Dear Member,
Before we head into what is often referred to as “the most wonderful time of the year”, we must first wade through the drudgery that is planning and executing the perfect gift. To ease your worries, we have taken it upon ourselves to compile gifts for all types of members, from those who have everything to those who can never have enough.
No one really needs more stuff, however, the artfully selected, thoughtfully acquired and lovely little items are the exception to the rule. We would be happy to find any of these under the tree, and hope our archetypal selections make present buying that much easier for all our members.
THE GIFT GUIDE
Their door is always open, and brimming with artsy little nic-nacs, the delicious scent of something baking in the oven and they live vicariously through a mixture of Ina Garten, Alison Roman and a dash of Nigella Lawson throughout the festive season. These are the little things we know they’d love.

For the forever traveller. They spend more time at the airport than their expensive W1 flat.
