CircleDNA Vital DNA Test
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Why we like it:
Perfect for setting New Year's resolutions
125+ personalized reports
You may not initially think of a DNA test as a "luxury" gift, but CircleDNA is here to prove that this one belongs on your shopping list. With just a simple saliva swab, your giftee will be sent all of the information they need to form actionable plans to optimize their diet, nutrition intake, fitness routines and overall wellness. Each kit comes with a free one-on-one health consultation as well. It's like a trip to a top-tier medical expert — but one that doesn't require them to leave their home!
La Mer Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Why we like it:
Coveted beauty brand
For normal, dry, combination or oily skin
La Mer is likely topping every skincare lover's wish list this year, as it has in years past. But with so many of the brand's products costing hundreds of dollars each, they never quite make it under the tree. This ultra-hydrating sheet mask offers an option to snag something gorgeous from the celebrity-favorite brand for under $40. This sheet mask features almost a full ounce of The Treatment Lotion (a $180 product) and uses Japanese "skin-hugging technology" to deliver serious moisture!
Nordstrom Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
38% off!
Buy from Nordstrom, $79.90 (was $129)
Why we like it:
Nearly $50 off right now
100% cashmere, not a blend
Cashmere is forever giftable, but it's certainly not always affordable. Luckily, this extremely versatile sweater is on major sale right now, will fit seamlessly into anyone's wardrobe and comes in 13 colors — including stripes! This piece is warm, soft, cozy, stylish and bound to keep selling out of sizes, so we recommend nabbing one ASAP!
Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge Glass
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Buy from Saks Fifth Avenue, $25
Why we like it:
Helps keep drinks from becoming watered down
Safe for the dishwasher
We often see a heavy focus on wine and champagne gifts around the holidays, but what if you're shopping for someone more into hard liquors like whiskey? This glass is a fun, creative and incredibly useful gift. It comes with a silicone ice mold in a wedge shape to help each drink retain its full flavor as the ice slowly melts. This will be the perfect piece for your giftee's barware collection!
Le Petit Jardin & Co. Real Preserved Dried Flower Reed Diffuser
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Why we like it:
Handcrafted and packaged in small batches
Real dried flowers
This rustic-chic diffuser from Le Petit Jardin & Co. is an elevated version of what you might typically find when searching for diffusers, as it uses real dried flowers instead of wood, paper or plastic. These real flowers are more beautiful, can hold more fragrance and are better for the environment. Each set is handcrafted in Austin, Texas in small batches and comes with everything you need. Grab one in Peach Moscato, The Flower Shop, Lemon + Verbena or Quebec Balsam Fir. Or grab two — one for yourself to keep!
Tory Burch Embrace Ambition Bracelet
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Buy from Tory Burch, $30, or buy 2 for $50
Why we like it:
10 color options
100% of net proceeds are donated
A designer gift for just $30? Yes, please! And if you buy two of this beautiful, adjustable Tory Burch bracelet, they'll be just $25 each! Each bracelet is made with a colorful cord of your choice, plus a signature Gemini Link charm in 18k-gold plated brass or silver. Even better is the empowering message behind this accessory, which is to embrace ambition. 100% of net proceeds are donated to the Tory Burch Foundation, which empowers women and women entrepreneurs!
Capri Blue Volcano Hand Soap & Lotion Gift Set
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
30% off!
Buy from Anthropologie, $29.40 (was $42)
Why we like it:
Iconic scent
Comes with golden caddy
Shoppers say they "can't get enough" of the products in this highly-reviewed gift set. It comes with a hand wash and lotion in the fan-favorite Capri Blue Volcano scent, plus a stunning caddy to stylishly hold and display both in the bathroom or kitchen. Not every hand soap or lotion is gift-worthy, but this set is a luxurious pick from first glance. And thanks to ingredients like shea butter and olive oil, it's a must for soft, smooth hands!
Tea Forte Gift Set
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Why we like it:
Created in partnership with the New York Botanical Garden
Five set options
Any tea lover would be thrilled to unwrap one of these limited-edition gift sets. Each box features rare flora prints from Pierre-Joseph Redouté from the NYBG's library, plus five tea flavors (two bags each!) also inspired by the famous garden. But that's not all. Inside each box, you'll also find a beautiful porcelain tea cup with a lid, as well as a tea tray with a gold monogram. Absolutely exquisite all around. Choose from Fleur, Jardin, Paradis, Soleil and Warming Joy!
Chanel Chance Bath Tabs
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
Why we like it:
Chanel under $75 — need we say more?
Pretty packaging that can be upcycled
While a full-size Chanel Chance perfume will cost you over $100, these bath tabs offer a more affordable and unique alternative. Plus, who wouldn't prefer this luxurious set over the glittery bath bomb options at the grocery store? The fruity-floral scent features key notes of grapefruit, quince, rose accord and white musk, and the best part is that it will last even after the bath is over. It can be the first step in a "fragrance ritual," to be worn alone or layered underneath perfume!
Casablanca Silk Neckerchief
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
60% off!
Buy from Saks Fifth Avenue, $61.99 (was $155)
Why we like it:
Over $90 off
100% pure silk
Deal alert! This 100% silk neckerchief scarf might normally be a little too pricy to consider, but with this sale price, we know it's a must-buy gift for a fashionista on our list. It's made in Italy and can be worn in numerous ways. There are multiple styles to try for wearing it as a neckerchief, but it can also be used as a hair or bag accessory!
Soujoy Rustic Shabby Chic Vase
Best Affordable Luxury Gifts
60% off!
Why we like it:
Super low price
100% handmade
This decorative metal pitcher has a vintage farmhouse style without the vintage farmhouse price. It's not fragile either, as it's handmade with galvanized metal. It's excellent for displaying artificial or dried florals and plants, though you can use it for fresh flowers as well if you place a bag inside. It even looks great all on its own, adding a timeless decor accent to a windowsill or kitchen counter!
