10 Luxury Gifts On My Wishlist

When you think of luxury, do you think of designer brands like Chanel or Gucci? In my opinion, luxury is whatever you think is an indulgence. It could be the Sunday afternoon nap that you never seem to have time for, or the new iPad that you’re not sure you need. These are the luxury gifts that I’m putting on my holiday wishlist, and suggestions for what you can add to yours.

1. Season Tickets

What’s on my wishlist: Season tickets to our local theatre.

Why it’s an indulgence: Season tickets are expensive! But I’ve found that if I plan to just go to a show or two, I never make time for it.

A couple of years ago, my very generous mother-in-law, asked me to pick out something indulgent and memorable. So I asked for season tickets to our local theatre and it was the most wonderful experience. Musicals make my heart happy, but the best part was sharing the experience with my daughter and one of my dear friends.

Season tickets are tricky to buy if you don’t know the recipient’s schedule, so you may have to wrap up a check or gift card. They’ll enjoy your gift all year long!

2. Cuyana Tote

What’s on my wishlist: The 16″ System Zipper Tote, Wavy Strap, Laptop Sleeve, and Zipper Pouch in black.

Why: Cuyana is the epitome of quiet luxury, with simple but thoughtfully designed handbags that are made to last. You can add accessories like straps, pouches, and laptop sleeves to customize your bag. Some of the accessories can be mixed and matched, for example, the straps can be attached to the pouch to create a compact crossbody bag.

If you’re looking for a statement handbag, take a look at the Ola Bag or the Nova bag. Both are unique sculpted looks that are stunning. They’d be on my list too if I didn’t already have a nice collection of mini handbags!

Looking for a more affordable gift? Cuyana’s Mini Heart Case and Cardholder are under $100.

And for stocking stuffers, Cuyana has a leather spot cleaner and conditioner.

3. Cozy Earth Bedding

What’s on my luxury wishlist: The White Bamboo Sheet Set, the Bamboo Mattress Pad, and this Navy Pullover (S) to lounge in!

Why? Because I have a couple of pairs of their pajamas and want to live in them…

Last year, I bought the Cozy Earth short-sleeve sleepwear set. I wrote about it in this post: Why You’ll Love Bamboo Viscose Pajamas. Spoiler alert: I’m embarrassed that I even tried to compare the Cozy Earth pajamas to the affordable ones. Cozy Earth pajamas are cooling, ultra-comfortable, and wash beautifully. I bought the long-sleeved pajama set and ordered a blanket too.

Skeptical? They offer a 100-night sleep trial and free shipping.

This week, I applied to be a Brand Ambassador for Cozy Earth (since I’m already a fan) so I can now offer you 40% off your purchases when you use my code: SFQCCQDJ or shop using this link.

4. A Robe (Or Two)

What’s on my luxury wishlist: This Organic Pima Robe (S/M) in black for warmer days, and this Luxe Bath Robe (when it’s available in XS again).

Why it’s a luxury: doesn’t a cozy robe make you think of a five-star hotel or a serene spa?!

Here are some other cozy robes, you may want to add to your wishlist:

5. Cashmere

What’s on my wishlist: This black Fancy Cashmere Cropped Cardigan (S) is on my wishlist as I’ve been looking for something to wear with cocktail dresses.

Cashmere is undoubtedly a luxury as it comes from the soft undercoat of the Kasmir goats raised in the mountains of certain countries in Asia. Nadaam responsibly sources and creates cashmere knitwear and is currently offering 40% off everything for Black Friday!

If you are looking for a simple cashmere crewneck sweater, the Original Cashmere Sweater is $98 and available in both Men’s and Women’s sizes. The Signature Beanie is an affordable gift.

6. A Nespresso Coffee And Espresso Maker

What’s on my luxury wishlist: Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe (available at Crate and Barrel and Macy’s)

Why? Sometimes, time is a luxury, so a pop-in-and-brew cup of coffee on a busy morning is golden!

My current Nespresso Pixie (espresso only) is one of my favorite kitchen appliances, but it’s showing signs of wear and tear (and an accidental drop). It would be quite a luxury to have a new one, especially one that makes both coffee and espresso. If you’re looking for a coffee machine, here are a few of the other options I looked at:

The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe has a larger water tank. There’s also a Vertuo Pop+ that has a smaller tank but comes in fun colors.

If you’re buying one of these as a gift, don’t forget the coffee, espresso, and double espresso capsules. The capsules are recyclable (they send you a bag that you can fill and send back), and many of the Nespresso machines use recycled materials to produce.

7. S.A.D. Light

What’s on my wishlist: the Lumie Vitamin L Light.

Why: come visit me in February in Upstate New York and you’ll see why we need light around here! I’ve often thought about buying a SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) light, but have never gotten around to it.

I’ve also read great reviews about the Lumie Wakeup Light Alarm Clock (a good way to finally get that cellphone out of your room!)

8. Custom Journal

What’s on my wishlist: This Color, this Lineas, or this Bloom Journal.

Why it’s a luxury: in my mind, anything that’s personalized is a luxury!

I’ve been writing in journals since I was little, and I fell out of the habit this year. So I’m hoping to be inspired again next year by a journal that has my name on it!

9. Photo Gifts

What’s on my list: Anything my family wants to create.

Why it’s a luxury: As the photographer in the family, I’m there for all of the photo moments so I would love a photo keepsake of family moments that I’ve missed!

10. The Ultimate Luxury Wishlist Item

What’s on my wishlist: Family time

Why it’s a luxury: when kids turn into young adults, there never seems to be enough time together.

When our family gets together, there’s always plenty of laughter, and to me, that is priceless! So anything that brings us all together, whether it’s a silly board game (even if my husband always wins), a puzzle, a trip, or a visit, time together is the ultimate luxury gift.
