This one goes out to the loose-leaf lovers. Organic Black tea flavoured with natural Bergamot gives an authentic Earl Grey taste. £15
The paper alone is enough to incite feelings of choco-lust, but it’s what’s inside that truly counts – meticulously crafted milk and dark chocolate bars featuring unique flavour combinations designed by visionary chocolatiers and lovingly encased in paper designed by independent artists. £5 each.
Gin + Tonic Dark chocolate (vegan)
The clever folks at laboratory believe that fragrance can be a form of time travel – the smell of a freshly cut orange, or the ground after a rainfall can pull you straight back to a memory long forgotten. As all of their fragrances, Atlas is unisex which makes it the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys a complex and intriguing olfactory experience. £65
With colourways straight out of a Wes Anderson film, the hand cast and glazed tableware – including the ‘munch bowl’ and the ‘sip’ cup – by Studio Arhoj will add character to any home and make mealtimes feel like an art form. The sip cups have other uses and work just as well as a pot for a tiny plant, or for storing jewellery. From £17
Inspired by the Japanese Shinto belief that everything within nature has a soul, each Arhoj ghost is completely unique, hand fired, glazed and decorated. What they are used for is up to you – your ghost will take good care of your rings, hold down your papers or just stare at you wisely from a shelf. £16
Give someone the gift of organisation this Christmas with the slick Kartotek weekly planner. £15
