The most indulgent gifts don't have to be large (or expensive). Sometimes it's the petite offerings—those that enhance life's little yet meaningful moments—that have the biggest impact. Consider the serum that ensures a daily dose of self-care to look forward to, the vase used to hold "just because" flowers, or the glassware clinked after a heartfelt toast. Whether you're looking for a winning stocking stuffer or the gift, the items below will inspire you to think small.
Taking time for oneself can feel like the ultimate extravagance. Help turn their bathroom into a sanctuary with spa-like products they wouldn't think to buy for themselves: A body-sculpting gua sha tool can minimize water retention and soothe sore muscles. A facial massager helps replicate their favorite aesthetician's lifting and depuffing techniques at home. And a dreamy serum (the Icon Award-winning Olay Super Serum is our must-gift) paired with a nourishing moisturizer will pamper their skin day after day.
Look for design touches that reflect their personality and can be put to use for occasions of any magnitude. We suggest picks like artful wineglasses in modern colors, a palm-sized vase that livens up a tablescape or end table, or a sculptural candle in a vessel too chic not to repurpose.
While clothing can be a challenge to gift, accessories are statement-making pieces they'll be excited to unwrap. For the most on-trend on your list, a patent red mini purse will no doubt delight. Long pearl drop earrings are the ones they'll reach for on their next vacation, and chrome silver nail polish truly goes with everything. Finally, a new signature scent, inspired by your knowledge of their unique sense of style, will quickly become the most coveted item on their vanity.
