The Best Gifts To Splurge On
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a great gift. But if you want to splurge on your loved ones, we have some suggestions, from practical gifts that will save time to presents that will help them indulge in some TLC.
Skylight Calendar
It’s hard for busy families to stay organized, especially when they’re relying on paper planners or one parent’s calendar app. That makes the Skylight Calendar 2 well worth its price tag: The 15-inch touch screen syncs with digital calendars from multiple devices and displays all appointments, tasks, and events, so your loved ones are all on the same page. (It also syncs with the Skylight smartphone app, allowing them to be up to date even when they’re on the go.) Kids can access interactive chore charts and earn rewards for completing tasks, and adults can make meal plans and to-do lists. There’s even an AI planning assistant that can pull in events from emails, import recipes, create shopping lists, and more.
roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop
Vacuuming and mopping are chores everyone has to do, but few actually enjoy. You can give your loved ones more time to kick back and relax by gifting them roborock’s Q10 S5+ vacuum and mop. It avoids obstacles (including pets that won’t move out of the way) and automatically ratchets up suction over carpets. It’s also equipped with anti-tangle technology that minimizes hair wrapped around its parts, and it empties itself into a bag (stored in the dock) that doesn’t need to be taken out for more than two months, so there’s less overall maintenance. The mop actually scrubs floors, rather than just dragging a wet cloth over them, and detects and lifts up over carpets. Even better, it has app and voice control, so your loved one can adjust suction, change modes, or direct it to a new area without getting off the couch.
Angara Limited Edition 2026 Advent Calendar
There’s a particular kind of joy in a Christmas countdown. This year, Angara is bringing that holiday feeling to fine jewelry with its with 12 Days of Gems advent calendar. Behind each of the 12 doors sits a piece of fine jewelry, chosen to surprise on the day and to be worn long after. You’ll find earrings, pendants, and bracelets, in gemstone, diamond, and polished plain metal designs crafted in solid 14K gold or sterling silver. And the best part? You get these 12 pieces of fine jewelry for just $1,996. [PARTNER]

Staub Ceramique Rectangular Baking Dish Set
This two-piece ceramic set from Staub is the perfect gift for the cook in your life — they can use it to make everything from lasagna to casseroles, and the stoneware will retain heat well even after it’s left the oven. The dishes are scratch-resistant and broiler-safe, can go in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher, and stack for easy storage. The set is available in seven vibrant colors, meaning it looks great on the table, too.
Iittala Ultima Thule Double Old-Fashioned Glasses
These unusual, 9.5-ounce cocktail glasses are part of a larger collection designed in 1968 by Finnish sculptor Tapio Wirkkala. The glasses, which were inspired by melting ice in Lapland, are made by blowing glass into wooden molds, which change over time as the hot glass burns the surface away. They’re sturdier than they look: Three longer glass bubbles on the bottom ensure they don’t wobble, and they’re dishwasher-safe for easy clean up. And though they’re technically meant for old-fashioneds, every cocktail looks (and tastes) great in them.

These picks are proof that “affordable” isn’t a drawback — each one brings something special to the table, whether it’s a tiny luxury or a surprising upgrade.
Owala FreeSip Water Bottle
The Owala FreeSip is popular for a reason: It’s available in multiple sizes (including 24 and 32 ounces) and in countless colorways, and its two-in-one lid locks but lets you quickly sip from a straw or tilt back the bottle to drink. It’s a cute, largely spill-proof gift to get a friend or your perpetually dehydrated family member.
Biblioscent Fragrant Bookmark
The book lover in your life will appreciate these delightfully scented bookmarks, created by perfumer and author Mandy Aftel to enhance the reading experience. Each has a distinct scent — vetiver, geranium, frankincense, or ginger — revealed by scratching, as well as a beautiful vintage illustration of the plant lending its fragrance. Saving a spot has never smelled (or looked) so good.
