  1. Christmas Gift Guide: 25 luxe gifts less than $50

    We Are Scout Christmas Gift Guide 2015: Mercury Tealights,  each, from West Elm Australia. In today's Gift Guide, we wanted to show you how you can buy luxe and designer presents on a budget. We're not talking about the latest iPad or a Valentino dress (we wish), but rather small, well-designed gifts, by designers such as Marc Jacobs and Tom Dixon, as well as smaller, artisanal and independent designers. Nothing says luxe more than the gleam of metallics, so our gift guide showcases a mix of beautiful eye-catching designs, from bang-on-trend copper and brass to mercury and gold. While I couldn't find a bijou Chanel buy for under $50, I settled for the rather excellent Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick instead. I don't know about you, but I'd rather unwrap a single tube of sensational Chanel lipstick than a budget-vacuumed-sealed-box of 12 crummy lippies. Small, yes. But also very special, superb quality, and a little touch of luxury I wouldn't usually spend on myself. Top: Mercury Tealights, $6 each, from West Elm Australia.
