This one is for those at the top of Santa’s Nice List! I’ve pranced all over the island like one of Santa’s loyal elves and I’ve discovered some of the most fabulous items worthy of coveting this Christmas. From jewelry, to tech toys, a staycation, a car and more, you’ll have to pick your jaw up from the ground by the end of this list. Santa if you’re reading: hint, hint!
Sailing with Tucker Thompson (pictured above)
What if I told you that you can experience world class sailing at the helm with former America’s Cup sailor and commentator, Tucker Thompson? And if that’s not incredible enough, this experience also includes a stay at the award-winning and luxurious Rosewood Bermuda. This is really a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience that I’m sure anyone will appreciate but particularly if you are a sailing enthusiast. $50,000, Rosewood Bermuda.
Fit for a Queen!
You know what they say: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and I’m loving this white gold crown ring studded with .30 carat diamonds from DavidRose, $1,400.

A drone is the ultimate toy for the techie or photographer in your life. The Phantom 4 Pro Quadcoptor boasts a 3-axis stabilized gimbal camera with 20 megapixels that allows you to shoot 4K video at 60 frames per second – In other words, your footage will be of professional quality! Take your droning experience to the next level with a set of goggles and you’ll feel like you’re flying. Quadcopter, $1799; goggles $499, both from Gear & Gadgets.

Amplify your Home
The new Bose Home Speaker is pure magic. You can fill any room with wall to wall sound, control it with voice, touch, or the app and access millions of songs with Alexa, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Audible. Don’t believe me? Pop into P-tech and give it a try! $729.
Lookin’ Fresh!
A classic watch never goes out of style, and luxury watches only appreciate in value over the years. How could any guy not drool over the Cartier Cle White Gold timepiece from Astwood Dickinson? Worth $35,000, this is no small ticket item but if he’s worth it, why not treat him to the best.
For the Techy
Upgrade your workspace for the new year with a MacBook Pro from iClick. These powerful machines are perfect for the freelancer or anyone who needs their work to be portable. Prices range from $1879 to $4099.
Your Carry All
I was going to include a handbag on this list, but when I popped into Lusso, I fell in love with this Fendi backpack, which is perfect for anyone carrying around more than what can fit in a standard-sized handbag (moms, I’m looking at you!) Fendi backpack, $2290.
Vroom, Vroom!
Who hasn’t totally indulged in fantasizing about waking up on Christmas morning, stepping outside and seeing a sporty new car adorned with a massive red bow just waiting for you? In my own fantasy, it’s a jet-black BMW 2 Series Cabrio from Bermuda Motors, priced coolly at $90,000.
Listen with Intent
Give the music lover in your life the gift of superior sound with the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Wireless and they’ll never miss a beat! $439 from P-tech.
Outfitted for the Holidays
When you’re young, clothing for Christmas isn’t always a welcomed gift but as we all know, things change as you mature. I love receiving a new outfit for Christmas, one I can wear during the holiday and throughout New Year’s festivities. This matching blouse and pant set from FH Bermuda can be worn together or separately and is exactly what I’m into this holiday season. Top $450; $550.
