Ugg plush throw blanket
Nothing says lap of luxury like luxury on your lap.

Steve Madden men’s Chelsea boot

Chelsea boots are easy to slip on and provide men’s apparel with a sleek transition from pants to shoes without breaking the bank.

Hand-blown wine decanter
A wine decanter is a practical gift that any host or wine lover will use regularly.
Accompanied by an artisanal bottle of wine, this decanter makes a maximal gift for a new homeowner or a newfound wine enthusiast.
It is a charming and lush addition to any bar cart.
Battery operated picture frame light
An overly lit space in a home isn’t appealing to the naked eye and definitely doesn’t scream luxury.
Rather than turning on every light in the house when hosting, lamps, sconces and picture frame lights are an optimal way to set the mood and accent a piece worth taking a second look at.
You won’t see picture frame lighting in many homes and the more rare an aesthetic is, the more luxurious it becomes.
Mackenzie-Childs salt and pepper shakers
Hermes and Tiffany & Co., among other high-end brands, produce China and dinnerware that is overpriced for the everyday American.
While they may not be worth the price tag to many shoppers, posh cookware, serveware, drinkware and more are home items collected by any lover of luxe.
Mackenzie-Childs products are highly sought after and, while price tags aren’t the least inexpensive you’ll find, the well-made ceramic stock is hand decorated and considered a luxe holiday gift.

Women’s crystal clutch bag
Crystal accessories are often loud, so selecting a style that doesn’t scream tacky is key when browsing.
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER IN YOUR LIFE THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK
In order to ensure the elegance of crystal accessories, opt for a design with minimal to no coloring.
While a clutch completely covered in crystals may appear to be too much, it is preferred to the alternative, which is a partially decorated bag.
30-inch dough bowl centerpiece candle
Sure, the purpose of candles is to create an ambiance and activate an opulent aroma.
However, candles can also act as a centerpiece and never see the light of a match.
This 30-inch doughbowl piece is a neutral table highlight that takes up space but minimally adds dimension.
Men’s wool blend jacket
When shopping for a man, opt into basics but out of the most common items spotted out and about.
A wool blended jacket provides warmth and a unique, timeless style. Step away from the boring, overdone puffer jackets for your man this winter and consider a quality jacket made of wool.
Don’t skimp on the men in your life this holiday season. A wool jacket is a great gift that costs under $100. (iStock)
