Christmas gifting is never easy – and deciding what you want for yourself can be just as difficult as choosing for your loved ones. So, we have rounded up the desires of team Bazaar to help inspire your Christmas wish-list this festive season.
From embellished knitwear and sparkling earrings to coffee-table books, statement flats and cosy pyjamas, here's what the team is coveting this Christmas, and what we each hope to find underneath the tree.
For more gifting inspiration ahead of the holidays – as well as our recommendations for advent calendars, Christmas candles and the best pieces for party season – head this way for our complete Christmas guide.
"All I want for Christmas is Tiffany’s Bone Cuff, designed in 1970 by the great Elsa Peretti. I love its fluid, organic shape, which still looks chic and contemporary. And, if Father Christmas is feeling very generous, I’ll choose the latest iteration in yellow gold with pave diamonds…"
Lydia Slater, Editor-In-Chief
"Dior’s Columbus bag has been on my mind for months now. From Galliano’s SS02 collection, it encapsulates the boxy aesthetic of the early '00s while feeling perfectly right for now. As I try to resist the pull of the new, instead identifying old pieces I truly love, this little piece of fashion history feels like a worthy investment. Plus, look at the pockets!"
Roberta Schroeder, Senior Ecommerce Editor – Luxury
"I’m a huge Nora Ephron fan – her essays, novels and her films – and I love a gorgeous coffee table book, so this really ticks all my boxes. Would adore to spend my post-Christmas-lunch slump pouring over this."
Marie-Claire Chappet, Acting Commissioning Editor
"The Dior cruise show in Scotland was one of my favourite fashion moments ever – and I’m wild about these punky ballerina flats which accessorised it. They’re chic but pack a whole lot of attitude: a shortcut to effortless cool."
Avril Mair, Luxury Fashion Director
"My mother buys me pyjamas every Christmas, and this year, I've got my eye on this beautiful set from Thierry Colson, which is made from a cotton and silk blend, and features a vintage print."
Amy de Klerk, Fashion Features Editor
"For this year’s wish list, I’m keeping it warm, cosy, and practical. I am absolutely in love with Gigi Hadid’s luxury knitwear brand Guest in Residence. The pieces are designed to last years and get passed down for generations – you can even share with your partner as the designs are unisex. With all the fast-fashion available on the market, it’s nice to invest in some durable, environmentally friendly pieces – something I’m trying to be more conscious of in 2025."
Crystalle Cox, Sittings Editor
"I’m obsessive about skincare and wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of laser treatments – but who has the time? That’s why I really, really want the new Lyma Laser Pro, which is bigger and more powerful than its predecessor, giving all of the impact within 10 minutes of at-home zapping a day."
Avril Mair, Luxury Fashion Director
"I have been on the lookout for a practical coat that I actually want to wear for a while now, and I have definitely found it in Barbour's third collection with Ganni. The two brands – who have teamed up on a capsule of jackets and hats – have nailed chic rainy-day gear, perfect for those weekend dog walks over Christmas and beyond."
Amy de Klerk, Fashion Features Editor
"I have got my eye on these Maison Margiela leather mules, a slightly updated variation on the well-known Tabi style that we’ve seen everywhere across the last season. I’ve heard they are luxuriously comfortable, and this slip-on style provides a sense of ease, which I’m all for. They also effortlessly complement any outfit – both day and night. I want in!"
Crystalle Cox, Sittings Editor
"It isn’t Christmas without a good ol’ knit. I love Soeur – the quality is second-to-none – and this cardigan will stand the test of time. It’ll look just as good over pyjamas as it will layered up for a festive trip to the pub."
Natalie Zannikos, Senior Fashion Coordinator
"I’ll be putting this chic make-up case on my wish list, mostly because I can’t think of a more sophisticated way to get organised next year – and finally put a stop to all those lipsticks endlessly rattling around in my bag."
Katy Young, Group Luxury Beauty Director
"This Simone Rocha cardigan lends itself to the festive season with its crystal appliqué, but it’s a covetable piece that I’d find an excuse to wear all year round."
Hannah Thompson, Multiplatform Writer
"I’m in the market for a new belt, and as someone who wears both silver and gold, this classic black one from The Row ticks every box. An investment nonetheless, but a piece that I’d wear for several Christmases to come, and beyond."
Natalie Zannikos, Senior Fashion Coordinator
"My favourite type of gifts are elevated versions of practical necessities, like a good beauty pouch that can be re-used time and again – especially when it’s as chic as Dior’s gold make-up bag with its charming nod to the house’s star talisman. It is as useful as it is beautiful to carry around for both work and travel. What’s inside is equally luxe and functional. The hand balm is lightweight but nourishing (and again, incredibly chic) while the classic Lip Glow delivers moisture with the subtlest hint of colour. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t be delighted to find this under the tree, myself included."
Medina Azaldin, Beauty Editor – Luxury
"I’m extremely excited about the lineup across the V&A galleries next year – Cartier, Marie-Antoinette, Making Egypt, David Bowie at the storehouse – so nothing could be better than an annual membership, so that I can visit as many times, at any time, for inspiration, history and great storytelling."
