IT’S HERE!
My annual (maybe the sixth year running?) Christmas Gift Guide to help you out with ideas for the tricky customers in your life. Or, some brilliant, didn’t even know you needed it, ideas for self-gifting. You decide, but either way, you’re welcome.
This year, I’ve kept everything to under a hundred pounds, and everything is still lovely AND luxe, and I would absolutely love to find any of these things under the tree.
So, let’s go!
1. Albamhor Hand Wash - The Fife Arms
Modern or traditional style, it’s surely the most beautiful packaging around, non?
2. Bulgarian Wool Blanket - Toast
I am definitely in hibernation mode, but this beautiful blanket is a keeper!
3. The Cocktail Book - Claridge's*
Cocktail recipes from the masters? Yes please! For every cocktail lover.
4. Bordallo Pinheiro Cake Stand - Matches*
I adore white cabbage ware and cake stands aren’t just for cakes - this would be so pretty as a fruit stand too.
5. Loewe Tomato Leaves Room Spray - Net-a-Porter*
Definitely my favourite scent for the Loewe home fragrance collection and such a lovely gift!
6. Aries No Problemo Scarf - Good Hood
One for the cool kids.
7. San Raphael Wild Flower Platter - Arket*
What’s not to love about a platter in the form of a beautiful flower?
These little lip balms make the BEST personalised gifts, and they’re available in a vast array of colour combinations too. Tres chic.
9. Kochi Metal and Linen Tray - Caravane
Subtle tropical vibes all year round!
10. Small Peggy Dish Astier de Villatte - Liberty*
Small but perfectly formed, and just lovely for rings on the bedside table or bathroom vanity.
11. Panama Serving Spoons - The Conran Shop*
Salad, but make it glam.
12. Best In Show Porcelain Pencil Pot - Liberty*
Dog lover JOY.
13. Everyday Mug in Terra - Monoware
These mugs are the perfect size and shape. They come in three other beautiful neutrals so you can mix and match, or just match.
14. Champagne Butter - Fortnum & Mason*
Obsessed with the idea of this. Don’t think I can wait til Christmas day though! Add one of their silver plated butter knives to this for a really lovely gift for a smidge over £40. Food is always a winner for particularly tricky customers.
I can’t get enough Dishoom chai, it’s absolutely DELISH.
16. Carousel Set with Baies Candle - Diptyque*
No gift guide of mine would be complete without a scented candle, and although I have discovered MANY absolute beauties this year, the most festive award goes to Diptique with their reusable carousel. I might have to self-gift one as I’ve coveted their carousels at Christmas time for years.
17. Comme Des Garçons Zipped Coin Purse - Farfetch*
Iconic design, iconic colour. This one is top of my wish list!
18. Dou Dou Tea Towel - Couverture & The Garb Store
What can I say, I love a linen tea towel, a LOT.
19. Elvis Robertson Shell Plate - Glassette
There’s something irresistible about that opalescent glaze and shape. So beautiful!
20. Bless Cat Print Tote - House of Voltaire
Crazy Cat Lady, but make it fashun.
I LOVE a footed bowl. Brilliant for adding different heights and interest to the worktop. This would be so lovely filled with limes!
22. Lovenskate Make Tea Not Love T-Shirt - Palomino
Always buy your skateboards and skate paraphernalia from actual skaters, ‘kay?
23. Odoriferous Pencils - Buly 1803
Surely THE coolest take on a diffuser, for the person who has everything.
24. Set of Six Bud Vases - Petersham Nurseries
How CUTE would these be dotted along with Christmas table filled with sprigs of greenery? VERY.
25. Seymore Body Wash - Commune
Have I tried it? Erm, no. But does it look great and would I love it? YES.
That’s it folks. Now go forth and shop if you can - the economy needs you!
