Someone gifted me olive oil last year, and it was actually a wonderful gift. They didn't gift me olive oil, they gifted me slightly better tasting meals.

[@marinaloutsenko4044]

I suppose the truffles (paste or oil) would also have success 😉

The best gift I ever received was a handmade journal with mine and my husband's initials on it (he was my fiance at the time). Inside the journal he wrote out a ton of the text messages we sent each other when we were falling for each other. It was so heartwarming that he understood the sentiment. It made me cry. I've kept it as a keepsake and will forever.

I do the stash thing with luxury makeup, umbrellas, books, perfumes, candles, etc., whenever there is a sale I buy a lot, it has been such a good strategy because during the year there are holidays, dinner invites or birthdays that I totally forget. Also the olive oil or gourmet gifts has been really successful for me. Great video, Anna, very classy as usual. Love you!

My husband is wealthy af. When I spent my first Christmas with him I had NO CLUE WHAT TO GET HIM. I thought about functional items. My husband uses alot of leather folders for work. So I got him a custom leather folder with alot of pockets. He loves pockets. He always complained the leather folder never had enough pockets. He WORE THE HECK out that poor folder. 😭

Ladies, I am TELLING you!!! Its Biologique Recherche!!! Trust me, it is THE best skin care brand I have ever found!!! Its also what Anna uses!!! If you don't live near a location that sells it and cannot have a skin consult and recommended products, you can still call and describe your skin and get recommended products through the mail!!!!!!!!!! They are so low key, you never see ads or influencers getting sponsored cuz they dont need to!!!!! I mean, just look at Anna's skin, that is advertisement enough!!! Also, Tati LOVES the Lotion P50, Abby Bliss White uses them, Andrea Ali had a woman on her channel as a makeup model who uses them and she has THE most beautiful skin. Just go through KZbin videos where people talk about it and you will see what I mean about "Biologique Recherche skin". Sorry for the ramble ladies🤣🤣 I just love the products and have never been so amazed by a brand before!!

Understandable, agree, remember, these are suggestions for gifting a meaningful token to someone who is well-off (with whom you wish to make a good impression on). The price point and gifts here-in are spot on for social expectations; the acquaintance (or married couple) who invites you/your companion over to their house (perhaps, often), may have also at some time treated you to lunch/an event/day on their sailboat/flight in their plane(to enjoy the pleasure of your company, knowing you may not be able to afford the menu at their chosen restaurant/pastime). :)

You know the title says "luxury" $100 is very cheap for luxury

olive oil? wow. i like it a lot. the guy im dating gave me olive oil fresh from his own olive farm, november is the best season for harvest. i cant believe it is a luxury gift idea

[@AdriannaIX]

For my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my dad's side of the family: we usually send each other high quality food baskets of cheese, meats, desserts, pears, etc. It works well when you're gifting folks who already have a lot of luxury items and want to keep the holidays as clutter-free as possible. I'm going to look into buying some of that olive oil. Thanks for this wonderful video!!!

[@mfstarr1]

My uncle brings us each of us one of those during the holiday. They each contain different things depending on what we like.

[@tiffprendergast]

[@erik8600]

Wow. I am impressed with your video. A lot of the things you mentioned, I already do and didn't know it was sophisticated. Keeping a stash of high end candles, giving quality gloves, collector board games, and coffee table books. You can't go wrong with these gifts. And never, never go empty handed when invited to someone's home. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-dn9gz5lu4y]

I love to send my girl friends Chanel or Dior lipsticks, gloss, or fragrance. When I order, I include the personalized gift message. They are not too pricey (lipsticks and gloss start at $32 I believe). The packaging feels luxurious and it feels like a very special gift to give :)

[@samanthacapaul614]

When she said budget I thought budget, as in £20-£30. Anything over £100 ...not budget 😄

[@clarissamccarthy5330]

You are talking of yourself, hope in 2020 it will be in your budget. Dont spend less - earn more!!!

