Luxury Gifts for Parents Who Have Everything

Benefits

Our parents provide foundational teaching and support to us, so showing appreciation through giving a luxury item is a great way to demonstrate gratitude, and show that their efforts have been successful. The benefits are numerous.

Elevated Usage Experience

Using a luxury item is more pleasurable than using a cheaper one. The whole process, whether special or mundane, is elevated into something better.

Perfect for Special Occasions

A cheap Bic pen can look very out of place in a special moment, but a luxury Mont Blanc or something similar fits in very well, or can even lift the tone. It is the same with all luxury gifts… they make special occasions that much more special.

Durability and Craftsmanship

The best materials go into these items and are handled by the best craftspeople to ensure the final result is durable and beautiful at once.

Unique Gifting Experience

Your present will stand out. The investment will be appreciated, of course, but so will the thought, the sentiment, and the pleasure of the whole experience.

Personalized Touch

Take advantage of personalization options to make your luxury gift a unique one too. Adding initials, names, or a sentiment can turn a beautiful item into a cherished heirloom.

Sophistication and Style

Luxury items exude style and sophistication. You will feel confident giving such a gift, and the recipient will feel elegant and stylish when using it.

How to Choose

Rather than a daunting, stressful task, the tips and guidelines below should help to make buying a luxury gift for your parent an exciting, enjoyable process.

Purpose

Consider the purpose. Celebrating an anniversary might warrant a single gift for two parents. A birthday, however, will mean homing in on the interests of just one of them. A retirement gift might focus on hobbies and interests as a replacement to the hours previously spent at work – the purpose should inform the type of gift you buy.

Personal Preferences

Consider the interests and hobbies of the recipient. Wine enthusiasts might like a vintage bottle or accessories; a travel junkie might love new luggage, or some elegant travel kits. Consider their style; are they classic, modern, sleek, or bohemian? Might they prefer an experience over an item?

Experiential Luxuries

Some people prefer experiences over items, especially if they already have a home full of ornaments, knick-knacks, and other things. Consider a masterclass, a trip, or a digital subscription to a premium journal or magazine.

Subscription Services

If you want that experience or item to be ongoing, consider a subscription to monthly boxes of curated wine, beer, cheeses, or exclusive books. In this way, a single gift continues delighting your parent all year long.

Historical Connections

If you can find a gift that evokes feelings of connection to history or culture, you can increase the positive impact. Consider antique items, or items crafted in historical areas important to your family.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Handcrafted items are often of very high quality, can be unique, and carry a special significance above what mass-produced items offer. A hand-blown vase, carved box, or similar item might become a cherished treasure.

Sensory Indulgences

Luxury isn’t just about the eyes; the other senses play a big part too. Scent, taste, sound, and tactile features are powerful things. A gourmet food basket can offer something for all of the senses.

Eco-Luxury

Luxury doesn’t mean waste or damage to the environment. Many luxury items and experiences are produced with sustainability in mind. If you or your parent values sustainable and ethical sourcing, there are still many options for luxury gifts.

Functionality

Gifts with purposes have the added benefit of reminding the owner of the occasion each time the gift is used. Look for wearable gifts, kitchen gadgets, or elegant tools.

Exclusivity

Exclusivity often increases the value of a gift. Look for limited editions, customization options, or personalization you can add to an item to make it more special.

Budget

There are luxury items available for almost any budget. Gourmet chocolates, elegant pens, designer bags, vacations, luxury cars, and even homes are all gifts that fit the category, but range widely across budget levels.

Sentimentality

If you can find something that evokes a memory for your parent, the gift becomes much more than an item or experience. Think back through your childhood and look for possible connections to available gifts. Be sure to share that connection with your parent.

Packaging and Presentation

Packaging should be of suitable quality to ensure that your item gets to its destination in perfect condition. In addition to this, the presentation should suit a luxury gift.

After-Sales Service

High-end items and experiences should come with warranties and/or guarantees. It is worth taking the time to ensure the manufacturer and seller back the item you are buying. That indicates that they have confidence in what they’re offering. They should also have an accessible, easy customer service system.

Types

There are several types of gifts you will want to consider before making a final choice. Here are a few to keep in mind.

Jewelry

Give some sparkle, with gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals, encrusted with precious or semi-precious stones that set off any outfit. Jewelry is a statement of elegance, wealth, and taste.

Timepieces

With all of the benefits of jewelry and the ability to tell time and date, a quality watch is a great luxury gift.

