Luxury Christmas gifts

Some people are hard to buy for. Not because they're picky, but because they already have what they need. That's where luxury gifts for her, him or the whole family come in. Stop gifting another pair of socks and start gifting something they'll actually look forward to.

RedBalloon luxury Christmas gifts are indulgent experiences rather than more things to store. A private picnic with harbour views. A weekend away in wine country. A morning drifting over the Hunter Valley in a hot air balloon. These are the kind of luxury presents people still talk about after Boxing Day.

We've spent over 25 years partnering with some of Australia's best day spas, restaurants and tour operators, so every luxury gift idea on this page is genuinely amazing. Every voucher is valid for 5 years too, so there's no rush to use it.

Below is our pick of the best luxury Christmas gifts this year, along with the questions we're asked most about giving an experience as a luxury present.

The best luxury Christmas gifts for her

Luxury gifts for her don't need to be complicated, just properly considered. Whether you're shopping for your mum, your sister, your wife or your best friend, these Christmas gift ideas for her feel chosen, not grabbed off a shelf on Christmas Eve.

  • Private picnic hamper experience at Observatory Hill for two. A proper luxury hamper, overflowing with cheese, charcuterie and bubbles, set up with harbour views included.
  • Luke Nguyen lunch menu with wine at Botanic House for two. A long lunch by one of Australia's best known chefs, in the middle of the Royal Botanic Garden. This is what a luxury Christmas present should feel like.
  • Warm oil upper body and facial massage with head spa. Ninety minutes of proper pampering. Not every luxury gift needs a grand gesture, sometimes the best one is simply time to switch off.

What about luxury Christmas gifts for him?

There's less written about luxury gifts for men, but the idea holds just as well. Fast cars, a decent whisky and a proper view from above all count as luxury Christmas gifts for him, especially when the booking's already done for you.

  • V8 race car driving, 6 laps in Sydney. Six laps in a genuine V8 race car, professional instructor included. About as far from a tie as Christmas gets.
  • Sydney Harbour helicopter flight. A scenic flight over the bridge, the Opera House and the harbour, seen properly for once. Short, sharp and genuinely impressive.
  • Whisky distillery tour with take-home bottle for two. A guided tour through a Mornington Peninsula distillery, four whiskies tasted along the way, and a bottle to take home from the cask.

Still not sure exactly what to pick? A RedBalloon gift voucher or e-gift card lets the recipient choose their own luxury experience from the full range, and both are valid for 5 years so there's no pressure to use them straight away. Gift vouchers and e-gift cards are ready to send today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good luxury Christmas gift for someone who already has everything?

This is exactly where an experience gift earns its keep. Instead of another object, give a weekend away somewhere new. Our 2 night winery getaway in the Hunter Valley for two is a good example, a couple of days that don't add to the pile of things they already own.

What are some unusual luxury gifts for her?

Look outside the usual candles and skincare sets. A thermal springs and spa session with 2 course dining for two is a genuinely unusual luxury Christmas present, and one she's unlikely to buy for herself.

Can I personalise a luxury Christmas gift voucher?

Yes. Every RedBalloon gift voucher includes a personal message field at checkout, so you can add a note explaining why you picked it for them.

Is a luxury dining experience a good Christmas gift?

Very much so. Good food is one of the most reliably well received luxury Christmas presents there is. Our 3 course dinner at Infinity by Mark Best for two is a strong pick if you want something impressive without the planning.

How far in advance should I book a luxury Christmas experience?

Digital vouchers can be bought and sent any time up to Christmas Eve, so there's no need to rush. If you're booking directly onto a fixed date though, popular experiences can fill up weeks in advance over the holiday period, so it pays to book earlier rather than later.

What if they'd rather choose their own luxury experience?

A RedBalloon gift voucher or card lets them do exactly that. It works like an open-value voucher, they browse the full range and pick whatever suits, and it's still every bit a luxury gift, just with more freedom built in. Browse the full luxury experiences range.