[@soulsreadings]

the easiest way to have more money is to spend less .. and obviously earn more.

[@beatrizmacedo8971]

With some imagination you can adapt these tips to your budget. In my local department store I can get cashmere blend socks for 20£, great looking bottles of olive oil for 12£, beautiful leather accessories like keyrings or belts for under 30£ and lovely candles for the home for 12£. These are my go-to's but look around your area for more ideas. Wine accessories are usually affordable too: if you can't afford a crystal decanter, go for the corkscrew or little aereator. My personal tip is to go to the nicest supermarket in your area for gifts, like a gourmet shop. You can usually get unique stuff like chocolates, wines, tea, olive oils, etc on a budget

[@florr756]

Take a post-it. Write on it: "What would it take for me to increase my income? How can I live a more affluent life?" Live with the question... Just to give you an idea: In the past 7 years, my income has multiplied by 6. And by the looks of it by next year it will be x33 compared to 7 years ago. Allowing me to earn over a million a year (without any passive income) Just by using my business sense and offering the market what it's looking for. The only one setting the boundaries is you. Truely.

Several years back I was brainstorming what to bring to a 50th birthday party, and decided upon a bonsai set in a porcelain pot. I find bonsai graceful and uplifting, and always unique. As an added bonus, they’re gender-neutral, quite affordable, and a beautiful addition to any decor. Moreover, in Asian cultures they’re said to bring good fortune - a lovely sentiment to convey on special occasions.Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions which often resonate with my own sensibilities. Kindest regards for your efforts at encouraging a gentler culture.🌳

[@yanayana314]

Speaking about art-loving people - coffee table books are a great choice for them too! Especially, photography & fashion centered. A lot of beautiful images to appreciate by a creative person. Artists also appreciate “bougie” versions of everyday things e.g. the Hermès card deck, for example. They’re like modern art pieces in and of themselves.

[@MillyMayy]

I very much agree with the scented candle and food ideas! Also, I just purchased my boyfriend a handmade buffalo leather wallet, with his initials engraved. It was under £50 - and supported an independent craftsperson. So I think that was a win! 😊

I think the term “older adult” sounds so much better than “elderly”.....just my opinion. But great video with some really helpful ideas for gifting...Thanks Anna!

[@WholeHeartily]

I like gifting blankets/throws to elderly people 😊 it’s like a hug!!! Not sheets or anything sexy, but maybe something lovely from Etsy, or something exotic from Anthropologie or World Market... if it’s very pretty and very soft, they can leave it in a basket by their favorite chair or in their room ❤️ it’s decorative and functional!

[@llt4726]

Or scarves!🤗

[@WholeHeartily]

Yasmeen Hashmi spare blankets in the car are SUCH a good idea! Once, I was on a road trip with my bff and I surprised her with a sunset sailing trip... only, it was after visiting a winery where we’d had waaayyy too much fun lol. So, we missed the boat. HOWEVER, all was not lost! I whipped out a blanket and we set up a picnic at the marina with the wine we’d just scored and fresh fish takeout dinners from the store on the dock. It was PERFECT! Literally everyone who passed by our setup said they were jealous, so we entertained ourselves eating, drinking, chatting with strangers, and watching the sunset 😊

[@panacheluxury4262]

Gifting olive oil, wines, vinegars, nuts, cheeses, crackers, bread, especially sweetbreads or others made by you including baked goods and other items along these lines are somethings I have given to people. These work just as well for acquaintances. The table book.idea as well as books period are good to give. What has helped me in my gift giving is observation. Being aware of the things people like; their interest, style and taste in clothing, home decor, fragrances, etc. If they talk about something they are interested in that gives me a clue into what they like and or want. Trips are wonderful, but tickets for some event is an excellent gift and one that keeps on giving, because the person will tell others and talk about it for the rest of their life. When they think of that event, they think of you. Season tickets to the Opera, concert series, ball games, the possibilities are endless.

