Going overboard isn’t always a bad thing. Once in a while, a major splurge for a special person is exactly the right call. And while many of our picks for the luxury lovers in your life are big ticket items, not everything breaks the bank—an elevated everyday item like a lip balm, hand cream or flask of perfume can feel just as fabulous as a Louis Vuitton Trunk, a serious watch, or a solid sterling silver and leather water bottle from Hermès (although that last one is hard to beat). Explore all of our favorite major gifts of the season here.
