‘Tis the season of giving means ‘tis the season of buying. This means investing in things for other people. With your own money on the line, you don’t want to buy people things they won’t like. You want to spend your hard earned money on something the other person will actually use.

The fear of gifting a parent an expensive tablet that will collect dust in a desk drawer or a granddaughter a pricey necklace she’ll never wear is real. But this fear doesn’t have to lead to gift cards or less expensive items. You can still invest in others and make the right choice at the same time.

Here are 20 popular luxurious gifts people actually want for the holidays this year.

1. The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer

KitchenAid Stand Mixer in Empire Red

Give someone the gift of a luxurious looking (and very adult!) kitchen countertop this year with the top-selling KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer. They will not only love the way our favorite stand mixer looks, but also the way it helps bake amazing treats.