I’m not sure how appreciative someone would be if they found out I was giving an impersonal gift to them. I think it would work for acquaintances, but friends and family might not agree with the butler. When the word gets around that you’re gifting everyone the same item, someone in your circle will feel slighted. It is the thought given that impresses.(imho). I agree that gadgets for men are the best. Brookstone is a great store to shop.

[@minivan1680]

I knew my Secret Santa very well. She was into booksand drawing and creating art projects. I love all those things, too. So I went to a stationary store and bought things that I would actually love to have, a diy bullet journal with stickers, patterned paper or cardstock, and beautiful illustrations on it. She was so excited when she opened her gift! She was practically jumping off the walls because she wanted to open everything right away. She told me later on that she was really grateful that I was able to find something that she really loved, and that she started to fix her bujo that same night.

Great ideas, thank you! If you don’t mind, another gift for someone you know well, that is inexpensive but is highly impressive is a beautifully framed photo you have taken. It can be a landmark hometown photo for your lifelong friend, a photo of something or unique place you both vacationed. I am NOT talking about PHOTOS OF PEOPLE. Make it interesting, an old church in shadow, a photo of a gazebo glazed in the first snow inside the park u both grew up by, an old building in the woods you came across on a hike... Truly unlimited. When the friend opens the gift not only does it take them down memory lane, it’s as personal as u can get and very thoughtful.

I love that you embrace your fair complexion and your colors of cosmetics are so flattering. All too often, I think Bronzers are over used and quite unnecessary, creating a very aged look. You're a great example that tanned or darker isn't always better looking and when you master your natural tone with color appropriate shades, it's "Cherub" looking

One year I bought 8 sets of very high end knives (bc they were running a special where the price per set went down the more sets u bought) , and gave them to family and friends. Everyone loved them, and they were a gift that keeps giving , as they were very high quality , and something people could use for years to come. And so glad U mentioned it!

I’m a great gift giver! My suggestions: * A vintage copy of their favorite book - especially if it is their favorite book from childhood. Generally you can find them in good condition for not too much money with a little hunting online or with the help of a vintage bookseller. It doesn’t have to be a first edition (though it’s nice if you find one). That, accompanied by a lovely card, shows them that you listen to details. * Have a local calligrapher write out their favorite quote (or frequently used phrase) and frame it. Etsy has great handmade cards you can select for the personalization. I am friends with a lawyer who is very into bodybuilding. I bought a cute cartoon image of a lady weightlifter and a calligrapher wrote my friend’s name above it and I put it in an inexpensive frame. My friend told me it was the FIRST thing she hung in her office when she got a new job. * Donate money in their name to an organization that means something to them - such as their alma mater or a charity that helps their favorite unusual animal or feeds the hungry in the town where they grew up or an organization trying to cure a specific illness that a beloved family member had - or that they have. You can print out a gift notification on the charity’s website after donating or the organization can send a notification. The great thing is that they don’t disclose your gift amount! So you might get the recipient a small token gift (like a mini Diptyque candle) and a beautiful card and slip the “donation in your honor” printout into the card. I did this as a thank you for a very wealthy couple who hosted an event at their home for one of my family members. They were VERY touched and made a point to tell my relative how kind and thoughtful my gift was. They had no idea that I could only afford to give $20 to the organization at the time.

Great advice Anna I love the list thank you! I already save this video for future recommendation for myself. Since my family and closest friends don't appreciate my time, effort, and kind wallet I have stopped buying expensive things and just gift out gift cards depending on what they are into. ie. movies, music, makeup, perfumes, etc. On special occasions, I do go through my small inventory which I already have, such as women's wallet, men's wallet, men's and women's watch, boys gift set or young girl's gift set. And that way I just know, gift, wrap, add the bow, write in the person's name, and done. And I can pamper myself before getting dressed. Merry Christmas everyone! And do enjoy the New Years! 😊💖💖🎄 🎁🎁

In my country, Iran, saffron can be a perfect gift or a souvenir, specially when you are visiting someone's house for the first time. There are so many handicraft pieces that can be really perfect gifts like pictorial carpets or khatam boxes.

