The Ultimate High-Low Accessories Gift Guide: Elegant Items at Every Price Point
For your friend who has good taste.
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.
$1,500 & Under
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.
