Small Luxury Gifts Near $100 To Treat Someone Special in 2024

Gifts don't have to be large in size to make a big impression.

The best luxury gifts are made from high quality materials, and personalized for the recipient, to make them feel extra special.

We've collected our favorite small luxury gifts priced around $100.

Best Small Luxury Gifts

Luxury Personalized Notebook

Personalized notebooks can feel really special if you get the right design and message for the person you're gifting them to.

Opt for a color combination that you'll know they'll love, and choose a high-end material like leather to ensure it has that luxury feel.

Coffee Subscription

Everyone loves a good cup of coffee, so why not purchase a coffee subscription for them so they can enjoy a new one each month?

Purchasing consumable gifts like coffee can be a great option when the person tends to already have what they need.

Cashmere Socks

Following the same trend of high quality materials, we have cashmere, which is renowned for being luxurious to the touch.

Choosing cashmere socks ensures the price doesn't end up going above $100, but it will still be received with a big smile, and be something they'll actively look forward to wearing.

Champagne

Everyone knows Champagne is associated with a special occasion, and so it makes sense to give it as a luxury gift.

Opt for a more premium brand like Moet to get closer towards the $100 mark, or combine it with another gift like chocolates.

Silk Bedsheets

A high-end luxury item that may be under $100 are bedsheets. Opt for a premium material like silk to ensure they go down well with the person receiving it.

Benefits

Personal Indulgence

Luxury, by its very nature, imbues us with a sense of satisfaction. It is a treat, just for us, and can be a powerful reminder of successes and milestones in our lives.

Versatility in Usage

Because it is small, this kind of gift can be portable, used in a variety of situations and locations, and all without losing that luxurious nature.

Impress with Elegance

Cost impresses very few people, but sophistication and elegance make an impact wherever they are seen. Carrying a small luxury item can leave a lasting impression on anyone who sees it.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Because of the quality, even a small gift is at home in a wide variety of settings, from anniversaries, to birthdays, milestones in education or work, or even… just because.

High-Quality Craftsmanship

Luxury is about quality materials and craftsmanship. The very best of each means items will last a long time, and look great for the duration.

Compatibility with Premium Brands

Pairing these gifts with other premium brands is easy. The similarities in quality and style go together naturally, complementing and elevating each other.

Elevates Daily Tasks

Likewise, daily tasks are elevated by the use of a luxury item. Whether it is a stylish pen, shaving kit, or compact, a high-end item turns drudgery into an inspiring time of self-care.

Collector's Delight

For people with a love of collecting, luxury items provide the very best in display and enjoyment. Whether it is many items of the same kind, or brand name collecting across a range of item types, collecting luxury is rewarding.

Resale Value

It is common for small luxury items, especially those by well-known or sought-after brands, to increase in value year by year.

Eco-Friendly Options

Many luxury brands see the need for sustainability and ethical practices in the world today. Knowing that your luxury gift was produced with these high standards can make the gift worth even more to the one who receives it.

How to Choose

Purpose of the Gift

Choose gifts that suit the occasion. Romantic gifts for romantic celebrations, business gifts for promotions and raises, or potential family heirlooms for marriages or milestone anniversaries.

Recipient's Preferences

Consider the tastes and preferences of the recipient. Are they minimalist in style? Classic? Bohemian? Trendy? Once you’re determined their overall style, you can limit your choices to items that suit them.

Experience Over Tangibility

Sometimes people prefer experiences over items. Luxury could come in the form of a spa day, a masterclass, or a high-end digital magazine subscription.

Eco-luxury is Trending

High-end buyers are increasingly demanding ethical and sustainable practices behind the products they buy. Whether the one you are buying for feels that way or not, you can’t go wrong by choosing an ethically produced item.

Consider Cultural Significance

Gifts that reflect, highlight, or celebrate the cultural background of the recipient can be very powerful. If you are not of the same background though, seek some advice to make sure the gift is appropriate and will be received as the thoughtful, caring gift it was intended to be.

Historical Relevance

If you can find a gift that is tied to the history of the recipient’s region, country, or family background, that can also increase the impact. As with cultural gifts, ensure the appropriateness with a group member or expert before giving it.

Limited Editions Speak Volumes

The less common the item, the better, and limited editions ensure a limited number of people have access to the item.

Practicality and Usage

Items that are beautiful and luxurious, but can also be used on a regular basis, have greater value. These elicit memories of the occasion in which they were given, and also of the one who gave the gift.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Natural materials evoke a luxury feel, so look for leather, wood, silk, or precious metals to give that luxe feel.

