Running between meetings hauling all your paperwork is never any fun, but at least you can now do it in style with dunhill’s Albany document case.

With an external compartment and zipped pockets on the bag’s interior that optimise organisation, you’ll also be able to stay on top of your game both inside and outside the boardroom.
Owning a private jet is typically enough to get people talking, but you could really make the biggest statement of the skies with Cobalt’s Valkyrie-X rose gold model. Crafted entirely in California from carbon composite, the plane boasts hand-stitched cream leather seats and has the largest single-piece canopy in the world, meaning you’ll be able to get some astounding views whilst you’re on board. However, this gleaming metallic aircraft isn’t all show and no go – it has a 350hp engine that can launch a pilot, three passengers and their luggage up to speeds of 230mph to a land range of 1,150 miles.
Music, lighting and decor are all factors which can influence the ambience of your living space, but none of them hold the quite same significance as smell: it’s the one factor that can have your guests feeling right at home or running to the nearest exit, so it’s key that you get it right. Bamford Grooming Department’s scented candle would be the perfect addition to any interior. Formulated with natural waxes and highly concentrated with the brand’s Edition 1 fragrance, the item will have your rooms smelling of refreshing Vetiver and leave warm notes of leather and dark amber.
Take a journey to the cosmos with the Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition. A special collection of three LPS, each vinyl contains a remastered version of the original audios that were initially sent up on the Voyager I and II as they travelled to interstellar space in 1977. At the time the aircrafts were on a mission to capture fly-by photos of the planets, and on board each was a golden phonograph that had an eclectic mix of contemporary music, planetary sounds and greetings in 55 human languages. As well as these recordings, the luxe cloth-covered box also includes a hardbound book filled with images that the rockets returned to earth and essays discussing their epic trip, a must buy for all self-professed science nerds.
