Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Designer? Isn’t that, like, crazy expensive?” Well, yeah, sometimes. But hear me out. We’re not necessarily talking about buying your grandma a Balenciaga handbag (though, wouldn’t that be WILD?). It’s about finding something… special. Something that feels luxurious, you know? Like, that Neiman Marcus mention of Oscar de la Renta earrings? Those could be a total winner.
See, the thing about designer stuff is, it’s not *just* the brand name. It’s the quality, the craftsmanship, the *feeling* you get when you use it. Think about it: that perfect cashmere scarf, a really well-made leather wallet, even a boujee perfume that makes you feel like a million bucks.
And honestly, sometimes, spoiling someone just *feels* good. My personal opinion, and I could be wrong, is that a REALLY good gift is a way of showing someone you see them, you appreciate them, and yes, maybe you want to impress them a little.
Plus, let’s be honest, a lot of stuff from David Jones, especially from those Aussie and international designers? It’s freakin’ beautiful. Like, seriously, drool-worthy. Maybe get something for yourself while you’re at it? Just saying… Treat yo’ self!
But, BUT, (and this is a big but!), don’t go broke trying to impress someone. I saw something about “47 Gifts Under $50” somewhere in those excerpts, and honestly, that’s where the real magic happens sometimes. You can totally find something amazing for a reasonable price. A cool, well-designed notebook, a fancy candle, even just a really, really nice pen. It’s the thought that counts, right? (Even if the thought is “I hope they like this so I don’t look cheap.”)
