You won’t find us under the mistletoe this festive season, rather, beneath the Christmas tree unwrapping all our presents and scooping out all our stocking stuffers.
We all know that the holidays are the time to give, and honestly there is no greater gift than the ones you’d give yourself. This is the lens that we put over any gift we pick up for our loved ones: would we want it for ourselves? If so, it’s a pretty safe bet that your recipient will love it too.

In our experience, buying for a fashion lover is particularly tough, after all, their personal taste is an important part of who they are. So, what do you buy for the person with exacting taste and preferences? Our best advice is to think outside the box — just because they love fashion, doesn’t mean you need to buy them a fashion gift.
The trick is to ask yourself whether the gift is design-forward. Jewellery, designer card holders, or a pair of trending sneakers are pretty foolproof options. For something a bit left-of-centre, homewares they wouldn’t see in a store, like the Tsu Lange Yor negative space bowl or the Gluggle Jug that’s half practical and half joke gift, will both work well.
If you’re still feeling lost on where to look or how much to spend, know that there are no wrong choices. Head to design-led retailers like Net-A-Porter and Farfetch as a first point of call, and use their curation as inspiration or an easy purchase. Looking further, small local brands will also win points with a fashion-lover, and if all else fails, picking up a small item from a designer (even if that’s a beauty gift) is a good idea, too.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the very best fashion-focused gifts that you can treat you loved ones, or yourself, this season. (No judgement from us.)
