THE GIFT OF PRE-LOVED

During the holiday season, I think gifting is the best part of all. The look on someone you love’s face when they open the gift you picked especially for them is priceless.

That being said, everything we gift comes with a price tag and sometimes a heftier one than we can justify. But if you love gifting designer items (as much as you love buying or receiving them), why not think outside the store and go pre-loved?

The majority of pre-loved items are in new or mint condition, the savings is exponential and you get to gift someone something that is ridiculously luxe without starving yourself. I call that a win-win.

So below I have compiled a list of items that are now available on Cocktails and Luxury that fall within opening to splurging price points, that would be ideal gifts for someone you love who loves beautiful things.