[@betty179]

Anna, thank you so much! This has helped me tremendously. My mom has always been very sophisticated in this manner of gift giving and I really do want to follow up in her footsteps 💕

[@Anna-kr5zi]

Same!

[@beautyofdawn9565]

One of the best Christmas gifts I've gotten was garlic infused olive oil from a rustic farm in Italy

[@honeykai8274]

I love your straight hair! It makes you look so young!

[@heleneofcortina6400]

If you travel a lot and are able to get them, these things are really affordable if you buy them when you're in Italy. They're appreciated due to their rarity or surprise value ... Florentine leather desk sets, Jujube dessert liquor from Arqua Petrarcha, perfumes from Florians Cafe, Fior d'Arancio (orange champagne) from the Euganian Hills, cufflinks from Florence, Montegrappa pens from Bassano del Grappa, and anything you can afford at Venetia Studium by Fortuny fabrics in the Veneto. I usually have them ship the purchases to me then I use them as gifts throughout the year. Thanks for your ideas Anna and your delightful channel.

I am hoping to build a stronger connection with a man a few years older than me, not a millionaire but has a good government job so he travels often. I recently bought him a 10 piece grooming/toiletry set that comes in a leather case and to make it more personal, I had his initials monogrammed on the front. I hope he likes it!

[@ohdear2275]

That sounds like a lovely gift.

[@leximartinez6569]

@@ohdear2275 Thank you!

[@LauraMidwest]

that sounds lovely and if he doesnt like it, keep it moving and find someone who will appreciate you

[@karaa7595]

You're telling him he is hairy and needs to groom? Nice.

[@thesocialintrovertchronicles]

I think he will appreciate, especially if he likes to take care of his hygiene

[@artwithmamafairybreadd]

Some things that are nice to have a stock pile of are things like candles, Very lovely Christmas ornaments, set of glasses, vases, Lovely platters…All good quality and stylish of course….you don’t have to worry about what size people are (which is a problem when buying clothes)… and they are useful and attractive…..xo ciao

My ex boyfriend was a billionaire and his favorite thing I gave him was when I made him my homemade cheesecake! He loved my cheesecake! Once I baked him a cheesecake, froze it, and carried it on the plane with me to Switzerland. He loved, loved the effort I put in and of course the cheesecake! 😉

[@lannang1070]

Cynthia Thornton bih!!! Why is he your ex???!? BILLIONAIRE??? Ugh I’m jealous.

[@elisa5812]

How is he your ex billionaire wherr you find this men I need one 😭😂

[@starburst9053]

You shouldnt put ex and billionaire in the same sentence lol

[@unknown-jd3dz]

To ll of you commenting about why he’s her ex when he’s a billionaire: grow up. Not everything is about money, and have you ever thought about the possibility he might have ended things first?

[@nikkil764]

I totally believe in the concept of the signature gift. People come to expect it and anxiously anticipate your gifts. For example, I always give the Royal Dalton Bunnykins china for new babies. Everyone loves the Beatrix Potter design. For hostess gifts, I always give monogrammed tea towels or hand towels in their colors. I have notes on what colors they have in their home or powder room. Everyone really appreciates that you took the time to get their monogram added.

[@sheachai]

Ana, you are glowing besutifully 💖 I like the Olive oil idea 😊 Othet ideas: high quality chocolate, Salt and spices 🥰

[@Jenekks]

My son gifted my husband and I the wine preserver. It was a very thoughtful and great gift as we just drink a glass now and then and this preserves the wine for weeks. Our version came with a C02 cartridge and enough stoppers for 2 bottles.

