15 expensive luxury holiday 2021 gifts for the one on your list who has most everything

1. an adorable alpaca to serve as a living lawn mower

The Telegraph reports that the ultra high net worth gift of the season is an alpaca. Apparently, when the elite fled the urban centers for the countryside during the COVID-19 pandemic, they fell in love with the idea of being gentleman (and gentlewoman) farmers. Witness the rise of chicken keeping as evidence.

Now, though, the haute animal of choice is an adorable alpaca. And what’s not to love? They’re cuddly, beautiful, quiet, even-tempered – and they’ll mow your lawn for free! They’re chic decoration for the rolling fields surrounding an estate. And the kids all love them. Win-win!

BUY NOW: $250.00  – $8,000.00, depending on age, breed and heritage.

2. a home filled with art from a saatchi art subscription

Art adds so much character and texture to a home but it’s hard to know where to start. Saatchi Art, the world’s leading online art gallery, is here to help you build an enviable original art collection in a year by working with an expert curator. Topping our list of the best most expensive luxury gifts this holiday 2021 for the woman or man who already has most everything is The Ultimate Art Subscription. It includes one artwork per month with an approximate value of $1,200.

10. the investment-worthy logo bag from chanel

This past November, the price of a Chanel bag increased again. Word on the street is that next year, the label’s luxury goods will be going up another 18% at retail. That’s bad news for those looking to buy now. But good news if you’re looking for an investment. If you could ever part with these quilted beauties, you’re pretty much guaranteed that it will keep (or even grow) its value. We love this graphic and vaguely sporty version of the the classic.

BUY NOW: $8,800.00.

11. first-class comfort in the friendly skies from gucci

No matter how you travel, do it in style. Travel accessories need not be dull and utilitarian, and one of the most expensive and lavish luxury gifts on our list for 2021 illustrates that point beautifully. This inflatable travel pillow gets Gucci’s maximalist touch in vivid hues and sumptuous silk.

13. an old-fashioned game that looks new again from teckell

A game of pool can bring the whole family together but it’s time for the heavy, clunky table to get a state-of-the-art makeover. Each Teckell pool table is crafted in Italy with tempered glass and stainless steel for a sleek profile hat would make any game room look exciting and elegant.

14. the coat fit for royalty from loro piana

The Incas considered vicuña wool to be a coat of pure gold. And they reserved the privilege of wearing it for Incan royalty. It can take up to three years for the vicuña, a llama-like animal found in the Andes mountains of Peru, to grow its fur. Aside from the golden neutral color, the wool is prized for being exceptionally warm and soft. Making this Loro Piana coat the absolute height of sophistication and luxury – and a perfect addition to our list of the best and most expensive luxury gifts of holiday 2021.

15. the exercise bike that looks like a museum sculpture from teckell

No exercise room? No problem. We’d be proud to set this Ciclotte Teckell stationary bicycle anywhere in our house. But its sculptural crystal elegance doesn’t mean it’s not functional. With ergonomic design featuring a transmission with a turn multiplier system, the bike replicates the sensation of pedaling on the road and ensures high training workouts.
