    £220 AT PENHALIGONS

    My family has always gifted Penhaligons at Christmas - from the candles, to leather makeup bags, to perfume. It's Luna scent is one of my absolute favourite perfumes right now, and I would love to find this gift set under the tree.

    Chunky Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper

    COS
    Chunky Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper

    £110
    £110 AT MON POTE

    Downtown Shearling Knee-High Boots Black/beige

    Toteme
    Downtown Shearling Knee-High Boots
    £950
    £950 AT TOTEME

    Staying warm is always a priority and sometimes that be a challenge when wanting to look polished and smart. These Toteme shearling lined boots are everything I need to navigate chillier months without compromising on style - and they'll work with dresses and leggings alike.

    Currentbody Skin Led Light Therapy Mask: Series 2 | Red Light Led Face Mask for Advanced Anti-Ageing | Red, Near-Infrared and Deep Near-Infrared Wavelengths for Wrinkle Reduction

    CurrentBody
    Currentbody Skin Led Light Therapy Mask: Series 2
    £400
    £399 AT AMAZON

    I have major FOMO about the Current Body LED masks, and juggling a busy job and family life with a little one means it time to take a little extra care of my skin. I've heard incredible things so I hope Santa gets my wish list.

    Soho Notebook in Panama

    Smythson
    Soho Notebook in Panama
    £210
    £210 AT SMYTHSON

    Is it even Christmas without Smythson under the tree? This leopard print notebook will bring a little joy to my working day.

    Clementina Jackson, Fashion Editor

    Chubby Rhodium-Plated 14-Karat Gold and Diamond Hoop Earrings

    LUCY DELIUS
    Chubby Rhodium-Plated 14-Karat Gold and Diamond Hoop Earrings
    £2000
    £2,000 AT NET-A-PORTER

    I’ve been dealing with a full-blown Lucy Delius obsession ever since discovering her jewellery earlier this year. In an ideal world, I’d be fully frosted in her fabulous pieces—but more realistically, I’d kick off my collection with these cognac diamond hoops.

    Prada Bonnie Medium Printed Leather Handbag

    Prada
    Prada Bonnie Medium Printed Leather Handbag
    £2600
    £2,600 AT PRADA

    Leopard print, pony-hair, Prada… This is quite literally my dream handbag, and one that I know I’d love and wear forever.

    Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Second Skin 750ml

    RUINART
    Blanc De Blancs Second Skin
    £100
    £100 AT SELFRIDGES

    We’re not even halfway through December, and my usually healthy stocks of Champagne are already severely depleted. I’d love to receive a bottle (or six) of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs to start the new year strong—and as I mean to go on.

    Cashmere Radiate Jacket - Black

    Alo Yoga
    Cashmere Radiate Jacket
    £578
    SHOP NOW

    I love Alo Yoga and I love cashmere, so this decadently chunky jacket from the brand's luxurious new Atelier collection is a no-brainer gift for me.

    saint laurent black sunglasses

    Saint Laurent
    Solace Sunglasses
    £344
    SHOP NOW

    I've had my eye on these epic Saint Laurent sunnies for a few months now, so to find them under the tree would be a real treat.

    Tortoiseshell Lacquer Backgammon Set

    Addison Ross
    Tortoiseshell Lacquer Backgammon Set
    £295
    £295 AT ADDISON ROSS

    I’m a recent convert to backgammon, and it’s since become a permanent fixture in my house on weekends. I’d love to upgrade my rather sad and fiddly travel set to this absolute beauty from Addison Ross. It’ll look so much chicer on my coffee table.

    Sunil Makan, Editor

    Green Check Pleated Kilt Maxi Skirt

    Jacques Marie Mage
    Enzo Square Sunglasses
    £830 AT MYTHERESA

    A good pair of sunnies is a solid option. Jacques Marie Mage makes some truly magnificent pairs. These are not run-of-the-mill glasses: They’re handcrafted in Japan and Italy—so you can expect precision and luxury. They’ve got some really fun and interesting shapes too.

    Weejuns Penny Loafers

    Auralee
    Ribbed-knit Wool Cardigan
    £510 AT MYTHERESA

    Knitwear for Christmas is a no brainer. Luxury knitwear, even more so. Auralee’s elevated and timeless pieces would please even the harshest of critics.

    Gabin Maxi Bag - Smooth Black - Bovine Leather - Sézane

    Even Realities
    G1 Smart Glasses
    £839
    £839 AT SELFRIDGES

    I’m still on my biohacking and tech journey (from the Lumen to the Oura, I have it all). I haven’t quite taken the plunge yet when it comes to specs, so im hoping that this Christmas there is a pair of the Even Realities smart glasses waiting for me. This is the first pair of smart glasses that are actually chic and have integrated tech that you’re actually going to use.

    Spinelli Kilcollin, Enzo Sterling Silver and 18kt Gold Ring With Black Diamonds

    Spinelli Kilcollin
    Enzo Sterling Silver and 18kt Gold Ring With Black Diamonds
    £3,150 AT MYTHRESA

    A close friend of mine has the Nimbus ring and after trying it on recently Spinelli Kilcollin jewellery is all I can think about. I love the black diamonds and mix of metals. Opening this on the big day would literally be the best thing ever.

    fortnumandmason,

    Fortnum And Mason
    Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne
    £219 AT FORTNUM & MASON

    Look, if you’re going to gift champagne. Do it properly.

