Define the Season: Claire Menary’s Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas is all about the personal touches – and Claire Menary agrees. To celebrate the season of giving, we asked the blogger and photographer to put together a carefully curated edit of her favourite gifts from our latest collection, and asked her how she’ll be defining the season in our exclusive Q&A.  

 

 

 Tell us about the pieces you’ve chosen…

I really enjoy buying people one big ‘main’ present and then lots of little gifts for Christmas so I turned to Monsoon to find those smaller treasures. I love that the homeware range has a variety of accessories that will help me tick off many people on my Christmas gift list this year. For my jet-setting pal, the star-print travel wallet and matching tag which will certainly come in handy if you’re on a plane as much as she is. I also picked out the eye mask – it’s a great example of something that people don’t often buy for themselves but is really useful and much appreciated. I especially love this one as it’s velvety soft.

For my best friend Rebecca, the wooden tray with mother-of-pearl detailing makes for a cute bedside table addition – the perfect place to store jewellery and trinkets. The fluffy robe and slippers will make a gorgeous gift too as she loves nothing more than being cosy. Finally, the black pomegranate candle smells absolutely dreamy – that’ll be a treat for my mum!

 What’s on your Christmas wish-list this year?

Having recently moved, I’ve been loving picking out things for my flat. I’ve had my eye on Monsoon’s green marble table for months – it would look lovely in my lounge. I’m also such a jewellery magpie so I can never stop myself from adding a few new shiny gold treasures to my Christmas list – can you really ever have too many rings and necklaces? I think not!

What’s your ultimate fail-safe gift?

A beautiful scented candle – everyone loves them. I think they’re the perfect gift that’s always appreciated.
