The holiday festivities give us the perfect non-negotiable excuse to splurge our hearts out with gifts — either for our friends, loved ones, or for ourselves. It’s never easy to think of the perfect holiday gift but we all have to admit that it becomes even more tasking if we’re thinking of something to give that one fancy fashion-conscious person we have dearly in our lives. Indulging a true fashion enthusiast with gifts is no small feat after all!
Now take a seat, and let me do the thinking for you. I have curated splurge-worthy gift ideas all carefully personalized for the specific type of fashion aficionado you’d like to glamorously spoil. Whether it’s for someone who loves minimalist fashion pieces or someone who loves it with a dash of visually blinding drama, there’s definitely a designer piece you can find in this holiday gift guide.
Splurge-worthy Gift Categories:
There’s beauty in simplicity. This may sound like a total cliche but I’m sure your minimalist friend lives by this mantra in every aspect, most particularly fashion choices. I know you’re probably thinking of gifting an LV Bandouliere or a Dior Book Tote, and while they are undeniably classy, let’s tone down with the logos and go for something more discreet for the ultimate minimalist fashionista. With this in mind, think of designer pieces that will remain timeless, something that displays artful balance. I’d say look for those that look simple but bring a strong impact even on their own, like a gleaming 14k gold bangle or tennis bracelet. It’s simple but for sure can level up any look, channeling the ultimate rich girl kinda vibe.
Now let’s say your minimalist friend is a little more fashion-forward, then give them something more trendy but still very lowkey aesthetic. The famous Coperni swipe bag is a unique splurge-worthy piece that would absolutely sweep any fashionista off their feet. The more muted version is their black baguette bag that dons a pared-down design, which makes it a tasteful and discreet statement.
Gifts for the Minimalist:
If your friend is the type of person who’s got a vibrant character and also loves turning heads, then there are splurge-worthy designer pieces that can help them make a grand entrance! What’s a better stunning gift for them than bright colors, strong silhouettes, and mind-bending details? As I was looking for gift ideas through the Balmain pieces, I stumbled upon their vivid blazers with their signature power shoulder detail! The blazer’s electrifying color and structured shape undoubtedly create a strong fashion statement, perfect for your trendsetter friend!
Of course, if we think of marrying avant-garde and street style, Balenciaga effortlessly comes to a fashionista’s mind. The fashion house’s popular 3XL sneakers sport a dramatic sole that every statement fashion lover is going to swoon at. These rubber shoes aren’t just super stylish, they are worth the splurge for their comfort, artistic look, and of course, versatility. Wear it with pretty much anything and the wearer you'll gift this with will surely feel runway-worthy!
Approaching the end of the year also translates to back-to-back parties, and I’m so sure your party-lover friend who loves luxe fashion as you do would be totally elated to receive a gift that’ll accompany them as they dance the night away! When we think of parties, we imagine blinding lights and glitters, so outfits dripping in sequins and vibrant colors would totally make any person be the life of the party! Dolce & Gabbana ’s collections in recent years were absolutely stunning and always unapologetically extravagant, perfect for the ultimate party animal friend you have in mind to give a fancy gift to.
Dolce & Gabbana’s embellished Derby shoes easily make a bold pair of footwear for the upcoming holiday parties and its very distinctive design is more than enough reason for a splurge. If you’re thinking of something more feminine, you can look for sequined dresses, tweed coordinates, or a bejeweled handbag.
Sparkling Gifts for the Party Animal
Thinking of that someone who hops from one flight to another? Almost never in their own home country and post postcard-worthy snaps on their Instagram. There’s definitely a perfect fashion-forward gift idea for your jetsetter friend! Comfy designer shirts, the coolest pair of sunglasses or a lavish tote bag to fit all their travel necessities — Fendi, Versace, and Saint Laurent got you all covered.
Fendi released a fun and fancy collection in their S/S 2025 collection which featured suitable travel pieces for the world traveler. Oversized tote bags are this year’s biggest fashion trend too, and the splurge-worthy candidates for gift ideas would be from Saint Laurent, Marni, and Etro. You may also try browsing through outerwear collections for travel-friendly jackets and coats to keep your jetsetter friend warm and cozy through the trip. Emporio Armani, DUNST, and Burberry can be very good fashion designer choices as a gift.
For someone who breathes fashion like oxygen, splurging on style pieces as a gift is more than just an indulgence. It’s a celebration of individuality! Spending a bit more on gift-giving can be a rewarding experience both for the giver and the receiver and it gives more meaning if the piece you choose to give is something that’s tailored to that individual’s personality and lifestyle. From the minimalist to the maximalist, the party-goer or world traveler, one can totally find designer pieces that will truly resonate with them and you will have the pleasure of picking the best gift for them!
