1. Designer holiday gift color: Red

We begin our rainbow collection of luxury holiday gift ideas with our personal favorite color: red. Red brings the drama! It’s an intense and confident color that demands to be noticed. One of the most intriguing aspects about the color red is its complexity – it represents the most powerful human experiences and themes, covering the entire spectrum of emotions.

Tom Ford captures red’s lusciousness in his eau de parfum, Lost Cherry: the scent is sweet and tart, with floral notes of Turkish Rose and Jasmine Sambac.

2. Luxury Holiday gift shop color: Orange

The color orange just might be one of the juiciest, yummiest and happiest hues under the sun.  Orange radiates good health, optimism and sunshine. It’s fresh and sweet, but it can also have an undertone of bitterness for balance.

Even better, orange is largely unencumbered by the weight of expectations. When people see it, they generally expect to be delighted and surprised.  With orange, you can never be sure what will happen next, but it’s usually something good. This year more than ever, we need more orange in the world, don’t you think?

Designed in collaboration with eyewear experts Linda Farrow, these sunnies from The Attico feature translucent orange frames and tonally tinted lenses.

3. Designer Holiday gift Color: Yellow

Yellow is one of our all-time favorite colors. It’s bright, effervescent, and impossible to miss.  If hope has a color, we think it’s yellow. It also stands for strength and purpose – think lions on the savanna. And of course, yellow is arguably the color of celebration: champagne and white wine; roses and honey; birthday cake! A yellow traffic light means there’s still time, and that we’re not too late.

This gorgeous deep yellow vase from Fundamental Berlin captures that spirit perfectly. It’s stunning on its own, or filled with blooms or greenery.

4. Luxury Holiday gift color: Green

The color green is significant for many cultures. In the Ming Dynasty, green symbolized the heavens. And jade stones reflect the Confucian values of wisdom, modesty and compassion. The green of the olive branch is the traditional color to represent peace. And the work of sustainability and care for Mother Earth also live under the color green. What better hue could there be for a holiday gift?

As “Grannycore” continues to sweep the nation, this green argyle sweater from Staud fits the trend perfectly. Designer Sarah Staudinger reports that it’s an homage to her grandmother, whose closet she raided as a young girl.

5. Designer Holiday gift Color: Blue

It has been reported that blue is the most popular color in the entire world. And for good reason. In a swarm of chaos, blue is calming, dependable, and easy on the eyes. It can take a day of stress and turn it into one of peace and tranquility. From the sky to the sea, blue is a color as deeply rooted in nature as it is in our dreams.

This beaded shoulder bag from Staud is a new rendition of the brand’s best-selling Tommy bag. The new design mimics a classic bandana.

6. Luxury Holiday gift color: Purple

To wrap up our rainbow collection of vibrant luxury holiday gifts, we end with the O.G. of luxury colors: purple.

Purple is the color of royalty, having once been a hue that only the upper class could afford. It isn’t all prim and proper, though. Purple language is commonly understood to be profane. It’s the color of things that are a little bit wicked. Wine, witches and Bacchus; of revelry, salaciousness and excess. It’s juicy and fruity and sexy and it smells wonderful.  One could say that it’s the perfect color for indulgence. And isn’t that the whole point of a luxury gift?

The Always pan is a cult favorite of home chefs everywhere. Why? It’s designed to replace 8 traditional pieces of cookware. We vote for the version in this lovely shade of lavender.
