Whether you work well under pressure or have been searching for the perfect gift for some time, we’ve got you. These last-minute (but no-less-memorable) gifts are sure to delight your nearest and dearest this festive season.

Giving the gift of self-care carries a thoughtful sentiment, so treating someone special to a pair of Olivia von Halle’s slinky silk-satin pajamas is a wise choice. If you’re feeling really generous, pop Le Labo’s Cedre 11 scented candle into their stocking, too – with a deliciously musky aroma and a minimalist design, it’s a chic addition for pampering perfection.

For the fashion lover on your list, a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s cult ‘Hangisimu’ mules will be a joy to unwrap. If you’re not certain on shoe size and don’t want to give the game away by asking, Saint Laurent’s elegant ‘Monogramme’ wallet makes for an equally stylish present.

For someone you’re excited to make plans with in 2023 (whether it’s traveling to far-flung destinations or celebrating a milestone birthday), Smythson’s ‘Wafer’ diary in a cheerful pop of pink symbolizes a significantly apt sentiment.

Finally, a piece of fine jewelry is the ultimate forever piece, so spoiling someone special with Shay’s diamond-encrusted earrings is sure to go down well. While nothing epitomizes timeless devotion quite like Cartier’s classic ‘Tank Française’.

Last-minute they may be, but your lucky giftee will be none the wiser with these thoughtful and indulgent treats.
