Sure, you’ve barely picked out a Halloween costume, and no, you’re not quite ready to put “All I Want for Christmas Is You” on repeat. But chances are, the holidays are creeping into your thoughts – and what better way to prep for them than by snapping up those big-ticket gift buys? (No judgement if the first person on your shopping list is yourself.)
With that go-for-it spirit in mind, we asked three of our trusty Curators to recommend luxe picks that are begging for a wow moment.
Cartier Love 18K Gold Bracelet
“First, I’d like to say, I hope my boyfriend is reading this. The Love bracelet by Cartier is one of the most iconic pieces of jewelry out there today, and it is truly timeless. Help a loved one start their collection of all three colors: yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. As a yellow gold girl all the way, that’s my first choice (and it’s the original).” – Bari, Beauty Director
Yves Saint Laurent Dress Shirt
“Every year for the holidays, I buy one festive piece of clothing to wear to parties and events, a fun departure from my everyday look. This YSL shirt screams deck the halls but is still classic, and it would make a great gift for any guy in your life. With a tuxedo jacket and jeans, he’d be good to go all season long.” – John, Creative Director
Chanel Quilted Caviar Flap Bag
“I’ve been wanting a Chanel bag for, oh, just about my whole life. This neutral navy one would go with just about everything in my wardrobe. And did I mention it’s big enough to carry around my everyday essentials? Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone special, think of it as an investment piece that will never go out of style.” – Loredana, Fashion Director
