We all know someone who insists they don’t want anything for Christmas. They’re notoriously difficult to shop for, allergic to gesture gifts, and seem to have everything already. But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that everyone loves a thoughtfully chosen present, especially when it’s luxuriously wrapped and something they genuinely want (even if they won’t admit it).
The secret lies in finding that perfect item that speaks to their personal style, solves a problem they didn’t know they had, or adds a touch of everyday luxury to their lives (and also work as last minute gifts, too!). Ahead, we’ve put together list of luxury gifts that anyone would be thrilled to receive. And if they aren’t? Consider this our formal request to be added to your gifting list instead.
1. Goody, Two Shoes
Released as part of the Gucci Gift collection, these chic pumps are crafted from a soft black suede and feature a crystal embellished GG applique on the toe. Whether styled as part of a shimmering holiday look or with a classic blue jean and white tee, they’re perfect for the friend who loves to indulge — but just a little bit.
2. Star of the Show
These gold-tone earrings are actually dual-sided studs: a small white resin pearl on one side, gold and pavé crystal stars with a larger pearl on the other (aka: business in the front, party in the back). This is for the friend whose desk will become less for work and more for freshening their makeup between events come December.
Christian Dior earrings, $1350.
3. Nautical, But Nice
The perfect beach bag can be hard to find. This canvas tote from Nere is not only big enough for all your loved one’s summer accoutrements, but also their Christmas present haul (which you know is going to be exceptional). With nautical charm courtesy of the bold, red stripes and two detachable pouches for their immediates (eg. phone, lip balm, sunglasses), it’s a bag that will take them from beach to pool, and back again, all season long. Our advice? Get one for yourself, too.

4. Vanity Project
Versatility is the name of the game with the Longchamp Le Pliage Extra XS Vanity. Made from supple cowhide leather, it features a zip closure and a timeless, understated vanity silhouette. We’ll always award bonus points to a bag that serves more than one function, and with a detachable crossbody strap and top handle, we’re certain this bag will take your giftee from active adventures to nights out with ease.
5. Ring It Up
For the superhero lover who prefers a subtle nod to their fandom over all-out cosplay, this Marvel x Pandora ring is an excellent IYKYK. Crafted from 14-carat gold plating and featuring a brilliant, triangle-cut centre stone that resembles Iron Man’s chest element, plus a hidden engraving on the inside that reads ‘Armor Up’, this delicate ring will seamlessly slot into their ring stack.
6. Straight to It
The classic ghd straightener has been given an upgrade with this new-gen Chronos hair tool. It promises three-times faster styling, long-lasting results and improved heat control that aims to prevent damage while curling and straightening. Wrapped in a rich cherry hue and with ceramic floating plates that have an ultra-gloss finish, it also comes in a travel-inspired case that makes storage a breeze.
7. Linked In
Okay, so this one is not for the Kris Kringle (unless you’re feeling really generous), but rather for your own wish list. Made from Tiffany & Co.’s signature gauge links, the chunky HardWear chain bracelet is forged in 18-carat gold and designed to be an everyday piece that becomes an heirloom.
Tiffany & Co. bracelet, $23,200.
8. Cuffing Season
The Chanel Première cuff watch has been given a summer twist with pink- and red-toned leather straps interlacing the black-coated steel-chain. The Première watch was first released in 1987 and marked the brand’s foray into women’s watchmaking. The iconic octagonal shape is inspired by Chanel’s house codes and evokes the stopper of the N°5 perfume bottle.
9. Cast A Shadow
Party looks come courtesy of Prada this year. Available in six colour stories, each Dimensions Eye Shadow palette includes everyday shades and eccentric pops of colour. The four buttery-soft eyeshadows can be blended into a blown-out smoky eye or swiped on for a subtle wash of colour. Dip into the brighter shade with an angled brush to create a sharp winged liner.
Prada Beauty Dimensions Eye Shadow, $155.
10. Case Studies
When Louis Vuitton launched its La Beauté line earlier this year, it was to the delight of all the fashion and beauty lovers on your gift list. Along with the beauty products, the brand released mini versions of its iconic leather and monogrammed pieces: trunks, hat boxes and cosmetic cases just big enough to stash a single lipstick. Made from Tender Bliss Epi leather and with a chain attached, this one also transforms into a luxe bag charm.
Louis Vuitton lipstick pouch, $965.
11. Hear Me Out
Almost everyone you know has a pair of Loop earplugs — and that one person who doesn’t? Well, these are for them. In celebration of its 130th anniversary, Swarovski is welcoming seven brands into its Creators Lab, one of which is — you guessed it — Loop. The ideal gift for a fashion-forward concert lover, each pair of Swarovski x Loop earplugs is hand-embellished with six crystals, making them equally useful and festive.
Swarovski x Loop earplugs, $149.
12. Yes, Coach
First released as part of Coach’s spring 2024 presentation, this limited-edition Tabby Shoulder Bag 26 updates the 1970s silhouette with quilted, ultra-plush Nappa leather and an adaptable chain strap woven with black leather. Finished with Coach’s signature ‘C’ hardware, and with a strap that goes from crossbody to shoulder, it’s the kind of bag that carries all the essentials (plus a few extras) and still looks sleek enough for evening.
