The holidays are right around the corner! Looking for a last minute gift, CF has you covered. Just because it’s the season of giving, doesn’t mean it has to be the season of major spending.

1. Dior Lip Oil

Not only does this product look great on everyone, but the elevated packaging and the oil’s smooth formula makes this product feel super luxurious. Any beauty lover will appreciate this staple as a gift this holiday season.

Prada’s Candy Perfume Travel Spray is a great option for the girl who’s always on the go. The sleek packaging of this product is conveniently purse-friendly and allows the user to test a new scent without the commitment of a full bottle.

8. Louis Vuitton City Guide
A city guide from Louis Vuitton is a great gift for someone who loves to travel or has a big trip coming up. With contributions from journalists, artists, and major figures, Louis Vuitton says the books are made to bring to life “the world’s most fascinating cities for business and leisure travelers alike.” The books act as exploration guides and provide insight into the cities’ best attractions, from eateries to monuments to hidden gems. In addition, each purchase comes with a mobile version of the guide.
The City Guide Series
Available for 32 cities. $37.
9. Louis Vuitton Postcards Box
A Louis Vuitton ocean liners labels postcard box is also a great option for those who appreciate travel. The box is a touching gift for those who are passionate about travel, as it is meant to “pay tribute to the bygone tradition of sticking labels on the trunks and smaller luggage pieces of great travelers.” The box includes 30 vintage-inspired ocean liner labels that can be used as either postcards or stickers. Plus, the packaging can double as a memory box once all of the labels have been used.
Ocean Liners Labels Postcards Box
Available in one size. $62.
10. YSL Lighter
Lastly, we have the item that costs the least on our list, YSL’s “Appele Moi” Lighter. Although this gift would be best appreciated by smokers or candle lovers, the functionality and aesthetic of the lighter makes it an acceptable gift for most. The lighter features the French translation of “call me” on one side and the YSL logo on the other, meaning your fancy friends will be able to subtly show off each time they use it.
