Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine

If you're looking to really change someone's life with a gift this holiday season, this kitchen gadget might be our top pick. This espresso machine boasts all the features that make Breville espresso machines so popular (we named another very similar Breville model our favorite splurge pick) — thoughtful design, precise temperature control, the full works. What makes it special is its intuitive touchscreen display, which enables you to whip up lattes, cappuccinos and a whole suite of café drinks with the press of a button. You can even adjust and personalize elements like coffee strength, temperature of the drink and the texture of the milk, making it perfect for coffee beginners and at-home barista types alike.

Estelle Colored Glass Stem Wine Glasses, Set of 6

For the stylish, wine-loving friend or family member, these trendy wine glasses are the perfect gift. They're gorgeous to display, hand-blown in Poland and attached to a cute story. Named after the founder's grandmother, who "instilled in her a love of treasure hunting for beautiful finds," the vintage-inspired tint has a charm that's just irresistible. Plus, the wide assortment of colors makes it a breeze to match your choice to the recipient's kitchen scheme and overall color preference.

Once you go high-quality bedding, there's really no going back. Give the gift of better rest with some of the most comfortable, breathable, luxurious bedding we've ever experienced.

Caraway Cookware Set

For the person in need of a new kitchen set, our recommendation is Caraway. The brand's ceramic-coated cookware is non-toxic, nonstick, easy to clean, versatile and great at conducting heat. This set has everything they'll need in the kitchen, along with super-chic magnetic pan racks and a canvas lid holder that makes organization easy and aesthetically pleasing.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum

No matter how you feel about vacuuming, a cordless Dyson vacuum makes it 100 times more enjoyable. And while a vacuum could be interpreted as a controversial gift, this one's just so good that we couldn't leave it out. (A few Underscored editors have it and love it too.) All of Dyson's cordless vacuums are incredibly lightweight, easy to use and great at picking up dust and dirt. The V12 features a laser that reveals microscopic dust, optimizes its own suction power and run time and is built with the latest hair-detangling technology.

Nest Birchwood Pine Luxury Candle

Sometimes, giving a candle as a gift can sort of be seen as a cop-out. We can guarantee that if you give a Nest candle — and this option in particular — nobody will be thinking that at all. In fact, they'll probably be hoping you got them the same thing. These burn beautifully, the scents are always rich without being overpowering and they're perfectly balanced for any room of your home. This bestselling fragrance is everything you could want for the holidays. It's woody, with notes of musk and amber — in simpler terms, a forest at Christmastime.

Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer

Juicers are undeniably one of the more luxurious kitchen tools to have, but for the person who can't resist fresh fruit and vegetable juices (and spends a lot of money on them), a high-quality juicer can easily pay for itself. And this is the best juicer we've ever tested. It's compact enough and doesn't take up too much counter space, while still packing a ton of power. The slow-squeeze technology mimics the motion of hand-squeezing juice, leaving you with deliciously fresh and pure juice, extremely dry pulp and limited waste.

Bearaby Velvet Napper

We're big fans of Bearaby's internet-famous, perfectly chunky weighted blankets. Not only are they adorable to look at, they're also great for getting better rest and just feeling calmer on those more stressful days. This velvet option, just like all of the brand's weighted blankets, gets its weight from the fabric itself as opposed to glass or plastic beads. The material is sustainable and made from recycled marine plastic — though you'd never guess it from how soft and comfortable the velvet feels.

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle

Yes, we've discovered a luxury kettle that we're absolutely obsessed with. This super-chic kitchen gadget will garner all the compliments (speaking from experience) and makes for the perfect gift for anyone who can't live without their tea or coffee. The variable control makes it easy to get precise with the temperature of your water, while features like a built-in timer make it a breeze to time your extraction. And that's not even mentioning the precision-pour spout, which will seriously make you feel like an expert barista.

Outer Wicker Outdoor Sofa

Outdoor furniture doesn't come cheap. But if you really want to treat someone special this holiday season, we'd recommend a piece from Outer. The outdoor furniture brand specializes in well-designed, durable and comfortable pieces that are easier on the environment. The Wicker Outdoor Sofa is especially gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, plus it's easy to put together and clean regularly.

Hydrow Wave Rower

For rowing beginners or pros, it doesn't get much cooler than the Hydrow Wave Rower. Much more compact than other at-home rowers (it even folds up vertically), it offers a Peloton-like service where users can row alongside virtual trainers as they pull their way through various rivers and lakes across the world — from the River Thames to streams in Alaska. One of our editors has tried it for the past few weeks and has absolutely fallen in love. It's available in a few lovely color options as well.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Signature Cookware Set

This adorable cookware set isn't just any old cookware set — it features Le Creuset's iconic round Dutch oven, which won out as our best "splurge" Dutch oven. With perfect heat distribution, easy handling and high performance and durability, it's a kitchen essential you can hand down to your children. Also included in the set are the brand's Signature Saucepan and Signature Iron Handle Skillet. While having one of these items is a great way to add some fun color to your kitchen setup, the set is even more impactful.
