Boodles

Boodles Raindance ring

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Boodles' iconic Raindance ring - and 10 years since the V&A selected it to display in its permanent collection - so to celebrate, the British jeweller has released a new take on the classic. Available in a choice of two sizes, the anniversary ring is set in platinum and scattered with rare fancy white diamonds (weighing 2.32 carats in total) and pink diamonds (quarter of a carat).

Desmond & Dempsey

Desmond & Dempsey pyjama set

One of our favourite PJ brands, Desmond & Dempsey's gorgeous designs come in a wide range of jazzy prints. This Christmas, we have our eye on the Sansindo Tiger Print pyjama set in navy and pink. Printed with big cat repeats, the shirt and bottoms have an elegantly tailored silhouette, meaning they're ideal for lazy daytime lounging as overnight wear.

Savoir

Savoir bespoke dog bed 

Having spoken before about Savoir's ultra-luxurious beds, recently we were delighted to discover that the British brand also caters for canine friends too. Like its beds, each of Savoir's dog beds and toppers are hand crafted and made to order, meaning you can choose the perfect size and shape for your hound whilst also complementing your home with the right style and fabric. Interested parties should contact one of Savoir's showrooms.

Harry Winston

Harry Winston Premier Precious Kaleidoscope Automatic 36mm

Bursting with vibrant colours and patterns, Harry Winston's limited-edition Kaleidoscope collection brings the hypnotising beauty of a kaleidoscope to life across a range of jewels and timepieces. We particularly like this beautiful watch in blue beaded mother-of-pearl, complete with cabochons of malachite and turquoise. 72 brilliant-cut Paraiba tourmalines also feature, along with 40 brilliant-cut diamonds, 12 pear-cut diamonds and six marquise-cut emeralds.

Linley Henley watch winder

A novel idea for watch lovers, Linley's beautifully crafted walnut winder displays and rotates a timepiece set into it, ensuring that its owner will always be on time. Oscillating between clockwise and anticlockwise rotations, the watch will complete 1,900 revolutions every 24 hours. Should your timepiece have any special characteristics to consider, you can customise the program using a dedicated software program on your computer.
