If money isn't a concern, give a friend or loved one the gift of luxury. Choose unique high-end items featuring quality fabrics and materials. Splurge on well-made pieces and ornate designs. Add a personalized touch by engraving, monogramming or etching the gift. Choose items that reflect the gift recipient's favorite colors, patterns and hobbies.
Crystal-studded Picture Frame
Delight a friend or loved one with an elegant crystal-studded picture frame. Choose a silver or gold metal frame trimmed with clear or multi-colored Swarovski crystals. You can also choose a high-quality wood frame embedded with crystals. For a personal touch, engrave the frame with a special message, such as "I love you," or with the gift-recipient's name. Fill the frame with a sentimental photo of the two of you prior to presenting the gift.
Monogrammed Cashmere Blanket
Give a warm cashmere blanket. Choose a throw blanket in the gift recipient's favorite color, or in a shade to coordinate with her home decor. If you are unsure of what hue to choose, stick with a sophisticated neutral shade such as chocolate brown, creamy ecru or blush pink. Have one corner of the blanket monogrammed with the recipient's initials.
Wine Decanter Set
Present a family member with a personalized crystal wine decanter and matching glasses. For a luxurious touch, choose a set made of European lead-free crystal featuring hand-cut patterns. Have the decanter and glasses etched with the recipient's initials for a sophisticated look. The set will make an elegant addition to a home bar. Complete the gift with a bottle of wine or chardonnay.
Engraved Gold Locket
Surprise a loved one with an engraved gold heart-shaped locket. Choose an 18-karat gold locket and matching chain for a luxurious gift. Have the front of the locket engraved with the loved one's name or a thoughtful message. Fill each side of the locket with pictures featuring the two of you in meaningful moments.
Personlized Picnic Basket
Gift a couple with a romantic top-of-the-line picnic basket. Choose a hand-woven willow basket featuring a linen lining. Engrave the leather strap with the couple's first names or their last. Fill the basket with high-quality china or ceramic plates, crystal glasses and sterling silver cutlery. Include a soft blanket on which the couple can sit and eat.
