It’s not hard to form a wish-list for ourselves, our favourite designers and luxury brands are overflowing with desirable ideas. However poring over each one to find that perfect item that will make your recipient squeal with glee, takes a little longer.
To help you out we’ve collated some of those aforementioned favourites of our own, as well as some fashion and jewellery items that sum up the season’s most wanted trends and styles right now. These picks are sure to be a hit, sitting pretty under your tree.
Clockwise from top L: Rolex Oyster Perpetual Land‑Dweller; Zimmermann Daylight Knot Midi ; DÔEN Coraline Dress; Meadowlark Lucky Clover necklace; Jessica McCormack Asymmetric Emerald-Cut Emerald & Diamond Gypsets; Elle & Riley Cashmere Travel Wrap; Dior Jolie Top Handle Mini Bag; Gucci Bracelet with Stirrup; Hermes Jackie Pumps; Marco Bicego Lunaria Colour 18K Yellow Gold Multi-Strand Tourmaline Earrings with Diamonds
If it’s wow-factor your after, a piece from an iconic luxury houses such as Rolex or Dior will deliver on longevity, staying relevant and reached-for in your recipient’s wardrobe forever.
Feel-good gifts are another sure bet, like any simple and chic styles created with super-soft cashmere. We love Elle & Riley’s cashmere wraps as they can be used in many different occasions, even in the summer months, such as keeping the chill off after dark, or shielding from the air-conditioning on a flight. The best part? You don’t have to guess which size might suit, to gift.

Of course, with many of us seeing warm and sunny weather and looking at holidays sneaking up on the calendar, a gift that makes the most of a summer holiday will no doubt be welcomed, too.
With that in mind, sunglasses, hats, breezy dresses, slides, sarongs and beach bags are all useful additions to select.

If they love playful accessories, seeking out a little bag charm or two from a designer label is a great way to add a little bit of luxe to their life. Most high-end (and some local handbag labels) are offering the as little clips to add to any handbag handle right now, and choosing one that fits with their personality is all part of the fun.

From keep-forever pieces to seasonal bijoux, the lead up to Christmas is a perfect time to gift a piece of shimmer and shine. Coloured semi-precious stones are hugely desirable right now, or go for classic polished gold or silver designed with slightly more sculptural forms.
