There are holiday shopping lists and then there are wildly extravagant, over-the-top, wish-upon-a-star lists. This season, Vogue.com Editor at Large Candy Pratts Price has reviewed the most fantastical options out there and distilled them into one high-end gift guide that shows you what to give, what to get, and what to covet from afar. It’s expertly curated, completely comprehensive, and dedicated to discovering the ideal gift—for her, for him, even for the kids. Unsure of what to get the woman in your life? An embellished shoe is festive. And the tech-obsessive? Atomic Floyd’s headphones with a built-in microphone are the latest audio innovation. What about the fashion-conscious sports enthusiast? The custom Adeline Adeline retro bicycle is perennially in season. And for the girl who has it all? Well, she doesn’t have Munnu/The Gem Palace’s diamond necklace . . . yet. The items here aren’t for the faint of heart or shy of wallet: This isn't just a list to help you get a little something for everyone; instead, it's about the quest for the absolutely perfect gift, designed for the girl who appreciates giving and getting something that is more than a little bit unexpected.
