Bellroy Classic Watch Strap

A watch is a classic gift, however practicality has prompted many to turn away from traditional timepieces in favour of multifunctional smartwatches. This doesn't mean these devices can't still look and feel luxurious, though. If your partner is addicted to their Apple Watch, consider gifting them a well-made leather strap to elevate their look. 

Bellroy's Classic Watch Strap is made from smooth, water-resistant leather, and distinguishes itself with its tuck-away strap. The end slides through the stainless steel buckle to comfortably hide between the wearer's wrist and strap, keeping it neatly in place. This means there isn't any fiddling around with band keepers which inevitably slide off, leaving the end of the strap sticking out in an unsightly manner. The leather is also unobtrusively embossed with Bellroy's attractive owl logo right by the buckle, which is a lovely little detail. 

The Classic Watch Strap is available in four different colours and two different sizes, so be sure to double check which option will fit your loved one's Apple Watch model. If you're unsure, try sneaking a peek at the back of the device when they take it off to charge.

If your loved one loves tea, an elegant yet practical teapot is unlikely to go wrong. A well-made teapot can distinctly elevate the daily ritual of drinking tea, helping to ensure it's a meditative moment of calm away from their screens.

The Isshin Teapot is a quality piece of teaware that pays beautiful attention to detail. Created in Tokoname, one of Japan's six most distinguished sites of ceramic production, the Isshin Teapot's well-fitted lid helps it to retain heat for much longer than you'd expect. Its carefully placed spout is resistant to overflowing, while the inbuilt ceramic strainer eliminates the danger of rust, deftly keeping tea leaves out of your cup without blocking your pour.

You can also pair the Isshin Teapot with a couple of teacups, its relatively neutral red and brown colour matching well with any you might choose. The gorgeous blue Moist Chrysanthemum Shape Yunomi Japanese Teacup has an inviting matte finish complimenting its smooth ridges, while the hand painted Tosen Kiln Sakura Kiyomizu Ware Japanese Tea Cup's white base allows the colour of the tea to shine through, encouraging drinkers to slow down and enjoy each sip.

This gift can also act as the promise of quality time together, where you and your loved one can sit and enjoy each other's company while enjoying a soothing cup of sencha.

Sheet Society Eve Linen Sheets

Silk sheets certainly sound sumptuous for an elevated night's sleep. Unfortunately, their luxury is often offset by their lack of practicality, as they can stain easily and require delicate care. As such, gifting someone silk sheets is a bit like giving them a puppy: lovely in theory, but you may just be burdening the recipient with a lot more work. 

Linen is a far more durable option, yet still equally as luxurious as silk. Breathable and hypoallergenic, linen sheets are also suitable for people with sensitive skin, and regulate temperature so they can be used all year round. You never have to worry about ironing them either, as the natural, crumpled look simply adds to their charm.

Sheet Society's Eve Linen collection is made from 100 percent linen, and while it will only get softer with wear, it's already comfortable straight out of the box. The sheets are pre washed so you can start using them straight away, with quilt covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets, pillowcases, and European pillowcases all available separately so you can mix and match colours to style the perfect bed. The website even has a bed builder tool that you'll probably spend way too long playing with. 

Sewn with durable yet lightweight linen, Sheet Society's pillowcases have a deep lip that is around twice as wide as standard, preventing your pillow from sliding out while you sleep. The thick elastic and deep sides on the fitted sheets keep the fabric firmly in place, while the quilt covers' invisible zip ensures there's no unsightly gaping.
