2026 Gift Guide: Luxurious Favorites

I’m kicking off gift guide season with the kinds of presents I’d be thrilled to find under the tree (if I didn't own and love them already!). Whether you’re shopping for a mother-in-law who seems to have everything or putting together a wish list to forward to your significant other, this guide is full of little luxuries that feel like a real treat. Every pick is an extra-special take on a classic gift, from a cable-knit cashmere blanket with her monogram to beautiful leather accessories and diamond earrings she’ll reach for every morning. You’ll find plenty of things I own and love, alongside a few I haven’t stopped thinking about, all chosen to make her feel thoroughly spoiled.

• I just got this cable-knit cashmere blanket, and it looks and feels like this iconic blanket that costs twice as much! (Plus, you can monogram it for a personal touch!)
• My brown leather gloves have been on repeat with my coats this fall, so polished for everything from date nights to morning drop-off.
• I love how these pavé diamond knot studs feel modern yet timeless, an everyday luxury she'll never take off.
• Petrol velvet and a tiny bow make these ballet flats so festive with jeans or tights and a dress.
• This black velvet clutch with its long tassel adds just the right amount of drama to jeans and a black coat or evening looks alike.
• Who doesn't love receiving a really good sweater? This cashmere turtleneck (20% off with SF20) is so quietly luxurious with that little cable running down the sleeve. (I have several of their cashmere sweaters and they're fantastic!) I'm also drooling over this chunky cable turtleneck. I love that it's a wool-cotton blend so you don't overheat.
• That sculptural gold clasp turns this black leather clutch into a little piece of jewelry for every date night or holiday party. (This shearling coat from the same brand is at the top of my personal wishlist!)
• So soft and flattering, this cable-knit cashmere set is perfect for family time over the holidays. I have it in two colors and it's machine washable!
• This night cream is my holy grail beauty product and the one step I never skip in my skincare routine. (They're so committed to clean ingredients, they put their Yuka score on the product page!) Use code STACIE for 20% off and early access to their Black Friday sale.
• I've admired this little leather clutch for months. Perfect for work, evening or looking fabulous every day, the only question is which color to choose? (Cherry and black are my top two!)
• Gold embroidery makes these smoking slippers so chic for a dressed-up dinner or with jeans at home.
• A vintage watch from my friend Eric Wind is the ultimate gift. He has watches with incredible stories like this Patek Philippe that belonged to Joe DiMaggio, as well as beautiful pieces like this ladies' Rolex he's selling on NAP. (And yes, he can even source hard-to-find pieces for you!) I just preordered his new book, which would also make an incredibly lovely gift for the vintage watch enthusiast in your life.
• Cozy, warm, and so flattering, these shearling suede boots have a side zip, so no fussing with the laces. (Plus, they are made in the same factories as designer labels, but cost a fraction of the price!)
• Ever since I saw the original design drawings, I've been obsessed with this diamond dome ring. Their Black Friday sale just launched, and 25% off is a meaningful discount. (I wear mine as a pinky ring for megawatt sparkle!) This is my favorite everyday ring that can be set with the birthstones most meaningful to you! (Also on sale!)
• Dual voltage makes this compact air styler the perfect travel companion for a glossy blowout anywhere.
• For the traveler on your list, this ribbed trunk suitcase (20% off with STACIESM20) has such a glamorous, vintage aviation feel. (I just got the cream version of their checked suitcase (20% off with STACIESM20) and the quality is wonderful!)
• These European travel guides are written by true insiders and the chicest people on earth. The perfect stocking stuffer for the jet-setter in your life, or tuck them into the suitcase above as an extra sweet surprise. (Plus they look gorgeous on your bookshelf!)
• There's nothing quite like unwrapping a beautiful dress, like this (15% off with STACIE15), this or this, paired with tickets to the ballet or opera.
• This leather agenda is a modern heirloom perfect for starting off the new year, and I just got their small notebook and folding leather frame in oyster blue. You can have their pieces monogrammed too!
• My plum suede pochette has unreal quality for the price, and looks beautiful with casual or dressy looks.
• Practical and stylish, this checked canvas tote got so many questions when I carried it to a holiday market last weekend. (Also love this blue version.)
• The Asscher diamond framed in baguettes makes this hinged charm feel like a vintage Art Deco find.
• Even though I'm not really one for scented candles, I have two of these silver Ralph Lauren candles. They smell divine and look equally beautiful on your dresser.
• Like fabulous jewelry for your feet, these ruby velvet mules with crystal straps add instant cheer for holiday parties. (These (20% off with SF20) are a great flat option that looks great with jeans or dressier looks.)
• Tartan pajamas (size up!) in crisp cotton poplin are my idea of the perfect gift. This pattern is perfect all winter long.
• Since spotting (pun intended) a woman in London carrying this leopard calf hair tote, I haven't stopped thinking about it!
• Four people stopped me in one day in New York City to ask about this autumnal cashmere silk floral scarf! Reminds me of Hermès, and makes a great gift because one size fits all!
• A navy lacquer tray with a wavy edge is so chic on a vanity for rings, or opt for the larger size for serving breakfast in bed!
• Cozy shearling trim and a lug sole make these suede loafers a splurge she'll wear all winter long.
• This cashmere crewneck sweater is almost identical to one by The Row, and feels so chic even with a simple jeans and herringbone ballet flats uniform.
• Of course I have to mention my diamond studs if you don't already have them. (They look great with everything from a Pilates set to cocktail dresses.) For diamonds with an unexpected twist, this tennis bracelet looks great stacked with classic tennis styles or paired with a watch.
