It’s a scenario we all know too well. You’ve got a big occasion coming up, and you don’t know what gift to get. Said friend or family member seems to already own everything, and to make it even worse, when you asked them if they wanted anything they came back at you with ‘your company’. Whilst you could give them a redeemable coupon for so many hours of quality time – or offer to replace their current PA – there are more practical ways to navigate this problem: drop loads of cash and add a personal touch.
Luckily for you, we’ve put together a luxury gift guide which can cater to every kind of person provided they have a taste for the finer things in life. Whether they’re a jet setter, music enthusiast or just enjoy a good glass of champagne, we’ve got you covered.
Rolex Daytona Cosmograph
A Rolex Daytona is a gift that never stops giving. It outperforms traditional financial assets, making it a great investment that they can also wear. It’s one of the brand’s most iconic models, featuring a sleek combination of performance and style. Since its inception in 1963, it has appealed to motorsports enthusiasts everywhere, with advanced chronograph functions where precision meets performance. This luxury gift is especially meaningful when given to investment managers, petrol heads or tidsoptimists*. From £24,500
*A tidsoptimist is a person who underestimates how long something takes, and also overestimates how much time they have at their disposal; i.e, they’re always late.
McLaren Track Day Experience
This is the perfect bucket list experience for an adrenaline junkie, up there with skydiving, freesolo-ing and diving with sharks. Being behind the wheel of a McLaren is sure to get the heart pumping, and seeing as you’re gifting an experience there’s no risk they already have it. There’s always the chance they’ve already done it, but I imagine you need a few goes before 200mph feels slow. If nothing else, it will keep them off Death Road in Bolivia. £389
Bespoke Savile Row Wardrobe
This is an excellent way to guarantee that your gift won’t be shoved to the back of a cupboard full of miscellaneous items and forgotten about. The bespoke tailoring experience at London’s legendary Saville Row will don the person of your affection with a fully customised wardrobe, including suits, shirts and outwear. Using only the finest fabrics and craftsmanship, this gift is bound to refine individual style whilst exuding sophistication. £3,500+
Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Harmony TV
Yes, they’ve got a TV, but have they got a TV that unfolds and rises into the sky on wings? Didn’t think so. The Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Harmony TV has a generous screen size of 88 inches, and promises a full-bodied cinematic performance. It comes equipped with an exceptional sound system and cutting-edge display technology, allowing you to jump into the world of whatever movie you’re watching. Fall asleep to the soft serenade of David Attenborough’s voice whilst whale-watching, or reach new levels of sensory stimulation in a fast-paced Guy Ritchie number. With a Bang & Olufson, the world’s your oyster. £45,040
Steinway & Sons Grand Piano
For the musically inclined, a Steinway & Sons grand piano combines impeccable craftsmanship with world-class sound quality. They take almost a year to create, composed of carefully selected woods before being cured for months in specialised yard kilns and conditioning rooms. A Steinway is more than just an instrument, it’s a statement piece for your home, bringing art and music together in perfect harmony. £60,400 to £70,100
Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman (Limited Edition)
This chair is enough to make even Joey and Chandler jealous. A true design icon, this limited edition piece is crafted with exclusive materials such as leather and rare woods. It is the ultimate luxury for your living space or office, transforming a space with mid-century modern design. Forget the BarcaLounger, this is much more comfortable. £5,200
DJI Inspire 3 Professional Drone
A drone is definitely one of the coolest gifts you can give to a tech enthusiast or aspiring filmmaker. This DJI Inspire 3 is a professional-grade drone that captures stunning 8K video. It features advanced flight control, obstacle sensing, and cinematic camera capabilities, ensuring top-grade aerial footage that is almost too good to post on social media. £13,400
Dom Pérignon P2 2002 Champagne Set
Champagne is always a good idea. It’s a decadent indulgence, perfect for celebratory moments. Rocking up to an engagement party? Champagne. New puppy? Champagne. Finally getting round to taking the yacht out for a spin? Wouldn’t be right without champagne. Gifting a Dom Pérignon P2 2002 Vintage Champagne Set ensures that whoever is on the receiving end always has a back up for unexpected jubilant moments. In some ways, it’s almost practical? £420
Louis Vuitton Horizon Luggage Set
This is a gift that you’d probably want to wrap before it gets manhandled at Gatwick. At the intersection of high fashion and practicality, the Louis Vuitton Horizon Luggage Set is a fail safe present for frequent travellers. The lightweight design and four-wheel feature makes it the perfect accessory for over-packers – transporting ‘slightly’ over 23kg has never felt so good. The Horizon collection is encased with the brand’s iconic monogram canvas or sleek leather, ensuring that the jet-setter is always travelling in style. £5,620
Flyboard by Zapata
Go down to St Aubins and upstage all the jet skiers with a Flyboard by Zapata. It is currently the closest we’ve gotten to inventing a jet pack, and it won’t set your legs on fire as it projects you into space. It’s a gift that will be appreciated by thrill-seekers and their loved ones alike; a bruised ego from a bad belly flop is probably the worst injury they’ll get. £750
