Gift season is slowly creeping up and if your love language is not gift giving, this guide is for you. Beyond the standard candles and holiday bundles, or worse, the gift card, we’ve put together items for the fashion-forward crowd, the sneaker head, and the beauty junkie.
Altearah Bio | Parfum De Soin in Red – Vitality
Instead of the usual scented candles, gift a scent that aims to uplift. Both a perfume and a wellness spray, Parfum De Soin is formulated with clove, cedar, and sandalwood, which help to support circulation, sharpen concentration and lift overall drive. Since winters can often come with lazy mornings and reduced focus, this spritz can bring back that vitality while leaving behind a comforting scent trail.
Chattels & More | Gifts That Live On
Whether you’re gifting someone who loves interior design or someone who is in desperate need of it, Chattels & More presents a festive edit to quell both cases. The homegrown brand is all about the balance between fun aesthetics and utility so take your pick from quirky pieces full of charm and fuller in practicality.
Fendi | Baguette® Mini
Who wouldn’t love a Fendi bag under the tree? And festive times call for festive bling and this sequinned Baguette® Mini channels the right holiday vibes. Unlike most mini bags, she can actually fit a lot, making it a thoughtful gift that’s both pretty and practical.
Harrods | The Night Before Christmas Hamper
If you’re adamant about a holiday bundle, then make it count! This hamper by Harrods features a range of comfort snacks that spell out winter warmth and satisfy every sweet tooth. Think gingerbread men, crackers, and of course, hot chocolate!
Juliette Has a Gun | Not An Advent Calendar
For those who like their gifts with a bit of irony, Juliette Has a Gun has released an Advent calendar that’s not exactly an Advent calendar. While the traditional Advent calendar is a countdown to Christmas, this set by Juliette Has a Gun does the opposite. Making you count down from Christmas to New Year’s, you can explore the best of what Juliette Has a Gun offers from one festive holiday to the next.
Malone Souliers | The Art of Evening
You can never have too many shoes and you can never go wrong gifting shoes. Italian footwear brand Malone Souliers expands on this philosophy with its festive edit. Dubbed ‘The Art of Evening’, take your pick between exquisite reds, metallics, and neutrals crafted in velvet, glitter, and lace.
Nike | Form Follows Motion
If you’re looking to gift a sneakerhead without actually gifting them sneakers, then this book by Nike is the ideal gift. More than just a coffee table staple, it explores the design history of Nike, showcasing original design drawings and prototypes of iconic sneaker models. It also features interviews with key figures of the brand and deeper insight that will excite any shoe fanatic.
Pandora | Holiday Charms
If the person you’re gifting has a charm bracelet, then make their day by adding some more! Pandora seasonally releases the cutest charms and the festive season is no different. From sparkly gingerbread men to celestial pieces that can be worn all year round, each piece makes for a thoughtful gift and a memorable keepsake of the holiday.
Parmigiani Fleurier | TONDA PF Minute Rattrapante Arctic Rose
If you gift a timepiece on Christmas, chances are the watch will be used to count down on New Year’s. Beyond sentimental thinking, the latest piece by Parmigiani Fleurier is perfect for the winter weather. Platinum bezel paired with an arctic rose dial, it’s a chic winter hue that exudes coolness.
Ralph Lauren | Polo Bear Cotton-Linen Jumper
Since Christmas time calls out the lovable-ugly jumpers, opt for a standard jumper to gift instead. The Polo Bear by Ralph Lauren is definitely a trendy piece but beyond the trends, it’s simply the cutest knit you can gift. Not only that but the composition of cotton and linen means that it will keep you warm without overheating, which is exactly what we need when dealing with Gulf winters.
