THE ART OF GIFTING THIS CHRISTMAS: DOS & DON'TS

THE ART OF GIFTING THIS CHRISTMAS: DOS & DON'TS

With Christmas fast approaching, we’ve put together a few of our dos and don’ts for gift giving so you don't go wrong this Christmas...

DOS

  • Buy something timeless and practical
    A piece they’ll take on trips and use for years - A wallet, a travel bag, a passport cover. 

  • Choose good quality over quantity
    One beautiful item is better than several forgettable ones - Quality leather pieces, a quality fountain pen.

  • Gift an accessory, not a statement
    Bags, scarves, gloves -  practical, chic, never intrusive and you don't risk of getting the wrong size.  

  • Think about practicality in their life
    Do they travel lots for weekends away and business trips? Do they need an everyday gym bag or a bag for overnight trips? (We've got you covered for both)

  • Wrap and present it thoughtfully
    Ribbon, paper, handwritten note - the presentation matters.

DON’TS

  • Don’t buy something for the home unless you live there
    Homeware is intimate.
    A candle is safe - Lamps are not.

  • Avoid gifting clothes if you don't know their size and style DON'T guess their size

  • Don’t give a book you wouldn’t read

  • Don’t choose novelty for novelty’s sake
    Avoid buying cheap tat.  Funny wears off fast and clutters the house.  Beautiful lasts and is enjoyed for years to come. 


 The rule is simple:

Pick something they’ll genuinely use,
that will still be beautiful in 5 years time.
