Yes, these 9 luxury gifts will impress the person who has everything
This holiday season, commemorate style and taste with these luxury gifts.
"I have simple tastes; I'm always satisfied with the best," said Oscar Wilde — and your most particular loved ones. So, when it comes to holiday shopping for these individuals (who presumably have everything already), only the best present will do.
But what constitutes something as "the best"? Only luxury gifts, of course.
Luxury gifts are all about possessing pieces that signify rarity; nothing mainstream lands in their hand. And if it does? They started that trend. See, that candle isn't just the best candle; it's the best candle because of them. They set the example and are the reason it sold out; others merely followed their lead.
The chances are whatever luxury gifts you thought to purchase for them this holiday season: they already have. But let's be clear: all is not lost; this task only requires thinking outside the box; find pieces that are just as extraordinary and irreplaceable as these individuals.
9 luxury gifts to invest in
Are you having trouble locating such exquisite items? We are here to help. These nine luxury gifts are often imitated but never duplicated — and worth the investment.
1. Invest in this candle holder
Baccarat Harcourt My Fire Red Candlestick for $950, at Saks Fifth Avenue
Filtered by Baccarat crystal, the candle creates an enchanting atmosphere composed of three distinct crystal pieces. Uniting a tapered candlestick base with an elegant transparent light shade, this fire set surrounds a gorgeous red Harcourt goblet that serves as a votive.
2. Reach for an exceptional scent
Electric Wall Diffuser for $120, at diptyque
Sophisticated and elegant, this diptyque diffuser attaches to the wall and is unequivocally one of the best home fragrances but a satisfying alternative.
3. Elevate everyday essentials
Royal Check Enamel 2qt. Tea Kettle for $135, at Mackenzie-Childs
Transform tea time with the help of this blue and white tea kettle. Between the intricate hand-painted detailing and elegant blue glass knob, it's a yes from us.
4. Upgrade their technology
Apple 24" iMac with Retina 4.5K Display for $1,499.99, at Best Buy
Unique doesn't even begin to explain Apple's latest and most innovative desktop. Available in eight exciting shades, you can be as bold or subtle as you want. Go bright with the yellow desktop or opt for something more traditional with blue; either way, it's sure to upgrade anyone's outdated WFH-station.
5. Add a designer touch
Gucci Herbarium Porcelain Cup and Saucer (Set of 2) for $310, from MATCHESFASHION
Gucci’s eccentricity knows no limit, and this pairing is case and point. Compromised of two porcelain cups and saucers — both printed with the house's namesake floral motif — will most certainly command attention whenever used.
6. Brighten up bedding

Brighten up the best mattress with the help of this bold blanket. Showcasing Missoni's signature color scheme, this open-weave construction's wool material will keep anyone warm on repeat.

8. Elevate floral arrangements
Vista AlegreAmazōnia Black/Green/Orange 11.81" Porcelain Table Vase for $990, at Perigold
Drawing inspiration from the reforestation of the Amazon's Mato Grosso, this vase mixes contemporary and traditional concepts that will surely showcase any floral arrangement to perfect and make the most luxurious gift.
9. Reach for a coffee table book
ASSOULINE Cartier Panthere Book for $195, at Amara
Uncover the rich history of the Cartier menagerie with Cartier Panthère by Assouline.
