It’s December, so it’s time for our annual Luxury Holiday Gift Guide! This year, we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of putting together the most exquisite gift ideas for yourself and your loved ones. 

Our Luxury Holiday Gift Guide is one of the most eagerly awaited stories by all our readers, so we are thrilled to unveil it once again today.

For 2024, our team spent the longest time ever at selecting the brands and products that would make it into the Top 10: we started in September, and below are the final selections from our 4-month review! 

We have grouped them into categories (in no particular order), and included direct links and pricing, to make your shopping as easy and as seamless as possible. Here we go.

For the one who loves food: HexClad Classic Culinary Bundle

This is Gordon Ramsay’s favourite cookware, so you know it’s going to be amazing. HexClad’s premium, patented, hybrid selection brings together the performance of stainless steel, the durability of cast iron and the convenience of nonstick. The result is cookware that performs to Michelin chef standards, with the cleanup convenience you need at home. Now you can unleash your potential in the kitchen without limits.

If you like HexClad products and really want to treat someone, we recommend the HexClad Classic Culinary Bundle, which includes 2 hybrid pans, 2 saucepans with lids and a Dutch oven with a lid.

The non-stick surface makes food slide off easily, making cleanup quick and easy. It’s perfect for anyone who loves cooking but hates the mess. The durable surface is scratch-resistant even from metal utensils, so cooking is worry-free. We also love that HexClad’s pans have excellent heat retention, keeping your food warm after cooking. The pans can handle high heat and transition seamlessly from stovetop to oven. This is perfect for dishes that require both stove-top and baking. 

Lastly, the hybrid design ensures even heat distribution, eliminating hot spots, which is great for searing steaks. And did we mention that it’s dishwasher safe and has a lifetime warranty? Happy cooking!

This bundle retails for $649.99 (valued at $1,048.95).

For the one who loves to celebrate: Veuve Clicquot, Hennessy VS Gold and Moët & Chandon

If you are looking for the ultimate gift for someone who loves to celebrate in style (could be yourself!), then this triple selection we have put together from Moët Hennessy is a must. 

Our first choice is the holiday special Veuve Clicquot Brut Puffer Jacket (that includes a bottle of Veuve). For over 250 years, Veuve Clicquot has been an innovative force in Champagne production. One of the most heralded names in the industry and a luxury synonym, Veuve Clicquot is a symbol of elegance and style. This holiday season, raise a toast with this iconic, yellow-labelled bubbly that is wrapped up tight in its fashionable and functional puffer jacket. If you like gifts that make a fashion statement: this is an excellent option! This is a trendy new accessory for outdoor adventures, and the on-the-go bag is designed to carry and store the Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label at the ideal temperature for up to one hour.

The second item in our FAJO bundle is the Hennessy VS Cognac Gold Bottle Limited Edition. The world’s most popular Cognac, Hennessy VS is an expression of expertise and consistency, centuries in the making. Intense character and full-bodied flavours of toasted almond, fresh grapes, and citrus zest make this ideal served neat or in a cocktail. The eye-catching gold bottle is great as a centerpiece for any festive gathering. We think it would make a particularly beautiful addition to a New Year’s table.

Last, but certainly not least, is the Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial. Moët & Chandon is one of the largest and most prestigious Champagne houses in the world. This holiday classic will thrill any champagne connoisseur. The nose is elegant, showing aromas of toasted rye bread, ripe citrus and green apple. The palate is refined, with a delicate mousse, citrus and mineral flavours. This is an iconic champagne distinguished by its bright fruitiness, seductive palate and elegant maturity.

These products retail for a total of $253.55.

For the one who loves cool things: Valmont Holiday Cracker Gift Set

If you want to really treat or impress someone with the ultimate luxury skincare set, you can’t go wrong with Valmont and its latest limited edition release for the holiday season: the Holiday Cracker Gift Set. One of Switzerland’s ultimate gems, this high-end beauty line works perfectly for any age or skin type, and is accompanied by a stylish and intricate packaging in the form of a Christmas cracker.

A three-piece limited-edition skincare set that hydrates, smooths and plumps the skin, this piece is inspired by the epic journey of Valmont’s Blue Odyssey. The Holiday Cracker Set contains a full-size Moisturizing with a Cream, paired with Valmont’s iconic Prime Renewing Pack and the Moisturizing Booster. It’s also a great way to test out 3 products from this luxury skincare line, to see which one you like best (or perhaps you will love and want all of them!).

