25 Luxury Christmas Gifts of 2025
‘Tis the season to embrace joy. Tune out the triggering bombardment of holiday commercials and the rapid influx of spam mail on savings events. The key to merriment this season? Simplifying your holiday gifting approach.
“For me, it’s all about buying the little luxuries, from a special lipstick to cashmere socks,” says Marina Larroudé, co-founder and chief creative officer of Larroudé. “I don’t think a purchase needs to necessarily be ‘luxury,’ as in an expensive item, but it can be a very thoughtful gift with a fun, glitzy design. It’s the season when you can be really ‘extra’ without judgment and splurge on something fun that will make everyday life a little more joyful.”
Larroudé, a self-proclaimed “holidayzilla,” warmly welcomes a joie de vivre mindset with the season’s signatures of all things ornate, such as festive red bows and gorgeous garlands, yet also considers a gift’s practicality and the longevity of the happiness it will deliver to a giftee. Jessica Matlin, director of home and beauty at Moda Operandi, shares this penchant for for investment-worthy holiday gifts, especially items with an heirloom-like quality whose appeal can last for generations.
“A great heirloom doesn’t always have to be an expensive purchase — it could be something that’s rare, feels precious to you, or is indicative of your style,” Matlin tells WWD. “These are items that you’ll continue to get pleasure from looking at every day, whether it’s a piece from your favorite artist on the wall or fine linens on the dining room table.”
Below, our editors’ curation of rewarding holiday investments that will make your recipient beam with happiness. Just remember: It’s the thought that counts.
