Not everyone deserves a lavish, expensive gift. But…some people do (including you).

Listen, we’re complete supporters of the argument that it’s the thought that counts. But sometimes, the correct thought is to go the extra mile and spend your hard-earned money on a luxurious gift for someone you really care about.

Let’s clarify what we mean by luxurious, though: Great things can certainly come in small packages, so a fancy gift can be any size and any price. And while an impressive gift sometimes requires spending a little more money than you’d pay for a typical stocking stuffer, we’re not expecting anyone to take out a loan just to please their significant other. Luxury can be expensive, but it can also be anything that results in a lavish experience. A super-soft faux-fur throw certainly counts as luxe, and the right one won’t break the bank. You get where we’re going with this.

So if you want to impress your gift recipient this year, choose one of these gifts that look expensive but are actually a lot more affordable than you’d think. Just don’t let them see the price tag.
