PAVEL
DAILY PAPER BLACK ESHIELD T-SHIRT – £44 / US$59 (APPROX.)
It’s hard enough to buy gifts for someone you know well, but buying something for someone you don’t know that well (which often happens with Secret Santa) makes life even harder. One thing no one can ever go wrong with is a nice black t-shirt. This Daily Paper one is the perfect black tee, high quality, nice logo, good price – I’m sold.
HUMAN RACE RICE POWDER CLEANER – £35 / US$47 (APPROX.)
Skincare is always an easy gift, but don’t be lazy and get a drugstore gift pack. Pharrell’s Human Race products are the ultimate gift for anyone that cares about their skin and how their toiletry shelves in their bathroom look. Don’t @ me.
COMME DES GARÇONS MACBOOK AIR 11” CASE WALLET – £39 / US$52 (APPROX.)
Nothing like going to a meeting and getting your laptop out of a nice case.
24BOTTLES CLIMA 50 STAINLESS STEEL BOTTLE – £46 / US$61 (APPROX.)
Water bottles are an everyday essential now – got to save the planet. This is a gift that will definitely be used.
SOPHIE
JAMIE XX IN COLOUR VINYL LP – £19.99 / US$27 (APPROX.)
A Secret Santa gift no one can be disappointed about. And if you’re not sure if they own a record player, choose a vinyl that has strong album art to be used as home decor. There you go, two presents in one.
HAY COLOUR CRATE – £11.00 / US$15
Depending on your spending limit, Hay crates look great solo and stacked and come in loads of different colours. Everyone has that one draw of cr*p they don’t know what to do with, so now you can stick it in a crate and make it look cool.
KNITTED CASHMERE HOOD – £40 / US$55
Hoods are big this season, for practicality and comfort. So give the gift of cashmere and your Secret Santa will love you forever.
APPLE AIRTAG – £29 / US$29
For the friends that are always losing sh*t (speaking for myself) this gift is for you. One only costs under £30 so if you have any money left over you can buy a case for it too.
MALIN+GOETZ SCENTED CANDLE 260G CANNABIS – £44 / US$55
Everyone loves a boujee candle for Christmas, the kind you use as an ornament and only burn if the queen comes round for tea. This one might not be royalty appropriate, but are you not curious how nice this will smell? ‘Cos I sure am.
SAM
OFF-WHITE BROWN METEOR NOTEPAD – £35 / US$45 (APPROX.)
Not entirely sure about the practicality of a notebook with holes in it (no offence Virgil) but fashion before practicality i suppose – i’d be happy with an OFF WHITE notebook for xmas, wouldn’t you?

I mean, who doesn’t need a new mug? This mug from Goodhood is the perfect gift for any of your coffee-loving friends.

PRADA CATWALK THE COMPLETE COLLECTIONS – £35 / US$45 (APPROX.)
Honestly if I bought this i’m not sure i’d be able to give it away… But this is a perfect addition to anybody’s coffee table, bookshelf, bedside table – you name it.
STELLA
JACQUEMUS ‘IMAGES’ – £30 / US$40 (APPROX.)
Bored of being shown digital camera rolls? The only thing in the Secret Santa budget from Jacquemus, but it’s a good one – a hardback collection of images from Simon Porte Jacquemus’ very own camera roll.
STUSSY 8 BALL CANDLE – £30 / US$40 (APPROX.)
Stüssy have delivered for Christmas this year, tapping into nostalgia with this magic-8-ball inspired candle. (Wax) drip is forever.
