The Elite Traveler Ultimate Gift Guide features in our Winter issue
Elite Traveler, the world’s leading private jet lifestyle magazine, is proud to present the Holiday Gift Guide 2024. As they say, there is a perfect gift out there for everyone, but that gift becomes a lot harder to find if you’re buying for one of the world’s most affluent people. This ultimate luxury gift guide is designed to offer a helping hand to high earners with an extensive selection of the most exclusive and sought-after items.
Our team of luxury lifestyle writers have curated a list of over 150 gifts available only to a select few. We have divided the gifts into 10 distinct categories, including For Him, For Her, Jewelry and Wine & Spirits.
We paid particular attention to our Giftable Experiences guide, which offers a select list of the most exclusive vacations. The Giftable Experiences include everything from a bespoke James Bond-style adventures to an all-encompassing summer tour worth six figures.
Our dedicated Kids Gift Guide lends a helping hand to those spending this holiday season with little ones. Often the hardest people to buy for, today’s children are as discerning as most adults. While many have no problem putting a list of requests together, our gift guide offers a list of presents that are sure to surprise and delight them. For those who prefer furry children, our dedicated Pets gift guide provides some of the finest animal accessories on the planet.
And then what to buy for the billionaire who has everything? Our Billionaire Gift Guide is the go-to guide for the most ludicrous gifts that push the boundaries of luxury and extravagance. From precious Faberge eggs to supercar-inspired helicopters, our Billionaire Gift Guide pays homage to infinite wealth.
Our editor-in-chief, Alex Martin, has paid particular attention to this year’s Wine & Spirits Gift Guide, curating a selection of the best expressions he’s tried throughout 2024. From the unanimously popular The Balvenie’s $54,000 single malt to The Macallan’s new Time : Space, this year’s guide has been curated for the serious collector.
To complement our digital edition, we have included the most exclusive items in our Winter 2024/25 as part of the Ultimate Gift Guide. Shot by Mitch Payne and styled by Maya Linhares-Marx, the Elite Traveler Ultimate Gift Guide contains dazzling diamond necklaces, complicated timepieces and exceptionally rare spirits.
