COUTURE DIOR CHOKER IN PINK GOLD AND DIAMONDS BY DIOR JOAILLERIE

LOQUET LOCKET
As its name suggests, Loquet makes beautiful keepsake lockets that are entirely customisable. The central piece is a clear crystal face encased in gold (or diamonds, if you’re feeling particularly generous), which you can then fill with a selection of charms and birthstones that mean something to your recipient – from colourful winter blooms to delicate diamond letters. You could even keep adding charms for momentous birthdays or occasions in future, creating a locket that evolves with them.

CLOTHING
BRUNELLO CUCINELLI CARDIGAN
For a gift that sparkles just as much as she does, Brunello Cucinelli’s dégradé embroidery cardigan is impossible to miss. Handmade in the Italian hamlet of Solomeo from a soft mohair and wool blend, it’s adorned with sequins, turning a cosy wardrobe staple into something special.
£6,700; brunellocucinelli.com
SANTONI BURGUNDY SUEDE AND MINK HIGH-HEELED SANDAL
Each pair of Santoni shoes is handmade in the Marche region of Italy; the orange sole is a marker of meticulous craftsmanship. This burgundy pair balances delicate lines (ie the 8.5cm stiletto heel) with rich, tactile materials – including a seriously glam mink-fur strap on the front. Perfect for the person who loves parties – or who turns every hallway into a runway.
£830; santoni.com
ROKSANDA LEONARA TOP
Most people fear an oversized fit, but the style conscious out there know that a shirt of epic proportions can be both versatile and flattering. Roksanda’s gorgeous, oversized silk shirt with an abstract brush-stroke print is the perfect gift for the fashion lover – and is eminently comfortable if they’ve scoffed one too many mince pies.
£695; roksanda.com
HERMÈS A TOUTE ALLURE 90 SCARF
Think that silk scarves are the preserve of octogenarians or members of the British royal family? Think again. For the fashion-savvy lady in your life, an Hermès scarf is about as iconic as it gets – and you don’t need to own a castle in the Scottish Highlands to pull it off. Whether worn as a dapper neckerchief, a durag or headscarf, or even as a tube top, luxe hippy style, the possibilities – and plaudits – are endless.
£470; hermes.com
LORO PIANA DAIANA BEANIE
A chic beanie is always a good go-to gift, and you can’t get much chicer than a beanie by Loro Piana. The brand’s Daiana beanie is the ultimate cool-girl piece; its gentle peak and double-banded crown add an interesting twist to the classic beanie shape. Being Loro Piana, the materials are also top drawer – in this case, Norfolk tweed with freckles of pecan and charcoal.

ACCESSORIES
PRADA PETIT SAC NOIR BUCKET BAG
Nobody does bucket bags like Prada. The brand has quietly endorsed the slouchy shape for a couple of seasons now, with a pair of supple, nylon-rendered bucket bags on the lineup for autumn/winter 2025. For gifting, we love the peony pink one with nappa leather strap, which is tied with a ball-anchored gold chain – a much-needed hit of dopamine that lasts beyond winter’s dark months.
£1,670; prada.com
DOLCE & GABBANA VELVET PASSION OUD DE PARFUM
The beauty obsessive will no doubt have hundreds of perfumes filling up their bathroom cabinets and side table. So, what’s one more? Dolce & Gabbana’s new Velvet Passion Oud is inspired by Sicily and evokes the distinctive mood of an Arabic palace in Palermo – smoky and sensual with touches of passionfruit and rose. Sensational.
£267; dolcegabbana.com
OLIVER PEOPLES 1986C SUNGLASSES
Sunglasses make for a chic and often unexpected gift that’s definitely not just for summer. Handmade in Italy, Oliver Peoples’ 1986C sunnies are bold and stylish – perfect for hitting the slopes or wearing poolside. Brown lenses framed by gold and rich mahogany give vintage charm in spades.
£364; oliverpeoples.com

Compact yet roomy, this handcrafted handbag is sure to turn heads and win brownie points this Christmas.

KAT BURKI GRAND RADIANCE CAPSULE
Let’s face it: you practically need a biochemistry degree to interpret the labels of some skincare products. Or, it turns out, you need nutritionist Kat Burki. Leveraging three decades of research in nutritional biochemistry, she’s created formulas that reset your skin’s health – for good. This ornament contains eight of her most celebrated formulations for skin, scalp and hair in travel-ready sizes – a great gift for a glam girl on the go.
