Hermes, Set of 2 Under the Waves Beach Rackets

Coming in shades of Azur blue or grenadine red, these colorful rackets are a physical delight for the kids and a visual pleasure for the adults.

Dolce & Gabbana, Doll

Every girl remembers their first doll. There’s a reason Barbie is the best-selling toy of all time, and good luck finding a millennial American woman that still doesn’t somewhat identify by her American Doll of her childhood. Excitingly, Dolce & Gabbana have entered the doll market, and with all the glitz and glamor you’d expect: their Dolls Special Project is dressed in mini-me dresses of the fashion house’s archives, with the same beauty and sophistication that so characterizes the Italian designers. With all four dolls in the range dressed in gorgeous gowns and accompanying tiaras, there won’t be a better dressed dolls’ tea party guest in town.

Lamborghini: Toy Car

There may be a better gift on the market for any budding Formula One driver, but if so, we’re yet to find it. This mini Lamborghini is, admittedly, considerably cuter than its full-sized older brother, but lest we patronize the Lamborghini Aventador SV Licensed battery-powered electric ride-on toy car. Featuring all the stylistic trimmings of the iconic Italian sports car, from the logo-emblazed headrests to the sleekest tires this side of Lapland, the Lamborghini toy car is suitable for three- to eight-year-olds to ride in, and suitable for children – and adults – of all ages to envy. Vroom vroom.

Bombas, Pack of 12 Socks

Yes, socks as a Christmas gift seems akin to a 21^st century version of a lump of coal. But Bombas urges us to think again, with great success: these ankle socks are not only among some of the comfiest on the market, but stylish too, in an array of bright, cheerful colors. And yet perhaps the greatest aspect of Bombas this holiday season is their mission to give back. For every pair of socks sold, a pair are donated to homeless charities, totaling over 75 million across 3,500 organizations across all fifty states of the United States.

Skyline Chess: London Skyline Chess Set

Whether it be the Queen’s Gambit or Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the millennia-old, ancient cultures-spanning game of chess is more than just the stuff of school swots and Mediterranean café society: learning how to play chess is scientifically proven to be one of the best ways to teach children important math skills, to improve cognitive skills, attention span, and boost memory capacity. Skyline Chess, founded by London architects, have launched a London skyline piece that will be irresistible to the jet-set generation. Immaculately designed, and 100% stainless steel, this is a gift not just for the children, but for the whole home.

Gucci, Girls' Coat

This Gucci wool coat is so seriously stylish, so undeniably darling, the only fault we can find with it is that it doesn’t come in an adult size for mom. Tastefully embroidered with the logo in colors of scarlet and navy – which we can’t help but wonder was a deliberate choice for school uniforms -- the coat is a relaxed fit, featuring notch lapels, full lining, two welt pockets at the front, and structuring at the back. A timeless piece that will keep your mini fashionista warm all winter long, this statement coat is guaranteed to turn heads both in and outside the school playgrounds.

Ralph Lauren, Sweater

Ralph Lauren, the ultimate home of East Coast prep outfitters, is our natural port of call for a sweater that’s as appropriate for family dinners at the grandparents as it is resilient to being considered uncool on the playground. Since first introduced by the fashion house in 1991, the Polo Bear is one of the most recognizable symbols in American fashion, and kids will be charmed by the smiling bear in this iteration clutching a football. Pair with smart jeans or chinos for family photos; throw over a pair of tracksuits for long-haul traveling. Naturally, boys will be boys, something Ralph Lauren acknowledges in this crewneck being machine washable.

Bugatti + The Little Car Company, Bugatti Baby II

For kids who love cars, there is nothing more exciting than the thought of getting behind the wheel.

Now, to celebrate Bugatti’s 110^th anniversary, the iconic car manufacturer has introduced the Bugatti Baby II (for children age 14 and over).
