We all have that one friend or loved one who has wildly expensive taste… but has also done so much for us over the years that they, naturally, deserve an expensive (wildly or not) gift for the holidays. Perhaps it’s your mom‘s first year being retired, and you want nothing more than to celebrate her achievements with a pricey gift that she’ll be able to incorporate into her interior design — or closet — in no time. Or your best friends just got married, an occasion that merits a Christmas present to commemorate their love and top off whatever you grabbed from their registry (so what if it’s in the three figures? Love is priceless).

If any of these scenarios apply to you or you’re just itching for a worthy enough self-gift after all the curveballs 2025 threw at you, our editors, who know a thing or two about luxury, are here to suggest 10 distinct gift ideas over $1,000, spanning fashion, premium beauty, home decor, fancy subscription services, and more.

Perfect for collectors, connoisseurs of the fine things in life, or anyone who’s repelled by gifts that simply don’t go the extra mile (think pre-loaded gift cards, yet another whiskey stones set, or a weighted blanket for someone who’s never before expressed their desire to own one), these carefully curated gifts are nothing short of precious, in many cases being heirlooms that will be able to travel down many generations — firmly setting in stone your title of “Gift Giver of the Year,” in perpetuity.

And while the clock is ticking in terms of shopping for pieces that can make it to their (or your) door in time for Christmas morning, most of the selections we picked out will, indeed, arrive not fashionably late this time but on the dot. Because people who love luxury hate waiting: We don’t make the rules.

Below, the best-in-class luxury gifts over $1,000 for your fanciest friend. Once they receive your token of appreciation, you’ll be friends for life.

Chloé Paddington Bag

Standard delivery within five business days

$2,450

Buy Now at net-a-porter

We deemed Chloé’s Paddington one of the hottest handbags of fall 2025 for a reason. The reissued satchel is back after first debuting on the fashion house’s spring 2005 runway, and, dare we say, it’s better than ever (as well as fresh off a long waitlist). Benefitting from an east-west silhouette, the most exquisite leather composition, and Chloé’s instantly identifiable padlock, this is the purse your wife is missing. You’re welcome in advance.

$2,515

Buy Now at abask

Abask is an e-commerce marketplace dealing in only the most exquisite of items across tableware, home textiles, and even ready-to-wear clothing — which can be sorted by the four core Abask aesthetics (Bohemian, Modernist, Minimalist, and Classic). As part of a recently unveiled holiday partnership, the platform has teamed up with Wildflower Farms, Auberge Collection on an edit of hand-selected Abask offerings that can not only be shopped online but are also appearing as part of the upstate New York property’s programming for a limited time. This travel-sized Cigar Travel Backgammon Set from premium board game brand Alexandra Llewellyn is just one of such products; being crafted out of precious materials like calf leather, tiger’s eye, and marble, it’s not only a sight to behold (peep those Cuban cigar illustrations) but will also come in handy for many late-night backgammon rituals.

“Don’t miss the weighted doubling cube,” Abask says in marketing copy, “a detail that ensures cheating is a no-go.”

And if it’s top-shelf skin care they’re perpetually after, nothing could rival Guerlain’s The Regenerescence Ritual Set. The Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile Serum and Cream found inside work overtime to boost skin rejuvenation, which your gift recipient will soon be able to spot by way of how lifted, plump, smooth, and radiant their complexion looks after consistent use. For bonus points, Guerlain treats customers to a gua sha tool here, encouraging regular lymphatic drainage — a trending wellness category right now — as part of skin care.

Shani Darden by Déesse Pro LED Light Mask

Delivery by December 19, 2025

$1,900

Buy Now at sephora

Yes, celebrity esthetician Shani Darden, who’s treated the likes of Jessica Alba, Shay Mitchell, and Chrissy Teigen, has her own skin care line. And yes, shopping from it for a loved one — particularly this leading LED face mask — is practically a mandate at this point. The gadget stands out from the light therapy crowd based on the fact that it comes with a special neck piece, making sure the user’s décolletage area is also treated to benefits like firming, fine-line smoothing, and an uptick in collagen production. It’s comfortable, it’s lightweight, and it features over 200 LED lights for targeted, cellular-level skin improvements without ever leaving home (and the couch specifically).

Bottega Veneta Small Intrecciato Dog Leash

Next business day delivery for orders placed by 12:30 p.m. EST

$1,100

Buy Now at bottega veneta

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and the way to a dog lover’s heart is through a gift that has nothing to do with them and everything to do with Fido. We suggest leaving holiday-themed Lamb Chops in the past, though, and sticking to something both unique and opulent this holiday season. Enter: Bottega Veneta’s very own dog leash, made from the same kind of Intrecciato calfskin leather that bedecks the label’s most famous tote bags, duffels, and other catchalls. Its Parakeet coloring will also ensure the beloved canine is easier to spot, all while, obviously, making him the neighborhood’s chicest dresser.

Ferragamo Oversize Asymmetrical Coat

Expected to ship within three to five business days (standard delivery = four to six business days after order has shipped)

$3,400

Buy Now at ferragamo

Staying warm becomes a universal objective once December rolls around, and there’s no better way to attain the feeling than by wrapping oneself in the (elevated) embrace of a Ferragamo virgin wool coat. This one fuses softness with structure, flaunting a cape-like collar that will spare its wearer from the need to haul around a separate scarf — while infusing their ensemble with utter drama. Other components of the outerwear bestseller to get excited for? Its chevron patterning, waist-cinching powers, and kimono sleeves for making a true sartorial statement.

To seal things off with some fragrant florals, there’s the collaboration Venus et Fleur x Ginori 1735 Eternity Roses set for the taking, which consists of 16 long-stemmed, preserved roses that smell like the real deal and will look fresh for over a year. But the marquee event here is undoubtedly the elegant vase the blooms are housed inside, marked by an Oriente Italiano print from Ginori 1735: a porcelain master that has been producing objets d’art for close to, you guessed it, 300 years.
