I spend a lot of time looking at my favorite designers and brands’ social media and ad campaigns, making mental (and virtual) wishlists of the items I’d most love to unwrap on my next birthday. Footwear, makeup, bath products: you name it, I’ve got it on a gift list somewhere! Since I know I’m not the only woman who does this as a form of aspiration and entertainment, I’ve curated a list of ten high-end gifts that I know any woman in your life would be more than happy to receive.
Tabitha Large Feather Embellished Clutch — Michael Kors
$358
A clutch is the ultimate symbol of sophistication: the perfect addition to any gorgeous evening or event look. The Michael Kors Tabitha Clutch in black is a party all on its own, best suited to the woman who keeps her looks chic and understated. Wisps of real feather add movement and a little whimsy to a classically shaped clutch. Use the golden chain to wear the bag over your shoulder or hide it away in the bag to function as a clutch.
Nourishing Eye & Face Cream Duo — Fresh
$204
What could be a better gift than the gift of a flawless face? This Creme Ancienne duo from highly acclaimed skincare brand Fresh is the queen of all skincare gift sets and offers the user the chance to reveal a smooth, intensely nourished complexion. A decadent pairing of products, these creams work in tandem: one to firm up and diminish visible puffiness around the eyes and the other to smooth out lines, improve skin stability, and nourish the rest of the face. What more could a woman ask for?
Women’s VV 006 Orb Black Leather Watch — Vivienne Westwood
$168.75
A classic black strap and a suitably Vivienne Westwood-esque face on a gold-framed timepiece is a great addition to any look. While Vivienne is known for her slightly punk and edgy designs, this one is paired back enough to work well with jeans and a tee, or a date night look — whichever takes your fancy. The little charm attached to the face adds a pleasant jingle and a little extra shimmer.
Scuffette II | UGG
$95
Who says you can’t be cute even when you’re cozy? A pair of UGG Scuffette II slippers is an ideal gift for the woman who loves comfort but values the aesthetic appeal of every piece of clothing and footwear she owns. This chic and soft pair of slippers is available in seven hues, but we love the classic chestnut the most.
Italian Wool Blend Tailored Single Breasted Maxi Coat — Karen Millen
$507.20
Drape her in splendor and Italian wool. This calf-length Karen Millen coat — in a subtle camel hue — features the most luxurious components: virgin wool, merino, tweed, and boucle. As the weather turns colder still, getting her the coat of the season is a great way to say “I love you.” The silhouette is classic and timeless, including a belted waist, exposed hardware, and pleated panels.
2-in-1 Contouring Iron Pro — Cloud Nine
$275.06
If your lady heat styles her hair and loves a healthy, long-lasting do, this is the ultimate straightening iron. This classic Cloud Nine iron allows the user to straighten or curl for long-lasting results. The temperature control and Revive Mode will keep her hair smooth and shining even if used on a daily basis.
Peony & Blush Suede Scented Home Candle — Jo Malone
$38 – $540
Lighting a scented candle at home is a time-honored way of relaxing and indulging in some “me time.” Since life is so busy, it’s hardly a surprise that this has become a mainstay in many women’s self-care routines and a ritual that women worldwide embrace. Jo Malone does scented candles better than anyone and I particularly love the Peony and Blush Suede scent. Subtle, floral, and lighter than air — it’s the perfect choice.
Black Opium Perfume- YSL
$96.99
A scent is part of a person’s signature: the things that mark who they are and the face they present to the world. Black Opium is a classic, as scents go, from YSL. The gorgeous fragrance simply screams luxury and will leave everyone in her life dazzled by her superb taste in perfume.
Addict Lipstick — Dior
$45
What’s better than a Dior lipstick? A Dior lipstick that comes in 58 shades and is refillable! Dior Addict is a refined choice for a woman who likes her makeup to not only look good but also feel wonderful. With ingredients of 90% natural origins and a couture holster that is a piece of artwork in its own right, this lipstick is more than just a beauty product.
Soleste V Ring — Tiffany and Co
$2800 – $2950
What they say is true: diamonds are a girl’s best friend! The ultimate gift, and one that can last a lifetime, is a Tiffany Ring. The V-ring from the Soleste collection is elegant, understated, and timeless: a perfect combination when it comes to choosing a long-term gift. Choose from 18k rose gold, 18k gold, or platinum encrusted with a slew of gorgeous, glittering, brilliant cut diamonds and shaped in a pointed v; this ring is a gift above all others.
Gifting Goals
Choosing any of these ten high-end gifts will undoubtedly endear you (a little more than usual, I’d say) to the extraordinary women in your life. Making her feel as special as you know she is is a gift in itself, but I know she’d love any of these selections.
