Notes on a few of these
Jewellery (1). Pick something that isn't a heart, a star or her initial — pick something that suits her, from an independent rather than a high-street brand.
Fragrance (3). An hour-long appointment guiding her through fifteen scents ends with a bottle of whatever moves her — the experience is half the gift.
Vintage Hermès (9). A vintage carré from the 70s or 80s carries a colour, weight and print that current-season scarves don't quite match. She'll wear it, then eventually frame it.
The smallest thing (17). A single book she mentioned wanting, a cake from one bakery, a record she lost — proof that you were listening in October. Wrap it beautifully and give it last.
The wrapping
For her, the wrapping is part of the gift: heavy paper, real silk ribbon, a sprig of fresh herb or eucalyptus, a handwritten tag in ink rather than biro. Set it under a tree lit with warm white lights, in a room with low candles, in a house that glows from the front door before she even sees what's inside.
That front-door glow is the part we help with.
