Nordstrom, Amazon, Williams Sonoma
For those of us cursed with good taste, it can be difficult to strike a balance between saving our bank accounts and making high-quality investment purchases, regardless of category. Whether I’m purchasing gifts for others or shopping for myself, it’s hard to not want to go the extra mile, even when it comes at a cost. And while I firmly believe that when it comes to gift-giving and receiving, it’s the thought that counts — there’s nothing like surprising a beloved friend or family member with an extravagant gift to show them how much they mean to you.
While certainly not appropriate for all occasions, a splurge-y holiday gift can really make someone’s day, whether it’s a fancy new kitchen gadget, a skin care upgrade, a new tech device, designer clothes or even just some elevated home decor. Below, I’ve rounded up 31 luxury gifts for everyone in your life, and I regret to inform you that each one is absolutely worth the splurge. Keep reading to pick up a little something that’s extra special from retailers like Amazon, Food52, West Elm, Maisonette and more.

TheraFace Pro handheld facial massage device
This multitasking beauty tool from the makers of TheraGun does it all. It’s an eight-in-one beauty device that has pretty much rendered all of my other devices obsolete. Best of all, not only is the TheraFace a skin care dream, but it does wonders for jaw tension and can even help to ease the pain of TMJ thanks to the added benefit of percussive therapy.
The TheraFace comes with six different attachments so you can customize your beauty routine depending on what you need most. That includes three percussive attachments — one flat, one micro point and one cone-shaped. Each delivers deep yet appropriately gentle percussive massage straight to your tired facial muscles. In addition, a microcurrent ring firms and brightens skin, an LED light treatment attachment aims to fight acne and signs of aging and a deep cleansing ring keeps skin squeaky clean. You can also purchase two other attachments, a cold ring and a hot ring, separately.
