Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

There’s nothing better than pulling together your giftee’s group of loved ones so you can collectively buy a Really Great Gift, which we’re capitalizing because…Really Great Gifts are truly a different kind. These luxury gifts, from jewelry and kitchen gadgets to stunning flower arrangements, are the ones that’ll have them saying you knocked it out of the park. And in addition to loving whatever they unwrap, your lucky recipient will feel extra special knowing so many people were thinking of them.

A five-diamond necklace…

OK, showstopper. This 18-karat necklace has five dainty diamonds that are evenly spaced out along the neckline.

You simply can’t go wrong with gifting them some nice bath towels. This bestselling bundle comes with two bath sheets and two hand towels. They’re made of 100% Turkish cotton and are extra thick. The bath sheets are slightly larger than regular bath towels, which means they’ll feel even more luxurious. Psst…keep these on your radar if your towels also need an upgrade. ($106.93+, Brooklinen)

Shark

A cordless vacuum that will have you looking for reasons to vacuum…

If “work smarter, not harder” were a vacuum, it would be the Shark® Cordless Detect Pro™. It deep cleans every surface from carpets to hard floors, and intelligently adjusts to dirt around your home. Plus, it automatically charges and empties while docked, so you never have to wrestle with leaky dust bags again. Consider your cleaning game changed. (SharkNinja, $449)*

Cozy Earth

A soft bamboo duvet cover…

We love, and we mean love, this brand. Their viscose bamboo duvet cover is silky, cozy, and breathable. It’ll keep them cool while they sleep, ensuring they get an even better night’s rest. Plus, it has little details we appreciate, like interior snap closures and comforter loops to keep everything in place. It comes in twin, queen, and king sizes, and you can pick from 13 chic, muted hues. ($319+, Cozy Earth)

cozy day hybrid coat
Athleta

A luxe fleece coat they’ll want to live in...

Revolutionize your giftee’s morning commute and travel days with this cozy, high-collared coat. It’s got a long, relaxed fit, and deep pockets so they can stay hands-free. Not to mention it’s machine-washable and made with recycled materials. The only downside? Your other giftees miiiight get a little jealous. ($199, Athleta)*

KitchenAid Mixer

A mixer that can do it all…

If you have an Ina Garten superfan in your life, they’ll be delighted by a classic KitchenAid mixer. It comes with a five-quart stainless steel bowl that has the capacity to hold dough for up to nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread. Plus, they can buy different attachments over time that’ll allow them to make pasta, ice cream, and more. ($449, Amazon)

Buy it
Ode à La Rose

An extra-large bouquet of flowers…

This isn’t your average arrangement. This bundle of flowers packs a punch with 50 beautiful, seasonal stems. The arrangement is so big that it won’t fit in a normal vase — they can simply display it in the craft paper and ribbon it comes in. If you’re shopping for the person who seems to have everything, get this. ($398+, Ode à La Rose)

Buy it
Material Kitchen

A sleek knife set that really works…

This versatile set includes an 8-inch knife, a serrated 6-inch knife, and an almost 4-inch knife, plus a streamlined magnetic stand. They’re made of Japanese high-carbon and stainless steel, and even after a year, they stay sharp. When we tested these out, our editor found that they were just as effective as they were good-looking. ($245, Material Kitchen)

Buy it
Paravel

A structured, monogrammed tote bag…

Nothing beats a personalized gift, and we love Paravel for their practical, customizable options. Made from durable canvas and recycled vegan leather, this tote is large enough to fit all of their essentials. They can carry it over their shoulder, in the crook of their arm, or as a crossbody with the included longer strap. It even has a hidden strap that allows it to sit securely on top of luggage. Pick between tan or black accents, then add their initials. ($295+, Paravel)

Buy it
Bearaby

A weighted blanket for extra relaxation at the end of the day…

Here’s a gift they’ll likely be obsessed with — but might not buy themselves. The bestselling Bearaby weighted blanket is so cozy, and instead of using beads or artificial fillers, it’s made from 100% organic cotton. You can select from 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-pound versions, but if they’re new to weighted blankets, we recommend starting on the lighter side. ($199+, Bearaby)

