Christmas Gift Ideas: Personalised Gifts They’ll Treasure

The best Christmas gifts aren’t the ones that are unwrapped and forgotten by New Year. They’re the ones that come out every day: on the commute, on holiday, on a Saturday morning at the market. Here’s how to choose a Christmas gift with real meaning, and make it unmistakably theirs.

How to choose a meaningful Christmas gift

• Think about their year ahead. A new job, a big trip, a new home: choose something for the chapter they’re stepping into.
• Choose something they’ll use every day. A gift that comes along to work or on weekends away keeps the memory of Christmas close all year.
• Make it personal. Their name or initials inside, a lining that means something, a leather colour that suits them.

Christmas gift ideas

For him

A full leather Jack duffel or the lighter canvas and leather Johnny for the weekends away he’s been promising himself, a James laptop satchel for the office, or a leather toiletry bag that will outlast every one he’s owned before.

For her

A roomy Chloe handbag, the Jane for every day, a Julie sling for evenings out, or the Katie canvas tote for everything in between.

For the traveller

The canvas and leather Hold-All or the Andy backpack, finished with a leather Travel Wallet and personalised luggage tags.

Stocking fillers under R1,000

Small, beautifully made pieces that still carry their name: luggage tags from R250, a card slot wallet, a leather and shweshwe sunglasses case or a leather notebook cover.

For your team or clients
