Whether it’s something small, like one of Diptyque’s mini candles, or something that completely transforms a room, like a desk from Armani/Casa, interiors gifts always go down well. The only challenge is making sure that they fit in with your loved one’s space – are they a minimalist or does more really mean more in their home?
If it’s the latter, then take note of the bright patterns on Dolce & Gabbana’s cushion and limited-edition panettone box. They’ll love anything from Fiona Finds too – this heart-shaped cup and saucer set is sure to elicit a smile, and why not accompany it with coffee beans from The Roasting Party? Also from Pavilion Road, Ottolenghi’s Simple hamper comes with a cookbook and all the condiments they’ll need to get started in the kitchen. You’ll find a wealth of well-made home and kitchenware at David Mellor on Sloane Square – we like this Aalto vase in particular.
Head to Soho Home for Lucy Mahon’s playful print. It’s great for a home bar, as are these elegant bottle stoppers – try Mother Vine for a delicious wine to go with them. Elsewhere, Olivia von Halle’s men’s and women’s pyjamas are both sumptuously elegant, and the same goes for Brunello Cucinelli’s plush cushion.
Other cosy gifts include a candle and lantern from the newly opened Diptyque store, and Louis Vuitton’s monogrammed blanket, which is perfect for curling up under to read Anya Hindmarch’s book, If in Doubt, Wash Your Hair.
