With our 10 suggestions for soft packages to leave under the tree (maybe even for yourself), we hope to make your Christmas shopping that[LASMER] little bit more enjoyable and add an extra dash of warmth and cosiness to the festivities.
‘What should I get them for Christmas?’ is doubtless one of the most common questions we ask ourselves at the beginning of December. Hinting at their stylish and cosy contents, softer packages never fail to pique the interest of us ‘grown-ups’, provided they are carefully chosen with the recipient’s tastes in mind. If asking someone directly what they’d like proves fruitless, figure out what that person enjoys and find a gift that is somehow related. A good rule of thumb is to choose the type of thing people often want, but rarely treat themselves to.
The Cashmere Throw
Cashmere is something of a recurring theme when it comes to gifts people love to receive, being the kind of luxury that people rarely allow themselves, but rarely regret once they’ve made the initial investment. This sumptuous throw, for example, will add a touch of cosy decadence to your sofa, bed, or favourite armchair for years to come.
The Pyjamas
A pair of quality flannel pyjamas might just be the very best way to start your weekend. Wear the set together with a pair of warm and comfortable slippers, or pair the trousers with a simple t-shirt.
The Cashmere Jumper
For our second foray into the world of cashmere, we’ve chosen to focus on the timeless cashmere jumper, one of the most wearable and appreciated gifts you can buy. This navy-blue model with a lightly brushed texture will match effortlessly with the majority of any wardrobe.
The Wool & Cashmere Blazer
A blazer in a wool and cashmere blend is one of the most luxurious things you can wear. This dark grey, houndstooth-patterned model is particularly versatile, but we think it looks best together with a black cashmere jumper and white jeans.
The Overshirt
An overshirt can either add a casual touch to your outfit or lend it an extra dash of elegance. This well-made, beige overshirt can do both, making it a particularly versatile addition to your wardrobe. Wear it indoors as a blazer over a shirt, t-shirt, or knitted jumper.
The Wool Coat
In a navy-blue wool coat, you’re dressed for any occasion. This softly tailored model, with its elegant cut and interesting details, is guaranteed to be highly appreciated for many years to come.
The Wool & Cashmere Scarf
The right scarf not only keeps you warm, but also seriously increases your levels of style. Investing in a wool and cashmere model may seem like considerable investment, but we feel it is well worth it, given it will bring joy and comfort on innumerable dark, winter nights.
The Knitted Gloves
Knitted gloves are an excellent alternative to leather models when the mercury begins to fall, and we’d go so far as to say that grey variants pair well with any colour of outerwear.
The Dressing Gown
Stepping out of a warm shower and into a soft and luxurious dressing gown in thick cotton towelling gives you that hotel feeling from the comfort of your own home. We have chosen a classic, navy-blue model from
Ralph Lauren that will prove a loyal companion for many years to come.
The Slippers
Let’s be honest, slippers are above all functional things, designed to keep your feet warm and cosy at home. Though it’s definitely a plus if they also look good on your bedroom floor when you’re not wearing them! The exceptionally soft and comfortable Boston slipper from
Birkenstock is a truly classic choice.
