Everyone has that one person in their life who enjoys the finer things and doesn’t care who knows it. Such an elegant and luxury-oriented loved one might be difficult to find gifts for, especially if they seem to curate their own possessions with such care and attention. While you might find it challenging to think of the most impactful and potentially cherished gift for this person, there are a few ideas that have been proven to make a lasting positive impression. Keep reading to find the perfect gift inspiration.

A High-End Treatment, Experience, or Trip

It’s likely that if your elegant friend always looks put together and sleek, they know how to look after their physical appearance. This doesn’t mean you can’t surprise them with the gift of a luxury spa experience that allows them to unwind and forget about their daily responsibilities. Gifts that don’t rely upon tangible objects, such as experiences and trips, are perfect for the people in your life who are almost too discerning when it comes to their belongings. For example, if they have mentioned a particular destination that they have always wanted to visit, find a way to surprise them with a vacation there. If they love a certain type of cuisine, book them a table at a restaurant you know they will appreciate. A gift is to show someone how much you care about them and understand them, so it doesn’t matter if it isn’t a gift they can unwrap.

A Statement Accessory

Your elegant friend most likely has a highly attuned sense of taste that makes it either incredibly simple or deceptively difficult to purchase gifts they will love. However, opting for a statement accessory can be a bold move that could subvert even their own expectations of what they like. Unusual and eye-catching pieces, such as a glamorous watch or fun handbag by Judith Leiber, might not immediately strike your friend as being cohesive with their overall style, but such unique gifts often have a way of becoming a firm favorite in anyone’s wardrobe, no matter how refined their style. Often, these surprise pieces can inspire a stylish person to adapt their look and try something new. With a statement accessory, you’re giving not only the gift of a beautiful object but also an opportunity for your friend to experiment.

A Thoughtful Gift Card

Although a gift card might come across as an overly simple gift for when you don’t know what else to buy, it is also a way of giving your discerning friend a choice. Find out where they like to spend their money and give them a gift card. This shows that you understand their refined tastes but don’t presume to guess exactly what they like most. While these gift ideas are perfect for someone in your life with restrictively discerning taste, you might be the most elegant person you know. In which case, treat yourself.
