Not On The High Street
I love this website for all sorts of reasons. It supports small businesses without shop fronts, but also everything is handmade and personal - and I'm pretty sure this will be hanging on my wall for my dog, Hudson, shortly...
We all need to do our bit to help this year and it’s important to me that our family sponsor a guide dog this Christmas. Check out how you could help change someone’s life by sponsoring a puppy...
A great gift is one of a ‘treat’ I think this year more than any.....to book someone a ‘safe’ facial or massage done with Covid-19 regulations. This is my personal favourite ‘go to’ in NYC. They also have the best array of clean and green products EVER. And the good news is that they are now in London too.
And this is my favourite ‘go to’ in LA. Either Lena or Marisol transport to a place of heaven, a chocolate is on your pillow and their own brand cold cream is incredible!
Shameless plugging by me - but as it's my website, my call and even if she wasn’t my daughter I think her clothes, masks and hats are second to none. Made beautifully, all using up cycled fabric, some vintage, all ethical and each item a one off made with love. I challenge you to not find something you like...
Let's retain optimism for 2021....I feel like by manifesting and buying a 2021 diary in a bright colour it might give off the right vibes. This is my favourite UK go-to for all sorts of gifts, not least because of the quality, the amazing jewel colours of leather, but also the gift wrapping...comes in amazing boxes and ribbon..
I am all about jewellery with ‘meaning’ and a four leaf clover in 2020 seems more appropriate than ever. I love this brand's vibe - from stacking rings to bracelets, it's simple, but very chic…
Whenever I am in London my top place to go and have a really good deep dive and find some amazing second hand clothing/bags/shoes is ‘Sign of the Times’ - one of my biggest sadnesses moving to the US was that I couldn’t visit it...but the good news is...they’ve gone online.. so now I can shop!! Incredible stuff.
If all else fails in Covid... chocolate and a chick flick. And a chocolate hamper is something I always dream of. Healthy chocolate (is that really a thing?) but this hamper from Daylesford is full of ethical chocolate - and such a treat. To be honest all of their hampers are amazing and so beautifully packaged.
Pat does such glamour in her makeup and packaging. It always reminds me of my Dad who used to buy my sister and I makeup gift sets at Christmas - and these lip balms would definitely make the perfect stocking fillers...
Something else for stressful times - is a company I came across during lockdown - so clever, such great ingredients.. you fill out what your requirements are and they make you a ‘bespoke’ tin of herbal supplements just for you. Individually wrapped and in the shape of a flower. Doesn’t get much better... They also do an amazing one for immunity..
