Luxury Gifts from Gucci, Chanel, and More That’ll Fancy Even the Fanciest — from $40

When shopping for someone who’s as glamorous as Fergie, only something luxurious will do. 

The thought is what matters most when picking up gifts, and some people are just into the finer things in life. If you don’t have an unlimited budget, buying something that your designer-dabbling giftee will love is both a money and mental strain. 

But over the years, I’ve become quite the experienced luxury shopper. I’ve long mastered how to find things like Gucci sunglasses, Tory Burch accessories, and Kate Spade bags for way less. And before you panic, know that these picks range from $40 to $395 — nothing more than that.

Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara 

This is the eye-beautifying mascara that was used on Jennifer Aniston for the 2024 Emmys — and it’s one we think would amp up your lashes for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and every other day. Plus, when you order directly from the brand, it’ll come in a free Chanel pouch or signature box, so the giftee can have both a luxurious opening experience and product for keeps. Order before Thursday, December 19 at 3 p.m. ET to get it before the holiday shipping deadline. 

Sneex The Icon Hy-Heel Sneaker

First, Reese Witherspoon wore them, then Oprah put them on her 2024 Favorite Things List, and now my mom and I were both sent a pair to try. I’m still in the process of testing mine, but my mom is wearing hers practically 24/7 and getting new compliments every day (not kidding, my dad said it was getting annoying because he just wants to shop in peace!). One woman even made my mother take the shoes off her feet so she could examine the label. 

Gucci 53mm Sunglasses

Gucci gifts? While you’d think that’s out of budget, it’s not today. This pair of tortoise-shell sunglasses from the designer brand is now $130, which is almost cost-equivalent to what many of us already pay for things like leggings and jeans. So, why not up the stakes and get something that gives off an even more luxe impression?

Polo Ralph Lauren Short Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt

Taylor Swift was spotted in a sold-out sweatshirt from this brand while rehearsing for one of her last stops on the Eras Tour — it also happens to be under the umbrella of Ralph Lauren, which is even pricier. Another option is to score some sneakers from Stuart Weitzman. Both Swift and Selena Gomez have worn its shoes. 

Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Robe

I also recently saw a convincing TikTok about this pearly Guerlain powder and almost hit “add to bag” right then and there, while my gifted Cozy Earth bathrobe (another Oprah-approved brand) makes every night feel like a five-star hotel stay. And with a Diptyque candle burning in the background, I feel like I’m living my best life.
