Wallpaper* Gift Guides: What our Fashion & Beauty Features Director, Jack Moss, has on his wishlist

Copenhagen-based label Tekla makes pyjamas good enough to leave the house in – a louche mode of dressing which is currently having a moment. Case in point: this sateen pyjama shirt with piped edges, which I would happily wear with blue jeans and a white T-shirt, though the full set would make the perfect gift for those wishing to luxuriate at home this festive season.

Speaking of luxuriating, 39BC’s oil cleansers are based on ancient bathing rituals and leave a scent which lingers through the day (I use it as a final step in the shower to perfume and moisturise, and favour the fresh, verdant ‘Fig Milk’ which has notes of fig, cyclamen and green leaf). The relatively new brand was founded by London-based beauty entrepreneur Sharmadean Reid – if her past projects are anything to go by, expect it to be everywhere in 2026.

If a tie was once a somewhat uninspired gift for the men in your life, a recent necktie renaissance – in part down to Matthieu Blazy’s tenure at Bottega Veneta – has made the accessory desirable once again. My current favourite? This preppy striped tie from Michael Rider’s first collection for Celine, playfully sliced away at its end.

Some of the best beauty products can be found in the aisles of a drugstore – particularly when it comes to an everyday moisturiser – though occasionally a product is worth a more weighty price tag. MyBlend’s revitalising cream, for me at least, is one of them: a transformative moisturiser that’s a pleasure to apply and has a suite of actives, from the familiar (hyaluronic acid, peptides) to the niche (fermented turmeric, marine prebiome). The line was developed by epigenetics expert Dr Olivier Courtin, who also created another Wallpaper* favourite, the MyBlend LED mask.

Full disclosure, I already have Extreme Cashmere’s ‘Xtra Out’ zip-up cardigan in my wardrobe – so perfect is its just-slouchy shape and weighty cashmere knit that I’m already looking to add new colours to my collection (currently I have it in felt grey; this ‘latte’ hue is next on my wishlist). I love the way it can be worn on its own as a sweater, or layered over other knits as a jacket – perfect for Britain’s changeable weather.

I don’t think there’s currently anybody in my life quite generous enough to gift me this Prada tote, though as this is a wishlist, it’s claimed a spot. A love child of sorts between a traditional bowling bag and Prada’s Buckle Bag – named for the belt which runs around its top – it first appeared as part of Prada’s brilliant A/W 2025 menswear show, which was full of pieces to lust after (next on my list is this charm bracelet, adorned with anchors and four-leafed clovers).

While the labubu might be somewhat tired – as predicted, they proved to be a largely fleeting trend – there is an undeniable attraction to the bag charm. My favourite is this supersized rugby tassel by London-based label Stefan Cooke in mint and charcoal stripes.

Being introduced to Balenciaga’s fragrances in Paris in June was one of the year’s highlights – the range of ten fragrances had been meticulously created to evoke the essence of the house and its founder, Cristóbal Balenciaga (all the way down to the bottle, which is a recreation of a rare Balenciaga fragrance discovered at a vintage market with all its patina of age). All of them are incredible, but I loved the freshness of Getaria – named after the Spanish coastal town where the couturier grew up, it is an intriguing blend of salt and citrus, and quite unlike anything else I’ve smelt.

Founded by former Dazed editor-in-chief Isabella Burley, we named Climax – which has outposts in London and New York – as fashion’s favourite bookstore. Now counting fans which include Dev Hynes, Kyle Maclachlan and Paloma Elsesser (each featured in Climax’s ‘Under the Cover’ video series), alongside the store’s curation of rare fashion and photography tomes, Burley has created an equally desirable range of merch – from a ‘Honk if you like books’ bumper sticker to this zip-up hoodie, which I'll be wearing all winter long.

The idea of domesticity is at the heart of Jonathan Anderson’s refreshed vision for his eponymous London-based label, transforming his Soho store into an inviting emporium not only of clothing but ceramics, artworks, furniture and even honey, all available to purchase. He’s also put a greater onus on craft: these vivid emerald slippers are made in Italy from silk jacquard fabric usually used for upholstery, and woven by British experts in historic damask silk. But above all, they encapsulate the comfort craved through the winter months.

I still love bar soap, and in its simplicity and size it makes for the perfect gift – whether given alone or nuzzled into a stocking. London-based brand Perfumer H’s not only looks good (each bar is hand-wrapped in gold-flaked paper) and is good for your skin (it is made of 100 per cent natural glycerin), but also comes with all of founder Lyn Harris’ olfactory mastery. This one, ‘Ink’, has notes of black pepper, juniper and cedar wood, papyrus, vetiver, frankincense and a ‘smudge’ of rose, designed to evoke blue ink on paper and lingering long after you’ve rinsed your hands.
