In fact, none of the items on our list are over $300, proving that you can get a luxurious experience for less than you think. Luxury comes in all forms too, which is why we also included items that help you decompress, relax and reclaim some “me time” for yourself.

From clothing and skincare, to sunglasses, bags and flowers, here are 21 affordable luxury gifts to buy online right now.

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Tee

$44.90 AT QUINCE

Few things are as comfortable as a great fitting T-shirt, but to have a cashmere T-shirt? Now that’s what we call a luxe upgrade. Quince has gone viral for its cashmere offerings, which offer a premium look and feel for a surprisingly affordable price point. We love the versatility of this cashmere tee, which comes in ten colors and sizes XS to XL. Pair it with, well, basically anything and you’re guaranteed to look prim, proper and put together.

Quince Italian Leather Top Handle Crossbody Satchel

$119.90 AT QUINCE

Quince also makes this leather satchel, which can be carried as a top handle tote or as a chic crossbody. For under $120, you get a bag made from 100 percent top-grain Italian leather. At approximately 8 x 6.75 inches in size, the satchel fits the “mini bag” trend seen on celebrities, while still being practical enough to store your phone, makeup and small accessories.

Banbé The Caroline Cat-Eye Acetate Sunglasses

$75 AT MODA OPERANDI

Australian brand Banbé makes these cat-eye sunnies which deliver designer looks for just $75. It’s no wonder the luxury site Moda Operandi has these frames listed alongside brands like Loewe, Saint Laurent and Miu Miu. The tortoiseshell sunglasses are made from acetate with gradient lenses and an exaggerated silhouette that instantly draws attention to your eyes.

Bembien Simone Silk Scarf

$110 AT MODA OPERANDI

A versatile silk scarf doubles as a whimsical bag accessory (say, tied around the straps) and it can fill-in as a statement piece when you want to skip a necklace or brooch. We like this one from Bembien, which features a neutral cream and black print inspired by Italian silk carré scarves from the ’60s. Bembien scarves are all still made out of its Italian workshop in Como.

Parachute Hooded Light Terry Robe

$129 AT PARACHUTE

Whether you’re stepping out of the shower, heading to the spa or just relaxing on the couch, this hooded robe keeps things soft and cozy (so cozy in fact, that you may not want to take it off). Made from a luxurious organic cotton, the robe features a smooth terry cloth feel that’s gentle and comfortable against your skin. Two front pockets and a waist tie complete the loungewear look. Choose from sizes XS to 3XL. This robe is machine washable and in our experience, it gets softer with every wash.

Tumi Dallas Cosmetics Bag

$175 AT TUMI

Sure you could always find a cheap toiletry kit on Amazon, but half of them end up falling apart even before you get to your destination or worse, they look so flimsy you’re embarrassed to take it out of your bag. That’s why this Dallas Cosmetics Bag from Tumi offers a nice upgrade. It’s made from a durable nylon material with a leather strap and gold-tone detailing. An interior lining is water-resistant and wipes clean easily, so you don’t have to worry about an accidental products spill.

The best part: the pouch comes with a monogrammable patch on the front so you can customize it with your name or initials. See more details here.

HotWay 20-Inch Aluminum Frame Carry-On Luggage

$109.99 at Amazon

Even if you’re just heading out on a road trip, traveling with a good suitcase always makes your journey just a little bit more sophisticated. We love the high-end looks of this Amazon suitcase, which features an industrial aluminum-like frame, four spinner wheels and adjustable, three-stage handle. Little details abound, like a built-in cup holder and a pull-out hook that lets you hang a small bag or travel pillow to the suitcase for easy reach.

Ugg Classic Slipper

$49.99 $100 50% off

Buy AT NORDSTROM RACK

Few things feel as comfortable as slipping into a pair of Ugg slippers, and right now, Nordstrom Rack has this classic model on sale for 50 percent off. Made from a genuine suede material with Ugg’s signature wool blend lining, your feet will thank you for taking advantage of this deal. Though it’s great for at-home wear, the slipper also features a rugged and slightly thicker sole in case you want to take it outdoors.

Ray-Ban Kai Bio-Based Sunglasses

$186 AT RAY-BAN

While Ray-Ban is best known for its line of classic Wayfarers and Aviators (now available in oversized “Mega” styles), the brand also has some seriously trendy frames worth picking up right now. We like the Ray-Ban Kai Bio-Based sunglasses, with an aesthetic silhouette, metal frame and azure oval lenses. The built-in nose pads can be adjustable to help perfect your fit. The look is vintage and modern at the same time and at under $200, they’re an easy way to amp up your accessories game this season.

Missoni M1 Bracelet Watch

$289.97 $830 65% off

Buy AT NORDSTROM RACK

Nordstrom Rack is a great place to score some affordable luxuries, and right now we’re obsessed with this Missoni watch, available for a whopping 65 percent discount (as of this writing). The gold-tone stainless steel watch features the fashion house’s signature zig-zag detailing on the watch face and strap, along with an elegant sapphire crystal face. Designed in Italy and crafted in Switzerland, the watch comes with a Missoni-branded gift box adorned with the brand’s colorful, textile-inspired prints.

