We love a good dupe as much as the next person, but sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself to something designer. We all deserve to be spoiled every now and then, and for fashion-lovers like ourselves, that comes in the form of a worthwhile designer find. Before you jump to the thought of thousand-dollar handbags and belts that read Gucci, it's important to be aware that there is such a thing as affordable designer gifts (gasp!), and we're here to prove it. From wallets to bracelets, jewelry to sunglasses, bags to scarves, and more everyday items, numerous high-end picks can fall well within your shopping budget — all while still giving the illusion of something luxurious and high-end. We've taken care of the hard part and shopped out some items from name brands like Chanel, Le Labo, YSL, and more, so all you have to do is order, wrap, and gift them (or simply keep something for yourself).

The stylish selections of designer products we gathered are all under $300, so you can pamper your loved ones with exactly what they want this year without breaking the bank. Whether you're shopping for the upcoming holiday season, a birthday, or just because they deserve it, these gifts are relevant any time of year. They're designer gifts, after all, so they're made to last forever. Keep reading to shop these affordable luxury gifts, but be careful — you might end up wanting a few for yourself.
