We are officially in the best time of the year, with celebratory lunches and dinners quickly filling up our schedules. As the festivities bring 2023 to a close, there’s no better time to treat your loved ones with a special gift or two. Whether you’re planning a Christmas feast or a New Year’s Eve gathering, below are some of the best gifts to give the women in your life to celebrate them, and the year that was.

Marina Raphael’s bejeweled bags are perfect for end-of-year celebrations, while Valentino’s Loco top handle bag is one that will earn you major brownie points. However, if clothing is more your thing, look to Sara El Emary for a bold red staple to gift your best friend, or help your favorite person layer up in something more versatile like Yomi’s blazer in a playful purple hue.
The best jewelry gifts this festive season

If you’re heading over for a Christmas bash, spoil your host with one of Pandora’s delicate little charms — the emerald green Christmas tree makes the sweetest like add-on.
