The Christmas Gift Guide 2026

Every year I get asked the same thing in the shop: what do I buy for someone who has everything? So here are the things I'd happily give, and just as happily receive. Everything is hand-picked and in stock.

I'll be adding more guides to this page over the coming weeks, so do come back.

For Her

Little luxuries she definitely deserves.

Soft things to wear, small luxuries for the bathroom shelf and a few pieces for the home. The gifts I'd love to unwrap myself.

1. Cashmere & Wool Bandana, Grey, £65. A cosy revival of the classic kerchief, wrapped in a little pouch with instructions on how to tie it.
2. Fern Taylor Checkerboard Rabbit Mug, £43.50. Hand built in South London, using the Japanese Nerikomi technique.
3. Girlfriend Socks, Yellow/Blue, £13.50. Sporty but classic, lovely with clogs or boots.
4. Ribbed Merino Lambswool Beanie, Stoat, £34.95. Knitted at a Scottish mill that's been going since 1845.
5. Aeolis Mastic Hand Cream, £8.95. Rich but sinks in quickly, and small enough for a coat pocket.
6. Gold T-Bar Chain Necklace, £31.50. A fine everyday chain that won't tarnish.
7. Gold Entwined Hoop Earrings, from £23. Simple but detailed gold hoops that go with everything.
8. 2027 Linen Calendar, Les Chaises Rustiques, £37.50. Hang it all year as art, then use it as a tea towel forever more.
9. Nourish Body Oil, £32. Made with beautifully nourishing seaweed foraged on the Isles of Scilly. I've used it religiously for years.
10. Centre Candle, Cedar, £36. Grounding and calm, hand-poured by an aromatherapist in Manchester - a shop bestseller.
11. Aeolis Face & Body Mist, £13.95. A cool spritz of neroli whenever skin needs a lift.
12. Silver Plate, Round, £23. Designed in Japan by Fog Linen Work, a little dish for rings and everyday treasures.

For Him

The hard-to-buy-for.

For the man who says he doesn't need anything. Useful, well-made things he’ll actually use, plus a few small comforts he’d never buy himself.

1. Earl of East Bath Salts, £26. For a proper soak after a long walk or a hard day.
2. Heritage Wool Beanie, Granite Heather, £29.95. 100% wool, knitted in Scotland, made to last.
3. Cottage Socks, Bear, £17.50. Thick, soft and ribbed, made for pairing with boots or padding around the house.
4. Half Glazed Mug, Truffle, £11. An earthy, generously sized "proper cuppa" mug.
5. Sauna, £31. A beautiful book on Finnish sauna culture - inspiration for a home project perhaps?
6. Earl of East Smoke & Musk Incense, £18. Wood smoke and fir, like a cabin in winter.
7. Oyoy Knot Keyring, £13.95. Simple leather that gets better with age.
8. Hammered Tumbler Glass, £7.95. Wonderfully textured glass, perfect for cocktails, beer and a good time with friends.
9. Toyo Toolboxes, from £27.95. Classic Japanese steel boxes, for tools, collections and anything else.
10. Sheep's Milk Honey Hex Soap, £5.95. Made by a family firm in Austria, gentle and long lasting.
11. Brass Incense Stand, £28. Designed in Japan, heavy enough to stay put.
12. Angus Whale Bottle Opener, £39.50. Hand-forged for us, and every batch sells out.

The bigger pieces, for the people who mean the most. Things to keep and treasure, from soft spun wool and luxurious sheepskins to a lamp that becomes the thing a room was waiting for.

1. Sheepskin Extra Long Hot Water Bottle, £78.95. Quite literally like a wonderful cuddle. Wrap around the body and relax.
