Christmas is creeping closer, and while you are quietly sorting out everyone else’s gifts, here is a reminder you probably need: you can buy a little treat for yourself, too. A self-gift is part celebration and part maintenance to recognise how hard you’ve worked this year. And who has time to wait and see if Santa gets it right?
This year’s gift guide features some of our favourite must-haves, from new season fashion and accessories to luxurious beauty and fragrance. Trust us, these are things you’ll want to see under your tree this year.
adidas – Superstar
There’s a reason why the adidas Superstar has held its place in fashion history for decades, and the latest release shows why it continues to resonate. Designed originally for basketball and later adopted by global streetwear culture, it is a shoe with genuine heritage. The silhouette is clean, the proportions are timeless and the styling potential is broad. Pair it with structured pieces, relaxed summer outfits or your everyday staples without it ever feeling out of place. The newest campaign highlights the shoe’s enduring cultural momentum, which makes adding a pair to your wardrobe feel like both a style choice and a nod to its legacy.
Aesop – Festive Gift Kits
Aesop’s 2025 Festive Gift Kits are built around a theme, “from our home to yours.” The kits are inspired by the rooms and moods of a miniature house created for the season, each one designed to bring a small moment of pleasure into your routine. Sets such as Party in the Greenhouse and Shower Room Serenades bring together Geranium Leaf body care and Eleos formulations that work beautifully in sequence. The packaging references household objects and is coloured using Le Corbusier’s Architectural Polychromy, giving every box a considered, design-driven feel. The FSC-certified packaging can be reused for small keepsakes.
CAMILLA AND MARC – Spring Summer 25
The Spring Summer 25 collection from CAMILLA AND MARC has a quiet confidence that comes through in its textures, shapes and movement. Inspired by Maya Angelou’s “Phenomenal Woman,” the collection explores strength and softness in equal measure. Sculptural silhouettes echo feathered wings and rising forms, while layered textures reference natural tension and flow. Every detail has a purpose, and each piece carries a sense of presence.
Curve – Linen Column Skirt
Summer staples do not need to be complicated, and the Curve linen column skirt is a great example of something that simply works. The shape is clean, the fit is easy to wear and the fabric keeps things comfortable even on hot days. It slips into your wardrobe without effort and pairs well with tanks, tees or relaxed button-downs. As part of The Warehouse’s Curve collection, it is designed with size inclusivity in mind, which makes it a thoughtful and accessible addition for everyday dressing.
Dyson – Amber Silk Hair Tools
Dyson Beauty welcomes the festive season with Amber Silk, its new limited-edition colourway for summer. The palette blends soft, warm tones inspired by firelight, evening celebrations and the glow of gatherings with friends and whānau. Designed through Dyson’s CMF approach, Amber Silk gives the brand’s cult hair tools a refined, luminous finish while delivering the same high-performance engineering they’re known for. It is a beautiful way to bring a little seasonal luxury to your styling routine.
Elizabeth Arden – White Tea 2 Piece Set
White Tea is a scent people often describe as calming, clean and effortless, which makes this set easy to enjoy. The Eau de Toilette has a fresh, airy quality and the accompanying body cream adds softness while extending the fragrance without making it heavier. It is a simple pleasure to use morning or night and offers a small reset whenever you need one.
Emma Lewisham x Judy Millar – The Essentials Holiday Set
The Essentials Holiday Set is a beautiful collaboration between Emma Lewisham’s skincare and New Zealand artist Judy Millar, creating something both functional and visually appealing. The set contains seven minis, including serums, creams, a cleanser, and an exfoliant, giving you a complete introduction to the brand. The outer packaging carries Millar’s expressive abstract work, making the set feel special even before you try the products. Update your skincare routine while appreciating a piece of local artistry.
Hydro Flask – Micro Hydro Bottle
The Micro Hydro bottle adds a small touch of convenience to your day. It is insulated, lightweight and sized to slip easily into a tote or crossbody bag. It works well for short outings or moments when you want a cool sip without carrying a full-size bottle. Seasonal colours such as Sandpiper, Beachplum and Nectar Orange give it a fresh visual appeal that fits into summer wardrobes and day bags effortlessly.
Kathryn Wilson – Summer 25 Footwear
Kathryn Wilson’s Summer 25 collection brings colour and character into summer footwear in a way that feels upbeat and modern. Expect soft pastels, citrus tones and silhouettes that span from easy weekend sandals to more structured pieces. The designs have enough personality to stand out but still pair well with everyday dressing. It is an easy way to change the energy of your outfits for the season.
Living & Co Karanga Ink – Wall Art Plaque
The Karanga Ink wall art plaque brings Pip Hartley’s tā moko artistry into the home in a way that feels both grounding and uplifting. The design carries motifs such as Mangōpare, Niho Taniwha and Purapura Whetū, each symbolising strength, resilience and the threads of connection that run through our lives. The piece has a quiet presence that works in almost any space, adding cultural depth without overwhelming a room. It’s a meaningful way to refresh a corner of your home and a reminder to slow down, reconnect with nature and acknowledge your own journey.
MOSCOT – Eyewear
MOSCOT’s Fall 2025 collection introduces frames that balance contemporary design with the brand’s classic New York heritage. The shapes feel fresh without losing their timeless appeal, and the materials are crafted to last. Whether you lean toward bold acetate or refined metal, these frames elevate your look in a subtle and consistent way. They are a strong investment for anyone wanting eyewear that becomes part of their signature style.
Nocs Provisions – Standard Issue Binoculars
Nocs binoculars bring a sense of exploration into your everyday routines. They are compact, waterproof and designed to handle outdoor conditions, making them ideal for hikes, coastal walks or summer events. The bold colour options give them a fun, stylish edge, and the optics are clear enough to make distant details feel within reach. They are a surprising but genuinely useful addition to a summer kit.
Puig – Jean Paul Gaultier Gaultier Divine Elixir
Gaultier Divine Elixir has a warm, expressive scent that works beautifully for summer evenings or social events. The fragrance sits in a golden bottle that feels celebratory and the scent itself offers depth without being heavy. It is a good choice for someone who wants a perfume that makes an impression without overwhelming the room.
Silk & Steel – Harmony Collection
The Harmony collection from Silk & Steel blends symbolism with craftsmanship in a way that feels personal and stylish. The designs are built around the hexagon, a shape associated with unity and balance, and the gemstones include rose quartz for healing and black spinel for strength. Highlights include Solace pendants, Unity hoops, Trinity stacking rings and Harmony pendants, all handcrafted in sterling silver with rhodium or 14k gold plating. Each piece has presence without being heavy and can be layered or worn alone.
Van Cleef & Arpels – Alhambra
The Alhambra motif remains one of the most recognisable symbols in fine jewellery. Its clover form is simple, elegant and wearable with both casual and more elevated outfits. Choosing one for yourself feels like marking a moment, and it is the kind of piece you integrate into your daily style rather than saving only for special occasions.
When you’re treating yourself at Christmas, choose something that adds comfort, confidence or a small moment of pleasure to your daily life. Let it be a reminder of everything you have earned and what you are capable of carrying into the year ahead.
