Harvey Nichols is our go-to for luxury gifting — here's what's on our wish list
All the partywear, beauty and hampers we're coveting from HN this season
With the festive season rapidly approaching, we’re simplifying the shopping list with a curated edit of the best hampers, beauty gifts and partywear, all from Harvey Nichols – our go-to for luxury gifts they’ll actually want.
Whether they’ve been naughty or nice, we’ve found the most luxurious gifts for her and the most coveted designer pieces for him, along with a couple of cheeky items we’ll be treating ourselves to.
This year, Harvey Nichols has partnered with The Design Museum’s The World of Tim Burton exhibition, for a truly fantastical Christmas. Head to the flagship Knightsbridge store where you’ll find the festive windows have been transformed with five sculptures based on Burton’s iconic illustrations.
With a spotlight on his much-loved cinematic characters, a Harvey Nichols Christmas looks every bit as whimsical and mysterious as Tim Burton’s world, making shopping as much of a treat for us as it is for our lucky recipients.

Gifts for her
Whether they love dressing up on Christmas day, or simply refuse to get out of their comfies, Sleeper’s PJs are the answer. The subtle jacquard design, satin trims and elegant frog fastenings are far too gorgeous to be kept hidden away at home, but the elasticated waist means they’re equally suited to a post-dinner snooze. Win, win.
Anyone leaning into cosy season will appreciate UGG’s Tasman slippers. The embroidered trim and flatform design elevate these from the everyday, and the shearling lining is such a treat to sink feet into. Putting out the bins has never looked so chic...
Jewellery is the ultimate failsafe gift, and Rabanne’s statement chunky chain design is the festive finishing touch her wardrobe needs. It's presented in a beautiful branded pouch and box, too.
Perfect for party season, Alaia’s cute cross-body bag nails the brief for your most fashion-y loved one. It’s made from supple leather, has a two-way zipper to keep everything safe, and we’re confident it will be treasured forever.
Gifts for him
Appeal to both his stylish and practical side, with LOEWE’s geometric suede-lined leather tote, which can be folded down when not in use. Granted, it's a real investment, but with room for a laptop and other essentials, this will seriously upgrade his commute.
Team with a fresh white T-shirt and a new pair of kicks, for a masterclass in quiet luxury.
‘Tis the season for stompy shoes, and no one is doing it better than Jacquemus this season. The chunky rubber sole, round toe and lace-up front is spot-on for A/W24, but classic enough that he’ll treasure them forever.
The distinguished gentleman in your life will appreciate being wrapped up in LOEWE’s luxurious wool and mohair logo scarf (who wouldn’t?). It’s a gift he’ll be able to bring out every winter.
Beauty gifts
With warming notes of oakmoss and cedarwood, Creed’s iconic Aventus is a bold, sexy scent, they’ll want to wear year-round.
Expect a rich burst of Calabrian bergamot, zesty lemon and pink pepper, which gives way to a fruitier, floral heart of pineapple, sweet jasmine and patchouli.
Beauty addicts will be thrilled with this duo of Hourglass lip colours. The set contains the brand’s best-selling nude ‘Hourglass Trace 105’, and a new-for-Christmas coral colourway with a pearlescent finish.
The clever 3-in-1 formula promises to hydrate like a lip balm, with the high-shine of a gloss, while plumping lips at the same time. Pucker up.
Expect squeals of delight as they open this gift set containing six of Le Labo’s most loved, unisex scents. It’s packaged in the brand’s understated packaging too, leaving you one less thing to worry about.
Food & wine gifts
There’s nothing quite like a Harvey Nichols hamper for a high-impact gift. We love this selection, which contains all the festive favourites, including mulled wine, Christmas pudding, plus a cute tree decoration containing milk chocolate-covered almonds.
Elsewhere, the cherry and amaretto jam and spicy ginger biscuits were exactly the type of standout gifts that elevate this to special occasion territory for foodies and families alike.
While we can’t promise them a white Christmas, this hamper is the next best thing. Inside, they’ll find everything they could want for a cosy Christmas, including indulgent chocolate and dulce de leche biscuits, fudge and panettone; as well as exquisite bottles of white, red and champers for the indecisive.
We’re strong advocates for keeping a fully stocked bar cart – and never more so during the festive season. This sleek black wicker basket will ensure they get off to a fabulous start, with premium spirits and mixers to shake, muddle and slurp.
All that bartending is thirsty work, so they’ll also find a selection of salty snacks to serve alongside. Cheers!
