Start with who they are, not what they need.
Think about the details: What do they reach for every day? What brings them joy? What colours, eras, or aesthetics do they obsess over? The most thoughtful gifts begin with observation, not obligation.
Prioritise quality over quantity.
One well-crafted, enduring item is more meaningful than a pile of impulse buys. Consider: cashmere that lasts for years, jewellery that becomes an heirloom, meticulously made bags that come with character.
Support sustainability with intention.
Shopping pre-loved extends the life cycle of high-quality pieces while reducing fashion-waste, and that purpose becomes part of the gift itself.
Bags:
For a special gift with lasting impact, a bag is a wonderful present. An oversized tote for your most practical friend, a mini evening bag for the party girl in your life, or splurge on an investment bag for the VIP in your life.
Watches:
Watches are (pardon the pun) a timeless gift. A watch reinforces the idea that time together is important and deserves to be valued. It can be an addition to a collection, or just the start of one. Watches hold their value (or even appreciate with age) become family heirlooms, and open the door to future timepiece-related gifts: interchangeable bands, a display box, cases and watch winders.
Why not add an engraving for an even more personalised touch?
Jewellery is always good idea – it can be worn frequently, or displayed and kept safe for special events. Jewellery is an emotional, nostalgic reminder of a special occasion to be treasured and passed down to future generations.
Remember! Jewellery doesn't have to be expensive to be meaningful.
The gift of a belt, a card holder or a wallet is an excellent way to upgrade or replace something that is both useful and practical with something a little more special.
Every wardrobe needs a scarf – endlessly versatile, you can wear a scarf as a scarf (of course) – or wear as a top, around the waist, as a hair accessory or tie it onto a bag. Whether you opt for a thin twilly (which also looks elegant looped around a wrist), a large, full sized square scarf, or a long rectangular style, the possibilities are endless.
Look for scarves that are 100% silk with hand-stitched rolled edges, or crafted from a high quality textile like merino wool, cotton, cashmere, linen or chiffon.
Contrary to popular belief, a gift card is not impersonal. Rather, it is a gift that keeps on giving. In fact, giving someone the gift of personal choice and the excitement of shopping and choosing something they will cherish is one of the most thoughtful things we can think of.
