Help, I’m stuck for a present for my PA.
Whether they’ve had to put up with you during a busy and stressful period and deserve a reward, whether they’ve got a birthday coming up, or you’re just feeling generous after your annual bonus, buying for your PA can be tricky and isn’t something that's worth getting wrong! Here are our top five suggestions.
Something in the beauty department is always a safe bet although stay away from fragrance and foundation as they’re really rather personal.
 As a little thank-you for all that overtime, treat her to some Shea Butter Hand Cream from L’Occitane . Tailored especially for hardworking hands, it’s the perfect gift for her top desk draw.
If she’s been working so hard she can’t sleep (or maybe had one too many late nights after work with the girls!), show her you care with this Cowshed Bodycare Gift Set – just the thing to pamper the girl who parties until the cows come home. Their quirky names are bound to amuse, add a sense of indulgence to her bath times and hopefully calm and sooth her tired mind.
 For the girl who prides herself on her immaculate presentation, this Aspinal Mini Manicure Set in soft pink leather is perfect. Just make sure she doesn’t take it as her pink ticket to files her nails on reception…
 For a younger, hip PA, go for a purse from Anya Hindmarch . Something in patent leather or a metallic finish will be sure to get some serious appreciaton, not to mention raised eyebrows, at your knowledge of the season’s must-have accessories!
 If your PA is more your mother's age than your kid sister's, you need to think classic. And it doesn’t come classier than a stunning Hermes silk scarf.
They really are the epitome of timeless style. The range is wide but we think your best opting for one of their vintage prints in a bright colour such as this stylish orange to lift those winter blues.
She can only love it - not to mention her job...
