1. Montblanc Cabin With Front Pocket
Price: AUD$1,730
Champions of everything from pens to watches, Montblanc have also mastered the art of modern luggage. The luxury brand’s cabin-size trolley makes up part of a larger series and blends form with function to superlative results. It’s expertly forged from lightweight polycarbonate with premium leather trims, and that’s just the exterior. Open this baby up to discover Jacquard fabric lining with a hexagonal motif, offering plush and organised storage for your travel essentials.
With dimensions of 38 x 55 x 23 cm, the Montblanc Cabin will fit in most overhead compartments. Sturdy on the outside and luxurious within, it features smooth-rolling wheels, an adjustable handle, and roomy pockets for smaller items. Logo detailing drives home its elegant allure and so too does the streamlined profile. Choose between a handful of unique colourways, including our personal favourite, Avio Blue. This is iconic travel gear that has first-class written all over it, no matter what section you’re sitting in.
2. Hublot Square Bang Unico King Gold Blue Ceramic 42mm
Price: AUD$62,100
A mind-bending work of art in horological form, Hublot’s Square Bang Unico garnered rapturous attention when it first debuted at Watches & Wonders back in 2022. Here we are two years later and the collection has found its place amongst high-end collectors and fans at large. To merely glance upon the particular watch is to know right away that it’s worthy of all the hype (and the premium price tag). In a word, this thing is extraordinary.
Forged from high-tech ceramic and an exclusive King Gold alloy, the Square Bang Unico King Gold Blue Ceramic matches sturdy construction with convention-defying design elements. A multi-layered skeleton dial catches the eye with its hypnotic interplay between its inner and outer workings. Flanking the display is a similarly radical case design, which features a solid square with rounded gold corners and hosts six signature Hublot screws on the solid bezel.
Your jaw might be drooping a little right now and we completely understand. Oh, and you also have a little drool on the side of your mouth. Wipe it away and check your bank account to see if you can afford this luxurious stunner, either for yourself or for one heck of a lucky recipient. Talk about gifting with a Bang!
3. Common Projects Original Achilles Leather Sneakers
Price: AUD$451
Common Projects put themselves well ahead of the current minimalist trend when they debuted the Achilles leather sneaker nearly a decade ago. Originally designed by co-founders Peter Poopat and Flavio Girolami as the ultimate summer kick, this stylish footwear now comes in a variety of striking hues. Each pair is made in Italy from 80% leather, with cushy leather lining, rubber soles, and signature gold-stamped serial numbers.
Designed for summer perhaps, the Achilles is now a smart casual sneaker for every season. It uses premium materials, monochromatic silhouettes, and sparing details to render its streamlined statement. Conspicuously comfortable, the sneaker is also brilliantly versatile in that it combines with a slew of smart casual ensembles. Many imitators have emerged since this one debuted, but there can be only one original. Look for the gold-stamped serial numbers and accept nothing less.
4. Transparent Acoustic Sculpture Speaker
Price: USD$4,200
Putting pretty much every other Bluetooth speaker to shame, this one from Transparent was hand-sculpted by company founder Per Brickstad.

Each speaker is built to order and synchronous with another of its kind so get two while you’re at it, big spender!
5. Jaques Marie Mage Zepherin Sunglasses

6. Creed Aventus
Price: AUD$539
Hailing from the House of Creed, Aventus fragrance delivers a bold and nuanced profile with an iconic bottle design to match.

7. Cartier Santos de Cartier Watch
Price: AUD$12,600
The Santos de Cartier wristwatch blazes a trail back to the early 1900s and carries forth a luxurious legacy.

Things to Consider for Luxury Gifts
When it comes to luxury gift ideas, simply wrapping a bow on a new Rolex isn’t quite enough (although we’d all love that). In fact, if you want to get the special occasion right, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Price: Perhaps the most obvious consideration, the price will inevitably play a factor in your purchasing decision. While you may want to splash out for a significant birthday or gifting event, more often than not, you’ll be aiming around the $50-$100 mark for most gifts. In the luxury world, however, gifts don’t exactly come cheap. To get the most out of your gift idea, don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price.
- Brands: Luxury lovers are notoriously brand loyal, so before you set off and buy your special someone a new accessory, make sure it fits their aesthetic. Buy a Dior man a Fendi keychain and he may never speak to you again.

Luxury Gift Ideas FAQs
If you are looking for small luxury gift ideas, it’s always a good idea to go for products that need replenishing. For example, a new fragrance, skincare product or moisturiser will work well as they are luxurious, but not over-the-top expensive.
If you are looking to buy some quiet luxury gifts this year, aim for non-branded high-end clothing from labels such as The Row, alongside non-descript minimalist jewellery, unlabeled caps and knitwear.