[@madeleine84193]

Another gift for people who don't drink is chocolate, not like hersheys chocolate but origin chocolate that really focused o the quality of the bean. But this is only really good if they like dark chocolate

[@WholeHeartily]

Chocolate is always a fun gift! I think it’s a little childish and nostalgic, but can be a very sophisticated gift for a foodie or maybe a household... it’s the equivalent of wine for non-drinkers. I’ve found very rare and beautiful assortments as low as $90!!

[@victoriaalgra3675]

Hello, that was a nice little holiday reminder. I like the gift closet idea on hand and I love buying and wrapping and put a post it note on the bottom if need be... I’ve given scarves and gloves and small leather good from bulk buying a bit on Italy trips.. never knew how elegant I really was! Ha ha! Thank you again for keeping it real , you are so adorable ❣️🥰❤️🎄🏡💄🧚‍♀️👑🎩

[@beverleyroberts1025]

Anna, I thought you had just posted this, I can't believe I didn't watch this last year! 🎄 I don't usually watch Christmas gift ideas videos. But yours is different, interesting, and has sparked so many different ideas. You are so right, keep it simple but get the best quality that you can. A thoughtful, useful gift doesn't have to break the bank either. A really good video, thank you for your wisdom! 🙏 x 😊

[@WholeHeartily]

Plants and pretty planters make awesome presents! A little fern or vine in a funky pot for a coworker or neighbor is really chic. Personally, I would opt for a wood or ceramic version from H&M! The gift won’t cost much, but it will last forever and spruce up their space 👌 I wouldn’t carry it to a party though. This is best for delivering to their house or desk

[@personincognito3989]

I haven't even watched your video yet but I have to say the thumbnail of you in that sweater with that hat is really cute. I love your channel and the messages that you're sending out to the ladies of this world and hopefully it'll rub off on a whole bunch of us.

[@lifewithklc]

Lmaoooooo, I’m 58 and not sure how I feel about being considered “elderly”. Eh, it’s definitely not what I consider myself to be so🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[@illuminata8097]

CocktailsMakeupandLife Yes, I wasn't too thrilled when I heard her say that too !! Being 50 is considered 30 now a days.

[@RosieRose369]

I'm 60, married & still have to tell men in their early 40s I'm off limits! " Eldery" is an attitude!

[@genac4561]

A beautiful ornament such as Lenox collection (usually $40-60) is a wonderful gift that they will use year after year on their tree. Of course, there are other luxurious brands such as Waterford Crystal ornaments but those are more expensive

[@KaraKimmie]

This colour looks wonderful on you, Anna! I'm so glad to hear you're learning all about colour theory. Loved this video.

[@adrianaandrade8809]

I love cooking! So my favorite gift to receive is definatly cooking books or kitchen gadgets. I love gifting my friends and family homemade goods, like Chevre or bitter orange marmelade, all of my friends appreciate those.

[@maggiemoon6502]

I think it is a hair color or the shirt, you look the best you have ever looked! Omg!!! Perfect:)

[@anna-mariagio3391]

I really love the sweater she is wearing- both the quality and the colour. Not to mention the neckline. I wonder where its from

[@farzanatuli3905]

Last time I frame his childhood photo and gave it to him.he love that very much.that photo was very close to his late mother.he keep that photo his bedside table.🖼️

[@ageiron]

Anna, you look flawless!! Your skin looks soooo good! Also, I’m loving the new, more relaxed vibe.

[@sersastark]

My mother has been using Black Friday week to buy all the higher priced gifts for less (my normally $200 superdry Everest winter parka for half off, etc.). She nearly bought me an HP laptop, lol

[@anniedesaulniers5838]

I just LOVE your videos. So much information that I value. Very generous of you School Of Affluence ! Merci beaucoup ! :)

[@BeatzByMK]

Yaaaay, you have your hair straight and it looks so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
