When it comes to the holiday season, there are two types of people: those that have their Christmas shopping list checked off way in advance, and those that are scrambling ’til the turkey is in the oven. I tend to fall into the latter group, but nonetheless, here are some things that I’ve loved over the years. Each would make a worthy present for someone special (or a treat for yourself).

Perfect Moment Ski Suit

Because ski season is upon us, and chic new skiwear is always a welcomed present. I’m loving the sleek and sporty look of ski suits on the slopes right now.

Jo Malone Limited Edition Pine & Eucalyptus Candle

Because no one can ever have too many candles. This one smells exactly like Christmas, so even if you don’t put up a tree this year, your house will still smell just as fresh and festive.

Anya Hindmarch Personalised Leather Goods

Because a touch of personalisation always makes a gift that much better, and Anya Hindmarch takes it up a notch by embossing everything from keepsake boxes to travel accessories with a message in your own handwriting. This is one of my favourite gifts to both give and receive as it always feels so special.

Goyard Monogrammed Pet Carrier

Because your pet companions deserve something special too. This Goyard carrier is not only stylish but also functional and comfortable for your pet to travel in, and it can be monogrammed with their name on it in a variety of colour combinations.

Juniper Books

Because there’s nothing better than a beautiful bookshelf. Juniper books make a great gift for any home as the book spines, when lined up, become a piece of art or imagery. You can also design one-of-a-kind book sets to add to your home library.

Dior Maison Homeware

Because the holidays is all about dining and entertaining. Dior Maison has some of my favourite tableware, glassware and ceramics that are the perfect addition to any holiday table.

Ookonn Round Luggage

Because who says luggage has to be boring? I always get asked about these round suitcases whenever I travel. They are not only super cute, but also incredibly light, sturdy and wheel like a dream. What better way to embark on your next travel adventure!
