This time of year there is no shortage of holiday gift guides. That being said, when you’re shopping for someone who loves the finer things in life, you can’t just scroll through any old list you find on the Internet. If you’re on a tight budget, you can always find great gifts under $50 or even under $25, but the luxury category requires a different kind of sourcing. Saks Fifth Avenue has been the go-to stop for tastemakers for over a millennium (yes, you read that right) and this year is no exception.
Whether you prefer to shop in-store or online, Saks will not lead you astray. You might be shelling a little more than usual, but you truly can’t put a price tag on good taste. Besides, whoever you’re shopping for (your mom, sister, best friend, or even yourself) deserves it. But don’t sweat it too much; not all of the items on this list are out of reach.
Just in time for the holidays, many of your favorite iconic brands have bundled their bestsellers into affordable sets you can snag now. From Augustinus Bader’s hydration heroes to Guerlain’s makeup essentials, you’re saving money with a lot of these items.
And while we’ve, of course, got you covered with some solid makeup and skin-care selects, we’ve even got a few options for your jetsetter friends and your fashion-obsessed friends (hello, Prada boots). Ahead, browse the 23 best gifts at Saks Fifth Avenue for the 2023 holiday season.

Best Saks Skin-Care Gifts
Dior’s Le Baume is a multipurpose lip, body, and hand cream housed in a chic container that’s easy to throw in a gym bag or tiny purse. Consider this a stocking stuffer with a penchant for tackling winter dryness; we recommend using this in cuticle-care routines to protect manicures and prevent splitting nails.
The minimalist in your life will swoon over this luscious plum-derived face oil. Le Prunier‘s no-BS Plum Beauty Oil works for all skin types (yes, even acne-prone skin) as it adds moisture without clogging pores. This fancy bottle is rich in hydrating vitamins A and E and packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids your skin craves. If you need further proof that this facial oil is worth the investment, ask associate features director Dianna Mazzone. Not only does this occlusive oil seal in all of the goodness that precedes it, but it also “smells like an almond cookie and has a dewy — not greasy — finish,” she previously attested.
If you’re an Augustinus Bader fan, The Winter Radiance System needs no introduction. It includes the brand’s best-selling face cream, The Rich Cream, as well as The Cream Cleansing Gel to give your skin a clean slate. Both products use TFC8 (Dr. Bader’s patented healing technology), which is composed of amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules that are naturally found in the body. Not only are these formulas deeply moisturizing, but they’re also proven to address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, redness, hyperpigmentation, cellulite, and stretch marks. Top it all off with The Eye Patches, an under eye treatment that you can pop on before a big event.
