Holiday gifting season has arrived, and through the years, the wish list has continued to grow. For its 1926 selection, WWD invited readers to explore “novel, practical gifts with luxurious appeal.” The two-page layout featured lingerie — bandeaux, lace chemises and satin slippers — sweaters for skating, costume jewelry by famed New York jeweler W. Reichert & Co., and a perfect pair of gloves to complete any outfit. Today, influential lists of “giftable luxuries” may have changed slightly, but they remain a quintessential way to get into the holiday mood.
