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.

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.

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.
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.
