The Foolproof Way to Gift

For everyone on your list.

How is it December? It beats us too. While we can’t turn back time, we can make sure you’re the MVP of the festive season. Abide by this gifting rule, so deceptively simple but scarcely known (it’ll be in The Handbook For Life when someone finally gets around to penning it) — a truly treasured gift should be something the recipient wouldn’t get themselves. BAM! It’s all become so simple!

Find the rule in action below, in all its shoppable glory.

Your Office Kris Kringle
You’ve got a firm budget and formed a common ground at the watercooler. Friendly, yes. High stakes, no. Our advice: make your present relevant with a pen or stationery set that says I-have-my-sh*t-together. It’s not just a pen, it’s the best version of their signature they ever signed. Name the last time you bought yourself a really nice pen? We’ll wait.

Your Other Half
Keep their 2020 look crisp with box-fresh sneakers — ideal for festivals and nights out. From hyper colour Nike Air Max’s to classic adidas Stan Smiths, there’s something for every gal or guy. And we already asked, they’re too busy with your presents to update their sneaker collection. Psst! Let them try them on first in Augmented Reality with our in-app feature, Visualise

Your Brother
Up his getting-ready game with a slick skincare set choc-full with the essentials: moisturiser, shaving foam and cleanser. If his bathroom cabinet is full of supermarket specials, consider this is the gift he doesn't know he needs. As the experts always tell us, skincare regimes are fluid – they can always do with an update.

Your Mum
Whether she’s a jetsetter or annual family holiday traveller, she’s likely been using the same weekender bag for the last 392 trips away. This one from Tommy Hilfiger in quilted black or navy will have her remark things like ‘you shouldn’t have’ and ‘favourite child’. Choose based on her colour scheme (Hint: involves sleuthing).

The Person That Has Everything
