Good things come in small packages. At least, that’s true when it comes to these discreetly lavish gifts. These picks might not look like much when they’re all wrapped up in paper, but whoever you give them to will certainly bask in just how luxurious they are. After all, there’s something extra special about unwrapping something ordinary-seeming and finding a true gem inside. I rounded up 22 of these little luxuries that are so delightful, you just might want to treat yourself, too.
