Orange Casentino Wool Half-Zip Fleece, £695 | Drake's

A good fleece is a wardrobe staple for me. I particularly like them in big, bold colours. Drake's uses a gorgeous 16.2oz Florentine Casentino wool for this timeless classic half-zip. It layers up really well, has plenty of thoughtful touches (look at the lovely corduroy trim) and will live in your wardrobe forever.

Thick Silver Bracelet, £530 | All Blues

I picked up the thick silver necklace from these guys in the summer, and it's a great piece. It's got a good heft to it, is super versatile, and makes for a perfect daily driver. 

St John Parfum, £80 | Dulcie

Christmas is a great time to reload on fragrance, and I like this anise-forward number from Dulcie. The whole range is excellent, but I love the St John. 

Flesh, £17.68 | David Szalay

I'm excited to chew on the latest Booker winner after reading David Szalay’s All That Man Is over the summer. A blinding collection of short stories as well as a meditation on masculinity, it was a touching take on subject matter so often dealt with cynically. Szalay managed to swerve any sneer and give a vulnerable, honest, tender humanity to his characters that was really refreshing. Bring on the next one. 

Cold Smoked Trout, £59 | Andrew's Smokehouse

I always associate Christmas with good, cold-smoked fish. You can ditch salmon this year and scoop up a whole side of Andrew's immaculate smoked trout. It's great value, more sustainably sourced and smoked, and utterly delicious. The man himself is also a complete joy.

Double Breasted Wool Coat, £1,539 (was £1,737) | Auralee

I’ve been hunting for the perfect long coat for years, and this one just feels right. Auralee’s tailoring is clean and understated. Clean lines, beautiful fabric and that quiet elegance I’m always drawn to – it’s the kind of piece I know I’d wear nonstop, from winter shoots to Sunday strolls. 

Intrecciato Leather & Suede Gloves, £670 | Bottega Veneta

I’ve reached the age where I want proper gloves, the kind that actually keep me warm but still look amazing. These Bottega ones feel like a grown-up upgrade, and I love the woven texture. They look perfect for icy London mornings when you want to stay warm and look like you actually have your life together.

Acetate Richard Sunglasses, £785 | Jacques Marie Mage

Sunglasses in winter might sound dramatic, but honestly, so am I. I’ve wanted a pair of JMMs for so long. Their frames have this cinematic energy that makes every outfit look more considered, and the emerald lenses here are unreal.

The Renewal Oil, £125 | La Mer

Winter skin needs therapy, and this is basically a luxury therapist in a bottle. My skin gets destroyed every winter because I travel nonstop, so this is my dream splurge. It’s one of those products I always try at airports but never let myself buy.

Berlingot 72H Leather Duffel Bag, £1,560 | Lemaire

I spend half my life living out of a bag, so having one that’s beautiful and functional means everything. This Lemaire duffel has that relaxed, effortless look I love, and it’s spacious enough for my camera gear and all my chaos. It feels like the perfect travel companion for next year.

Tubéreuse Astrale Extrait De Parfum , £205 | Maison Crivelli

I discovered this scent recently and it immediately felt like me in a bottle. It’s warm, soft and slightly mysterious, the kind of fragrance that makes people ask what you’re wearing without it ever feeling too loud. It’s warm, modern and not overly floral, which makes it easy to wear every day. A subtle upgrade to my winter rotation.

Hydrating Eye Patches, £63 | Dior

A brilliant skincare gift, packaged beautifully with the signature luxury of Dior. These are perfect for tired eyes after late-night celebrations.

Paradigme Eau De Parfum, £120 | Prada

A sleek, lacquered black-to-green gradation, the bottle is so elegant that Prada’s Paradigme looks like a luxury statement before you even smell it.

Check Cashmere Scarf, £435 | Burberry

Classic, timeless, soft and warm. Not just stylish, but genuinely great for the cold winter weather.

TSF01 2-Slice Toaster, £189.94 | Smeg

This is a little statement piece for the kitchen counter. It also feels like a grown-up luxe gift – practical but a bit indulgent. 

The Moisturizing Soft Cream, £85 | La Mer

It delivers instant glow and is great for long-term skin repair. For me, it’s a truly special festive splurge.