Moisturizing with a Cream is a 24-hour hydration cream. This silky cream will refresh the skin with immediate and long lasting hydration. Its velvety texture repairs the intercellular bonds for optimal vitality. Visibly plumped, the skin glows and offers a long lasting feeling of comfort. 

The Prime Renewing Pack, on the other hand, is an anti-stress and anti-wrinkle cream mask. It is an essential skincare icon. It is Valmont’s worldwide best seller for a reason: one jar is sold every two minutes! With a fine, cream-like texture, Prime Renewing Pack erases signs of aging, fatigue and fine lines while refreshing the complexion.

The final piece in the set is the Moisturizing Booster. It’s almost winter, so moisturizing skin should be a top priority at this time of the year. This fresh gel serum fills the epidermis with intense hydration. It features hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights that bind to all layers of the skin, rebalancing its surface, to create firm, supple texture and fresh glow.

This set retails for a total of $230 (valued at $485); full-sized items retail for a total of $820.

For the one who loves Canadian brands: Vivier Growth Factor Gift Set

If you are looking for a gift set that features Canadian products that are cruelty-free, we recommend Vivier. The brand is committed to cruelty-free practices and does not conduct any testing on animals, for either its products or their ingredients. Using only the highest-quality, pharmaceutical grade ingredients and proprietary skin care technologies, Vivier strives to provide products that yield the best possible results for your skin. Available exclusively in participating clinics in the U.S. and Canada, Vivier’s Limited Edition Gift Sets are packed with value and designed to deliver The Beauty of Results.

We specifically recommend the Growth Factor Gift Set. What makes this set such an ideal gift is that it includes three award-winning products, each with top-of-the-line quality that leaves your skin feeling incredible. 

The Grenzcine Eye glides on like silk and leaves a gorgeous, radiant afterglow. You can immediately feel your skin lifted and plumped, giving your eyes a refreshed and youthful appearance. The Grenzcine Face offers a rich, cooling sensation. This cream is deeply hydrating and makes your skin feel instantly plumped and nourished.

For the one who loves tech stuff: Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

Available in 4 colours, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are perfect for when you want to go for a run and listen to some music, watch TV or play video games without disturbing other family members! 

Bose reinvented earbuds with OpenAudio technology that combines complete openness to your surroundings with rich, private sound only you can hear. With Bose Immersive Audio, these open-ear wireless headphones with Bluetooth don’t just feel good and look good, they bring you closer to your music. 

The earbuds are lightweight and attach gently but securely to your ears. They are also elegant and stylish. Designed for all-day wear, you’ll put these ergonomic clip-ons on and never want to take them off. The fit is so seamless and natural that you may even forget you are wearing them. 

With 7.5 hours of play time and 48 hours of standby, you’re equipped with the power of long-lasting battery life. Plus, the included charging case provides an extra 19.5 hours of power, making it perfect for on-the-go charging. 

Another function that is particularly handy for Canadian weather is the acoustic mesh that keeps out moisture and debris, so you can keep on listening. 

Lastly, you can take personalization to the next level with Adjustable EQ settings in the Bose Music app. You can control bass, mid-range and treble levels as you go, or use the app to check battery life, customize a shortcut and manage connected devices.

This product retails for $379.99.

For the one who loves to travel: LOJEL suitcases

Traveling is fun but extra enjoyable when you have the right gear. Bonus points if it’s stylish and not bulky! 

LOJEL is known, and loved, for its durable, user-centric carry essentials, and this fall they opened their first North American flagship store in Vancouver, marking a significant step in their mission to inspire everyday movement on a global scale. 

Founded in Japan in 1989, LOJEL has since become a favourite among travelers who value utility and sustainability, without sacrificing style. Each LOJEL retail location functions as a community space for everyday inspiration. The Vancouver flagship embraces its local surroundings, with immersive design and experiential elements that celebrate local culture and bring real value to the community. 

Any savvy traveler would love LOJEL’s Cubo design. We recommend getting one suitcase in Small and one in Medium sizing, to ensure compact and comfortable travel experiences. They are available in 12 colours, so there is something for everyone!