    Cartier, Santos-Dumont Small 38m 18-Karat Rose Gold, Stainless Steel and Alligator Watch

    Cartier
    Santos-Dumont Small 38m 18-Karat Rose Gold, Stainless Steel and Alligator Watch
    £5,800 AT MR. PORTER

    I’ve long lusted after a classic Tank, but there’s something about the Santos-Dumont that I think is impossibly chic and, honestly, it’s tipped the scale—this is now all I can think of.

    Ralph Lauren, Corduroy Camp Overshirt

    Ralph Lauren
    Corduroy Camp Overshirt
    £285 AT RALPH LAUREN

    Great quality, great colour and one that anyone would love to open on Christmas Day.

    Sofia Piza, Fashion Writer

    Book Box

    Heaven Mayhem
    Book Box
    $75
    £67 AT HEAVEN MAYHEM

    As someone who lives in a small flat, I've learned to really value any incredible homeware pieces that double as storage, and this Heaven Mayhem book box is a dream come true.

    Scarlett 50

    Jimmy Choo
    Scarlett 50
    £1095
    £1,095 AT JIMMY CHOO

    A fashion girl's essential, Jimmy Choo's Scarlett silhouette, is undoubtedly at the top of my investment shoe wish list.

    Burgundy Red Sketchy Texture Printed Scrunchie

    Fat Face
    Burgundy Red Sketchy Texture Printed Scrunchie
    £15
    SHOP NOW

    I rarely have my hair up, but when I do, it must be in a voluminous scrunchie.

    Women's Cashmere Merino V Neck Jumper - Buttermilk - Xs / Buttermilk

    Rise & Fall
    Women's Cashmere Merino V Neck Jumper
    £175
    £175 AT RISE & FALL

    As someone whose birthday also happens to be in December, I'm expecting a lot of presents, and for any loved ones reading this, I will be very upset if this deliciously soft jumper isn't one of them.

    The Midi Stockholm | Hazel Suede & Hazel Smooth | Demellier

    DeMellier
    The Midi Stockholm
    £450
    £450 AT DEMELLIER

    Chic, easy to style, and instantly elevates any look — a suede handbag is always a great investment.

    The Link of Wanderlust Recycled Gold-Plated Cord Necklace

    HOTDOG PETS
    Ceramic Bowl - Red
    £55 AT MUTTS

    Above everything else, as a new dog mum, I truly just want chic pet accessories. These weighted bowls are lifesavers for puppies who love to play with their bowls, as they offer more weight and stability.

    Amelia Yeomans, Junior Shopping Editor

    Leopard Print Loafers

    Massimo Dutti
    Leopard Print Loafers
    £129
    £129 AT MASSIMO DUTTI

    I have had a pair of leopard print pony hair loafers on my wish list for as long as I can remember, but I've been holding out for the perfect ones. Finally, Massimo Dutti has created them. I love the darker pattern and the sleek silhouette that I can tell will never lose its appeal. They come at a brilliant price point for cowhide leather and suede too.

    Clover - Pale Blue Gingham - Xs (uk 6-8)

    If Only If
    Clover
    £105
    £105 AT IF ONLY IF

    The one thing I ask for every Christmas is new pyjamas, and I think I might finally have enough pairs. But that doesn't mean I'm forgoing nightwear altogether—I have fallen in love with If Only If's dresses that could be worn to bed or out and about during the summer months. This little gingham nightie is perfect for layering over jeans too.

    CECILIE BAHNSEN, Ruffled taffeta mini skirt

    CECILIE BAHNSEN
    Ruffled taffeta mini skirt
    £390 (WAS £650) AT NET-A-PORTER

    I've fallen head over heels for this Cecilie Bahnsen skirt. I can't get enough of the puffy silhouette, and the soft baby pink is so beautiful. I love that it has a bit of edge thanks to the utility pockets so it isn't overly feminine, but it's still a statement piece that can be paired with any basic and look incredible. Paired with a cashmere knit and some boots, it fits the bill for Christmas Day or NYE too.

    The Patti Coat, Navy

    Peachy Den
    The Patti Coat
    £260
    £260 AT PEACHY DEN

    I lusted after the brown version of this Peachy Den coat when it first launched, but this blue colourway is even better. There's no such thing as too many fur coats IMO, and this is the shorter cut my outerwear wardrobe is missing.

    Loafer Small Suede Shoulder Bag

    JW Anderson
    Loafer Small Suede Shoulder Bag
    £1345
    £1,345 AT MYTHERESA

    If money was no object, the JW Anderson loafer bag would be my number one present. I've been lusting after it ever since it launched, and that won't be changing any time soon. It's the ideal everyday size, has two straps for endless versatility, and makes a statement in just the right way.

    Shrimps Double Heart Necklace 18ct Gold Plate

    Daisy London Jewellery
    Shrimps Double Heart Necklace 18ct Gold Plate
    £199
    £199 AT DAISY JEWELLERY

    Another item that's been on my list for a while is this gorgeous Daisy necklace - it's just the right size for everyday wear and perfect for stacking with my other necklaces. Plus, I love the different messages you can choose from and the cool yet classic look it gives.
