Little luxuries, those small, dazzling, I-saw-this-and-thought-of-you treasures, are the heroes of the holiday season, here to solve every gift-giving conundrum.

THE LITTLE LUXURIES EDIT

This has been the year of bag charms, and there is one for every personality, from Amiri’s subtle bandana tie, to Alexander Wang’s bedazzled Bearess, to Loewe’s futuristic brass and enamel Knight Cat inspired by artist Louis Wain (instant conversation starter). The best thing is most of these charms also do double duty as key rings.

Wouldn’t it be a thrill to find a sexy Bvlgari Serpenti ring or a cheerful Gucci Play watch at the bottom of a holiday stocking? Jewelry is always a good idea. For the friend who dresses in quiet luxury but lives for details, Anine Bing’s curved shell earrings and Reformation’s tassels are chic bets.

Now to scent and glow. There’s a candle out there for everyone. Diptyque’s seasonal Sapin candle is basically a pine tree forest in wax form, while Allen Edmonds’ Ranger Station candle adds a touch of leather, and comes in a glass that can be used for your favorite spirit after the candle is gone.

For something more unexpected, Byredo Mojave Ghost hair perfume is the best spritz of “what smells so good?” out there, while a Hermès nail polish in that unmistakable orange box will guarantee a smile.

For the guy who likes a little flash, Amiri’s red credit card holder checks out. And for the host who curates everything, Hermès playing cards are a sure bet. Then there are the wildcard gifts—the ones that make people laugh, but they still keep. Consider Balenciaga’s fur purse strap or a Berluti cigar holder as wildly luxe creature comforts.

Round the corner on your gift list with the cozy and the delicious. A COS triangle scarf is the season’s hot new neck warmer, and Allen Edmonds’ candy cane socks will put pep in anyone’s step. And when all else fails, there’s always chocolate: Läderach Switzerland’s Reindeer Finn is too cute not to love.
