9 Editor-Approved Luxe Gifts That Will Elevate Your Holiday Gifting

The Miss Dior fragrance family may trace its roots back to 1947, but Miss Dior Essence gives the iconic scent a decidedly modern, more magnetic edge. Imagined by Dior Parfums Creation Director, Francis Kurkdjian, this intensified interpretation channels a powerful, captivating femininity through gourmand, sensual accords. A jammy blend of blackberry and elderflower brightens a wildly luxurious jasmine bouquet, while dense, enveloping woody oak grounds the composition with warmth and depth. The result is a playful yet bold chypre — one that feels like a vivid brushstroke across a floral olfactory canvas. True to its heritage, Miss Dior Essence reimagines the original bottle with a frosted houndstooth motif and a black grosgrain poignard bow handcrafted in France, giving the modern formulation an equally timeless presentation.

We consider good glassware to be one of those things they'd never buy for themselves — which is why it’s also the ultimate luxury gift. These champagne glasses make their mimosas feel a little more special, since they’re etched with small butterflies (even on the base). Plus, they come in Tiffany & Co.'s signature blue box, making unwrapping them even more of a treat.

A gas-station lighter itself isn't exactly special, but this lighter case — which is embedded with colorful glass cabochons and fits a full-size lighter — can make it feel like a tiny work of art. We recommend pairing it with a candle to round it out for the person who has everything, since they probably don’t have this.

We love anything in which form meets function, and nothing does that better than this hair accessory. Instead of their basic drugstore elastic, this wrap’s sleek, rounded shape (plated in 18-karat gold or silvery rhodium) gives instant polish to any ponytail, braid, or half-up style, all while keeping it secure.

This pedestal-inspired vessel takes the average candle to the next level. It fills the space with a festive, invigorating scent of fir, balsam, winter rose, and cedarwood. And while the two-wick medium size is nice, the gigantic five-wick size is a serious showstopper — perfect for the friend who just moved into a new apartment.

It's nice to have a warm blanket, but a super-soft texture makes it that much better. The faux fur (on both sides!) feels almost buttery, and the rich red color adds a pop of color to any room. Plus, it won't shed, is stain-resistant, and can go in the washing machine, which makes it perfect for anyone with kids, pets, or just a very well-loved couch.

Jewelry can be an intimate gift, but that's the beauty of it. This minimalist pendant is inspired by shifting sand dunes and comes with a shortening ring so they can adjust the length to their preference. The only hard part is choosing between the silver plating or 14-karat gold.

Silk pajamas are capital-F fancy without being fussy; in fact, they’re lightweight, comfy, and naturally thermoregulating — so they stay cool at night if your giftee tends to run hot. Plus, this set is made with the brand's washable mulberry silk, which feels as good on skin as it looks.

If you're going to gift a hand cream, make it this one, which is our hands-down favorite. The refillable jar has a sculptural design that looks pretty enough to display on a nightstand, and the formula itself — a fragrance-free, retinol-infused hand cream — feels nourishing but never greasy.