Craftsmanship Over Brand

A brand name often means reliable quality, but there are non-brand name items out there that are also premium quality… and often at a lower price.

Packaging and Presentation

A luxury gift loses impact if it arrives broken, or in shabby or plain wrapping. Instead, ensure quality packaging and premium gift wrapping when you send the gift, and turn a mere object into an unboxing experience with lasting impact.

Customization Options

Increase the special attributes of an object by adding the recipient’s initials, name, or a sentiment that illustrates the importance the recipient has to you.

Local vs. Global Brands

Global brands have clout and international value, but local brands can mean more to local people. Decide which would be most desirable for the recipient, and purchase accordingly.

Durability and Maintenance

Luxury items often need a little specialist care and maintenance to keep them so beautiful. This can mean particular products, like metal polish or leather conditioner.

Types

Clutches

Clutches are almost like a piece of jewelry. They are small and, though they do carry a few personal items, the point of them is fashion, rather than function.

Crossbody Bags

Designed to be worn across the body for hands-free carrying, these bags are about function over fashion. Though they can still look great and be of high-end design, the focus is on function – they are great for carrying quite a few items of varying sizes and weights.

Envelope Bags

Taking their name from their resemblance to actual envelopes, these bags are often found at formal occasions, as they are sleek in appearance and hold a limited amount. They were originally designed to hold envelopes, and so rounder or more bulky items do not usually fit well within them.

Wristlets

A more casual version of the clutch, this little bag has the added convenience of a strap or band around the wrist – hence the name.

It often includes pockets for cards, cash, and a phone, but not much else. It is easier to keep track of than the clutch, but smaller than other types of bags, so the wearer remains mostly unencumbered.

Alternatives

If what you’ve seen so far isn’t quite hitting the mark, you may be looking for something a bit more unusual. Consider the alternatives below and see if something jumps out at you as “Yes! That’s the one.”

Handcrafted Items

As a great alternative to standard jewelry items, consider something handcrafted. The recipient’s initials, name, or something themed around a hobby or interest would be potential inspirations, or perhaps something from the recipient’s culture or history.

Timepieces

Try something other than the standard watch, by considering pocket watches, minimalist watches, or even sundials for the gardener back deck enthusiast.

Scented Candles

For something that could be kept, or consumed, depending on the recipient's desire, consider a scented or decorated candle. Incense burners with a variety pack of scents to try, or something that diffuses essential oils could also fit the bill.

Fine Liquor

If you are shopping for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, consider a fancy mocktail set, perhaps including a recipe book, several mixes, glassware, mixing tools, and garnishes.

Tech Cases

If you’re shopping for a techy with all of the latest and greatest gadgets, perhaps the best thing to give is a high-end case or organization station.

A high-end leather headphone case, carved wooden cable box, or a sleek graphite version for the minimalist, can bring added pleasure to all of the gadgets the recipient already has… that’s good value.

Post Purchase Considerations

Authenticity Concerns

There are frauds out there, pretending to be supplying luxury products, when in reality they are passing off substandard items as if they are the real thing. To prevent being fooled, remember: high quality does cost a little more, as do popular brand names, so if the price seems too good to be true, it is likely a fake. Say goodbye to quality, warranties, and the true experience of owning or gifting a luxury item.

At Von Baer, we take great care to buy only from brand names or their reputable and official distributors. Our items come with certificates of authenticity too, so you can rest assured of the quality of your item, the genuine warranty, and our excellent customer service to back you up even after you buy your item.

Overwhelming Choices

If you are stuck between two great choices, don’t worry – that’s a good thing. Either one is likely a fine choice, but to break the tie, picture each one in the hands of the intended recipient. Which one seems to fit their style and needs the best? Which one complements, but elevates their current style?

If you still find yourself undecided, then the decision is simple: choose the one that is closer to your intended price point. If that means the cheaper item, go for it. If you prefer the more valuable one, go for that. It's a good problem; you can’t go wrong.

Gift Presentation

Opt for premium gift presentation. This turns the gift as an item into the gift as a whole experience. Anticipation, unboxing, unwrapping, and then the gift itself… that’s the wonderful process you can give.

Maintenance and Upkeep

Don’t worry about care and maintenance issues for the luxury item you choose; the product details will make you aware of any guidance on maintenance and cleaning of your item, and each purchase includes this information if it applies.

We even sell add-ons like leather conditioners, so you can include the maintenance support items with the gift.

Ethical and Sustainable Production

At Von Baer, we prioritize ethical, eco-friendly sourcing. Look for the eco-friendly and sustainability badges in the product descriptions.
