Christmas is this Friday. Buying online this close to the festive day is a dicey venture, while mingling amongst shoppers is best avoided during these safer-at-home times. Ordering in advance for curbside pickup is definitely the way to go this week! If you still need to shop for a special someone who enjoys a bit of luxury, here are three budget-friendly ideas that you can order from LA retailers for curbside pickup.
Voluspa Candles
Voluspa candles always make an impressive gift. The packaging, whether glass or tin, is chic and lovely, and looks far more high-end than you’d guess based on their affordable prices. They are handcrafted with coconut wax, which makes for a clean-burning candle that’s good for the environment in general and your home in particular. They smell gorgeous, with scents like Baltic Amber and White Cypress, and are made with high-quality fragrances. Voluspa’s tin candles begin at $10, while the glass candles begin at $12. These are probably the most affordable luxury candles available and can be purchased at various retailers. I’d recommend Nordstrom for both a wide variety and safe curbside pickup.

Compartés has been creating handmade premium chocolate in Los Angeles for over 70 years. Inspired by European-style chocolates, Compartés chocolates are made from scratch using the highest-quality ingredients, resulting in “edible works of art.” Though the Brentwood Compartés store does not offer curbside pickup, their location on La Brea near Melrose does. Boxes of gourmet truflles begin at $19.95. More information