The Small suitcase will make travel easier. It’s perfect as a carry-on and its front compartment comfortably stores laptops, chargers, documents and all your regular grabs. Meanwhile, its magnetic quick-access door provides convenient access to your luggage interior on-the-go and the expandable body provides extra space when you need it. It’s perfect for all your 2025 trips: be they for business or adventure (or both).

The Medium piece, on the other hand, will adapt to any situation. Tiny hotel room? A clever flat-top opening gives you full access in tight spaces. Too many souvenirs? An expandable body makes space for everything. Prefer to pack organized? A compression divider helps you keep like with like. With a timeless look and smooth handling, this is the luggage to upgrade your travels. We can’t recommend it enough.

These products retail from $790 total (depending on colour).

For the one who loves looking sleek: Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5 & Series 9 Pro+ Shaver

These 2 selections are perfect for someone who always looks sleek, neat and is well-known for their radiant skin! 

For the ladies, we recommend Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5. It’s the ultimate beauty gift for smooth, radiant skin. Designed for women who prioritize convenience and self-care, this powerful at-home IPL treatment delivers salon-like results in just 3 weeks. With only one treatment per week and full-body coverage in just 10 minutes, the Braun IPL Silk Expert Pro 5 offers smooth skin that fits seamlessly into any self-care routine.

The Silk Expert Pro 5 features a SkinPro 2.0 sensor that automatically adapts to skin tone, making it a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking effective, personalized self-care. With its high-speed flashes and ability to treat both large areas like legs and small areas like the upper lip, this device ensures quick, easy sessions. By targeting hair follicles at the root, the Pro 5 provides weeks of smooth skin, making it a gift that keeps on giving. 

IPL treatments work best on lighter skin with less sun exposure, making winter the ideal season to begin, so you could prep for smooth, radiant skin by the time it’s summer. With normal, gentle and extra-gentle settings, the Silk Expert Pro 5 caters to all skin types, even sensitive areas, ensuring a personalized and pain-free experience. This versatility makes it a perfect gift for a loved one to indulge in luxurious self-care.

For the gentlemen, we recommend Braun’s Series 9 Pro+ Shaver. We love its matte black design with chrome features and a futuristic curved handle, which makes gripping the shaver comfortable and firm.

The self-cleaning feature is absolutely brilliant for convenience and comfort, keeping the shaver clean from unwanted hair build-up. The 6-in-1 SmartCare Center automatically charges and cleans, lubricates and dries at the touch of a button, for a beard shaver that performs like new every day.

The shaver has an adjustable head with a 5 element cassette, which is also removable for the comfort and care attachments. These 5 perfectly synchronized shaving elements deliver exceptional efficiency and skin comfort, even on longest and trickiest hair. Meanwhile, a trimmer conveniently pops up from the back handle to provide the extra touch of sharp lines for detailed shave. This built-in precision ProTrimmer is enhanced with surgical-grade steel and gives maximum cutting efficiency even on moustache, sideburns and under the nose. 

Made in Germany, this durable cordless shaver for men is titanium-coated for resistance to corrosion and 100% waterproof with a powerful 60-minute Li-Ion battery runtime.

These products retail for a total of $1,029.98.

For the one who loves stunning makeup: Charlotte Tilbury Holiday Collection

Widely renowned as “the makeup artist to the stars”, Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup is a must-have on any shopping list for the holidays. Every Charlotte Tilbury’s gift brings a sense of luxury and indulgence for that special someone in your life, creating lasting and joyful memories during the festive season. Every year, Tilbury releases her latest limited edition collection and, for 2024, we recommend three items that would be a fabulous holiday gift. 

The first is the Pillow Talk Beautyverse Love Palette, Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette. Its packaging is stunning! The nine colours offer a wide range of tones. From everyday matte neutrals to holiday/event glow colours, within this one palette you can easily spice up your look from day to evening. The texture is quite velvety and the range of colours would work whether you like striking makeup or tend to go for the ‘no-makeup makeup’ vibe!

