Probably This Picks Holiday Gifting Guide 2023: Luxe Edition
In our stocking stuffers gift guide, we shared with you our favorite no-pressure, little-something-extra gifts. In our $100 and under gift guide, I went into too much detail on how I set parameters on gifting, especially with close friends, and shared a list of wonderful high quality gifts you could get someone you love that wouldn’t drain your checking account.
For today’s gift guide: buckle up, because we’re going for high impact. Within reason, of course. Nothing on this list is over $368. These are gifts to get a lover, a best friend or someone you’re hoping to convince to become either of those things.
The below round-up has beautifully made, useful gifts for anyone you want to spoil this year. I think it’s worth noting a gift high in monetary value is absolutely not necessary to show someone you love them.
If any of the below items are out of your budget, there are plenty of unique, homemade gifts you can give that would make the receiver feel loved and seen. Sometimes the simplest gifts make the biggest impact.
And with that, let’s splurge. I think my favorite on this list is the Crosley C6 Turntable. It’s something not everyone would think to buy for themselves given most of us listen to music on our phones, sometimes with the addition of a Bluetooth speaker. But for anyone who loves music or nostalgia or both, a record player would make a beautiful gift. To make it even more personal, I would accompany it with one or two of the receiver’s favorite albums for that extra personal touch.
The same goes for everything on this list. I encourage you to think about how some of these pricier items can be paired with something smaller to make the gift unique to each recipient on your list.
Can you pair the beautiful Anthropologie Haden x Bistro Toaster with a loaf of the recipient’s most favorite bread from that one cheese and wine shop the two of you always visit together?
Would your insomniac friend just absolutely love it if you paired the Hatch Alarm Clock with a luxurious silk sleep mask?
Think along those lines, shop the list below, and be generous with your faves this holiday season.