Buy it
Made In

A stainless steel cookware set…

This set includes two frying pans (one nonstick and one stainless clad), a sauce pan, and a stock pot — aka all the kitchen basics. Everything is induction-compatible and oven-safe, and the handles are even designed to stay cool. Perfect for someone starting out in a new place…or just getting into cooking for the first time. ($529, Made In)

Buy it
Ooni

A perfect gadget for the pizza lover in your life…

This gas-powered pizza oven makes a 12-inch pizza in 60 seconds. And at just 20 pounds, it’s also compact enough to fit in a small outdoor space. It comes with a cordierite stone baking board, plus a gas regulator and hose to connect to their propane tank…not to mention infinite entertaining potential. ($399, Ooni)

Buy it
Dyson

A Dyson hair dryer to streamline their morning routine…

This futuristic-looking device works ultra-fast (trust us) to smooth strands, decrease frizz, and increase shine — no matter their hair type. Because everyone could use a few extra minutes in the morning. It’s also super lightweight and comes with a range of useful attachments that prevent flyaways, diffuse hair, and more. ($429.99, Dyson)

Buy it
Quince

A leather bag perfect for weekend trips…

Quince is one of the best places to shop high-quality clothing and accessories at a reasonable price point. This good-looking Italian leather tote has three zippered compartments, plus a sleeve so it can sit on top of your luggage. It’s lined with a soft cotton twill and has metal feet to keep it clean. The traveler in your life will love this. ($229.90, Quince)

Buy it
July

Durable checked luggage…

July’s suitcases are very sleek — and we had zero negative things to say when we tested them out. This size is great for a trip up to two weeks long, and even comes with a hidden laundry bag. From the durable polycarbonate shell and compression system to the integrated TSA lock that doesn’t require a key, this is the ultimate giftable investment piece. You can personalize it with their initials. ($325+, July)

Buy it
Barefoot Dreams

A cozy throw they’ll never stop talking about…

This is how it always goes: Someone says they’d never spend this much on a blanket…then receives a Barefoot Dreams throw and realizes it’s actually worth the hype. It’s the softest microfiber blanket ever, and it won’t pill, shed, or wrinkle. One of our editors loves hers so much that she travels with it. But it’s also the best for long days on the couch. ($147, Nordstrom)

Buy it
Solawave

An LED skincare wand that’s all over TikTok…

Hello, at-home facial vibes. Your giftee only has to use this for three minutes, three times a week, and they should see reduced blemishes, decreased puffiness, and other benefits. The head swivels from a T-shape to an elongated bar, so you can even customize the experience for different parts of the face. PS: Get 20% off sitewide with code SKIMM20. ($169, Solawave)

Buy it
Neiman Marcus

A wallet that’s as spacious as it is chic…

We’re firm believers in gifting a designer wallet over a handbag, because you know it’s something they’ll actually reach for every day. This one from YSL is made from durable powder-grain calf leather, so it’ll last for years. It’s compact enough to slip into most everyday bags, but it’ll still fit everything they need to keep on hand, with one bill slot and six card slots. What’s not to love? ($675, Neiman Marcus)

Buy it
Nordstrom

A classic timepiece from Tory Burch…

Elevate their everyday stack with this stainless steel watch. In our eyes, it totally doubles as a glimmery bracelet. It has modern gold mesh detailing, but the square face adds a cool, vintage-inspired touch. ($295, Nordstrom)

Buy it
Neiman Marcus

A crossbody bag they’ll wear for years to come…

They can wear this sleek Tom Ford bag with dressier outfits on a night out — or with jeans and a T-shirt for an elevated casual look. Our favorite details? The thicker strap and minimalist gold hardware that take this a step up from your traditional black bag. Plus, it has an easy magnetic closure, interior slots for cards, and a classic shape they’ll reach for again and again. ($1,390, Neiman Marcus)