Cuyana Small Easy Tote

$248 AT CUYANA

A Cuyana tote is almost de rigueur these days among Hollywood celebs and the quiet luxury set, and this one is their bestseller. Crafted from a buttery soft Italian leather, the minimalist tote has enough space for a small laptop, makeup bag, wallet and charger and is sized perfectly to fit over your shoulders without looking like your bag is weighing you down. You can also choose to carry it as a tote, with two top-handle straps that tuck away when not in use. Choose from eight colors online.

L’OR Barista System Coffee and Espresso Machine Combo

$169.00 $239.00 29% off

Buy at Amazon

The L’Or Barista Coffee Machine is a great gift idea for the discerning coffee aficionados in your life. The sleek curves and matte finish of the capsule-based espresso machine help the L’Or Barista stand out from generic discount store brands that often look cheap, and worse, make watered-down coffee. The L’Or Barista System uses high-pressure brewing to extract more robust flavors from each capsule, and every pour offers rich aromas and a consistent finish with perfect, delicate crema. This set comes with a milk frother for lattes, cappuccinos and more. An ideal unit for your kitchen counter or office, the L’Or Coffee Maker offers a luxe pick-me-up any time of day.

MLriyl Red Light Therapy for Face

$99.99 at Amazon

Thousands of people are treating themselves to at-home red light therapy, as an easy way to rejuvenate skin texture, tone and elasticity. This one, a bestseller on Amazon, offers seven lighting modes to target everything from blemishes and breakouts, to fine lines and wrinkles, and even excess oil and sebum. The silicone material is super gentle against the skin, while an adjustable strap helps to keep the mask in place comfortably.

50-Piece Preserved Roses in Velvet Box

$129.99 at Amazon

Fresh flowers are a welcomed gift at any time, but they don’t last beyond a few days. That’s why we love these preserved roses, which maintain their shape and coloring without needing any watering or care. This set gets you 50 roses carefully arranged in a round velvet box. An ultimate display piece for a coffee table, dining table, or entryway, you can choose from more than a dozen color combinations online.

Lauren Rubinski Faux Suede Jewelry Tray

$200 AT NET-A-PORTER

A jewelry tray like this one, from French designer Lauren Rubinski, offers a dedicated place to put your watch, rings, bracelets and other accessories. We love the art deco-inspired design of this tray, available in a (faux) blue suede. The material doubles as a protective backing for your jewelry, so they won’t scratch or scuff. This tray measures approximately 9 x 11 inches in size, making it ideal for a bedside table or dresser.

Sulwhasoo Cult Classics Set

$180 at Amazon

The cult favorite Korean beauty brand Sulwasoo offers a range of products that nourish, hydrate and enrich your skin from the inside out, and it’s now available to buy online in the U.S. through Amazon. This kit contains the two best Sulwasoo products in our opinion, including its activated serum, and concentrated ginseng renewing cream, which harnesses the power of the natural root to improve skin firmness, elasticity and smoothness. This Amazon deal gets you a $234+ value for $180.

Loewe Home Scents Oregano

$135 AT NET-A-PORTER

Room sprays get a bad rap, especially if you think of the drugstore sprays our parents used to buy. But a good room spray can instantly elevate your space, especially if it’s one like this Oregano scent from Loewe. Don’t let the name fool you — this home fragrance is fresh and light, with just a hint of spice and savoriness. You’ll want to keep this room spray out of the cupboards too, thanks to its presentable glass bottle with a glazed ceramic stopper and embossed leather cap.

Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle

$60 AT FLAMINGO ESTATE

If you prefer a candle, we’ve been gifting everyone this Roma Heirloom Tomato Candle from LA-based, celeb-loved brand, Flamingo Estate. At once familiar and unexpected, the candle is fresh and herbaceous, with green and grassy notes that evoke summer nights in the garden or a sunset dinner on the Italian coast. Trust us when we say this will become your go-to gift as well.

Ritual Skin & Stress Relief Set

$75.60 $108 30% off

Buy AT RITUAL

How do you find relief these days? For us, it’s been adding these Ritual supplements to our daily routine, with the promise of better skin (thanks to Ritual’s HyaCera supplement) and better relaxation (with Ritual’s Ashwagandha and L-Theanine pill). Both capsules are vegan and certified-clean, with fully-traceable ingredients. Ritual says HyaCera helps to reduce wrinkles and smooth out fine lines, while the “chill pill” helps to “support normal cortisol levels and reduce stress.” In our experience, we’ve seen both supplements at work, with our skin feeling more bouncy and supple after just a month of use, and our anxiety levels reduced, say, before a big work meeting or flight. Find out more at Ritual.com.

Kenia Cotton Knit Throw Blanket

$88 AT ANTHROPOLOGIE

Curl up with this 100 percent cotton throw blanket, which features a vintage-inspired plant print and a soft and cozy knit. The blanket measures 50 x 70 inches in size and is great as a decorative piece for your bed or couch to add a touch of whimsy. Of course, it’s even better to use as a blanket, on chilly nights in the backyard or to tuck into for a movie night at home.

Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque Blanc de Blancs

$74.99 AT RESERVE BAR

When all else fails, get the champagne. Our go-to gifting bottle is this Blanc de Blancs from luxury champagne house Perrier Jouët. The famed expression has long been a favorite for celebrations and special dinners alike, sourced from a single Chardonnay grape varietal. It’s crisp and delicate on the palette with notes of florals, light fruit and grassiness. The finish is clean and dry, with just enough of a memorable mouthfeel to make you go in for another sip.
