The Extra! Extra! Holiday Gift List


If money is no object, and the goal is to express your fondest affection in something tangible, why not any of these special, special gifts that are sure to blow the minds of the people you care for the most?

Birkin 3-en-1

It’s not one gift, it’s three gifts in one. It’s a pochette, it’s a tote, it’s a tote and a pochette—the Birkin 3-en-1. This tote holdall comes with a canvas clutch topped with the emblematic leather flap and a leather tote with side straps and turnlock. Attach the clutch to the bag, where it becomes a mere compartment, and—voila!—you have the Birkin that’s been a timeless symbol of exquisite style since it debuted over 40 years ago.

The TK-360+ sneaker

The TK-360+ sneaker is a variation on the bold, custom-molded TK-360 first introduced for spring/summer 2022. It is, like the original, constructed in a single piece, in what Givenchy creative director Matthew Williams calls “total knit,” to achieve its distinctive shape. With dynamic, grid-like grooves, the shoe features a classic stretch knit upper fully integrated with the sole. It comes in tonal versions of black, sand, or ultraviolet or in white, gray, or black with contrasting or gradient lines of yellow and red to give it the impression of forward motion.

Flower Strass buckle pump

This pair of pumps, standing tall on vertiginous, thin heel, truly is jewelry for the feet, as the creations of master shoemaker Roger Vivier has been considered ever since he custommade shoes for the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Topped with a buckle of flower-shaped crystal appliqués, the Flower Strass Buckle Pump is handcrafted in shimmering fabric with a glitter finish. It’s the shoe to wear when the dress code says “Dress to kill.”

La Prairie Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait

Technology has made it possible to stay young forever and now, with La Prairie Skin Caviar Harmony L’Extrait, youth is a gift you can give on Christmas Day. Targeting the skin ligaments, the vertical pillars that anchor skin to its foundation, is a potent potion that helps visibly strengthen skin, effacing lines and the depth of wrinkles, resculpting and firming facial contours, restoring facial volume, and lifting the skin with continued use. If you’re feeling extra generous, Caviar Harmony L’Extrait is best paired with Skin Caviar Liquid Lift and a Skin Caviar moisturizer.
