It’s that time of the year when there’s festive cheer.
But it can also be a demanding period. Gift shopping for your loved ones – and the underlying anxiety of finding the perfect luxury present – can quickly become a chore.
From thoughtful, small luxuries to splash-the-wealth statement gifts, we have taken the hard work out of modern luxury gifting by putting together an ultimate gift guide that will delight your loved ones – from the style savant, to the urban jet setter, and the liqueur connoisseur.
Whether purchasing a present for a family member who deserves something extra special, or seeking an item for that friend with impeccable taste, at the heart of gift-giving is a desire to select thoughtful pieces that will make someone’s life feel a little more decadent. Here, a little inspiration to guide you in the right direction.

Bespoke Monogrammed Linen
Specialists in handmade linens and tableware, Julia B’s logo, “Handmade for Life,” quite deliberately refers not only to the fact that the company’s products are made by hand, but equally that they are made to last a lifetime and beyond, often becoming heirlooms that are passed from generation to generation. Most of the brand’s designs cannot be produced by machine.
