|

curated by Adrianne Webster

FOR CLASSIC BAG LOVERS | Holly bag in Sand, £395, C Nicol

You can’t go wrong with a tan bag. In fact, we’re willing to say every wardrobe needs one. This bucket bag, by Scottish designer C.Nicol, plays with form in a modern way, while appealing to any traditionalists’ heart.


FOR AT-HOME CHEFS | Mildred’s Easy Vegan, £26, Oliver Bonas

Bringing together the tastiest dishes from beloved vegan London chain Mildred’s, this cookbook appeals to the most staunch meat lovers, experienced vegans and flexitarians alike. Perfect for those looking to try out Veganuary.


FOR THE BEAUTY OBSESSED | Posh Lipstick in Pop, £37, Victoria Beckham Beauty

2023 was the year of the Beckhams following the release of their instant-hit Netflix series. But away from the runway and the small screen, Victoria has been making a name for herself in the world of cosmetics; namely her eyeshadows and liners that make up her signature smokey eye look. We also love this lipstick – slimline enough to tuck into pockets and clutch bags this party season, and the perfect shade of berry red.


FOR MINIMALISTS  | Scrunch Gold Vermeil Earrings, £350, Completed Works

Luxury gifts for her and him

An actual hair scrunchie was used in the design process of these earrings to create the unique pattern and texture. Arty people in your life will love.


FOR HOMEBODIES  | Slippers, £79, Whistles

Give your loved ones the gift of ultimate comfort with these slip-on hugs-for-your-feet. Made from responsibly-sourced sheepskin leather on the outside and inside, they’re a certified essential for winter.


FOR JEWELLERY MAGPIES  | Millenia Bracelet, £230, Swarovski 

Gold and green should always be seen; especially in Swarovski bracelet form. The vibrant green gemstones will add a suitably festive bit of sparkle to your own, or a loved one’s, look.


FOR LUXURY SCENT LOVERS | Tom Ford Cafe Rose, £106, Space NK

Former fashion designer Tom Ford has gained a cult following in recent years for his collection of chic and sexy fragrances. Cafe Rose is a warm and spicy parfum, boasting Turkish rose, cardamom and patchouli in its scent profile. A perfect bougie stocking filler.

Scandi brand Ganni have committed to phasing out all use of virgin leather by the end of 2023 and are re-focusing on products utilising recycled leather, as evidenced with this funky Bou Bag. The wrap handle and unique shape will add interest to an outfit, while the shoulder strap ensures practicality. Style and sustainability. Tick, tick.


FOR A BIG STATEMENT | Cartier Panthère de Cartier Watch, £3,950, Laings

For a super luxe gift, you can’t go wrong with a classic Cartier Panthere from Scottish jewellers and watch brand, Laings. The design, launched in 1983, gained a cult celebrity following with stars like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow sporting the iconic timepiece. It comes in gold, steel and mixed metal, and has a decidedly vintage feel to it with its chainlink strap and square face.


FOR THE WELL-DRESSED | Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater in Dark Mole, £165, Other Stories

FOR THE FRAGRANCE OBSESSED | Firewater Fragrance, £84, Jorum Studio

We don’t think we can say it any better than someone who left this review on Jorum Studio’s website: “When I say this scent is amazing, I mean that it smells exactly like a late summer night. Nothing about it smells synthetic and it’s a perfectly romantic scent for anyone adventurous. Just a stunning scent, well blended, refreshing, bright— and that kelp note? Blissful.”
