Lust after…

…this Bella Freud sweater. But don’t buy it because it is insanely unaffordable at £280.

Read…

… the interview with Noel Gallagher in December’s Esquire. Even if you’re not interested in Noel Gallagher it’s a massive laugh.

Buy…

… one of these adorable Momiji `creatures for your daughter. Or son, I suppose. There is even a space inside for you to slip a little note. I’m definitely getting one for Kitty’s stocking. I particularly like Miss Rainbow and Chicky.

From £14.95

    I have been loving this blog, Esther.

    Not sure whether you take requests, but would you consider posting on Christmas presents for husbands/boyfriends (new ones in particular arrrgh)? The kind that have lots of stuff and if they want something they just buy it for themselves? So stressful. I feel as though you would have something v valuable to contribute in this area.

      Crumbs, L, this is an area fraught with difficulty. Gift guides are so hard to do and, I think, rarely work because the best gift is always individual and thoughtful and you can’t do that for someone you don’t know. But, I will have a think – who are you talking about, a husband or boyfriend? Tell me a bit more about him

        I’m a bit shy to say more now because the internet. And more importantly, of course you are right it is not possible for me to delegate this task. That is in fact what I needed to be told – thank you.

        He is fairly new, and totally lovely (I am haggard and baggage laden obvs), but has the money and gumption to buy whatever he feels like. I think I can get there with something trendy but not-yet-too-trendy because he likes to seem cosmopolitan and in-the-know.

        Thanks again, for your answer and your terrific writing.
