    We're always ready to reward a savvy shopper, but sometimes the occasion — or the recipient — deserves a little extra. When you need to splash out on a high-end present, you want to make sure you're getting a gift that's memorable and made with impeccable quality.

    Sounds like a job for GiftingMap. The shopping site is curated by the in-the-know experts at CultureMap, so only the finest finds make it into the collections. If you've already shopped for most of the men and women in your life but are still looking for that true showstopper of a surprise, chances are good you'll find it here.

    And if you're hoping that whoever's out there shopping for you is picking the right items, help make sure by taking a GiftingMap quiz and sending them your preferences. From now through December 25, exchange gift guide quizzes with three friends and you'll be entered to win a shopping spree worth up to $500 for yourself and $100 each for your trio.

    Baccarat Bubble Box
    The crystal experts have been turning out coveted glassware, barware, candlesticks, vases, and decorative objects of the highest craftsmanship since 1764, so it makes sense that this set is always ready for a party. Six exceptional Champagne glasses give each guest a special flair and add some sparkle to the night.

    Gray Malin Cacti print
    The third part of the famous photographer's whimsical "Far, Far Away" series transports viewers to the bright salt flats of Bolivia, where a row of scattered cacti stands out against the horizon. The print, which comes framed or unframed and in three different sizes, is signed by the artist and printed on premium archival luster paper.

    Hook & Albert leather Weekender bag
    A longtime male staple, this coveted leather bag is now also made with the ladies in mind. Engineered for lightweight functionality and fashion, it features a smaller and lighter silhouette with a built-in expandable garment section that's perfect for hanging long dresses and tops. The increased handle lengths allow the bag to be carried in a variety of ways, including the forearm or over the shoulder for maximum comfort.

    Sara Reichardt Lego table
    You're never too old for Legos, especially when they look this chic. Austin interior designer Sara Reichardt custom-makes these modern showpieces, which work just as well accenting a living room as they do in a child's play space. Inspired by the Art Deco design movement of the 1920s, the geometric forms of Cubism, and the bright colors of Fauvism, the acrylic table — which is made from more than 1,500 bricks and is available in other colors and styles — bring a bold dash of glamour to your decor.

    Just one Saks Off 5th store in DFW survives company's nationwide closures

    Saks Off 5th is closing most of its stores.

    Saks Global, parent company of Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, is closing most of its discount designer stores as it tries to wiggle through bankruptcy. In Dallas-Fort Worth, three Saks Off 5th and Neiman Marcus Last Call stores will shutter, and one will remain open.

    According to a release:

    • The Saks Off 5th in Grapevine Mills mall will survive as the only remaining Saks Off 5th in Texas.
    • A Neiman Marcus Last Call store in Grapevine Mills will close.
    • The Saks Off 5th store in Dallas (8040 Park Ln.) will close February 2.
    • The Saks Off 5th location in Grand Prairie (2950 W. I-20 #125) will close February 2.

    In total, 57 Off 5th stores and all remaining Last Call stores will shutter nationwide. (A complete list of closures can be found here.)

    The mass closures come after Saks Global filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections on January 14. The conglomerate has been buckling under the strain of $2.5 million in debt it acquired with the 2024 purchase of rival retailer Neiman Marcus.

    "As we advance on Saks Global's transformation, we are taking decisive steps to realign our business to better serve our luxury customers and drive full-price selling across our core luxury businesses," says Geoffroy van Raemdonck, chief executive officer of Saks Global, in a release. "With these actions, we will be well positioned to seize the greatest opportunities for long-term growth and value creation. We sincerely thank our Saks Off 5th and Last Call colleagues for the important role they have played in serving our loyal customers."

    In good news for shoppers, many of the U.S. stores, including those in DFW, will kick off closing sales beginning January 31. Additionally, saksoff5th.com will wind down its operations with an online closing sale beginning Friday, January 30.

    The select Saks Off 5th stores remaining open, including the Grapevine Mills location, will serve primarily as a selling channel for residual inventory from Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman, the company says.

    The overall primary market for luxury goods has been declining in recent years due to changing customer preferences, a perceived decline in quality in top brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and a growing resale market led by sites like The RealReal and Vestaire Collective.
