With Christmas around the corner, now is the perfect time to shop for a thoughtful present. As even the best gift-givers will know, this isn't always as straight-forward as it should be, plus the hunt for something meaningful can be a time-consuming process. When it comes to gifting luxury items to loved ones, it's best to stick to the classics, but at the same time make sure it’s a truly special item that they wouldn’t usually treat themselves to.
Classic designer handbags, like Saint Laurent's quilted shoulder bag or Prada's suede Arqué design, will be cherished by fashion lovers for years to come, while the discerning beauty enthusiast on your list might appreciate an intricate fragrance from an iconic brand or niche newcomer.
Timeless jewellery that will complement pieces already in her wardrobe is always a safe bet, whether it's a sparkling pendant to elevate an everyday outfit or a solid gold bangle that will really wow. A pair of quality leather gloves ticks both the functional and luxurious boxes, and don't underestimate the allure of cashmere – think cosy crew necks and super soft scarves in neutral shades that will go with everything.
