The edit: 22 gifts for Christmas 2022

Murdock London is known for its modern classic grooming products and this gem is no exception. Aka ‘The Rugged Adventurer’, the cologne is said to smell like the countryside on a warm, spring day. That means notes of bergamot and clove, underpinned by amber and patchouli. Give it to your own favourite rugged adventurer, and tell them to store it as they would their favourite bottle of single malt.

All will go gooey-eyed over the flash of elegance and glamour that this Patek Philippe watch lends to any outfit. The self-winding, rose-gold timepiece is set with 160 gem diamonds that shimmer around the classic, sunburst dial, catching the light while displaying the date at 6 o’clock (you need your watch to be practical, too). Needless to say, this is a real jaw-dropper. 

Nothing says understated luxury quite like an A.P.C. handbag. The elegant, satchel-style Grace bag features the brand’s characteristic minimalist lines, low-key hardware and butter-soft leather. In other words, it’s the epitome of pared-back, Parisian chic.

This sleek all-in-one machine produces exceptional espresso from bean to cup in under a minute. Simply adjust the grind for perfect extraction and use the steam wand to micro-foam your milk in the special jug. Just don’t let on how easy it is to create that barista-quality cup...

Buy music fiends the quality they’re yearning for with these second-generation AirPods. Launched this autumn, the pods have an upgraded H2 chip that promises 3D sound, smarter noise cancellation and more efficient battery life. If you buy from the Apple website, you can even personalise the case with their initials or favourite emojis.

Streamline your kitchen cookware with the ultra-sleek Always Pan. Its concept is so ingenious, you’ll wonder why it hasn’t been done before: one pan replaces eight traditional pieces of cookware and does pretty much everything (bar the washing up). It also comes in a rainbow of colours, so you can coordinate with your kitchen.

Forget a white Christmas. Make it a splendid one courtesy of London’s legendary Panzer’s Deli. The trademark, glossy green and gold box is stuffed with luxury treats – from Pierre Mignon Champagne to La Molina chocolate, award-winning smoked salmon to sticky toffee pudding. Just be grateful for its generous size, because it’s almost too delicious to share.

The chain link bracelet is a classic for a reason: it instantly upgrades even the simplest outfit. This hollow 14k yellow gold cable version from LA influencer-turned-designer Anine Bing is pleasingly chunky and reassuringly luxurious. Bing specialises in perfect wardrobe essentials – and this bracelet is true to form.

The White Company name is synonymous with everyday sophistication, and these cashmere-rich socks are true to form. Cable knitted in sustainably sourced cloud marl wool, they will make your recipient feel like a million bucks, even when lounging about.

Now this is a serious briefcase upgrade. With its sleek black leather, adjustable shoulder strap (much more modern than a top handle), and signature gold T-clasp, Tom Ford’s messenger bag is as refined and sophisticated as its eponymous designer.

If you’re shopping for the person who has everything, then earmark this professional-grade pizza oven. It bakes pizzas that are so authentic, you could confidently serve them to a native Neapolitan. It also roasts, smokes and steams, turning any garden into an alfresco kitchen. But look lively: it sold out in under eight hours when it first launched.

A baby’s first Christmas is a precious time for all the family, and a moment that you can now commemorate forever with the 2022 collection from Wedgwood. These charming porcelain polar bears come with pink or blue scarves and noses, the birth year inscribed, and a ribbon that reads ‘a magical Wedgwood Christmas’. Cute.

Brilliant at supporting your immune system, Unrooted's baobab-boosted super shots received a Great Taste Award this year. Buy the socialite in your family a party pack of these carbon-neutral energy drinks to help them stay healthy throughout the holidays – or pop one in everyone’s stocking to restore pep for Christmas day?

No stylish home should be without a Vaisselle vase. The cult brand from French designer Léa Zana is inspired by antique ceramics, while each piece is hand painted and crafted in Andalucía. As with all Vaisselle designs, this indigo and lilac Amphora is cheerful, chic, charmingly imperfect – and highly covetable. 

Accessories are one of the best things about wintertime. Just take these Dents driving gloves from Really Wild Clothing, a British brand that bridges town and country styles. Made with hairsheep leather, they’re ultra-smooth, strong and elastic, with a ‘Dents dome’ and single button fastening for a snug fit. Black, red, brown, fuchsia and blue colourways ensure that you can cater for the most discerning of recipients.

Biscuiteers is known for its iced biscuits in collectable tins. Its festive fancies include nutcrackers and snowmen as well as this special box of 16 biscuits that accompany the famous Christmas song. Flavoured with lemon zest and hand-iced by the Biscuiteer team, they’re perfect for multi-generational gatherings and, delivered next day to anywhere in the UK, are also perfect for last-minute panics!

This limited edition, vintage-style Swiss watch is as clever as it is handsome. The bronze design is inspired by a custom motorbike by Meister Engineering, so it certainly has those traditional good looks, but it also holds its own in terms of tech wizardry. It measures heart rate and vehicle speed, and is water resistant up to 100m. Now that’s a timepiece that’s sure to become an heirloom.

No one’s luggage should let them down. Invest in one of these handmade tweed weekend bags from Scotland’s Lovat Mill, which uses the most up-to-date, zero-waste techniques to ensure its products ‒ from scarves to throws and clothing ‒ are sustainable. This handmade bag is one of the highlights, sewn from Ettrick Tweed, British woven military webbing and saddlery leather, and produced in very small batches.

Christmas means family board games for many of us ‒ and if you’re looking for a new one this year, consult Asmodee.co.uk, home of Ticket to Ride, Pandemic and Settlers of Catan. As well as those classics, their new collection includes this particularly intriguing, fast-paced, simultaneous play dice game, Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Merry Madness.
