Luxury Christmas Gifts by Budget
A good gift doesn't need to be the most expensive thing in the room. It needs to be the one the person keeps using long after December. We've sorted our favourite Christmas pieces by budget, from small tokens for the office exchange to the heirloom that marks a big year, so you can start with what you want to spend and find something they'll actually treasure.
Every piece here is an authentic item from the official Philippine home of Baccarat, Alessi, Villeroy & Boch, WOLF and EuroCave, and all of them are in stock for Christmas delivery.

Small doesn't mean forgettable. These are the pieces that end up on a desk or a dining table for years.

Common questions
What is a good luxury Christmas gift under ₱5,000? An Alessi Anna G. corkscrew, a Vigo bookstand or a Villeroy & Boch Fleur candleholder are all under ₱5,000, and each comes from a design house with a long history, so they make thoughtful gifts at a gift-exchange budget.
Where can I buy authentic Baccarat in the Philippines? Casa Euro is the official Philippine home of Baccarat. Every piece is authentic and can be bought online at casaeuro.ph or at our showrooms.
What should I give someone who has everything? Choose something they'll use every day rather than display once. A Baccarat 4 Elements candle, an Alessi Plissé kettle or a La Petite Boule snacking set gets used often and quietly reminds them of you.
Is a watch winder a good gift? For anyone who owns an automatic watch, yes. A winder keeps the watch running when it isn't worn, so it's always set and ready. A single winder from WOLF is a thoughtful starting point.
