Gifts worth giving

Thoughtful, stylish, and guaranteed to impress, these are the gifts that say you’ve nailed it.

For the homebody

For the homebody who finds beauty in the everyday ritual, this edit leans into considered design and quiet indulgence. The SMEG 50’s Style Espresso Coffee Machine $1,349 is a countertop icon for the caffeine purist — equal parts performance and nostalgia — while the Casa Blanco Rocco Side Table $2,200 brings a refined marble moment that instantly elevates any space. To scent the room, the MECCA TSU LANGE YOR Oil Burner 1.02kg $90 acts as a sculptural accent as much as a sensory one. Entertaining is made effortlessly chic with the Dinosaur Designs Stone Servers $125, balancing function with form, and for slow, local mornings, the Tanchen Studio 0/0 Bag $75.70 is a relaxed essential, perfect for market runs and coffee in hand.

For the beauty lover

Entering the gloss era, this beauty edit is all about effortless polish and everyday essentials that earn their place on the shelf. The Typebea G4 Hydra-Gloss Treatment Hair Mask $50 delivers high-shine, high-performance hydration, while SIMKA Invisible Facial Fluid SPF50 $65 proves sunscreen can be both protective and chic. In the shower, Mukti Botanique Body Wash $38 creates a considered daily ritual that feels equal parts nourishing and indulgent. For skin that drinks it in, Sero Hydrate Treatment $35 is a universal hydrator that quietly does the heavy lifting. PERDRISÂT Love Bomb $90 leaves a lingering impression long after you’ve left the room, and to finish, Prime Skin Glass Mist 2-In-1 $42 refreshes, sets and brings everything together — glow intact.

For the fashion-obsessed

This accessories edit is all about statement pieces that still feel effortless. The Mountain & Moon Margot Necklace $110 delivers a bold, confident moment at the neckline, while the Friends With Frank The The Duo Racket Tote Large $249 is the oversized, textural carry-all set to dominate the season. For jewellery lovers, the AGMES Becky Cuff $1,600 brings sculptural silver that stands quietly strong, and on the feet, the Christopher Esber Jo Flip Flop $400 nails minimalist, fashion-forward ease. Adding a playful twist, the Lana Wilkinson Charlotte Pump $239.95 channels fairytale energy without the midnight deadline. For travel days, the JULY Checked Expandable Suitcase $445 is a chic upgrade you’ll want to be seen with, and rounding it out, the Oroton Nell Bucket Hat $79 proves a summer staple can still feel considered and cool.

This edit balances cool-girl staples with elevated pieces that feel quietly covetable. This collection brings a refined, design-led touch with the Camargue JACQUEMUS La Casquette Artichaut Cap $240 is the kind of effortless accessory that instantly upgrades any off-duty look. Statement eyewear comes courtesy of the Camargue PORT TANGER
Ghaib Sunglasses $590, delivering architectural lines with serious style credentials. The Mulberry Small Soft Bayswater Bag $2,825 is a forever piece — reserved for someone who’s been very good this year — balanced by the Poppy Lissiman Nana Net Tote $180, which adds a playful edge to everyday carry. Rounding it out, the SIR. Rioja String Triangle Top $120 is summer, sorted.
