Wallpaper* Gift Guides: What our director of digital content, Charlotte Gunn, has on her wishlist this year

I recently had dinner with a friend whose skin looked so radiant, I found myself taking notes. Her secret? A nightly routine with the Lyma Laser Pro.

Patti Smith's newest memoir dives into her teenage years. I adored Just Kids and while that arguably chronicles the juicier part of Patti's past, Bread of Angels promises to revisit her most formative influences: the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud and the songs of Bob Dylan, among them.

I’m slowly illuminating every shadowy corner in my home. This tinted glass lamp from Hay is a recent addition – small but perfectly formed. Collect the set in differing colours and sizes.

Universally loved and recommended by almost everyone in beauty, Augustinus Bader’s The Cream has earned its cult status.

After leaving my Nothing headphones in a hotel room earlier this year, I’ve been relying on a less-than-ideal replacement. The newly released Ear (3) buds are calling my name: noise-cancelling, crisp audio, and a built-in microphone – ideal if your day involves interviews or content creation. With 38 hours of battery life, they should also make long flights more bearable.

Aim for 2026: look more adorable. This knitted hood from Margaret Howell feels like a good place to start.

Arte House opened on Golborne Road in May and features a beautifully curated collection of art and objects. I tend to adopt a 'one for you, one for me' approach to gifting, and recently left with four mugs by Cornish artist Shannon Bartlett-Smith. Two may have already found their way into my cupboard.

Modern life is rubbish. Avoid the endless scroll with The Brick, which attaches to your phone to limit distracting apps. Set different modes for work, exercise or socialising.

2026 calls for a new fragrance, but I’m indecisive, so for now I've got my eyes on Perfumer H’s discovery set.

Listen up: I want this wall ear. I'm not sure why, but I do.

One of my favourite releases of 2025, Choke Enough is the debut album from French artist Oklou (pronounced Okay-Lou) aka Marylou Mayniel. It's inventive, exciting electronica for fans of A.G. Cook and FKA Twigs.

These miniature digital cameras make a great gift for teens. Inspired by the 1987 Kodak Fling, the keychain camera captures 1.6MP photos and 30fps AVI videos through a 35mm-equivalent lens. They come in 'blind boxes', with seven retro designs available. The demand for these cameras is extraordinarily high – they are out of stock at most retailers, WEX are currently taking pre-orders.

I need a new everyday bag and I can't shake my hankering for Coach's Brooklyn bag in suede. Ubiquitous? Perhaps. But I like the Almost Famous of it all.
