Gifts for the Difficult to Please: The Jet Setters

We all have that one glamorous friend or family member who’s incredibly difficult to please and even harder to shop for — mostly because these picky types have already made their lists and had their assistants check them twice. Fortunately, 1stdibs traffics in the kind of objects that can win over even the most jaded, seen-it-all giftees. And because you might still need help navigating the waters, we’ve designed a taxonomy of popular personalities and paired them with perfect presents. Just call us the snarky Santa.

Sure, everyone loves to travel. But these two have made it an art. The (private) jet-set adventurer and the perpetual ex-pat are restless, neo-explorers with Instagram accounts that resemble issues of Condé Nast Traveller. If they don’t have seven-figures worth of frequent flier miles, it’s only because they rarely fly commercial. The best way to please this been-there-done-that duo? Speak to their sense of wanderlust by gifting internationally sourced souvenirs, exotic treasures and vintage travel accessories. Browse our hand-selected picks below — and then browse our full gift guides to pick out something for yourself!
