Fashion Spurge Gifts
Pistola Lexi Barrel Jeans
Pistola jeans are our absolute favorite jeans. We have a petite build, and they have this style in a petite size—making it the perfect fit. Regardless of your body type, these jeans fit exceptionally well. The Artisan wash is our favorite!
Kimono Pajama Set
If you love a gorgeous pajama set to lounge in, then this kimono set is the one to buy. The bell sleeves and the wide-leg pants make these pajamas so comfortable and stylish. The set comes in several patterns and colorways, so you can choose the one that’s perfect for you.
LOEWE Flamenco Medium Leather Clutch
We love having a go-to mini bag to take to events in the evening or on date nights. The gold ‘donut chain’ adds an elegant touch, but can also be taken off if you prefer a more casual look. This leather clutch from Loewe is so stunning and will elevate any outfit — no matter the time of year.
Celine Triomphe 52MM Oval Sunglasses
Once you have a high-quality set of sunglasses, you’ll never look back. We love the classic style of these Celine oval sunglasses. Plus, they come in multiple colorways if you prefer a solid black or brown finish instead.
Ralph Lauren Cotton-Linen Crewneck Bear Sweater
There’s nothing more classic and luxe than a Ralph Lauren sweater. Their bear sweater is so cozy and the perfect piece to wear to a weekend brunch, taking a stroll around the park, or layering under a button-down for a business-casual look.
Mackage Olive Down Belted Jacket
Living in a cold climate during the fall and winter, a high-quality puffer coat is a must. The silhouette of this puffer from Mackage is so chic. The addition of the belt and the scarf neck keeps the coat snug to your body and makes the extra effort to keep you warm.
Beatrix Large Tote Bag
There’s nothing more luxe than a Gucci bag in my opinion. When I saw this Beatrix bag with the signature Horsebit detail, it had to be added to my wishlist. I’m super picky about designer bags and knowing how and when to invest my money in them. However, this one would be worth it — the rise, functionality, and casual style are top tier.
Perfect Cashmere Cable-Knit Sweater
In my opinion, cashmere sweaters are 100% the money every single time. My favorite place to shop for them is at J.Crew, because there are so many color options and styles to choose from. This cable-knit cashmere sweater is the perfect cozy addition to your winter wardrobe.
Hallie Leather Boots
A winter wardrobe staple I always invest in every couple of years is a high-quality pair of black boots. The Hallie Boots are perfect boots to wear with jeans or dress up with tights and a skirt for an evening event.
Verbier Coat
Fur coats are trending this winter, and we’re here for it! If you’re looking to splurge on one this holiday season, we highly recommend the Verbier Coat. The ultra plush faux fur will keep you warm and will provide maximum comfort for cold winter days.
Lab Diamond Stud Earrings
Over the past couple of years, we’ve started investing in high-quality jewelry. Something that will never go out of style is a gorgeous set of diamond earrings. What’s so neat about these is that you can choose the carat weight you prefer and the metal detail you’d like — making it an intentionally designed gift just for you.
Home Splurge Gifts
York Slope Arm Deep Seat Slipcovered Sofa
Investing in high-quality furniture has been one of the smartest decisions we’ve ever made. The furniture lasts longer and doesn’t wear down as much over time. That’s what we love so much about the York Slope Sofa. It’s a classic piece for your living room. Plus, it’s so comfortable and plush, and you can customize the fabric for your aesthetic and lifestyle.
The Sophie Faux Fur Throw Blanket
One of the best decorative pieces I’ve added to my bedroom and living room is this luxe faux fur blanket from Anthropologie. When I’m not cuddled up on the couch with it, I lay it at the foot of my bed to add a cozy touch to my bedroom.
Breville ® Barista Express ® Impress Espresso Machine
I can not live without my espresso machine in the morning. It’s an investment I made over five years ago, and it’s been one of the best additions to my kitchen. I rarely ever buy coffee out anymore, because my at-home lattes somehow always taste better.
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Absolute
Speaking as a person who has cats, I’m always looking for ways to make keeping my house today easier and more accessible. That’s what I love most about the Dyson Submarine vacuum. It doubles as a vacuum and a mop, so you can clean up messes and animal fur seamlessly throughout the day.
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1
If you don’t already have an air purifier, allow me to convince you that you need one. It’s great for purifying the air on a normal basis. However, I particularly love using it when there’s an unwanted smell in my house. After turning it on, it purifies the air and makes it smell fresher in a matter of several minutes.
Tech Splurge Gifts
Hatch Alarm Clock
I was gifted the Hatch alarm clock last Christmas, and it has changed my life. It’s made waking up easier and more natural for my circadian rhythm. If you invest in nothing else on this list, do yourself a favor and get the Hatch alarm clock. It’s more than worth it!
Samsung Frame TV
Samsung Frame TVs are the perfect way to elevate the look of your living room or bedroom. They seamlessly blend into your wall, because when you aren’t using it, you can choose a piece of artwork to display — making it an art piece rather than a black rectangle on the wall.
iMac Desktop
After years of using a laptop at home, we finally invested in an iMac desktop computer. To say it has changed our work life is an understatement. Not only does it make tasks easier, but it has also made working more efficient with the bigger screen and better processing time.
Canon G7X Mark III
If you love creating content for social media or just to enjoy for yourself, then the “camera of the generation” is a tech item worth investing in. Although the price has significantly increased due to the demand for the product, it’s still the best digital camera on the market.
Wellness Splurge Gifts
Infrared 2 – Person FAR Infrared Sauna
Treat yourself and your family to health and wellness this holiday season with an infrared sauna. This helps you sweat out toxins and is proven to be beneficial to your health. This is at the top of our wishlist this year — especially in the colder winter months.
HigherDOSE Full Body Red Light Mat
Red light therapy is all the rage right now, and now you can do it in the comfort of your home. We totaled up the cost of what red light therapy would be at a clinic or gym, and it’s cheaper to invest in one of these mats than it is to subscribe to a full year at a gym.
Peloton Cross Training Tread
While I love running outside, on blistery cold winter days and hot summer evenings, running inside sounds like a great idea to get a quick sweat in. The Peloton training treadmill is the perfect addition to your workout routine, because it has personal trainers who teach running classes and a variety of other cardio and strength classes.
Brooks Glycerin 22 Sneakers
One of the best purchases we’ve made in our fitness journey was investing in high-quality running shoes. We train and run in the Brooks Glycerin shoes and cannot speak more highly of them. You feel like you’re walking on clouds. They are truly amazing!
