What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. A set of four vintage-style botanical prints for anyone who loves the feel of old-timey science classrooms and who also can keep zero real plants alive.
2. An ~appearling~ light that'll make anyone clam up with emotion when they open it. The pearl *changes colors*, and you can even pop it out of the shell and carry it with you!
3. A pair of pink coupe glasses with a gold rim so even their $5 bottle of bubbles can taste a little like Veuve Cliquot.
4. Wood grain noise-isolating earbuds for anyone who is ALWAYS losing theirs. These look stylish enough that they'll always know where they are, but are actually cheap enough that they can replace them if need be.
*Or* (for a little bit more than your $25 budget) a set of snazzy-looking and surprisingly affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds so they can jam out to their favorite tunes, nod thoughtfully at their go-to podcast, or simply call into all their Zoom meetings with great sound clarity (and no background noise). These also come with a couple of sizes of buds so you can ensure a secure — and comfortable — fit.
5. A bar of quadruple-milled, shea butter-infused French ~savon~ to soften, rather than dry out, their skin — it's time to send that boring soap down the drain.
6. A pair of ice-rolling globes that'll be like an at-home facial treatment, but for way less $$$. They can keep them in the fridge or freezer *or* even warm them up in hot water!
7. A pretty celestial journal (hello, gold foil stars) to inspire short and sweet daily reflections. There are only a few lines per day, so use them well!
8. A short and silky robe made for lounging around, getting ready, and listening to some Sinatra.
9. A gorgeous textured travel wallet to store their cash, boarding pass, passport, credit cards, and more — all while looking like a chic mini clutch.
10. Touchscreen leather gloves so beautiful, whoever opens them will immediately break into a (gloved) round of applause. Aaaand they're lined with a cashmere blend.
11. An eight-piece measuring set to create a gorge and 'Gram-worthy flat lay during your next baking adventure.
12. A made-in-Italy diamond-cut decanter for drinking-at-an-ad-agency-in-the-'60s vibes but at a drinking-the-bottle-of-scotch-I-stole-from-my-parents price.
13. A pair of oversized square sunnies for anyone you know who *has* to be on trend — without you paying a designer price. These scream "no photos please!" — but also look really great in photos, tbh.
14. Press for Champagne, a fizzy little guide to what the famous sparkling wine is, where it comes, from and tips for enjoying it so your loved one can ~expand their palate~.
15. A gold scratch-off map for any travel enthusiast who doesn't just want a boring old *regular* wall map. They can scratch off the coating to reveal a brightly colored underneath to mark off where they've been.
16. An plush faux fur and sherpa blanket designed to look like sumptuous faux fur, because your home is your castle, and winter is coming.
17. A set of gold and agate cheese utensils, because cheese is basically food gold, and their selection deserves to be spread with the best.
18. And a stylish bamboo cheese board (with a cutting board on the other side!) to make any Trader Joe's cheese platter look like it was put together by Martha Stewart.
19. An 18-karat gold-plated delicate crescent moon pendant with chunky gray stones for a stunning everyday piece that says "I love you to the moon and back."
20. A gorgeous velvet mini jewelry case so they can pack their favorite key pieces in a safe and sound (and stylish!) way for a ~flying first class~ feeling wherever they go.
21. A brushed metallic Rubik's cube-style puzzle that'll be a two-in-one gift: challenging game (the cube segments aren't all the same size!) and interestingly attractive desk tchotchke.
22. A just-the-right-size planner with a stately faux leather cover, tabbed sections, gold foiling, and weekly and monthly sections so they at least feel like their life is in order. Mood.
23. A generously sized, loop-through faux fur stole to make the most bundled-up winter outfit look old Hollywood glam.
24. A gold-plated dog collar, because your pup's stocking deserves to be overflowing with fanciness too!
25. A hardcover clothbound edition of Persuasion, (what is IMO Austen's most underrated novel), because Wentworth's letter deserves to be read in a fancy, pretty edition like this.
26. A multipack of minimal yet statement-making earrings to complete any all black everything #OOTD.
27. A three-pack of lightweight contoured eye masks that'll block light without ever pressing down on their eyelashes, guaranteeing a more restful night's sleep. Sadly does not come with a butler and breakfast in bed.
28. Or a comfy cotton eye mask inspired by Andy Warhol's famous painting of Marilyn Monroe for the person who's a *work of art*, even when they're asleep. Not a fan of Marilyn? There are 30(!) different art-inspired designs to choose from, like The Birth of Venus, Frida Kahlo, and Rembrandt.
29. A sleek, water-resistant watch with quartz movement and faux leather strap. They'll keep checking the time just to get a glimpse of this beauty!
30. A lace bralette and undies set for your S.O. — you'll look like you dropped hundreds at a ritzy lingerie store.
31. Ugg-like faux fur-lined slippers their butler can bring to them on a silver platter in the morning (or ya know, they can fetch themselves).
32. Or a pair of velvety plush slide-on slippers (perfect for year-round use) that'll make walking around their home, doing chores, or fetching a snack feel just a little more luxe. They're suuuuper cushy, but won't overheat their tootsies!

34. A set of four faceted shot glasses that'll make a gorgeous statement sitting out on any bar cart.

36. A pack of six decks of playing cards (you can keep some for yourself or stock up for stocking stuffers!) made with black, silver, and gold foil for at-home poker nights that are more luxurious than the swankiest five-star hotel and casino in Vegas.
37. A three-wick Voluspa candle so fancy I don't even know where to begin — with the iconic black-and-gold tin or the scent, which is a blend of sparkling Champagne with notes of oak and vanilla?
38. A satin pillowcase for a practical AND luxe gift. These can help maintain hair health even as they sleep, reducing frizz and breakage when compared with regular cotton or other fiber pillowcases — that means longer-lasting blowouts and less damage in the long run.
39. A gold-trimmed box of Earl Grey that'll make them feel like they're having high tea at Buckingham Palace. Pro tip: This makes for an adorable gift wrap if you stick a couple of other tiny gifts inside the tin along with the tea!
40. A metallic Bluetooth speaker with 15-hour playback, loud, crystal-clear high-def sound, and a compact size that packs a punch, so they can display it on a bookshelf, their mantel, or simply pack it in their bag for Jams on the Go.

46. A faux sheepskin they can use as a little area rug by the bed or simply draped over a chair or ottoman for some interior design mag-style for under $25.
47. A trio of LED flameless candles with embedded string lights and a realistic flickering "flame" for a combination of the two best things: elegance and laziness — they can even set them to automatically shut off after a few hours.
48. An insulated, marbleized water bottle designed to keep water cold for a stylish reason to stay hydrated.
49. A five-piece set of rose gold makeup brushes with super soft, densely packed synthetic hairs designed to create a flawless and airbrushed final look. You know they'll look really cool sitting out on the vanity or bathroom counter.
