  1. What a wonderfully diverse mixture of ideas! My extravagent side is drawn to the gold chocolate from DeLafée and I think PICmyTRIP would make a wonderful gift but for me I’d have to go with the Truffle making with William Curley. Experiences like these really do make lasting memories.

  2. Great group of luxurious gifts, any of which we be a big hit with me! The crafter in me loves the Peter Rabbit clutch and reminds me off all the cigar box handbags I have made over the years. The skill and artistry on the Sugar and Plumm egg is so over the top, it’s the winner of the group for me.

  3. What a fabulous array of ideas! I particularly like the truffle making, but the photo memories also stands out for me. Any of them would, however, be very happily received as a gift :) This article is one to keep for other occasions as well though, for gift giving ideas.

  4. I have to agree with this amazing gift guide. One of my favorite gifts however was a gift certificate to a luxury car rental to the car of my choice for a week. I truly felt like royalty.
