Luxe Loves Holiday Edition

With Christmas only a week away, our to-do list is dwindling. We found 50 gifts under $50, we rounded up hostess gifts perfect for the holidays, convinced local chefs to share their favorite holiday recipes and even learned tips for creating the ultimate holiday shindig. Now it’s time to choose something worthy of the special someones in our life. We have more than a few ideas for gift giving that you are sure to love — even if you are simply shopping for yourself. Don’t let the price tag on these items scare you away; they are well worth the price.
