With Christmas only a couple of weeks away, our to-do list is slowly starting to dwindle. The only thing left? Crossing everyone off our gift list. Last week, we featured 50 local gifts under $50. This week, we’re focusing on more indulgent luxury gifts worth giving to that someone special — or merely dreaming of for yourself! Some are definitely over-the-top, and others are simply a splurge gift for that someone special. Here is this year’s Luxe Loves Holiday Edition!
FOR THE HOME

We have a lot of love for this Jennifer Gibbs piece called “Esprit No. 5.” The captivatingly colorful 48-by-72-inch work of art is a wishlist-worthy decor item for any art lover.
