We drop some not-so-subtle hints about what we’re hoping to receive this year
The AnOther team shares the gifts they are dreaming of finding under the tree – from a jumbo-sized Diptyque candle and unique ceramics by Steve Harrison, to toasty Loewe slippers and florals from Sage London.
Completedworks
Ellie Robertson, photographic editor: Gold Vermeil Earrings. “There’s nothing more exciting than receiving jewellery on Christmas Day, for some reason it just feels more special than any other day of the year. Completedworks is consistently one of my favourite brands for unusual yet timeless pieces and I love that these asymmetric earrings almost look like curling ribbon, making them feel extra festive. Here’s hoping they’re in my stocking.”
Kiko Kostadinov x Asics
Isabella Kavanagh, fashion assistant: Asics Gel-quantum Levitrack™ 001. “Kiko’s collaborations with Asics are always great. This is another must have design.”
Diptyque
Sophie Bew, editor: Amber Interior and Exterior Candle, Limited Edition, 1.5kg. “Forget stockings, I want this in my fireplace come Christmas morning. It’s so huge you can light it first thing and it will keep things festive and fragrant way into the new year. In my book, oversized = the ultimate luxury.”
Alexander McQueen
George Pistachio, fashion assistant: Alphabet Pendant. “Aside from the obvious visual appeal of the Alexander McQueen alphabet pendants, the narcissist in me would be thrilled to receive a necklace with my name on it for Christmas Day.”
Sage Flowers
Beth Mingay, photographic producer: Sage Flowers Workshop. “Sage Flowers have reopened their floristry workshops, where they teach the basics plus ins and outs of their amazing designs – something to last beyond Christmas and learn new skills to keep your arrangements stunning!”
JW Anderson
Orla Brennan, social media editor: Strawberry Jumper. “I’m obsessed with JW Anderson’s S/S22 collection, which is inspired by experimental dressing in our teenage years. The strawberry knit pieces are the stars of the collection for me.”
Loewe (Slippers)
Katie Shillingford, fashion director: Shearling slippers. “I always need new slippers as my dog loves to eat them!”
Prada
Jordan Duddy, fashion & market coordinator: Napa leather gloves. “Gloves are a classic Christmas gift so why not this Prada pair in napa leather and cashmere.”
Rimowa
Rebecca Perlmutar, fashion & market coordinator: Silver cabin suitcase. “I have lots of overdue travel coming up in the next year and these Rimowa pieces would be lovely travel companions.”
Steve Harrison
Ellie Grace Cumming, fashion director (menswear): Steve Harrison ceramics. “Steve Harrison is an amazing ceramicist who specialises in salt-glaze. His pieces are artisanal and would make the perfect addition to any home. Pottery Heaven!”
Hermès
Susannah Frankel, editor-in-chief: Handbag. “Dream Christmas present. Dream colour. Magical brand.”
Cartier
Alexander Fury, fashion features director: Tank Must watch. “I never wear watches but as I’m perpetually ten minutes late for everything maybe it’s about time to invest in one. For me, the Cartier Tank is the only choice: ironically, a watch that’s timeless. And expensive enough that you’ll (hopefully) never forget it.”
