15 Best Affordable Luxury Gifts From Designer Brands
Here are gifts for your most luxurious friends, all under $100.
The holiday season is a time to treat ourselves, and our loved ones, to the finer things we normally wouldn't indulge in. Buying a designer item fits the bill, however, not all of us can break the bank every December, especially with an entire list of people to shop for.
Luckily, there are a few items with more reasonable price tags, even from luxury brands like Marc Jacobs and Comme des Garçons. We compile a list of 15 potential gifts, all under $100, that will wow your friends and family without requiring too much of a splurge. If you buy one for yourself too, well, no one has to know.
Perfect for your jet-setting friend or family member, this set of travel-inspired postcards and stickers makes for a fun novelty gift, with the luxe Louis Vuitton touch.
Tote bags are how modern city folk let others know that they're "with the times." A branded tote denotes a sophisticated, but not snobby, individual. This one comes with a sentimental message too.
Rings are so hot right now. We all took a break from wearing them during the onslaught on mid-pandemic hand sanitizing, but they're making a swift return. Gift someone this band in rose, orchid, or cream.
Socks are a staple holiday gift. They are eternally being pulled out of gift bags and Christmas stockings. Make the exchange a bit more exciting by choosing this funky pair from Acne Studios.
Telfar is one of the hottest new brands on the planet right now. Wearing its signature "T" logo signals to in-the-know passerby that you are hip to the fashion scene. Give the gift of relevancy to one of your closest companions this holiday season with its belt (available in all shades of the rainbow).
Comme des Garçons little googly-eyed heart will live on in infamy forever. Snagging one under $100 is no easy feat, but we've done it with this t-shirt embroidered with not one, but two hearts. It's available in both black and navy.
Get not one, but three pairs of Off-White ankle socks at Neiman Marcus. The best part of this deal, besides the price, is that the socks are short enough to have the logo peeking out from under your pant leg. Subtle flex for your hypebeast friends or relatives.
Canaga Goose: one of the bougiest outerwear brands. However, it is popular in part because of the genuine quality of its products. This wool scarf will keep your loved ones warm all winter long. You can purchase it in either black or red.
The bralette: perhaps my favorite invention. In the winter, let's be honest, we're all donning a bralette under those chucky sweaters. Who could stand to be both cold and repeatedly poked by an underwire?
Graphic tees never go out of style, and Kenzo's offers an athletic appeal. Grab your sportiest friend this designer piece and pray they don't get it all muddy at soccer practice, or do. It might be cooler that way.
Alexander McQueen was known for his affinity for anything macabre. That fascination is reflected in the brand's kitchy skull keyrings. The little stocking stuffers are floating around the Internet, so take your pick between black, white, or silver.
Calvin Klein makes a range of products, many of them affordable. Though many of the more luxury products fall into a higher price range, we found this staple leather belt, perfect for someone who is still building the foundations of a quality wardrobe.
It-girl approved brand Jacquemus has a whole arsenal of trendy accessories worth gifting, including this cozy branded headband that we're sure to see everywhere this winter. Available in eight colors, you can go as neutral or bold as you want.
There's nothing quite as absurd and amazing as toting around a Prada water bottle. It's so hilarious that it might just be the perfect gift, both functional and cute.
