Let’s be honest, 2021 hasn’t been quite what we were expecting (the fairytale upgrade from the year before). Sadly, it’s our mental health that has taken a particular knock… again. So, as the year draws to a close, we’re all looking at Christmas as the saving grace and a chance to really switch off (no pressure Santa) – albeit in a different way to normal.
While the festive season is about so much more than gifts – especially with many of us living under more financial pressures than ever before – there are still plenty of people looking to splash out on the special people in their lives. And we’re pretty sure they’d be ecstatic to find one of the best luxury Christmas gifts of 2021 underneath the tree.
If money is no object, handbags are always appreciated, and gifting the Bottega Veneta Jodie bag will be sure to get you on Santa’s nice list. For the shoe lover in your life, shoes from brand-of-the-moment Manolo Blahnik make the perfect gift – but be warned, they sell out fast. Another fashionista’s dream gift? A pair of Olivia Von Halle pyjamas is perfect for the festive season. We can pretty much guarantee ecstatic squeals as your loved one unwraps them. That said, if you’re shopping for someone who appreciates boujee gifts for their interiors, this Loewe blanket might make a better bet. Isn’t she delightful?
Scroll further and you’ll see that we also have luxury beauty gifts covered – from a vibrating rose quartz roller (perfect for when facials aren’t a feasible option) to the Le Labo scent that will stop people in their tracks. If you’re looking to splash out on the fashion fiend in your life, we love the Gucci GG belt, and it doesn’t get chicer than a Fendi water bottle, darling.
If you find yourself wanting to gift someone with champagne taste but you’re on more of a beer budget, fear not, we have you covered too. Our luxury gift guide also includes picks below the £100 mark – like the sexiest salt and pepper shakers we ever did see, courtesy of Anissa Kermiche of the female body vases. Cosy striped socks from influencer favourite GANNI and this beautiful St. Moritz Chic book are also safe bets to satisfy both the luxe lover in your life and a tighter budget.
After more Christmas content? Get stocked up on Christmas pyjamas, Christmas hampers full of delicious goodies and Christmas wreaths to deck the halls. Between you and us, we’ve also spent a considerable amount of time researching Christmas decorations which we think you might like to take a peak at (even if your decs are long up) – plus, we can’t even blame being stuck at home for our early indulgence of Christmas flicks (admittedly we do it every year).
