For a Dear Friend
“This collaboration between Frank Gehry and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud is a work of art. Louis Vuitton’s Symphony is the perfect gift to a loved one who’s interested in design and scent.”

For Your Bestie
“This shimmering LV Charms Card Holder from the LV Ski line is crafted from a sparkly take on signature Monogram Empreinte leather, adorned with a crystal-embellished Monogram Flower charm and LV Circle. Festive yet practical.”
For Your Little Sister
“Adorably versatile, this new iteration of the classic Alma bag can be carried top handle or as a backpack, mirroring your kid sister’s cool, easy nonchalance.”
For the Friend Who Has Everything
“An essential addition to any bag charm collection, this version of Vivienne, Louis Vuitton’s beloved Monogram-inspired mascot, looks like it was plucked straight from a box of Christmas chocolates.”
For Yourself
“Go on, you deserve it. The sumptuous, sophisticated Lady LV necklace features a two fine-linked chains crafted in palladium-tone metal enhanced with sparkling crystals, a Monogram Flower, and an LV signature charm.”

Recommendations From Our Hommes Deputy Editor
For Your Stylish Man
“Pharrell Williams’ buttery Speedy P9 is nothing short of a holy grail for fashion enthusiasts. If the stylish man in your life has been on his best behavior this year, this iconic piece should top your list… assuming he hasn’t snagged one already.”
For Your Cool Guy Friend
“Jewelry is always a good idea. Grab one for your best friend, and one for yourself—a friendship bracelet, if you will. With gold and silver hardware, it’s more than versatile for everyday wear.”
For Your Dad
“Tired of ties, socks, and cufflinks for your dad? Gift him sunglasses instead. It fits the one-size-fits-all all brief that dad gifts do, and it’ll be a lot more useful (and special) for him too.”
- Paolo Chua
Recommendations From Our Deputy Editor and Digital Editor
For Your Travel-Loving Friend
“Trans Siberian by Coco Capitan captures the Spanish photographer’s journey along the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway during the COVID-19 outbreak. It epitomizes the spirit of long-distance travel, which can be pleasurable as well as perilous. It’s perfect for fellow adventurers who are usually possessed with wanderlust.”
For the Fragrance Aficionado
“Scents conjure wonderful images and memories—even memories we’d want to have. The Ombre Nomade is a deep and smoky scent with notes of oud and benzoin evokes a feeling of meandering under a starry desert sky. It’s perfect for the friend who wants to indulge in romance and revelry.”
- Tin Dabbay
For Your Mom
“Nothing beats a practical present. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull Bandoulière Inside Out MM is not only a classic gift to give to mom, but a versatile leather accessory that she’ll overuse to no end. A carry-all for life. Besides, a woman can’t own too many totes.”
For the Picky Trendsetter
“Having trouble gifting the fashion-savvy friend of your clique? Opt for a style-proof purse that will stand the test of fleeting trends. The Monogram Mini Pochette is a perennial choice that goes with any outfit or personal style.”
- Maura Rodriguez
