Christmas gifting used to be about practicality - a jumper, a watch, something that could survive the January sales. But in 2025, luxury has shifted. It’s no longer just about what’s expensive; it’s about what feels intentional. A well-chosen gift says: I’ve been paying attention. I know what makes you light up. It’s the same reason we linger over Diptyque candles we don’t need and save Loewe soap packaging like art - because good taste is, in itself, an experience.
This year’s Goldfoil Edit isn’t about mass gifting or performative generosity. It’s a love letter to detail - the scent of a room when a candle’s just been lit, the way a handbag ages with you, the quiet thrill of something wrapped too beautifully to open. From tech disguised as jewellery to skincare that borders on alchemy, these are the gifts that define what luxury means now: personal, sensual, and quietly unforgettable.

Luxury, this season, is less about perfection and more about feeling seen. It’s the perfume that recalls a place you’ve never been, the candle that turns your flat into a film set, the skincare you don’t technically need but can’t stop thinking about. Whether you’re spoiling someone else or indulging yourself - and let’s be honest, it’ll be both. These are the things worth wrapping slowly and opening even slower.
