This year, for the first time, we have enlisted the expertise of two Editors from the Evening Standard, Sophie Goodwin and Katie Law to give us their choices of ‘Top Gifts for Christmas’ to give you some inspiration.
For the past three years, ES Shopper Editor Sophie Goodwin has compiled a six-week Christmas gift guide in the magazine and is always overwhelmed by the beautiful offerings available. 'I love finding small treats at sensible prices that are thoughtfully made. I like to celebrate traditional craftsmanship and always favour personalised presents that will be treasured.
Katie Law writes the Design News page each week in Homes & Property, in which she
highlights some of the most exciting events going on in the world of interiors, be it a clever
home product which will transform your life or an exciting new shop opening. Katie also
interviews people who live in architecturally interesting or well-designed homes, and
contribute features to the rest of the London Evening Standard on books, travel
and shopping.
Exhibitors were asked to submit their products to be chosen for the following four categories: For Him, For Her, For Children and For Home, and the products will be judged on their quality, design, functionality and value for money. To find out the winning products of each category, please visit the Top Gifts for Christmas feature in the Champagne Bar at the Spirit of Christmas Fair.
