The holidays are quickly approaching, and when it comes to shopping for the people close to me, I love to choose pieces that will add a touch of luxury to their every day (or whenever they use it). I'm talking about items that feel special and, despite being small in size, bring an overwhelming sense of comfort, pleasure, elegance, and joy. Little luxuries make for wonderful gifts because they allow you to spoil someone in an understated way without maxing out your spending limit.

Below, I'm sharing my curated list of covetable small luxury items that are guaranteed to delight your nearest and dearest, from elegant earrings and luxurious skincare to designer sunglasses and fancy candles. Whether you're looking for the perfect piece for your friend who loves to host or want a beauty item for your sister, there is a whole host of luxury gift ideas to inspire your holiday shopping.
