All I want for Christmas...

We asked some of our favourite people which gift from The White Company would be on their wish list this year…

Super Soft Faux Fur Heated Blanket
Marble Round Board

Lynne Hyland, health and beauty editor

“Number one on the list has to be the Super Soft Faux Fur Heated Blanket. My husband is constantly turning down the heating in our house to save money, it’s an ongoing battle. I will be snuggled up under this on the sofa from Christmas until the sun comes back, some time around April. In fact, if I could wear it, I would. I’ll have to fight the cat for it: it’s going to be her favourite thing in the house, too.”

Lily McCoy, The White Company's Trend Lead

"I’ve had my eye on the Witney Stone Bowl since it launched. I’m really into these decorative objet pieces that I can move from room to room - a cheat's way to feel like I’ve redecorated, when in reality I’ve just shuffled some things around. Its such a gorgeous texture and piece I think I’ll love for years to come! That's the one I'll be dropping the biggest hints about."

Champagne Trug
Cashmere Short Robe

Sarah Bailey, editor

“A champagne trug because, wow! – what a centrepiece. Feel free to add a bottle of Veuve Clicquot as a cheeky stocking filler.”

Ali Heath, interiors expert and author

“A pale-grey cashmere robe. I have been a fan of these cashmere gowns for years and have had the darker-grey long one and the short grey one before. They are a treat that throughout the colder months are really enjoyed at home. The cashmere is lovely quality, the price is good vs other cashmere alternatives and to wear it feels like a piece of luxury to be enjoyed at the start and end of each day. My old ones suffered a shrinkage disaster in the wash (my fault!) hence a happy-top-of-wish-list idea for my lovely husband.”

Shearling Bomber
Cashmere Bed Socks

Barbara Horspool, The White Company Clothing Director

“For me, it would be the Shearling Bomber Jacket. Ease and comfort are a massive part of our collection at The White Company, and this encapsulates that feeling. It looks effortless, and that’s the best way to look cool – like you haven’t tried too hard. It’s pure Merino sheepskin, in the most beautiful, soft neutral shade.”

Anna Murphy, fashion director and author

“Christmas isn’t Christmas without a pair of The White Company Cashmere Bed Socks waiting for me under the tree.”

winter large candle
Cashmere Loopback Tie Hem Jumper

Marianne Jones, editor and podcaster, @mariannejonesuk

“This is an easy question. Christmas is not official until I’m burning my Winter Large Candle. It’s usually one of my sons who buys it, and the instructions are very clear – it must be the three-wick one because I burn it every single day. It smells of orange, cinnamon and clove, and is heaven in a jar.”

Jane Knight, travel editor

“I’d love a cashmere jumper – to me they are what winter is all about – being snuggled up and cosy. A bit of luxury for a dull day.”

Orford Swirl Tumblers – Set of 4
Radnor Throw

Mark Winstanley, The White Company, Chief Creative Officer

“As someone who loves to lay a table, whether for a simple brunch, or a weekend dinner with friends, having a selection of lovely glassware is a must and so for Christmas I’d be thrilled to receive a set (or two) of our four Orford Swirl Tumblers. Brilliantly for a cocktail or as a water glass, layered with a classic wine glass for some Venetian style decoration that will enhance any place setting.

Flora Shedden, baker and cookery writer

"A beautiful woollen blanket or cushion. Nothing beats wool in the winter and it makes for such a lovely gift. I live in Scotland where you can never have enough blankets! The Radnor Blanket looks especially cosy."
