A gift under £100 looks expensive when the material is good and the design is simple: gold-tone metal, velvet, cashmere, silk and leather. Everything here costs less than £100, from £18 to £95, and all of it is in stock now, early enough to plan the whole list.
For her 
Gold-tone jewellery
Reiss’s Flavia hoops have a fluid wave shape in gold-tone plating, £48. The Tova lariat ends in two sculpted drops, £75.
The Francesca studs are hammered gold-tone with fine crystals along the base, £65.
For her dressing table 
A box, a lipstick, a scent
Sophie Bille Brahe’s small box is velvet with a satin interior, a tassel and a slip pocket, small enough for a suitcase. £75.
Tom Ford’s Lip Color Matte in Pussycat has a velvet matte finish, £48.29. Le Labo’s Rose 31 is a woody floral of rose, cumin and cedar, 0.5oz for £85.27.
For him, the details 
Cufflinks, a tie, a cardholder
Reiss’s Carrick cufflinks are a gold-tone twisted bar with black onyx, £68. Vivienne Westwood’s silk tie is a tartan jacquard with an embroidered orb, £85.
The Floyd cardholder is woven leather with six card slots, £18.
How to make a small gift look generous
Choose one good thing over several cheap ones. Pick natural materials, cashmere, silk, leather, metal, because they look and feel better than the price suggests. Buy for what they already wear, a colour or a metal they return to. And wrap it well: a small box with a ribbon reads as considered.
