Emilio Pucci Candle

The most luxe candle of the season is the result of a collaboration between luxury fragrance house Acqua Di Parma and print-forward Italian fashion house Emilio Pucci.

Sheertex Argyle Tights

Made from “unbreakable” fiber, these tights — that, as the name suggests, can withstand any pulling and tugging — come with a 30-day warranty. We also love the argyle print on this pair.

Bychari Ring

After Michelle Obama wore Bychari’s “vote” necklace at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, sales for the piece skyrocketed. We love these stackable rings from the brand for the minimalists in our lives.

Sézane Personalized T-Shirt

French Girl fashion brand Sézane offers subtle personalization on everything from a tee and a Breton shirt to a button-down and jean jacket.

Everlane Teddy Slipper

As some of us continue to work from home, this gift — a pair of teddy slippers made from recycled materials — will actually be put to use in 2022.

Collina Strada Embellished Water Bottle

For those who have returned to their cubicles, this embellished water bottle, from sustainably minded NYFW designer Collina Strada, will serve as a great conversation-starter at the water fountain.

Brooklinen Silk Pillowcase

Created to protect the sleeper’s skin and hair from friction damage, a silk pillow is a luxe gift that some may hesitate to get themselves. Which is why you should get it for them.

Brooklinen Mulberry Silk Pillowcase, $, available at Brooklinen

Is there anything more thoughtful than a custom-made piece? Gemist makes the process a breeze, with materials ranging from diamonds and gemstones to Swarovski ceramic stones, and jewelry options in every price point.

Tanya Taylor Napkin Set

Tanya Taylor is the latest fashion designer to delve into home goods with a collection of printed napkins, placemats, and pillows that also come in matching apparel options. I just bought a table runner from the brand for the upcoming holiday season and have my eye on the matching placemats next.
