Luxury Gifts for Someone Who Has Everything

The person who has everything still loves a beautiful, useful thing they'd never buy themselves. Ideas that feel personal.

Some people are impossible to shop for. They have the gadgets, the candles and the cashmere. The best gift for them is something beautiful, quietly useful and a little unexpected.

What makes a good gift for them

• They'll use it every day, not store it.
• They wouldn't buy it themselves, even if they'd love it.
• It's personal: a scent, a story, a detail chosen for them.
• It arrives beautifully, ready to give.

Ideas

1. A gold wardrobe pomander. The Wardrobe Pomander is a pierced gold sphere on a black satin ribbon that scents a closet or drawer without touching clothes. Few people have one, almost everyone loves it, and it arrives in a rigid black gift box with spare spheres and gold tongs.
2. A signature home scent. A luxury reed diffuser, blended by hand in Toronto, for their entryway or office.
3. A scent discovery. The Discovery Set lets them find their own favourite of our hotel-inspired scents.

Matching the scent to the person

• The minimalist: Thé Blanc, white tea and musk.
• The romantic: Velours Rose, rose and vanilla.
• The traveller: Grand Foyer, bright and polished, like a hotel lobby.
• The one who loves warmth: Ambre Safran or Santal Vellum.
• The classic dresser: Cèdre Noir, cedar and leather.
