Finding luxury gifts that are genuinely loved is harder than it looks. The best presents are things people will use, wear and keep for years, not objects that disappear into a drawer. This guide gathers pieces from across our collection, organised by the person you are buying for, all chosen for the like-minded.

For the one who is always cold
The Hand Finished Scarf
The Hand Finished Scarf is crafted from a luxurious Italian fabric of 90% wool and 10% cashmere. Its splittable weave lends a supple, weighty hand, and each edge is meticulously hand sewn. No sizing required.
The Snoodie
The Snoodie, our interpretation of a roll neck and a hoodie, is cut from a 375 GSM Italian loopback and designed for the ultimate winter chill. Discover it in what is a snoodie.
The Lined Hoodie
For maximum warmth, the Lined Hoodie weighs over a kilo at 580 GSM, with a silky lining made from recycled plastic bottles. Read about it in heavyweight hoodies.
For the homebody
The Weighted Blanket
Weighing approximately 3kg, the Weighted Blanket offers a reassuring weight for slow evenings at home. We look at the research on weighted blankets in weighted blanket benefits.
The Palo Santo
Our Palo Santo comes as five sticks, responsibly sourced from Peru, with a Parhela custom logo. For centuries, the indigenous people of the Andes have burned palo santo for purification and calm. A thoughtful, affordable addition to any gift.
For the traveller
The Flight Suit
Inspired by the idea of a luxury aeroplane travel outfit, the Flight Suit Top and Flight Suit Bottoms are made from a Portuguese modal spun from recycled tree fibres. See our guide on what to wear on a long-haul flight.
The Bamboo Socks
The Bamboo Socks are made from 80% bamboo, spun on special Italian tubular knitting machines, with natural anti-odour properties. An easy stocking filler.
For the one who loves a statement
Silk shirts with a story
Our silk shirts are cut from 100% satin silk, each with a design created in-house: the Gaia Silk Shirt, a tribute to the Greek goddess of the Earth, and the Matiasma Silk Shirt, inspired by the evil eye. Read what the evil eye means, and see our guide on wearing silk in winter.
The Wild Window Hoodie
The Wild Window Hoodie carries a watering hole scene embroidered with 227,000 threads. It is made to order, so allow 10 to 14 working days for dispatch and order early for the holidays.
For the minimalist
The Staple Collection
A hoodie, a sweatshirt and bottoms in our flagship Italian loopback, designed to mix and match. Gift one piece or the full set from the Staple Collection.
The Pearlescent Tee
The Pearlescent Tee is cut from a fabric found at one of Italy's oldest mills, with a natural silky sheen. A perfect everyday piece.
Stocking fillers and smaller gifts
- The Bamboo Socks.
