For a very funny French lady with an uncanny Cockney accent and a unconditional love for cats, no matter how many scratches she gets along the way. A spitting portrait of her forever favourite cat, down to the jaded look.

For the love of my life, who always opens the wine. This sleek bottle opener is already on his radaar.

An appreciation gift for the pal who rings the doorbell five minutes early, leaves two hours after the party ends, and always seems to forget something.

For the one friend who loves generative art, listens to concrete music, collects curious objects and the kind of beautiful oddities most people scroll past.

She talks to birds, cats and anything that walks this earth on four legs. She’s the one who will gently remove a spider for you and absolutely forbid you from killing a cockroach. A must-have scarf for a must-have friend.

This one is for a very bright young lady who loves colours, drawing, and mix and matching her shoes. A young kindred spirit.

For that one friend, who hums in tune, obsessively collects vinyls ahead of the music armageddon, and treats them like the most precious thing in his life.

She is a massive gamer. Think Dungeon and Dragons, Canasta, and anything that implies crushing me through strategic play and unexpected moves. Also she can read my mind.

For the friend who sings to plants and can revive anything you forgot to water for a month with one tender look. She loves watching things bloom, even if it breaks her heart a little when they wilt. This one’s for her.

I am notoriously bad at texting people back, yet, I love spend hours on the phone every once in a while. This might help my case.

He is ultra talented, works too much, hangs out with models, and probably thinks our curation is bonkers. I feel the need to prove him right.

My mum can sew anything, anytime, anywhere. She’s also the one who taught me to appreciate beauty and celebrate colour. This is her spirit outfit.

A practical object that doubles as a high-brow joke for the Académicien in my life, and a small mercy for someone who can never quite find his glasses.

For my most spiritual friend, the one that can feel the planets shift, boils chinese roots when she has a cold, and believes in Magic. Do not put it under your pillow.

For the friend who is always skint, juggling ten credit cards and just as many overdrafts, yet somehow appears with something new every time you see her. Personal motto: “Future me can deal with it.”

This one is for my favourite dog, who permanently looks like he just came out of the tumble drier. He deserves a collar that matches his colourful personality.

She’s British, armed with the wit to match, and forever declaring she has no space for new things. Which is exactly why I’d get her a giant banana pillow. Because I am, at heart, a contrarian.

It might be time to stop just looking at these beauties and take that deeply unnecessary yet very joyful step into these loafers.
