Let’s face it—some people are just top tier. Your ride-or-die best friends, your closest family, your go-to person. For them, the usual socks or gift card won’t cut it. Enter this lineup of gifts over $100 that are just as thoughtful as they are timeless: Dinnerware they’ll use daily, kitchenware that’s made to last, and premium pantry upgrades they didn’t know they needed. We think all of these items, albeit with a higher price tag, are very much worth the splurge. So if you’re looking to give someone a high-quality piece that they'll have for years to come, look no further than this guide. Because when it comes to your inner circle, only the best will do.
We think anything Staub is always worth the splurge—and this cast iron braiser is no exception. Any cooking connoisseur knows that Staub is a choice cookware brand because of its durability and multi-use features. This braiser is all that and more, and can roast everything from a whole chicken to an apple crisp.
This Emile Henry fruit bowl increases countertop storage without compromising style. Time and time again, it’s one of our bestsellers, and for good reason. It’s cute enough to keep out and makes for a less cluttered countertop.

Saffron is one of those spices that's always pricier than expected—with tax, this will be more than $100—making it the perfect gift that someone might not normally splurge on themselves. Plus, with a shelf life of two years, it’s truly the gift that keeps on giving. It’s a spice that can elevate everything from risotto to ice cream.
Two iconic brands teamed up to create the ultimate wool blanket, and unsurprisingly, the result is as cozy as it is cool. It’s warm enough for winter, but still light enough to use year round. And, the design is so cute, you’ll want to keep it out all the time anyway.
When it comes to dishes that you use everyday, you should never compromise quality—which is why we recommend Dansk’s ceramic dinnerware line. Originally designed in the 1960s by Danish ceramicist Niels Refsgaard, it has that timeless, vintage aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any kitchen.
Whether it's drinks or charcuterie, we think everything looks better when served on a wooden board like this one from Serax. Despite being made from pure ash wood, it's surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to circulate around the room. Plus, it's water- and cracking- resistant, so whomever you give it to will have it for years to come.
There’s plenty of buzzy olive oil brands to choose from, but Flamingo Estate is definitely one of the best, flavorwise. And if you can’t pick just one thing, their Chef’s Kiss gift box is a great way to try three of their top products. The box includes their peppery olive oil, their wildflower honey, and their smoky chili crisp oil—all harvested and made on their family-run farm in Ojai, California.
It’s tough to pick just one piece from Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s glassware collection, but if we had to, these champagne flutes would be it. They’ve got a delicate design that’ll look great on any bar cart.
With its fresh, green scent and designer name, this Loewe Tomato Leaves candle is a great pick for anyone who takes their candle game seriously—and it’ll definitely get people talking. While the jar may look unassuming, it has a high-intensity fragrance and extended burn time that’s rightfully made it one of the most popular luxury accessories of the year.
Once you’ve had pizza made in an Ooni pizza oven, it’s hard to go back. For any serious pizza lovers in your life, if they don’t have this already, chances are it's on the top of their wishlist. For someone short on space, they also have this indoor tabletop one that’s just as effective.
