While what matters most this (and every) holiday season is health and happiness, there is also something undeniably magical about celebrating someone you love with a gift that goes above and beyond. If you’re looking to present something truly extraordinary this year, consider putting together a spectacular, over-the-top package that fuses an unforgettable experience with a few extravagant extras to make it that much more special. Below, four ideas to get you started.
For the
TRAVELER
A three-night stay at Islas Secas, a private island getaway off Panama’s Pacific coast. Send her packing with the mother of all carry-ons filled with sleek bikinis for all the surf and sand on the itinerary, gilded sandals, and a crisp cotton shirtdress for when the sun sets.

For the
JEWELRY LOVER
A paddle for this season’s Fine Jewels auction at Sotheby’s, where she’ll ooh and aah over vintage and contemporary gems. A piece (or three) off her pie-in-the-sky wish list. And a solid-walnut jewelry box lined with intricately embroidered velvet trays to keep it all in.

For the
CLOTHESHORSE
A series of one-on-one styling sessions with wardrobe consultant Allison Bornstein to help her hone her look. To supplement: the iconic and famously hard-to-secure Birkin bag, plus a capsule of equally covetable wardrobe cornerstones to pair it with.

For the
BEAUTY ENTHUSIAST
A total mental and physical reset at the Ranch Hudson Valley, an extravagant hiking-based boot camp. Best-in-class beauty products to replicate that healthy glow at home: LYMA’s red-light laser, a next-level skin program from Dr. Bader, and a gift card for a year-long supply of our favorite facial-in-a-jar. For the final touch, a sumptuous Frette robe will make her forget she ever left the estate’s gorgeous guest rooms.
