Most people are having a hard time fathoming that December is indeed upon us. The years following those pandemic years—a period where there were no markers of time—seem to now be fleeting. But it is that time of year again, and as we all do our best to relish in life’s remarkable ride, if December has crept up on you too, here’s some big suggestions for that someone special, or indeed the most important person of all: you.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, from all of us here at GRAZIA.
Pandora Infinite 14k Gold Lab-grown Diamond Ring, $2000 SHOP NOW and Pandora Nova 14K gold lab-grown diamond earrings, $1300 SHOP NOW
“A few years ago, the notion of gifting a diamond ring for Christmas would’ve been regarded as a Bridget Jones-level of ludicrousness. Thanks to a concerted effort from Pandora, the leading jeweller is democratising precious stones and making diamonds for all—all people and all occasions. This season, we’re gravitating towards this elegant lab-grown diamond 14k gold ring and matching earrings (the latter feature a 0.25 carat round brilliant, excellent cut lab-grown diamond in each earring). Truly remarkable.” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU Petite, $6900 SHOP NOW
“If you’re going to gift somebody a Fendi, make it a classic one. The Peekaboo silhouette has long held the mantle as one of the Italian house’s most coveted, and this one—in a petite size—makes for the perfect gift. It’s dark blue nappa leather is delicately embroidered with crystals and rhinestones—a rather festive touch—and it can be worn by its top handle or as a crossbody. There are two compartments inside as well, separated by a stiff partition, so while it may be small, this Peekaboo can accommodate any date in the diary.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Miu Miu Satin Sandals, $1930 SHOP NOW
“With crystal sequin embellishments rivalling yuletide snow and a gilded bow reminiscent of ribbons ornamenting festive presents, Miu Miu’s satin sandals are the acme of Christmas gifting. Albeit a party shoe, these luxurious mules will deem you the belle of any ball. But, like Emma Corrin in the Maison’s Christmas campaign, we’ll be revoking any conventional requirements of how to style them and making them a mainstay within our wardrobes. Glitzy, glamorous and Gatsby-esque—they perfect for dancing into the roaring 2024.” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL 700ML, SHOP NOW
DRINK RESPONSIBLY. GET THE FACTS: DRINKWISE.ORG.AU
“The pinnacle of the Johnnie Walker stable—and an icon of contemporary luxury—Johnnie Walker Blue Label is handcrafted in small batches using skills and techniques reserved only for whiskies of the highest quality. Indeed, only one in 10,000 casks has the richness, character and exceptional depth of flavour to get the Blue Label. So, to gift one of these to a loved one on Christmas Day is to gift something truly special and rare. And its 19th century style bottle looks beautiful on the bar, too.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director.
Ferragamo Sunglasses, $475 SHOP NOW
“One of the many merits of enjoying Christmas during summer is the suitability of gifting balmy staples. These new-season Ferragamo sunglasses have earned one of the top stops on our wishlist for that exact reason. Imbued with Maximilian Davis’ distinct avant-garde aesthetic, the shape of these sunglasses takes a more sculpted and organic form when compared to traditional oval sunglasses. The Khaki colourway is an understated tapenade hue, too, making them eye-catching and timeless.” – Ava Gilchrist, senior fashion features writer
Gucci GG Cotton Lamé Cardigan, $2150 SHOP NOW
“If you’re after a wardrobe piece that screams luxe, but can still be the gift that keeps on giving, this Gucci monogram cardigan checks all the boxes. Whether you’re taking this from a post-swim lunch or for a night on the town, its slouchy V-neck fit makes for the ideal cosy throw-on all year round. The flecked gold lamé motif contrasted with the deep navy blue makes for an exciting addition to any outfit as well.” – Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
Dior Butterfly Around The World Scarf, $750 SHOP NOW
“Adorned with the L’envol des papillons dévoile nos désirs aux étoiles lettering, a French phrase that translates to “the flight of butterflies reveals our desires to the stars,’ this silk twill double-sided scarf is for the lover of Dior. Its edges are delicately sewn by hand and it can be tied around the neck or worn as a head scarf. For me? This white and gold-tone print will be wrapped around my low ponytail come Christmas Day. How special.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Valentino Embroidered Denim Pants, $7600 SHOP NOW
“Give the best of both worlds with this incredibly flash take on denim by Valentino. We all have a few variations of jeans sitting in the back of our closets, but these are simply unmatched. The flawless high-rise, wide-leg cut and vintage wash of these 100 percent cotton jeans were already enough to get these on our wishlists, but the whimsical dual-tone embroidery that gives the effect you’ve just jumped into a puddle of gold sequins takes these to a whole other level. Your giftee will be utterly speechless.” – Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
Swarovski Matrix Tennis Bracelet, $329 SHOP NOW
“If you’re unsure what to get a loved one, a tennis bracelet is always a winner. Even if they already own the exact piece, a second to stack against the first is always a welcome gift. This round-cut, yellow gold-tone plated bracelet from Swarovski is one of my favourites from their Matrix Tennis collection, a dainty and timeless piece which does a very good job at standing out and fitting in.” – Jessica Bailey, editorial director
Coach High Neck Sequin Dress, $1495 SHOP NOW
“Party season doesn’t end with Christmas, so a dress that can see someone through a bustling social calendar is genius gifting. This elegant high-neck long-sleeve gown is made from 100 percent soft and breathable silk, and is perfect for dance floor action, while the sequin detailing makes for a knock-out ensemble. Best of all, this silhouette can easily go from ‘70s glamour to modern minimalism all with just a simple switch of accessories—making it ideal for re-wearing over and over again.” – Pema Bakshi, fashion features editor
