From Knitwear to Candles: 21 Timeless Gifts I'd Love to Open Myself This Year

Christmas is my favourite time of year. From the decorations adorning streets and windows to time spent with friends and family, it really is the best way to round off the year. But we all know that in the lead-up to the festive season, there's plenty to prepare, like food shops, drinks parties and of course, gifting. Despite the joy of giving, finding that special something for the people you care about can feel like a mammoth task. At this point in December, you might find that there are a few (or many) names left on your list to find that perfect present for, and it can be easy to fall into panic mode and end up resorting to novelty or last-minute gifts that become obsolete almost as soon as they're unwrapped. I'm here to change all that with one brand that always delivers timeless gifts that they're sure to appreciate now and forever: Ralph Lauren.

This festive season, I'm focused on gifts that will be treasured for years to come, and few brands do timeless gifting quite like Ralph Lauren. With decades of history, the brand is playing on its heritage to offer a sleek selection of gifting options sure to impress even the trickiest person on your list. Timelessness has always been at the heart of Ralph Lauren's pieces, combined with a design edge that has made it a brand beloved by fashion people and those with discerning tastes for years. And with a focus on high-quality fabrics, Ralph Lauren's gifts are sure to be appreciated on Christmas Day and well beyond.

Ralph Lauren does it all—and really well, might I add. We all know the iconic styles that are spotted on the runway that make their way into the most fashionable wardrobes around, and for gifting season, I've selected some of the chic knits and standout pieces that are sure to impress your most stylish giftees. Alongside, the brand's repertoire has plenty of impressive facets. Accessories are another aspect that Ralph Lauren excels in, from the iconic Polo ID shoulder bag (yes, it's on my wish list) to soft leather gloves, to name but a few. For those seeking a cosy Christmas, elevate their downtime with silk sleepwear sets and mood-setting candles for a quiet night in. There's plenty more to uncover, from homeware to travel, so keep scrolling to explore the gorgeous, thoughtful gifts your friends and family will be delighted to unwrap this festive season.
