Absolutely not dropping any hints here…


This Christmas, give that special woman in your life a gift that combines festive sparkle with timeless luxury. Whether you're shopping for a partner, mother, or best friend, finding that perfect present can feel daunting. This guide is here to help you discover luxurious gifts that not only capture the magic of the season but will also become cherished staples for the months that follow.
For the stylish traveller, the forest green Antler cabin bag is the ultimate combination of function and flair, adding a chic pop of colour to her winter getaways. For the homebody, Sleeper’s bow pyjamas make the ideal luxurious look to dress up or down or you can’t go wrong with a soft pair of cashmere gloves. For fashion lovers, Self Portrait’s embellished brooch will elevate her festive outfits and remain a chic accessory long after the last bauble comes down. And for those who appreciate everyday indulgence, Wiggy Kit’s leopard print velvet coat will keep her wrapped up and feeling glamorous.
These gifts will wow her on Christmas morning but also make thoughtful investments she’ll enjoy through the colder months ahead—bringing joy long after the holiday magic fades.
LUXURY GIFTS FOR HER
Loewe’s Squeeze bag was introduced for Autumn/Winter 2023 but we're still not over it. With timeless appeal and an understated luxury finish, it's the perfect choice for any fashion obsessive.
"I truly don't believe that anything more perfect than this little trinket has ever existed within the perfume space. Just look at it?! So minimal, so chic, so perfect. Over the past year or so I have become a major No 5 person. I appreciate that it is a power perfume that people either love or hate, but in recent months I have been leaning on it more and more to put a pep in my step—and despite it being so iconic, the compliments I have received have been extraordinary. And when the handbag-sized bottle is hanging in this adorable charm? Naturally, you feel on top of the world." - Shannon
Sleeper is known for making loungewear that is just as suited to dressing up for the evening as it is for, well, lounging around in. These chocolate brown linen pyjamas with powder blue bows are calling out to be styled with a pair of chic slingback heels.
Interiors icon Matilda Goad has teamed up with New York based footwear brand Margaux NY to create a capsule of ballet flats in incredible colour combinations.
"Forget a glass bottle, this might just be the smartest room diffuser I've ever seen. At the very centre of this beautiful wooden ball are scented amber crystal, which emit a beautiful spicy scent as the room warms. A piece of fragrance art." Katie
Sustainable diamonds have never been so sexy which is why VRAI is fast-becoming the go-to for sustainably grown with beautiful contemporary designs. And if there is something you have in mind for your loved ones - VRAI's expert teams can create an bespoke piece of jewellery for you in just a few weeks.
"No one does festive candles better than Acqua di Parma—trust me, I've tried them all. Forget gimmicky Christmas-tree scents and sickly-sweet gingerbreads, Acqua di Parma delivers home fragrance that walks the line between cosy festivities and uber-luxe scenting expertly. This particular candle doesn't just look beautiful on the mantelpiece, but it also possesses a candied vanilla aroma that still smells clean, fresh and light on the nose. After being lit for just an hour, you can expect your entire home to be filled with the most comforting, delicious, fresh-gourmand scent." - Shannon
Editor Sunil Makan vowed he'd give up his apple watch in favour of the Oura ring after testing the 3rd generation version earlier this year. The Oura ring 4 is even better with 'smart sensing' for more accurate tracking, a longer battery life and lighter design making it the perfect gift for anyone who wants a chic and easy to wear health tracker.
Shoes sparkly enough to hang directly on the tree? Yes please. These statement heels make the perfect festive footwear so don't be surprised if she slips them on for Christmas day.
"I have had this lip balm on my wishlist for many years, but my obsession really took hold when I was interviewing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley a couple of years ago and she pulled her personalised compact out of her handbag. Not only is the formula really great (something I really need for my grossly chapped lips), but it also looks majorly chic, does it not?" - Shannon
The Aventure top-handle bag has been reimagined from the Miu Miu archives this season. The chocolate brown version is a timeless investment and will make her the ultimate Miu Miu girl.
A cashmere jumper is a go-to Christmas gift, but the added sparkle in this one makes it extra special.
Inspired by rattan luggage from the 1960s, the Aviteur Carry-on features the finest calfskin leather, "silent wheels" that contain a sound-absorbing air chamber for minimal noise disruption, a translucent, buttonless handle (carved out of a solid block of Lucite), is lined with suede-like washable microfibre - and every piece is engraved with its own unique identifying number. This is the ultimate accessory understated luxury travel.
"I cannot wait to clear the top of my chest of drawers in my bedroom and give this stunning fragrance pride of place. I have been waiting all year for a juice to truly knock my socks off (this very rarely happens, let me tell you) and Bottega Veneta's Déjà Minuit has finally done it. I'm a sucker for a white floral and at the heart of this is Jasmine and Orange Flower, but its the spicy cardamon and cinnamon notes mixed with the deepness of patchouli, vetiver and vanilla boubon that seal the deal for me. It's the most interesting and different (in a good way) fragrances I've ever had the pleasure to smell. And it comes with its own base of marble for peak display purposes." Katie
"I'm the first to admit that I am a total snob when it comes to my beauty stash. I find make-up application a chore and therefore really need my products to spark joy if I'm ever going to not resent using them. And that, my friends, means my shallow self responds particularly well to a luxurious make-up bag. Waking up and seeing this Dior cosmetics pouch on my dressing table would be all it takes to make me actually want to delve into it and scribble all over my face with make-up products that make me look somewhat more presentable. It is, in my opinion, the ultimate beauty gift this year." - Shannon
If the bottle wasn't enough to persuade you (just look at her!), then the juice inside most definitely will. The Harmonist creates some of the most beautiful fragrances in the world. With notes of saffron, sandalwood and tonka, this head-turner is a sophisticated take on oud.
