Words by Ellie Hibberd


Not sure where to start? Whether it’s to mark Spring Festival with an auspicious gift or celebrate a January birthday, these ideas will really show you’ve done your homework.

For the Style Devotee: Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Bag

Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato weave has become one of the most sought-after signatures for anyone who loves fashion. If it’s not already in her collection, it’s likely on her wishlist. The Campana is an archival shape that’s been recently rereleased, and it’s already tipped to be an It-bag of 2026.

For the Classicist: Max Mara Double-Breasted Coat

The word ‘timeless’ is often overused when it comes to style, but a tailored Max Mara coat is one of those rare few items that is truly perennial. Thanks to its made-in-Italy craftsmanship, wool-and-cashmere quality and flawless cut, it’s a silhouette she’ll love forever. Plus, its deep red hue is perfect for Spring Festival.

For the Homemaker: Loewe Candle

Part home fragrance, part objet d’art, Loewe’s sculptural candles are coveted by interior-design lovers the world over. This metallic gold edition is perfumed with an Earl Grey essence inspired by the tea blend’s herbal, bergamot-infused aromatics.

For the Anglophile: Burberry Wool Scarf

Burberry’s Equestrian Knight motif is an enduring icon of British fashion – and this wool blanket scarf makes double use of it across both faces, emblazoned in XL form. Celebrating Spring Festival? It makes a fitting gift for the Year of the Horse.

For the Magpie: Sophie Bille Brahe Fleur Necklace

If she loves a shot of sparkle, why do half measures? Sophie Bille Brahe’s Fleur necklace boasts an 18-karat gold setting and a cluster of Top Wesselton diamonds, all while maintaining the Scandinavian jeweller’s signature minimalist approach with its stripped-back take on a floral motif.

For Her Scent Wardrobe: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Reflets d’Ambre

Looking for a fragrance that captures her aura? Exclusive to Harrods, the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Reflets d’Ambre eau de parfum has enveloping notes of amber blended with cistus labdanum, vanilla and patchouli, while pink pepper adds subtle spice to create a sultry, sophisticated scent.

For the Hostess: Le Creuset Casserole Dish

If the kitchen is the heart of her home, Le Creuset’s Enamelled Cast Iron Casserole Dish is the ultimate gift. From soup to sourdough, it does it all – and in this Harrods-exclusive olive-green hue, it looks great served straight onto the table.

For Her Self-Care: La Mer Moisturizing Cream Set

Every skincare enthusiast deserves to experience the pleasure of La Mer’s iconic Crème de La Mer Moisturizing Cream. Powered by the brand’s famed Miracle Broth, the rich formula invites her to bookend her day with a moment for herself.

For the Analog Advocate: Harrods Writing Folder

This Harrods leather writing folder makes a sophisticated gift for those who like to put pen to paper. Whether to elevate life admin, stay organised at work or encourage journaling, its compartments for business cards, a pen and an A5 jotter offer a sleek way for her to keep her notes all in one place.

For the Sweet Tooth: Harrods Dark Chocolate Collection
