For most people luxury isn’t a private jet or a yacht or a sportscar. Mostly, luxury means something we might not feel justified spending the money on if the rent is due, but we’d really love to have. This year advicesisters.com is suggesting luxury gifts (some under $10) that won’t put you in debt this season. These luxury gifts from Krigler, SEECAS shoes, Luxe Bag Care, Schiffer Publishing, and Vim + Vigor all have that “WOW!” factor. Treat yourself to a few!
LUXE Krigler Candle:
In 2014 we reviewed a beautiful fragrance by Krigler called Lovely Patchouli. Launched in 1955 it is still a top seller for Krigler. Jackie Kennedy Onasis She fell in love with the Krigler perfume Lovely Patchouli around the time she married Aristotle Onassis. I did too. It’s an addictive, sensual scent.
For 2020 and what could be more luxe than a Krigler Lovely Patchouli Opus 55 Pink Scented Candle ($125) in a gorgeous artisanal rose glass. The gorgeous, artisanal votive is made in the village of Biot on the French Riviera in France. The pink is a tribute to Impressionist painter Claude Monet.
This beautifully boxed candle is a luxe treat for yourself or someone special. The fragrance is sexy and sophisticated. In our review of the Krigler Lovely Patchouli Opus 55 fragrance from 2014 we dubbed the scent “provocative and sensuous.” Keynotes of leather and bergamot along with patchouli make this far from your ordinary patchouli fragrance. The candle notes also include amber, musk, red fruits, and vanilla.
Get this glamorous fragrance on the Krigler Website.
Handbag OBSESSION:
Do you have a friend who adores her handbags? Are you handbag obsessed? Whether it’s a designer bag or a treasured flea market find, the acrylic Handbag Hanger from Luxe Bag care protects, displays, and organizes your special bags. It the perfect size for a stocking stuffer. But it also helps prolong the life of your precious purses by keeping them off the floor, preventing bag-collapse, kinked straps, and dust bunny accumulation.
Get these online on the Luxe Bag Care website and The Container Store.
SENSATIONAL Seecass Shoes:
Q: When are shoes not just shoes? A: When they’re Seecass shoes you can wear all day and night without changing them when you walk, stand, etc.
I used to carry my work and party shoes in a bag because I couldn’t walk two feet on my 2 feet in them! Maybe you’re the same. Seecaas was created with shoes that aren’t just pretty but easy to wear so you can walk and save the car service fare.
Not only are the shoes totally cute, but they are packaged in a luxe, gold zippered tote. You probably won’t need it to carry your Seecas shoes because you’ll be weaaring them. Use it for travel or for the stilettos you can’t bear to give away. It’s a great bonus!

My Seecas sample is in leopard with a red toe
These $150 Ella Flats will be your favorite go-to shoes. The ankle strap is remove-able for a more casual look. The innersole is dusted with glitter. They’re worth their weight in gold as an investment in comfort, style, and happiness.
I love these for style and comfort. One thing though, if you like to wear heavier tights or socks, or you are between sizes definitely go a half size up or they may be too tight. Get them in Snakeskin with Black Cap Toe; Light Tan With Glitter Cap Toe; Leopard with Red Cap Toe; Black Classic; Classic Navy With Light Tan Cap Toe.
Seecas Gives Back:
A portion of each purchase goes towards Seecaas’ Hope for Adoption Foundation’s grants to help families to adopt. This brand has a heart and soul (pun intended). Learn more about Hope for Adoption and buy the shoes online on the SEECAS Website
Copper Candle to CRAVE:
Copper is such a luxe metal. It gives a warm glow to your home. So why not also use it for your candles? Vim + Vigor 100% natural soy wax candles are housed in cute copper votives that you can reuse again and again.
The scents are unique and calming. My 4 oz. candle choice is “Tonka Bean and Oud.” It’s soft and spicy and really sensual. However, there are Vim + Vigor scents to make enhance a mood, such as “Beach Linen and Driftwood, and Tobacco and Amber (among others). All make great luxury gifts.
There are different sizes to suit your needs My 4 oz. soy candle encased in copper is not quite big enough for a Moscow Mule drink, but I will repurpose it for a luxe paper clip holder, or maybe for small succulents and cacti as in the photo above. Candles from $28+ are available on the Vim +Vigor Website.
