High-End Presents to Please Even the Pickiest Person
These modern-meet-classic gifts will impress long after the decorations come down.
This holiday season, we’re going beyond the usual suspects with gifts that will speak to the hardest person to shop for in your life: style-savvy tastemakers with a discerning eye. Think sculptural fine jewelry for the one who knows their cabochons from their brilliant cuts, the latest waitlisted It-bag, and the kind of luxe, cozy essentials that will turn anyone into a homebody. These thoughtful, fashion-editor-vetted gifts will continue to make an impact long after the festivities wind down.
For the design lover who appreciates the art of living, gift design-infused pieces that blend fashion and artistry. Think quirky, animal-inspired bean chairs from Bottega Veneta to sleek, sculptural glass candlesticks.
If the person you're shopping for has a talent for bringing people together—complete with perfectly roasted chicken and expertly crafted martinis—these gifts, like luxe bathroom soaps and whimsical decanters, will guarantee you a coveted spot at the next gathering.
Dazzle a discerning eye who knows the nuances between carat weight and cut—and ensure you’ll always be in their good graces with these timeless trinkets.
For that friend or family member who always plans an impromptu trip to Paris or some other enviable destination, a beautifully crafted bag or jet setting accessory is the stylish travel companion that truly keeps on giving.
For the person who cherishes quiet nights or the homebody who lives for an early bedtime, treat them to chic creature comforts like ultra-soft cashmere pajamas, shearling-lined slippers, and luxe candles to enhance their hibernation.
