Some people on your list deserve a proper present. The kind they'll wear every week, reach for every morning and think of you when they do.
This is my edit of the gifts I'd most love to unwrap myself, all £60 or under. It includes our all-time bestselling kimono, the necklace I can't keep on the shelf and the pyjamas I'd live in all winter if I could.
UK delivery is free on orders over £60, so add a card or a little stocking filler and it's on us.
For slow mornings and Christmas Day
Our cotton kimonos and pyjamas are made in small batches in India from 100% cotton. They're soft, breathable and printed in colours that make getting up a bit easier.
Green Botanical Cotton Kimono, £45 (calf length) or £39 (knee length)
Our all-time bestseller, and the one I'd pick if I could only have one. Tropical birds and leaves on a deep green background, with fuchsia highlights and contrast piping. It has deep pockets, a tie belt and fits UK 8–16.
Yellow Tiger Stripe Cotton Kimono, £45 (calf length) or £39 (knee length)
For the colour lover. A tiger print on sunshine yellow, with a striped collar, cuffs and belt. It's impossible to feel gloomy in this one, even in January.
Pink Paisley Cotton Pyjamas, £55
This print was such a hit as a shorts set that we've made it into long pyjamas for winter. Dusty pink with a bold paisley and floral print in rust, teal, ochre and sky blue. It has pale blue piping, a notch collar and pearly buttons, and comes in sizes XS–XXL (UK 6–18).
Woodland Whimsy Cotton Pyjamas, £55
Our festive pick. Foxes, hares and owls wander among pine trees and toadstools on a forest-green background, finished with cream piping. They come in a matching fabric bag, so they're practically wrapped already.
For the one who loves a statement
Livia Petal Necklace by Big Metal London, £26
This is the necklace I can't keep on the shelf. It's a modern take on the classic coin necklace, with sculpted petal-shaped discs that catch the light every time she moves. It comes in gold or silver, and it's handmade from nickel-free, hypoallergenic brass. It looks far more expensive than it is, and it's perfect for Christmas parties and New Year's Eve.
Something to wear
Ellis Jumper and Scarf by Tilley & Grace, £60
A soft navy jumper and matching scarf, sold together as a set. It's the easiest clothing gift there is: no outfit to plan, and it already looks put together straight out of the box.
Susie Berry Ruffle Blouse, £49
Rich berry red is the colour of the season, and this blouse makes the most of it. It's soft, fluid viscose with a V-neck and cascading ruffles across the shoulders and sleeves. Wear it with jeans and boots for the day, or tailored trousers and heels for Christmas drinks. It comes in S (UK 8–10), M (12–14) and L (16–18).
Fleece-Lined Wristwarmers, £23
The Echo Stripe design comes in blue, black and white, which just happen to be Bath Rugby colours. They're perfect for Saturdays at the Rec, keeping hands warm while leaving fingers free for a hot drink. They're fair trade, handmade in the Himalayas from pure wool, and fully fleece-lined. There are only two pairs left.
A little ray of sunshine, whatever the weather. It's soft burnt-orange cotton with a small embroidered yellow sun, and a popper at the back so it works with a ponytail. It's one size, so there's no guessing, and it's ideal for dog walks and bad hair days.
For the one who deserves some pampering
UpCircle Peptide Face Serum, £24.99
UpCircle is the UK's leading upcycled beauty brand, making skincare from natural ingredients that would otherwise go to waste. This serum combines peptides and niacinamide with upcycled custard apple to help skin look smoother, firmer and more even. It's vegan and cruelty-free, and it comes in a refillable glass bottle. It's a lovely treat that feels genuinely thoughtful.
Dilo Travel Perfume, £32, and Incense Cones, £22
Dilo is a cult fragrance house from Philadelphia, and we're thrilled to have it in Bath. Choose from three scents in their Elsewhere collection: Desert Kush, Cactus Flower and Hinoki Sesame. The 15ml travel spray slips into any handbag, and the incense cones fill a whole room with the same scent. Buy one of each in the same scent for a really special present.
Come and see them in person
The kimonos and PJs really are best seen up close, so if you're in Bath, come and find us at 3 Abbeygate Street. We'll help with sizes and wrap everything up for you.
