Nothing says “I love you”, or even “Thank you” like a carefully selected luxury gift. If you’re stuck for ideas for a gift for a loved one, a close friend, or a colleague that bailed you out during an important project, here’s a few luxury gift ideas that will make sure that the recipient feels appreciated.
Luxury Gifts for Him
1. Silk glove liners: Presented in a stylish case,
2. silk glove liners make a great gift for a golfer, business man, or just someone with a strong sense of style.
3. A watch: A quality Rolex is a great “thank you” gift, and sure to be appreciated. A good Rolex can last a lifetime.
4. Cuff links: Custom cuff links don’t have to cost the earth, and can be a great personalised gift for the man in your life.
5. Wine and Spirits: A bottle of their favourite nightcap is a great choice. Tread carefully when buying alcohol for someone you don’t know well, though. If you’re not sure if someone enjoys alcoholic drinks. To avoid unnecessary offence, play it safe and opt for something else instead.
Luxury Gifts for Her
1. A silk shirt: A stylish, comfortably fitting silk shirt is a great gift for either gender. A silk shirt is comfortable to wear, timelessly fashionable, and long lasting too.
2. Perfume: A bottle of perfume isn’t a good gift to get a colleague, but it’s something that your girlfriend or significant other would probably love. For extra brownie points, buy her a new bottle of her favourite scent. It will show you’ve been paying attention!
3. Chocolates: Some high class chocolates will always be well received. Think “Thorntons” or “Hotel Chocolat” rather than Cadburys. Or, even better, import some unusual chocolates from abroad.
4. High Fashion: High fashion gifts such as handbags, clothes, or vouchers for designer stores, will usually be well received.
Giving a luxury gift doesn’t have to mean investing in a second mortgage. If you shop around, you can often find vintage items that will be appreciated by the recipient. You can also get in ahead of the crowd by keeping an eye on trends. If you see a designer that’s on the up, then buy their products as a gift. Not only will you give a great gift at a price that doesn’t hurt your wallet, the recipient will remember you as the person that gave them the item from Designer X: before everyone else even knew who he was.
When you’re giving someone a luxury gift, presentation is everything. If you can get the store to gift wrap that silk shirt, then that’s a nice bonus. If you have the option of getting the perfume in a presentation case, then choose that version over the “bottle in a box”. The feeling of unwrapping a delicately wrapped gift that comes in a luxurious case is hard to beat, and will really put a smile on the face of the recipient, and add to the message, whether it’s a huge “Thank you”, or a great big “I love you”.
