When I think about luxurious, stylish gifts, I think about Neiman Marcus. I grew up anticipating the arrival of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book in the mail every November so I could pore over the pages upon pages of glamorous items and dream about one day being lucky enough to give or receive such things myself. Now that I’m grown, Neiman Marcus is one of the first places everyone on the PurseBlog staff turns to when it’s time to treat one of our friends or loved ones. (Or, let’s be real: sometimes ourselves, too.)
We’re at the height of the holiday season, so we teamed up with our friends at Neiman Marcus to pick 21 gifts from the store’s huge selection that would make anyone on our shopping lists feel loved. They range in price and scale from thoughtful hostess gifts to extravagant indulgences for the closest people in your life, and we think they’ll provide a spark of inspiration when you set out to do your own shopping.
Check out our selections below and make sure to shop the full gift array at Neiman Marcus.
