A new guide to luxury gifts for 2026 brings together splurge-worthy ideas for special occasions, while advising shoppers to consider whether a recipient will actually use what they buy. Its selections range from home and kitchen items to accessories, travel and outdoor experiences.
Featured picks include the Anastasio Home Sculptural Handle Box for keepsakes and a set of Heath Wagoner Knot cocktail picks for hosts. Fashion options include JW Anderson’s Loafer Leather Crossbody Bag and a Lauren Manoogian merino-blend headscarf, while the Rimowa Original Cabin Wheeled Carry-On is presented as a high-end travel choice.
For an experience-focused present, the guide recommends a stay at the Six Bells Countryside Inn. The hotel was designed in collaboration with New York firm GrecoDeco and received an AD Great Design Hotel Award in 2025. Other ideas mentioned include a high-end espresso machine, a professional-grade massage gun and a state-of-the-art pizza oven.
