Little luxuries enhance our lives and those of our loved ones. While I don’t generally pursue it, I will admit that it feels extra special to embrace it on occasion — for myself and for those in my life. And what better time to do that than the holidays?

You don’t always have to spend a ton on luxury, and with the holiday season and holiday deals already underway, you can get some pretty cool things for less.

I perused online and selected items that I think would make great gifts for yourself and those on your list, to help elevate special occasions, no matter what they are, or, why not, the everyday.

I hope you like them and find them helpful.

Anything: shoes, belts, scarves, home, etc. Check out my Sarah Flint blog posts to learn why I love this brand and why I think it would make the perfect [luxury] gift.

IPL Permanent Hair Removal Device

This is the exact one I have. I will sing its praise till the end of time because it has made a world of difference for me.

Note that this device is suitable for women and men (as long as they’re candidates), however, always read and follow instructions. Check out my review, tips, and recommendations here. If you’re interested in the very latest version of the IPL, see it here.

I will stress this again — for the best result, it must be used consistently. *I have only ever used this brand and I trust and recommend it above any other. Before their IPL, I had used the very same epilator for 10+ years. That should tell you about the quality of their products.

luxurious beauty & fragrance

Beauty and fragrance gifts are always welcome. I have found some amazing deals so far, specifically on gift sets. I purchased this $615-value 11 full-size gift set for myself for only $90, among other things, so you know the deals are good!

*For the traveler in your life, consider gifting them this travel-perfect set.

Cashmere

There is no denying that cashmere is a classic luxury and a welcome gift for just about anyone. We generally think of women when it comes to cashmere, but it makes a luxurious gift for men also — you bet they’ll love this cashmere polo sweater and even this cashmere scarf.

If you have someone in your life who travels a lot, make it special for them with these cashmere-blend socks (these for men) and this oversized cashmere wrap (you can even monogram it) — they’ll remember you every time!

If you’re looking for a more modern and playful cashmere piece take a look at this bow-back sweater.

Leather gloves

Leather gloves have their own appeal and a certain grown-up luxury vibe. When I lived in a cold climate, wearing leather gloves always made me feel more elegant and sophisticated, and I preferred them over any other. That is why I think they make great gifts where appropriate (aka, they wouldn’t make sense for me in Florida, but they sure would be great for someone in New York).

If you’re looking for leather gloves for the men in your life, these are great, and these are looking even better (to me)!

Fine Jewelry

There is a reason fine jewelry has been around forever — because it lasts forever (with some maintenance and upkeep)! It’s also why jewelry will always be the perfect gift for anyone, and especially so for those who truly appreciate it.

The pieces below are all created with lab-grown gemstones. Ethically made, they possess the same physical and chemical properties as the gems naturally occurring underground, however, they don’t come with the costs and concerns associated with mining.
