Feeling overcome by the holiday spirit? Trying to show how much a significant other means to you via a serious financial commitment? Or maybe you’re just looking for something to do while the yacht docks. Seems like you could use a handy list of splurge-y, expensive gifts that’ll blow a six-pack of socks clean out of the water.

InsideHook’s 2024 Gift Guide

There’s no better feeling than giving that perfect holiday gift…and there’s no harder task than finding it. InsideHook is here to help.

There’s truly no feeling like making someone’s holidays (and upending in-law’s attempt to win best present) with an oooh–ahhhh of a luxury item, which is why we’ve compiled a standout guide to the best luxury gifts currently floating through the ether. These A-list items tend to be of higher quality, uniquely designed or one-of-a-kind things you won’t find anywhere else. Enough so that it actually does make sense to ditch gifting a bunch of smaller, less pricey items, for the aforementioned big-boy purchase.

So without further ado, the best splurge-worthy items to gift this holiday season.

Retire their tired recliner and grace their living room with the Papa Bear Chair, which is quite possibly the greatest example of truth in furniture advertising.
