The Best Luxury Gifts That Go Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Drop a hint; you never know what might happen.

Ask yourself this: If you could curate the ultimate dream wish list, what would it be? Would it be a mind-blowing experience to create a multitude of core memories? Perhaps it’s a collection of the most iconic designer bags to ever grace the pages of ELLE. Maybe it’s an endless array of the best fine jewelry brands you can think of. In this exercise of opulence, there are no limits.

While we’re often pressed to snap back to reality for what’s realistic within the means of our respective holiday shopping budgets, we fully believe there’s no harm in daydreaming a little—or a lot—about something that feels utterly decadent. Everyone loves to dabble in a little bit of aspirational (online) window shopping, right? If you agree, then read on to peruse the best mind-blowing luxury gifts of the year, and get a little inspiration for your own daydreaming sessions in the form of a modern tennis necklace from Tiffany & Co., the mahjong set to end all mahjong sets, and fresh-baked cookies that are nearly too good to eat, among other things. You might even see something worth that end-of-the-year bonus.
