What is the 5 gift rule for luxury Christmas presents?

The 5 gift rule is a good barometer for gift-giving. It is geared around the idea of choosing presents from five categories: something they want, need, wear, read and do. When it comes to finding affordable luxury Christmas gifts, you can apply this rule with an extra special lens. Take these five categories into consideration but choose an option or item that they might not necessarily treat themselves to.
