Ah, the one who seemingly has everything and is impossible to shop for. We all know them. The solution here is not to reach straight for the rarest, most luxurious item (although sometimes it is), but instead to put the utmost thought into whatever you do present them with on Christmas Day. 

What about a curated monthly book subscription from John Sandoe Books or a floral subscription from Moyses Stevens? The Hermès 2023 diary makes a useful gift. And all will remind them of you for the whole year ahead. 

Anya Hindmarch’s Walton bag can be personalised with their initials, as can many other items bought on Sloane Street this Christmas – simply enquire in store to find out if a personalisation service is on offer. Other special items include Smythson’s elegant backgammon set and jewellery from Anabela Chan, which comes with excellent sustainability credentials. 

Or how about a spot of pampering? Ushvani has a new offering for the season, and Salon Sloane has a range of indulgent hair treatments. A stay in the Royal Suite at The Cadogan, a Belmond hotel, is another decadent experience that they’ll remember for years to come.

Those who relish culinary treats will appreciate a rare wine from Mother Vine on Pavilion Road, which has something to suit every price point. Consider, too, a meal in the private dining room at legendary Knightsbridge eatery Harry’s Dolce Vita. The Omakase experience at Beaverbrook Town House’s restaurant, The Fuji Grill, is also bound to impress. In fact, the hotel is offering gift vouchers this Christmas, so your recipient can choose from a range of delights. 

Elsewhere in gift cards, why not try Sloane Street’s very own? That way, your loved one can choose from many of the boutiques in the area, including Bottega Veneta, Dior, Cartier and more.
