I am so excited for Christmas this year. We’re spending four cosy days with my family, at my parents’ house before hosting everyone on the 26th, and then a big lunch with our extended family on the 27th. My son is now four, which makes Christmas feel extra magical, everything feels more sparkly when seen through his eyes.

As part of a Swedish tradition, we celebrate on the evening of the 24th, and my soon-to-be brother-in-law this year will be tasked with dressing up in a beautiful old Santa outfit and drop the presents at the door. All my son will see (and I still get goosebumps thinking about it) is Santa; walking away into the night, lantern swinging in hand. Pure magic, and something I loved as a child.

So, as the countdown begins, here’s what’s on my Christmas wish list this year…

Citizens of Humanity, Blaine Jeans £320

Citizens of Humanity do the best denims and I am desperate for a new pair. Whether I’m running around with my son, heading out for a walk in the countryside, or dressing up for a festive lunch, jeans are what I always reach for. These would be a true wardrobe staple I can’t live without.

Printworks, Tik Tak Toe £55

 I love everything Printworks does. Their simple, beautiful designs turn even a game of tic-tac-toe into something special. Perfect for slow, cosy afternoons by the fire.

Ayllon, Aurora Pouch £270

I’m obsessed with everything Ayllon does, it’s chic, minimal, and effortlessly elegant. The Aurora Noir is crafted from buttery-soft lambskin with a subtle tassel detail and it’s just the perfect size. It’s timeless, beautifully made, and goes with everything.My ultimate day-to-night bag.

Genus, Japanese Secateurs £80

For my countryside gardening alter ego. These Japanese secateurs are beautifully made. They would make pruning feel almost meditative and are, quite honestly, almost too pretty to use, almost.

With Nothing Underneath, Stow Shirt £160

I adore WNU, their pieces always make me feel effortlessly put-together, even on my most casual days. This Stow Overshirt feels like one of those items I will end up living in for countryside walks, lazy mornings and pub lunches. 

Jimmy Fairly, Elvie Sunglasses £135

I’ve been eyeing these for months. I love how Jimmy Fairly manages to make everything feel so chic and understated. The Elvie frames are simple but stylish, with that subtle French-girl energy I can never resist. Lightweight, comfortable, and timeless. I know I’ll end up wearing them all year round (even in winter, when the sun finally peeks out!).

Lavialla, Box Of Delights Hamper £93.50

This one makes me smile just thinking about it. The Box of Delights from Fattoria La Vialla brings the magic of Italy home with olive oils, handmade pastas, rich sauces, all straight from their family-run farm in Tuscany. It’s my dream dinner in a box. I love the idea of opening it on a cold December night and feeling like I’ve escaped to the Italian countryside, even if it’s just for a meal. Holiday in a box. 

Ostens, Cedarwood Heart Perfume £75

This is my ultimate scent, warm, grounding, and comforting. I’m drawn to fragrances that feel like a mood rather than a statement, and this one is pure calm in a bottle. It reminds me of fresh wood, soft cashmere, and quiet moments by the fire. The kind of scent that lingers on a scarf or jumper and just makes you feel at home.

Our Place, Titanium Cookware Duo £275

I’m a bit obsessed with beautiful cookware, it makes being in the kitchen feel so much more joyful. I’ve had my Always Pan for years, and this new Titanium Pro Duo looks incredible. Sleek, durable, and non-stick (a dream for hosting over Christmas). Definitely on my grown-up wish list as practical, but still very much a treat.

Stories, Oversized Mohair Blend Jumper £119

Every year, I find myself reaching for one cosy jumper that I basically live in all winter, and this is that jumper. Oversized, soft, and just the right amount of slouchy, with a little après-ski vibes. I want it for those in-between days when you’re not sure if it’s still Christmas or already January.

GAIA Skincare, Calming Spa-At-Home £50

This is the perfect gift for those quiet, restorative moments I am craving. This Spa-At-Home set brings the luxury of a spa at home: soothing bath salts, calming body oil, a candle, and a little exfoliating mitt, all wrapped up in GAIA’s calming blend of lavender and chamomile. Perfect for my January evenings of relaxation in the bath while re-watching Gilmore girls.  Just what I need to recharge.
