How to gift a little more luxury this Christmas

If you’ve been very good this year, you might already be organised enough to have started your Christmas shopping. Who’s to say you haven’t finished it already?

Whether your Christmas list is a mile long or you’re already smugly sitting besides a pile of wrapped presents under a perfectly decorated tree, everyone deserves a little extra luxury. And that’s where Bicester Village comes in…

The Oxfordshire shopping haven may be home to over 80 menswear boutiques but that’s actually just half of what’s available. There are also dozens of beauty, homeware and lifestyle stores – not to mention high-end jewellery, watches and womenswear boutiques too – so finding the perfect present is easier than you’d think. And even if you’re already found it, why not treat them to just one more?

Looking for a little more luxury to spoil your loved ones with this year? Or want to give them “just one more” special gift to open? Here are our picks from over 160 boutiques at Bicester Village…

If diamonds, silver and gold are your Secret Santa’s best friend, you’re in luck at Bicester Village – home to a number of world-famous jewellery and accessories brands dazzling you with offers at just a fraction of the price, including Annoushka, Links Of London and Dunhill.

Being a “foodie” can mean anything from enjoying cooking to – well, just eating in general. Christmas is the perfect time to indulge the self-certified sweet tooth in your inner circle.

Not only can you stock up their kitchens with everything from Le Creuset to Zwilling J.A. Henckels cookware, but there are also some mouth-watering eateries to stop in at, like the luxurious Café Wolseley – who have some very tempting festive hampers – and the chocolate heaven that is Pierre Marcolini.

With over 160 boutiques at Bicester Village, it’s impossible to leave without filling a new winter wardrobe (or two), with world-famous brands from Acne Studios to Vivienne Westwood offering up to 60% off the recommended retail price.

If a certain someone’s Christmas list includes a new suit from Paul Smith, a new coat from Savoy Tailor’s Guild or a few new dresses from Stella McCartney, have you considered an extra little finishing touch? If they’re on your Nice List this year, top their sartorial tree with a new scarf, scent or pocket square.

BOSS Albas Scarf – £45

Salvatore Ferragamo Paisley pocket square – £35

Penhaligon’s Sartorial Shaving Set – £80
