Luxury Christmas gifts to splurge on
Shopping for the person who seems to have everything -- and who also appreciates the finer things in life -- can be tricky, no matter your budget. While gift cards serve as a safe option, finding a more personal gift for the luxury lover takes a little more creativity and research.
Even if you're not shopping for a millionaire, a small luxury gift can make them feel a little bit more like one.
Stumped over what to get that person in your life who appreciates the finer things? From a Sonos soundbar and a barista-in-a-box Philips espresso machine to the most luxurious under $100 gifts imaginable from designer brands like Christian Dior and Versace, CBS Essentials curated a list of luxe gifts at every price point.
