Navigating the many annual gifting occasions for your other half can be challenging – Valentine’s, birthdays and anniversaries all require something slightly different. For Christmas, look for thoughtful items with a touch of romance. 

If you love cooking together, then few kitchen objects are as romantic (or as coveted) as Le Creuset’s cast iron heart dishes, available at Peter Jones. Culinary treats are best when shared, of course, so booking the two of you for a nine-course Omakase experience with an overnight stay at the Beaverbrook Town House will make a memorable gift. Speaking of experiences, what about a night at Chelsea’s famed Royal Court Theatre to watch a groundbreaking new play, or a musical experience at Cadogan Hall? 

If your partner is all business, then something smart will be well-received – we like Louis Vuitton’s moccasins and Cartier’s cufflinks. Jewellery, watches and fragrances are all classic options because they’re filled with thought, so try Boodles, Omega, Cartier, and Chanel for gorgeous options.
