Welcome to Who What Wear Gifts. With the festive season fast approaching, we wanted to curate the ultimate gift guide of the pieces we truly think are worth it, so you’ll know your chosen item will be treasured for years to come. Featuring everything from luxury homeware and editor-adored beauty products to show-stopping handbags and forever accessories, whether you’re shopping for a loved one or for yourself, consider this the perfect destination for all your gifting needs. Happy shopping!
Soon enough, the streets will be filled with twinkling lights, windows will be decorated with snowflakes and the preparations for the tree will be underway. There's a lot to get done, and whilst I can't tick off your wrapping or scheduling the big shop, I can make finding a great gift for the ones you love a little easier. We're all looking for that present that makes their eyes light up, and I can assure you that unwrapping a little box containing a special piece of jewellery or an enviable watch is sure to bring a touch of sparkle.
The power of jewellery cannot be overlooked. These pieces can become part of a person's daily outfit; a staple pair of earrings they never take off or a watch they always depend upon, or perhaps it's a more special item, savoured for special occasions when their very best pieces are brought out. There’s even the chance to add an extra personal touch with letter pendants or engraved details to add a further element of thoughtfulness to your gift. All in all, these tiny treasures can make a seriously big impact.
Beaded or metallic, silver or gold, heirloom or high street, we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to jewellery and watches to gift. But don’t fret—I’m here to make finding that special something even easier. I’ve trawled the high street, explored small boutique brands and consulted well-known names to curate the ultimate guide to the best jewellery and watch gifts around ahead of the festive season.
Keep scrolling to explore the best jewellery and watch gifts to treat your loved ones (or yourself) to this season.
