For those who are prepared to go big or go home, here are some luxe gift ideas from stores around Tampa Bay.

Canvas Fashion Gallery: Owners Michelle Burtch and Shelby Pletcher knew they found gems when they discovered jewelry from Shiver + Duke at an Atlanta market in February. The designers use vintage accessories from Chanel and Gucci and other high-end brands and repurpose them into unique earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The earrings start at $125; bracelets range from $110 to $125 and necklaces of various lengths cost between $110 and $140. Some are layered with pearls, and a line of their repurposed leather Louis Vuitton cuff bracelets sells for $57. Canvas has locations in St. Petersburg and Tampa: 1535 Fourth St. N, St. Petersburg, 727-317-5572; and Hyde Park Village, 800 S Village Circle, Tampa, 813-251-2225. shopcfg.com.
