The Ultimate Luxury Lifestyle Gift Guide
There are certain implements that contribute significant value to the pursuit of a pleasureful and purposeful life. These gift ideas, with options for all genders, are perfect for those who value a luxury lifestyle.
Gifting can seem like an arduous task, but it doesn't have to be an exhausting process. Keeping a list of infallible essentials will make it easy to select thoughtful gifts that your loved ones will actually use and appreciate.
The key to smart gifting is to opt for classic goods with universal appeal — items with a chic aesthetic that fit easily into anyone's lifestyle. For the cultivated individual, you may want to be more discerning by choosing sophisticated gifts that indulge their sense and sensibility.
If you know someone well, don’t be afraid to gift bespoke or size-dependent items like apparel or jewelry. However, you may want to pass on foodstuffs given different dietary restrictions. Giving cash raises the hard-to-answer question of how much so should be reserved for someone who specifically requests it, as well as gift cards as they are too generic if you are catering to a luxury enthusiast.
Timeless, tangible items are your best bet, and below is a curated set of gender-inclusive ideas to consider. Use your discretion when determining which type of gift is most appropriate. For instance, the more specific and expensive gifts should be for close personal relationships, when you know the individual well and deem them to be worth investing in.
