Christmas shopping can be overwhelming. You've made a list (and checked it twice), only to suffer through the dawning realisation that you've got 72 presents to buy and about two weeks in which to do so. For some, the main issue is that there's simply too much choice. This is especially true of friends and loved ones whose greatest passion is – wait for it – Fashion, with a capital F. There's a whole world of things you could buy, from a whole world of designers. Naturally, most of us are constrained by a budget, even if we pretend that's not the case, so here is a truly fashionable compilation of items to give to your most stylist friends and family members. Or you could just treat yourself. You deserve it. It's Christmas, after all.

Alighieri, Glass-Drop 24kt Gold Earrings, £280

While Alighieri, the London-based jewellery label inspired by Dante Alighieri's epic poem Divine Comedy, only launched in 2014, it has already amassed a following of fashion insiders and col girls.

Desmond & Dempsey, Long Jag Print Pyjama Set, £1506 of 23

Desmond & Dempsey, Long Jag Print Pyjama Set, £150

Lovely pyjamas are always a treat and few brands make them better than Desmond & Dempsey. There's a range of prints and styles to choose from, but this pair is the OG of the label's PJS – and one of the best sets on offer, in our opinion.

Dior, Saddle Oblique Logo Belt, £4107 of 23

Dior, Saddle Oblique Logo Belt, £410

Dior's Saddle Bag returned to much fanfare last year but given that most of them cost over £1,000, that might be slightly unrealistic for your best pal's Christmas present. You might even struggle to justify buying that for yourself at this time of year, too. So, compromise with the Saddle print logo belt, which will make even your oldest pair of jeans look instantly more haute.
