Pricey Gifts

From the editor’s desk

The right detail.

The most memorable gifts often begin with something small: a passing remark, a familiar habit, an interest pursued for years.

Notice what they return to.

A favourite material. A particular maker. The same notebook, replaced again and again. Familiarity can be a better guide than novelty.

Let the occasion set the scale.

A thank-you and a milestone ask for different gestures. The relationship matters more than the size of the box.

Leave room for their taste.

With a watch, a piece of jewellery or something for the home, proportions and preferences are personal. A thoughtful question can be part of the gift.
