The cult children’s wear brand (worn by Anna Wintour’s grandchild, no less) has branched out into homeware. Specifically into this leopard bedspread.

 (Koi Bird)

I’m such a sucker for novelty board game design. I don’t play chess, but this set is so jolly I’m tempted to start. 

Chess rainbow set, £220, Maisongames, koibird.com 

 (Jigsaw)

I always have an eye out for a great slipper. These are ideal. 

Shearling slipper, £120, jigsaw-online.com 

 (Celine)

No one wants to have to pay for fancy candles, but everyone wants to own one. It is your festive duty to fulfil this adage. If you love a heady scent, Celine’s Tambour Noir is heaven.

Tambour Noir, perfumed candle, £85, celine.com 

 (Completedworks)

I covet everything from Completedworks which is my current favourite jewellery brand — not too spenny and always provokes compliments. 

Pearl and ceramic gold earrings, £295, completedworks.com
