Xmas Gift Guide 2024: dreams, desires, and style under the tree

This Christmas, don’t give things. Give stories, emotions, memories that last forever. We’ll give you some ideas, now it’s up to you

Christmas is always the same story

The lights, the snow (when it comes), the packages piling up under the tree. Everything seems perfect, and yet... there’s always that one gift that makes the difference. The one you don’t expect, that doesn’t remain just an object but becomes a memory.

This year, we decided to write our own Christmas story. A story made of unique pieces, details that speak about the person who will receive them. Because no two gifts are alike, only the intention behind them matters.

For Him: things that last

Some settle for less. And then there are those who recognize the value of things that endure.

A mohair-blend scarf: Loewe or Saint Laurent, depending on how he faces winter. Maybe he’s the type who hides behind an Ami Paris turtleneck or prefers the relaxed charm of a Wales Bonner cardigan. Either way, it will be hard for him to go unnoticed.

Sneakers? Asics makes them vintage, Balenciaga pushes them into the future. He decides which side to take. And then there’s always that detail that makes a difference: a baseball cap or a wool beanie for those who know that style is, above all, an attitude.

For Her: when a gift is more than a gift

There are gifts that last a season. And then there are those that stay, the ones you choose because they tell something about the person receiving them.

Gucci’s crystal-chain pumps: they’re not for everyone, but those who wear them won’t be forgotten. Like Valentino Garavani’s Swarovski-studded mini Locò bag: small, but capable of lighting up an entire room.

Earrings by Miu Miu or Alaïa are tiny details that leave a mark. And if beauty lies in simple things then nothing is better than a For the Little Ones: Magic Still Exists: light it, breathe it, dream it.

For the little ones: magic still exists

Children still know how to be amazed. It takes little: a package to unwrap, a smile, a gesture.

Christmas for them is made of embroidered sweaters by Il Gufo, as soft as a hug. For her, a Gucci tricot dress that looks like it came out of a fairy tale.

It’s cold outside, but with Douuod coats and adidas sneakers, every adventure becomes possible. And if it rains? Burberry rubber boots will turn puddles into lakes waiting to be explored.
