Global Luxury Gift Guide
Exploring the world by private jet* offers unparalleled access to iconic landmarks, natural attractions, exclusive adventures, and immersive experiences. We bring each destination to life by connecting you with the rich history and vibrant cultures unique to the region. Private shopping experiences to purchase luxury gifts are available in most cities, towns and places we visit. Discover some of our favorite luxury gift items awaiting your discovery—from antique ceramics and luxurious hand-woven textiles to bespoke fashion and gourmet culinary products.
Gourmet Culinary Products
Bring back a taste of your travels by purchasing gourmet culinary products and traditional ingredients to give as gifts. Greek olive oil is central to Mediterranean cuisine and reflects the region’s enduring agricultural heritage. Ancient Greeks considered olive trees sacred, believing they were a gift from the goddess Athena. Today, Greece continues to produce some of the world’s finest olive oils, celebrated for their distinct flavor and quality. Italy’s Tuscany region has also been a top producer for centuries, with Florence’s olive oil known for its fruity, slightly spicy flavor and high levels of antioxidants. In Petra, Medjool or Jordanian dates are a traditional staple grown on the sun-drenched banks of the fertile Jordan River Valley—and are a delicious gift to bring home. For an immersive culinary experience, head off on a guided truffle hunt in Croatia to forage for Croatian truffles, a highly coveted ingredient and unique luxury gift item. To satisfy a sweet tooth, purchase authentic Turkish delights from Turkey, premium Belgian chocolate, Parisian macarons and New Zealand manuka honey.

From ancient rituals to contemporary creations, alcoholic beverages are ingrained in human history. Give a luxury gift of fine wine or spirits unique to the destination you’re visiting.

At nearly $2,500 per bottle, Reikyo -absolute0- is the pinnacle of luxury gift items when paired with an authentic Japanese sake set. If you prefer whisky, purchase a bottle of Yamazaki Reserve—the flagship single malt from Japan’s oldest and most prominent malt distillery, the House of Suntory.
Luxury Handcrafted Stationery
Designer stationery is a lovely gift to bring back for creatives. Visit the artisans of Koni Ghil to learn about the revival of traditional Uzbek handmade paper, made from natural materials including silk, henna, mulberry and rose water. Washi, a UNESCO-recognized traditional craft of hand-making paper, is practiced in only three Japanese communities and is an exclusive luxury gift to give.

Or, for custom-made luxury gifts, including high-quality bespoke shirts and suits, engage a master tailor in Vietnam or India.
Luxury Cashmere
Luxuriously soft cashmere is a naturally light, silky and warm fiber procured from the undercoat of Kashmir goats. In Nepal, artisans use traditional harvesting and processing methods to hand-weave beautiful luxury gift items in an array of natural and vibrant hues.
