How we chose
I've been creating editorial gift guides for the last five years and working in luxury since 2024, giving me a front row seat to the most exciting new launches. These selections are suitable for a range of recipients, from those who live for fashion to the tech-obsessed, and most importantly, for that hard-to-buy-for loved one with exceptional taste and who seems to have it all.
Luxury gifts to treat them to this Christmas

First introduced in the 80s, the Panthère is a signature icon of the House of Cartier, and has been seen on style icons from Princess Diana to Rihanna.

Krug Brut Rosé Champagne in Gift Box
When Champagne is the obvious choice, consider Krug Rosé. It balances bold structure with fresh, bright notes of red fruit and spice, backed by the signature depth and minerality the brand is known for. Founded by Joseph Krug in 1843 and based in Reims, the main city in France's Champagne region, it's one of the famous Champagne houses that formed part of the Grandes marques.

A masterpiece of form and function, the ETO 750 decanter preserves wine for up to 10 days with a patented valve system that extends life without altering flavour.
