CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE FOR WOMEN
Did you know that gift-giving is one of the ultimate languages of love? Numerous surveys, based on the five primary languages to express love, conclude that giving gifts is one of the most popular ways to show and receive affection. With the Christmas holidays just around the corner, this language only intensifies. And with it comes the pressure of finding an original Christmas gift for women, whether for a family member or that special someone on your mind.
A good Christmas gift for women goes beyond just the object itself. It’s always more appreciated when it carries a story, an intention, or a special connection between you. This year, our gift collection brings together more unique pieces than ever, ready to be your perfect gift for her. Our selection of brands like Loewe, The Row, Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Celine is something you won’t easily find in one place.
To give you some ideas, we present six categories of perfect Christmas gifts for women. Besides their beauty and exclusivity, the story behind these pieces and your thoughtfulness will give them a unique meaning. We’ll talk about accessories, from fine brooches by top brands to the exquisite essences of premium perfumes.
Designer brooches: a go-to for formal occasions
Brooches from brands like Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, Loewe, and Jil Sander are pieces that instantly elevate any look. Growing more popular in today’s fashion, this accessory is often overlooked despite its enormous potential for elegant women. The sparkle and craftsmanship of the brooches in our selection make them unique pieces. They can be placed on dresses, jackets, shirt collars, or even (in true Miu Miu style) on coats.
Recently, Miu Miu launched a collection featuring dozens of brooches on its garments, creating an illusion of embellishment and intricate embroidery akin to haute couture. Other brands like Loewe and Gucci include brooches featuring their iconic logos and symbols, transforming brand imagery into accessories designed to last a lifetime. The Loewe brooch, often featuring the brand’s emblematic Anagram, is a symbol of minimalism, while Gucci’s brooches are inspired by the celebrated Italian opulence of the brand, adorned with crystals and pearls. This classic accessory brings together the creativity and attention to detail of the finest fashion houses.
Women’s scarves: silk, cotton, and wool
Women’s scarves are another timeless accessory that never goes out of style. Leading brands play with the design of these silk, wool, and cotton pieces, showcasing their textile artistry by transforming them into skirts, tops, and the iconic women’s scarf. One of our specialist brands is Faliero Sarti, a label inspired by the fine arts and natural elements.
A well-chosen scarf as a gift can become an elegant woman’s best ally. Among our top choices, Faliero Sarti, Toteme, Loewe, and Gucci are especially popular.
Toteme scarves are known for their elegance and minimalism. Meanwhile, Gucci and Loewe scarves balance modern design with the rich history of their respective brands. These labels blend exquisite fibres such as silk for summer and cashmere for winter designs.
A woman’s scarf can be styled in countless ways depending on its shape and length. Larger, square scarves can be worn as a sarong, tied like a scarf, spread as a shawl over the shoulders, and styled in many other creative ways. This Christmas gift lets the recipient personalise each look with her own style.
Designer belts: a highlight for any outfit
A designer belt is more than just practical. Beyond its utility, it can serve as a standout accessory that enhances any outfit. A women's belt with a statement buckle can add flair to simpler looks, while a slim belt can highlight the waist on a dress. It all depends on the style of belt chosen and the taste of the recipient.
Our most popular picks include belts from Saint Laurent, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Loewe. The logos and symbols from these houses range from the Anagram to the intrecciato weave and the famous YSL logo. Each speaks for itself, yet for fashion connoisseurs, they’re a clear symbol of appreciation for haute couture. A Gucci belt with the famous “GG” logo or a Prada belt with the brand’s triangular emblem are sure to be favourites.
Our selection also includes belts from brands like Toteme, Isabel Marant, and Miu Miu, all currently enjoying a peak in popularity. Designer belts for women in dark or metallic tones are an original, foolproof gift that makes an excellent wardrobe staple. A well-chosen belt is a much-appreciated Christmas gift.
Designer shoes for women: cliché or the perfect gift?
Far from cliché. As Carrie Bradshaw famously showed, there’s a long-standing relationship between women and the shoes they wear. Giving shoes is a special gesture that signifies both style and confidence. For both men and women, the stride provided by our most treasured shoes empowers us to face the day differently.
Among our most in-demand styles, The Row, Aquazzura, and Miu Miu stand out as season favourites. Their designs are elegant and recognisable, with a contemporary edge that resonates with what women want to wear today.
In our selection, you’ll find every type of shoe, from boots to loafers, sandals to designer trainers. But without a doubt, stilettos and pumps are the most requested during the holiday season. A pair of Prada pumps is an ideal choice, with carefully designed shapes and flawless finishes. Aquazzura pumps are another global phenomenon, worn by European royalty for their elegance and comfort. The Row’s unique shapes and materials have built a loyal clientele for their shoes, while Miu Miu offers fun and luxurious takes that break from the conventional. Remember to select the right size and ensure the style matches her taste.
Women’s designer bags: functional collector’s pieces
If one gift could take the top spot, it would be designer handbags for women. This season, Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and The Row seem to dominate the industry, with iconic models like the Puzzle bag and new favourites like the Andiamo bag. From the avant-garde to the most sophisticated minimalism, any woman would love to receive one of these brands as a gift.
Among the classics, the Loewe Flamenco bag, with its characteristic knotted closure, symbolises the brand’s Spanish craftsmanship. Bottega Veneta offers pieces like the Jodie bag, a statement item that has held its place at the top for several seasons. For those who prefer a more discreet look, The Row has ultra-minimalist models like the Sofia 11 and the Sofia 11.75, along with the famous Margaux, all reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the Olsen sisters. Among our selection, you’ll also find global bestsellers and favourites like Jil Sander, Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Toteme bags.
And before we finish, let’s not forget that the strongest memories are olfactory. Women’s perfumes evoke memories and stories, unforgettable moments translated into molecules that envelop the senses. Diptyque and Escentric Molecules are two of the most coveted names in high perfumery, known for creating and telling stories through unique and captivating aromas.
Diptyque offers a story behind each perfume, with scents inspired by travels to exotic places and sensory experiences. Fragrances like Do Son or Diptyque Orpheon are worldwide favourites in perfumery. Escentric Molecules has developed unique formulas like Molecule 01, a fragrance that reacts uniquely with each person’s skin. Gifting perfume is like gifting an experience. But we’ll explore that in an upcoming feature…
Each of these gift options has been carefully selected, offering timeless pieces with the potential to become lifelong favourites. This Christmas, surprise her with a gift that tells a story and brings joy every time she wears it.
