20 Luxe Gifts For The Favorite People On Your List

After a year we've had, your favorite people deserve the best holiday presents.
You know, the type of luxury gifts that even the woman who says she wants nothing will appreciate.

But, this holiday season — when many are (understandably) making their own presents or opting out of exchanging gifts altogether — luxe doesn't have to mean expensive. In fact, most of the gifts on this list are under $100. Instead of price, it's about opulent-feeling (cozy, plush, soft) fabrics, thoughtful fashion gifts boasting hand-dyed (read: one-of-a-kind) prints, elevated versions of wardrobe essentials that your giftee will never get for themselves, and, most importantly, pampering presents that will help them indulge in some self-care to start 2021 in a more relaxed state.

With that in mind, ahead, gifts for the luxe-loving (and deserving) people on your list.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Madewell x Buffy Scarf


The eco-friendly bedding brand behind internet's most popular comforter, Buffy, has collaborated with Madewell on an ultra-plush line of accessories, including this scarf that's like a pillow for the neck.

Bychari Ring


After Michelle Obama wore Bychari's "vote" necklace at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, sales for the piece skyrocketed. We love these stackable rings from the brand for the minimalists in our lives.

Softwear Hoodie


When the pandemic took hold of the U.S., sustainable athleisure brand Softwear's founder, Sabrina Zohar, began tie-dyeing her inventory of white joggers in her living room. The style has since become a customer favorite not only for its one-of-a-kind prints but also the incredibly soft fabric that earned Softwear its name.

Softwear Women’s Hoodie Custom Bleach Out, $, available at Softwear

Wildflower Case


A cheeky case for the aughts fashion fans. For something more abstract, we love Wildflower's collaboration with activist and model Salem Mitchell.

Wildflower Monogram iPhone Case, $, available at Wildflower

Knickey Underwear Set


If your giftee's definition of luxe is sustainable, they will love this underwear set that's made from organic cotton. To make it even better, Knickey — which also follows responsible, fair-trade supply chain practices — will recycle any old underwear for your recipient, so it doesn't end up in the landfill.

Knickey Starter Set, $, available at Knickey

Sincerely Tommy Bucket Hat


With bucket hats and cow prints both having a moment — thanks to Emily in Paris and Beyoncé, respectively — this fuzzy hat is a clear winner.

As we continue to work from home, this gift — a pair of quilt slippers made from recycled materials — will actually be put to use in 2021.

Sheertex Argyle Tights


Made from "unbreakable" fiber, these tights, — that, as the name suggests, can withstand any pulling and tugging — come with a 30-day warranty. We also love the argyle print. on this pair

Bala Weighted Bangles



These stylish ankle and hand weights were impossible to get at the start of the pandemic (believe me, I tried!) when everyone switched to working out from home. Months later, they are still the best gift for any fitness enthusiast.
