Dear Santa...

Published on Friday 14th November 2008

Although it’s only the beginning of November, the one thought that I can’t get out of my head is the Christmas shopping task that lies ahead. So for me, that means the somewhat tricky feat of finding that wow-factor present for my husband Andrew and a stocking full of goodies for Jake, my five year old son – it seems to get harder every year.

Gently persuading them to buy me gifts that I’ll like is an even harder task. The usual plan involves hint dropping and lots of it, but for some reason men just aren’t so forthcoming.

Then I came across the amazing Helena Boxer at Quintessentially Bespoke, who always seems to find the perfect gift for any occasion.

If you haven’t heard of Quintessentially, where have you been? It’s an amazing concierge service that gets you into the best restaurants and clubs around the world, books your holiday, and can take complete care of every requirement you might have, no matter how big or small.

From experience, it usually just takes a phone call to give Helena a few of Andrew’s interests and within 15 minutes, she is a fountain of knowledge of the best gifts to suit the man who really does seem to have everything. As for Jake, I know a trip to Hamleys will always be a winner.

When it comes to my Christmas wish list, among the array of coveted items is Roberto Cavalli’s Floral Crystal Pendant and the new Anya Hindmarch Maggie Satin Clutch – a classic.