Designer Handbags

Whether it is a designer handbag, or an elegance briefcase, high-quality leather products are gifts that can be used every day, but can last for years or even decades of regular wear. A good one will even get more beautiful with age, as the leather gains a unique patina.

Exquisite Pens

Nothing says class like pulling out an elegant, exquisite pen to sign a contract or other document. It shows that even the everyday task can be elevated with a little investment in beautiful things.

Gourmet Hampers

To prevent adding items to a full home, or to delight the chef or foodie who brought you up, consider a basket of bright fruits, fine wines, chocolates, cheeses, or other delights.

Art Collectibles

If you know your parent’s taste, and can find the right item, a piece of art can be a stunning gift. Consider quality prints, paintings, sculptures, or other items to bring joy and beauty to their home.

Alternatives

If you are still not sure what gift would suit your parent, maybe you’re wanting something out of the ordinary. Here are a few alternatives that might pique your interest.

Jewelry

Instead of simply giving jewelry, why not give the gift of creation with a jewelry-making class? You could even arrange for a local jeweler to educate your parent on the world of precious metals and gems, giving them a greater appreciation and knowledge of this fascinating industry.

Home & Living

If you are nervous about giving art to your parent, you could arrange for a commission from a local artist. Your parent could then choose the topic or focus of the work, giving any desired specifications such as size, color, and content.

Travel & Leisure

If your parents love travel but are less able to do it than they once were, consider high-end travel books, or actual travel, but to more local destinations. A museum tour, glamping trip, or weekend in a local luxury hotel might give them that travel buzz, but still be within their abilities.

Personal Care & Well-being

Home massage, a skincare kit, or exercise classes with someone who specializes in an older demographic might be great choices too. Salon vouchers or even an in-home hair-care visit for your mom and a friend could make her day and let her show off your gift a little too.

Technology & Gadgets

Even if your parent isn’t tech-savvy, many intuitive technologies can make your parent’s life much easier. From medication reminders to exercise and care regiments, to streaming favorite programs and connecting via video with loved ones, intuitive technology can make a huge difference to quality of life – and so it makes a great gift.

Post Purchase Considerations

At Von Baer, we want to ensure that your experience of buying a gift, and the recipient’s experience of receiving and using it, are as good as they can be. To that end, we’ve included some guidelines here to help you out during the process, and even afterward. As always, feel free to contact our customer service department with any questions or concerns – or even for purchasing guidance.

Fit & Preference

Giving a luxury gift that doesn’t suit the recipient removes any benefit a luxury gift might offer. For example, don’t give your father exquisite cufflinks in the hope that he’ll finally go out and buy formal shirts to wear them on – if it hasn’t happened yet, it likely never will. Instead, make sure you’re familiar with their current styles and interests, and give them something luxurious that suits them.

Cultural and Personal Sensitivities

Luxury includes care for every aspect of a gift – this can even mean consideration for the cultural and personal preferences of the recipient. You can find luxury items that are vegan, sustainable, fair-trade, from particular regions – or not from controversial ones – so you can be sure to give a gift without any negative aspects attached to it. In fact, a little care in choosing this way can increase the recipient’s pleasure.

Budget Concerns

Luxury items are more valuable (and therefore costlier) than low-quality ones, but that doesn’t mean they are out of reach. From less than a hundred dollars to many thousands, luxury is about quality and care, not the overall price tag.

Authenticity Concerns

Because luxury goods are valuable, people will make fakes and try to pass them off as the real thing. At Von Baer, we only buy from the brands themselves, or from reputable, official distributors. We also provide certificates of authenticity with your purchases. Always buy from trusted sources to ensure you get the authentic, high-quality luxury objects you want.

Timing

Luxury gifts – especially if they are customized or personalized in some way – may take longer to ship in some cases. Shop early, and make sure to consult the shipping times listed in the product descriptions or on the checkout page to ensure your gift will arrive on time. Expedited shipping is often available.

Packaging and Presentation

A luxury gift should be protected during transport. More than that, the unboxing experience should match the quality, elegance, and luxury of the item contained inside. For example, Von Baer offers premium packaging and optional luxury gift-wrapping.

Maintenance and Care

Luxury items may need special care. Product descriptions include this information, and items ship with guidance for care and cleaning included. We even offer some recommended products, such as leather conditioner, that you could include with your gift.

Warranty and Returns

We stand by our products and service. If there is a defect or some other dissatisfaction with your item, you can return it within a certain period after purchase. See Von Baer’s return and warranty policies for details. It is important to us that you, and the gift recipient are fully happy with your gift choice.
