GIFTING: THE UPGRADE
Back to basics, but better
Words by Bridget Barnett
When it comes to gift giving, everyday necessities are always in season. And with all the time spent inside this year, it’s safe to assume that these much-loved staples are due for an update or replacement. Here, we round up the 2.0 alternatives that double as super satisfying surprises.
Replace their bar of soap with…Dior Sauvage Shower Gel
The art of sudsing up: if they don’t know about it, make a welcome introduction. While we still appreciate old school bars in all their slippery, crumbly glory, Dior Sauvage will leave a heavenly fresh and woody trail in its wake.
Replace their headphones with… TrueConnect 2 Wireless Earbuds
For those who are still living back in 2003 and blissfully unaware of wireless, a wire-free Bluetooth upgrade is truly life-changing. Once they’ve cut the cord, there will be no looking back.
Replace their everyday tote with… Jil Sander Logo Print Canvas Tote Bag
There are tote bags, and then there are tote bags. Faultless and functional, this effortless sac is the latter.
Replace their woolen scarf with… Johnstons of Elgin Plain Fringe Cashmere Scarf
At this time of year, cosy layers become part of the everyday arsenal for many. This impossibly soft cashmere number has been woven by hand-comb in a neutral block colour, crafted to last and perfectly practical.
Replace their card holder with… Globe-Trotter Card Holder
Leather accessories are destined to age gracefully where the material is high-quality. This timeless, buttery handbag or pocket companion fits the bill.
