Holiday Gift Guide: 96 Luxury Gifts That Delight All Six Senses

Tasteful treats for even the most discerning recipient.

Part of what makes the holidays so memorable is the way it engages all of your senses: the smell of gingerbread and mulled wine; the sight of candles and blinking lights in windows; the taste of turkey and latkes and goose; the feel of felt stockings by the fireplace. And, yes, the sound of All I Want for Christmas Is You for the 879th time.

This year we went looking for gifts that would reinvigorate and refresh those senses—even the so-called sixth sense—whether that means some charms to ward off bad vibes, cocooning cashmere slippers to comfort sore feet, or new sunglasses to see the season in a new way. And for those who simply can’t take another verse of Feliz Navidad, a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Just remember, it’s not against the rules to buy one or two of these for yourself.
