There is nothing more luxurious than the feeling of new sheets. These cozy cashmere ones would make a perfect winter gift for the homebody who treats their bed like their temple.
Brooklinen Heathered Cashmere Core Sheet Set, $, available at Brooklinen
Personalized Lip Balm
While these lip balms have gone viral, and for a good reason — they are fun to personalize, they are great at hydrating the lips, and they make for a thoughtful gift — you don’t have to fly to Paris and wait in line to get your hands on one.
Another gift I loved receiving this year was this body wash-and-lotion set, which features the same scent as my go-to perfume. It made my everyday shower routine feel like a spa treatment. I was genuinely sad when I used the shower gel to the last drop.
Byredo Le Corps Mojave Ghost Body Wash & Body Lotion Gift Set, $, available at Bloomingdale's
Candle
Don’t have the financial means to take your jet-setting bestie to Greece? Transport them to Mykonos — or Ibiza, Marrakech, or Tulum — mentally via this candle. Tip: Keep the holder that makes for fun decor and a knickknack container when you're done burning the candle.
Assouline Mykonos Muse Travel From Home Candle, $, available at Shopbop
Sweater
No artist has exploded more into the mainstream’s consciousness in 2024 than Chappell Roan. Mark the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess era with a sweater from Lingua Franca, the brand known for its high-quality sweaters with witty sayings. For the ultimate luxe pick, consider using Lingua Franca's custom service, which can transform your photos or hand-drawn pictures into embroidered designs.

Alternatively, you can get the brand’s Glow Stick Sunscreen, which can fit in any stocking and purse and be used for on-the-go applications.
Supergoop! SPF Bestsellers Starter Set, $, available at Sephora
Sneakers
After being introduced to APL’s Zipline sneakers a few years ago, they are now the only shoe I work out in. Not only is the silhouette incredibly comfortable regardless of whether you’re running or doing a HIIT workout, but it also looks sleek thanks to the knit upper and comes in many different colors (which might explain why I frequently wear them out when I am not exercising, too).
APL TechLoom Zipline Running Shoe, $, available at Nordstrom
Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts will continue to trend next year, and these ones from Hommegirls are the fashion-insider favorite. For those who prefer more coverage or are committed to a capsule wardrobe life, this shirt from the brand is a favorite of Jenna Lyons.
Hommegirls Striped Cotton-poplin Shorts, $, available at Net-A-Porter
Designer Headphones
The brand behind some of the best audio equipment, Bose, has collaborated with our favorite quirky beaded accessories designer, Susan Alexandra, for the cutest pair of headphones.

Bose x Susan Alexandra QuietComfort Headphones, $, available at Susan Alexandra
Stocking Stuffer Mask
Another great stocking stuffer idea, this Summer Fridays product (which also comes in a mini version) is a travel must-have for the way it quickly rehydrates the skin. Use it as a mask after a flight or leave it on as a moisturizer for a fresh-looking-looking complexion the next day.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer, $, available at Sephora
Luxury Scarf
If you’re going to gift an oversized scarf this season, make it an ultra-luxe one, like this mohair-and-wool blend style from the designer brand Loewe's holiday collaboration with Japanese ceramicist studio Suna Fujita.

What's more, it all comes housed in a tote designed by handbag favorite By Far.
There is nothing more luxurious than the feeling of new sheets. These cozy flannel ones would make a perfect winter gift for the homebody who treats their bed like their temple. If you have a higher budget, check out these heathered cashmere sheets, too.
Brooklinen Brushed Flannel Core Sheet Set, $, available at Brooklinen

Williams.
Yale University Press Givenchy: The Complete Collections (Catwalk), $, available at Amazon
Personalized Ballet Flats
The biggest shoe trend of the year, ballet flats will only continue getting more popular come 2024. Gift your recipient an extra special pair with Mansur Gavriel’s personalization service that allows shoppers to monogram the brand's beloved ballerinas and handbags.
Mansur Gavriel Dream Ballerina, $, available at Mansur Gavriel
Mug
This mug was one of my favorite gifts I received last year thanks to its sturdy construction and bright colorway (I got mine in yellow). Created by East Fork, an Asheville-based pottery company, this season's holiday offerings, which also include bowls and plates, come in a "Henri Matisse red."
East Fork Mug in Henri's Red, $, available at East Fork
Organic Cotton Pajamas
Another gift I loved receiving last year, these pajamas are from sustainable fashion brand Mara Hoffman. The set, made from 100% organic cotton, provides the winter coverage I look for (pants, long sleeves), while still remaining light and breathable. Bonus: They are currently on sale!

A Luxe Ornament
An exquisitely delightful ornament for your most fashion-y friend, this bauble is made in collaboration between luxury house Loewe and Kyoto-based ceramic studio Suna Fujita and also comes in penguin, panda, seal, and otter shapes.

Loewe Guinea Fowl Bauble In Blown Glass, $, available at Loewe
Leather Makeup Bag
Since launching earlier in the year, Cuyana's travel roll has become my go-to makeup bag for the way it keeps my beauty essentials organized (and my makeup brushes clean as a result of a genius leather lining flap!). The brand's heart-shaped case offers a more affordable — and adorable — alternative.
Year after year, the Arizona slide remains everyone’s favorite “ugly shoe.” Help the Birkenstock fan in your life upgrade their go-tos that have seen better days with a shearling-lined pair. If your giftee’s whole personality was the Barbie movie this year, may I suggest opting for a pair in baby pink like the ones worn by Margot Robbie.
Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle Shearling Slide, $, available at Nordstrom
Quality Socks
For those who like to wear their sandals with socks. These ones, made from cashmere, are from the brand that makes some of the best. Comme Si also offers options in cotton and wool, as well as gift box sets.

Heart-shaped Necklace
Speaking of the Barbie film, Robbie’s exact necklace from the movie is back in stock, just in time for the holidays! For the superfan, pair this Missoma pick with Assouline’s ultra-luxe coffee table book that tells the history of Mattel’s most popular doll.

Super Smalls Traveling Heart Purse and Jewelry Box, $, available at Super Smalls
Fashion Candle
We all have that person who doesn't believe in having too many candles.

Inspired by Italy's Amalfi Coast, the fragrance includes notes of limoncello, Italian jasmine, and palo santo.
P.F. Candle Co. x Lisa Says Gah Italian Summer Candle, $, available at Lisa Says Gah
Bespoke Sweater
The most expensive item on this list, it is also the most special. Transform your photos or hand-drawn pictures into embroidered designs with Lingua Franca's custom service.

Lingua Franca Bespoke Womens Crewneck, $, available at Lingua Franca
Olive Oil Set
For the at-home cook, this set — from premium olive oil brand Graza and print-forward homewares label Dusen Dusen, featuring two bottles of oil and a pair of oven mitts — can also double as whimsy, uplifting kitchen decor.

Smart Showerhead
Treat your recipient to the gift of self-care with a "smart showerhead" — that provides better pressure, different spray settings, and helps save water — featuring an aromatherapeutic add-on.

Fancy Cleaner
I am a fan of Diptyque's luxury candles so, believe it or not, I was actually excited to receive cleaning products from the brand a few years ago. Tip: Keep the bottle that makes for beautiful kitchen decor when you're done with the formula and refill it with regular cleaner for a more cost-efficient way to spruce up your counters.
Diptyque La Droguerie Multi-Surface Cleaner, $, available at Bloomingdale's
