    1. A set of four vintage-style botanical prints for anyone who loves the feel of old-timey science classrooms and who can also keep zero real plants alive.

    The four prints

    2. 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.

    3. 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!

    4. A pair of pink coupe glasses with a gold rim so even their $5 bottle of bubbles can taste a little like Veuve Clicquot.

    The glasses

    5. 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.

    The earbuds

    6. *Or* 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.

    7. A beautiful candle inspired by a statue of a veiled woman (which you might recognize from Pemberley's sculpture garden in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice). Although your giftee might not want to burn it, you can customize it with any of 21 different scents — or go unscented!

    The gray candle

    8. 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.

    The colorful soap bars

    9. An electric lighter (with the giftee's specific zodiac sign emblazoned on the front) for all the ~cool vibes~ of an old-school lighter, but all the modern convenience of electricity. No fuel to replace!

    The gold lighter with "aries" on the front in lavender with mushrooms around it

    10. 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!

    The journal with a starlike cover print

    11. A satin PJ tank with polkadot lace trim on the sides and neckline, and an adjustable tie at the back for a ~custom~ fit. They'll think you splurged at a fancy pajama store, but you'll only spend 20 bucks.

    14. 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!

    The two golden globes with black silicone sleeves

    15. A gorgeous textured travel wallet to store their cash, boarding pass, passport, credit cards, and more — all while looking like a chic mini clutch.

    16. 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.

    17. A gold-plated corkscrew for ~birds of a feather~ who both just really love wine.

    The corkscrew

    18. A set of four gold disco ball tumblers that'll only allow someone to drink from them if '70s tunes are playing in the background. That's the way (uh-huh, uh-huh) they like it (uh-huh, uh-huh).

    Hands holding the tumbler with straw

    19. Or (and!) a disco ball hanging planter for really glamming up their space. And bonus: Anytime the light hits it, they've got an instant party AND will remember to actually water their plant.

    20. An eight-piece measuring set to create a gorge and 'Gram-worthy flat lay during your next baking adventure.

    The measuring cups and spoons with baking ingredients

    The jar of dried flower mix tipped over to show the contents

    22. 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.

    The crystal decanter with rocks glass

    23. A pair of oversize 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.

    41. 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.

    52. 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.
