At Glamour, we’re of the mindset that luxury can come in many forms. Sure, there are those who believe the best luxury gifts have four-wheel drive and a giant red bow. But then there are the smaller luxuries, like a beautiful beauty gift set or cashmere sweater that your giftee can wear on repeat. No matter what you’re in the market for this holiday season, there are high-end gift ideas for women and men, from designer clothing (Gucci loafers) to an ultramodern skin-care device (an LED face mask). And yes, we included a few presents that are on the more affordable side. Don’t worry—your bougiest, sorry, pickiest loved ones won’t know the difference.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
Glamour editors agree: There are hair dryers, and then there’s the Dyson. Not only is it designed to dry faster and with less damage than other models, but it also makes frizz seem like it never existed. Yes, it’s a splurge, but here’s why our reviewers say it’s worth it. “My mom was a hairdresser, and while I was lucky to inherit her pro blow-dryers, I ultimately switched to the Dyson because it’s just so lightweight that it basically doubles as a travel dryer and it quickly blows my curly hair straight,” says Glamour’s commerce director Brie Schwartz.
