We all have that bougie friend who speaks Gucci, Louis and Prada fluently—they wear the latest must-haves from high-end designers, and they strut to be seen. This holiday season, we’ve put together a luxe list of gift ideas for the queen who has expensive and discriminating taste. If you can’t afford ’em, share these with your label queen friend’s wealthy husband. After all, it’s the thought that counts.

The holy grail of all designer bags, Hermès creates this sleek, sexy and functional handbag—you know, for everyday activities. $9,800, hermes.com
2. Hightop Sneakers by Louboutin
Known for its red sole, Louboutin gives us this decadent leather sneaker with metallic spikes. High fashion can be comfortable at this price point. $1,345, louboutin.com
3. Exclusive Grammy Awards Experience

5. Apple Watch, (Product)Red Edition
The label-conscious queen approves of this new Apple Watch edition for a few reasons: Namely, it’s sporty and chic. Plus, the proceeds from (Product)Red items like this sports band help to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, a cause close to our heart. $369 and up for the Apple Watch, $49 and up for the (Product)Red sports band, apple.com
6. Dom Perignon
When your label-lover is also a thirsty bitch, you can’t go wrong with Dom Perignon. A smooth taste with just enough bubbles, this iconic Champagne won’t give you a hangover the next day. (Trust us, we know.) From $199, domperignon.com
7. Sexy Drawers by La Perla
Your posh friend doesn’t wear 2(x)ist or AussieBum, so instead opt for La Perla, the Italian lingerie powerhouse, which offers a sensual and understated men’s collection for the guy who has exquisite taste. $118, laperla.com
8. La Mer
La Mer is the grande dame of skin care products, and your friend is sure to love you for this thoughtful gift. The 1 oz. bottle ain’t cheap, but it usually comes with a sample size as a gift—which means, if you’re feeling nice and naughty, you could keep the 1 oz. bottle for yourself and give the sample size as the gift. From $170, lamer.com
9. Skis by Chanel
For the sporty gay, these Chanel skis are the perfect accessory for him to carry around the lounge. Fabulously designed in wood, tweed, resin-red and gold, your snow bunny will look great in photos standing next to that iconic double-C logo. $6,000, chanel.com
10. Cockring by Cartier
Cartier doesn’t actually make cockrings, but we wish they did! If your label-conscious friend has a healthy sex life and is maybe a bit naïve to boot, why not give him a cockring and tell him it’s from Cartier or Tiffany’s? Again, it’s the thought that counts. This one is Mr. S Leather’s Stealth Aluminum Cockring. $37, mr-s-leather.com