The second item is the Hypnotising Pop Shots Duo, Eye Kit. This limited edition set would make a dazzling holiday stocking stuffer. The jewel-embellished compacts definitely hypnotize and so do the eyeshadows, which are perfect for achieving holiday eyes. The Rose Gold has a beautiful champagne peach shimmer gaze and can be applied as a base. The Cosmic Rocks eyeshadow is the right contrast for Rose Gold and can be applied to the crease of your eye, under the eye or wherever your imagination takes you. Both of the eyeshadows can be applied wet for a rich and creamy look, or dry for a subtle and shimmery look.

Last, but certainly not least, is the The Iconic Beauty Secrets Everyone Wants Kit. It is beautifully packaged, making it a standout-gift, and can be used everyday or on special occasions. The kit includes the award-winning Magic Cream, social media sensation Beauty Light Wand, Pillow Talk matte lipstick and a plumping lip gloss.

The cream, which is infused with Cushion + Lift Mesh Technology, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamins C + E, visibly plumps up the skin and preps it nicely for a flawless makeup. The Beauty Light Wand creates a beautiful glow and can be applied under the eyebrows, on the bridge of your nose, cheek bones, top of the upper lip or middle of the lower lip. Meanwhile, the Pillow Talk matte lipstick paints the perfect natural rose-nude lip and the plumping lip gloss gives an instant plumping effect.

These items retail for a total of $397.

For the one who loves coffee: Nespresso Vertuo+ & Accessories

Few things are better in life than a hot, fresh cup of coffee, and with Nespresso’s Vertuo+ range you can do just that: all winter long, with a variety of flavours!

Put together the ultimate dream package for someone special this holiday season, starting with the elegant Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Matte Black Gold. This is Nespresso’s smallest, most colourful Vertuo ever. Now you can brew six sizes of coffee – hot or with ice – without sacrificing precious counter space. This machine features CENTRIFUSION™ technology to gently and fully brew the following coffee sizes: Espresso, Double Espresso, Gran Lungo, Mug, Alto & Cold Brew Style. The compact size of the machine is perfect: it can be kept in an office, a kitchen or a coffee bar.

Vertuo+ is user-friendly but also technologically forward. Connecting it to your WIFI network with your smartphone will enable the machine to update itself automatically, ensuring you always get the best possible coffee experience. The Nespresso app is also a great interface where you can check your machine’s status, access tutorial videos and even find step-by-step procedures for machine maintenance. By allowing push notifications, you will receive messages when your machine needs your attention.

For the ultimate holiday-themed gift, make sure to complement the Vertuo+ with 20 capsules of Unforgettable Double Espresso, 20 capsules of the Almond Croissant Flavour and 20 capsules of the Peanut and Roasted Sesame Flavour. And, of course, no holiday present would be complete without the Festive Travel Mug and 2 Barista Cocktail Glasses (for when you want to host someone)!

These items retail for a total of $348.

For the one who loves luxurious spa/salon experiences: Oribe Holiday Sets

It’s pretty, luxurious and would make an exceptional gift this holiday season! Rounding off our list this year is Oribe’s Holiday 2024 Collection, featuring an exclusive collaboration with Kenyan fine art photographer Thandiwe Muriu. Her vibrant, African-inspired artwork graces the 6 limited-edition gift sets, embodying the spirit of community and celebration.

Muriu’s designs, infused with rich symbolism and traditional patterns, echo the timeless African proverb: “When your sister does your hair, you do not need a mirror.” This year’s collection beautifully captures the essence of togetherness and joy, celebrating both the art of hair and the art of giving. 

We especially love the Gold Lust Collection and the Côte d’Azur Body & Fragrance Collection. Pairing these two sets would ensure the ultimate salon or spa-like experience, wherever you are.

The Gold Lust Collection features some of Oribe’s most iconic products. The Gold Lust Shampoo rejuvenates hair to its healthiest prime, while Gold Lust Conditioner undoes the damage of time — and style. The third product in this set is the Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil that works miracles on wet hair, seals in shine before heat styling, and smooths in softness and luster on dry hair. 

The Côte d’Azur Body & Fragrance Collection is another fabulous set that features Oribe’s signature fragrance: a sensual, citrusy floral evocative of the classic glamour of the French Riviera. It’s paired with the softening Body Wash and Body Crème for the ultimate spa-like home experience. Enjoy!

These sets retail for a total of $363 (valued at $486).
