The Luxurious Gift Guide

Thinking of the perfect luxury gift to give to your friends and family takes time. Show a little love (& luxury) by perusing your favourite luxe stores for some fab finds for them!

The good news is, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home (and athleisure wear). You can just order them online (and earn Cash Back with Rakuten.ca at the same time). For great luxury gift ideas, take a look at our guide to some of the most luxurious items below.

Big Fashion Books

Have a fashion-obsessed friend who loves creating their own looks? Gift them a big fashion book and watch their eyes light up as their fashion imagination runs wild. There’s nothing like seeing a table piled with big fashion names from magazines like Vogue & Vanity Fair to designers like Chanel & Tom Ford.

Belt Bags and Mini Wallets

Belt bags and mini wallets from Shopbop make a perfect gift for travel enthusiasts. Got a friend or relative who is always heading on their next big adventure? Or maybe she’s always on the go and just likes to be hands-free? Not only are they great (period) but they’re also trendy, fashionable.

Scented Candles

Who doesn’t want their homes smelling nice all the time? Scented candles promote a sense of zen which helps us destress. They’re the perfect gift for the people who need a little R&R. Think of the stay-at-home mom or pop with little hellions who keep them on their toes. Or someone in a high-stress job who hasn’t taken a vacation in a long time. The scented candles from Diptyque or Jo Malone will be the perfect gifts for them this season.

Fragrances

You can’t go wrong with fragrances and perfumes. They’re an evergreen gift you can give to anyone no matter what the occasion. And when you gift someone their favourite scent? They’re going to love you forever! The holiday season is also a great time to scoop up value sets which are often well-priced with several additional gifts like a rollerball or travel size fragrance.

Make-up and Skincare Sets

There’s no better feeling than seeing someone open a gift they’ve been lusting over. Whether they like to play with the basics or the kind of love having an entire arsenal of cosmetics, you can find the perfect make-up set for them at Sephora or Mac. If skincare is more their jam, then get the hottest skincare sets from Bliss or Goop.
