Gifts for Her
Fashion
For the fashionistas in your life, say Merry Christmas in their love language: clothes. From cosy knitwear and winter coats to glitzy party dresses and festive attire, Selfridges stocks more than 300 brands offering every style, pattern, print and silhouette imaginable.
We love Bottega Veneta’s wool jumper with its all-over intarsia pattern and tonal ‘Desert Mel Soapstone’ hue. Its high-neck and relaxed fit will pair perfectly with jeans and boots for chilly winter days. For a little bit of fun, give the gift of a great (and seriously chic) night’s sleep by wrapping up Olivia Von Halle’s Lila pyjamas. Made from 100 per cent silk with a fabulous lobster print, comfort meets eclectic design in this vibrant set.
To have her covered head to toe, quite literally, why not pop a pair of Louboutins under the tree? The Condoroline 100 courts are fit for a fashion queen. Sophisticated and sexy in a red-toned alligator embossed leather and featuring a bevelled heel, she’ll slip into these and embody the fashion maison’s je ne sais quoi in an instant. For a little more va va voom, Jimmy Choo’s Orb 95 velvet sandals will have heads turning – their deep ruby red stilettos with crystal embellishments and dainty heels epitomise festive flirty flair.
Bags
Not all baggage has to be bad. Gift your friends, mothers, sisters and daughters (and maybe yourself, no judgement here) a gorgeous handbag this Christmas and she’ll be strutting her stuff with the chicest shoulder accessory in tow all season long.
Chloé’s mini cross-body bag is the perfect present for the style icon in your life – cute and compact, slick and smart crafted from 100 per cent leather with an adjustable shoulder strap and plenty of pocket, it’ll see them from lunch dates to late-night soirees. Meanwhile, Alaia’s shoulder bag gives the 101 Dalmatians a run for their money with its playful black and white print. With its elongated rectangular silhouette and straps, it’s ideal for those who like something a little extra, jazzing up a monotone outfit in seconds.
Jewellery
Nothing beats a beautiful piece of jewellery if you’re looking for a personal, thoughtful present for someone special. Whether it’s adding sparkle to their neckline, wrists or ears, jewellery is a great option for those who love to glam up in both subtle and striking ways.
For the ultimate gift to take your stocking fillers to the next level, look to Cartier’s brilliant-cut diamond Love bracelet. A firm favourite of the brand since its creation in 1969, it’s made from 18-carat yellow gold and adorned with four diamonds for a simple but classic design. For a dainty, pretty necklace to add to their jewellery box look to Bvlgari’s Diva’s Dream cable chain in 18-carat rose gold with 20 pavé diamonds. Elegance at its finest.
Beauty gifts
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or in the hands of the present giver. Shop Selfridge’s beauty department and you’re guaranteed to have very happy recipients. From fragrances and makeup to skincare and festive gift sets, there’s something for every man and woman.
Spoil them with a special edition Clive Christian scent from the perfumery’s 150th Anniversary collection, exclusive to Selfridges. The Contemporary eau de parfum will have them suitably spritzed in blackberry, sage and violet notes, with undertones of cedarwood and geranium for a devilishly good aroma. Or for another gift of divine scent look to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Absolue Pour Le Matin eau de parfum – herbal citrusy notes with lemon, orange blossom and thyme.
Gifts for him
Often the trickier ones to buy for, finding the right gifts for the men in your life doesn’t need to be a struggle if you hand the task over to Selfridges. Take Dunhill’s oversized knit jumper, made from a super-soft wool and cashmere blend in a lovely blue denim shade – he’ll just love the cosiness and warmth it gives. Ideal for daytime winter frolics or paired with chinos and loafers for smart evenings, this jumper will have your man looking the bee’s knees. He’s in for a real treat with Lemaire’s new season jacket too – espresso-coloured leather with a shearling collar, this timeless design is the gift that keeps on giving – and he’ll be thanking you big time for years to come.
Food gifts
Christmas is the one time of year when most people throw caution to the wind when it comes to food and drink – we’re talking chocolate for breakfast and a few too many pre-5pm tipples. To really indulge, shower your loved ones with an exquisite selection of treats from Selfridges. Its Re-Usable HAY Hamper includes a range of traditional festive treats, such as mini panettone, festive blend coffee and chocolate galore (luxury milk chocolate coins, rich chocolate enrobed caramels, milk chocolate brownie truffles bauble…), while its striped box makes for chic storage once empty. For a festive bottle, put a bow on Selfridges Selection Panettone Liqueur. It’ll go down a treat with sweet-toothed boozers and is brilliant for adding a Christmas twist to your usual espresso martini.
Gifts for kids
There’s no forgetting the little ones with Selfridges’ wonderful kids range. Toys, tick. Sweet treats, double tick. How about a cute but conventional piece of clothing? Moncler’s Amabay jacket will not only keep them warm but make them one of the best-dressed kids around. Cut with a relaxed fit for comfort and featuring a goose down and feather filling, they’ll be snug as a bug and the envy of all their peers in the playground. We also can’t get enough of Gucci’s strawberry print Peter Rabbit hoodie – they’ll love the design, you’ll love how adorably sweet they look!
