Handpicked Collection

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a present well received and at Handpicked Collection, this is as good as guaranteed.

TASTE DRIVEN BY TRENDSETTERS

This is a clever idea, which exploits our tendency to favour those products, shops and ideas that are recommended by people whose judgement we respect. The premise of Handpicked Collection is that each gift featured has been ‘handpicked' by a panel of influential folk, including journalists from publications such as Harpers, In Style, Red and Company; trendsetters from innovative companies such as Mr & Mrs Smith hotel guides and online market place, Nappy Valley; plus restaurateurs, comedians, directors and so on - the sorts that know what to give and where to find it in other words.

INSPIRING GIFTS

Unsurprisingly, the collection on offer is top notch, ranging from a Cricket Bat Frame (Gifts for Him) or a Vintage Hungarian Linen Bag (Gifts for Her) to a Paper Potter (Gardening Gifts) or a Natural Slate Cheesboard (Home/Kitchen Gifts), plus a range of Christmas Gifts and more. Within each section (Men/Women/Kids/Gardening/Home etc) gifts are broken down into bite size sub-categories, such as Luxury/Sport/Wine/Under £15 and so on, which helps the browsing experience. Each gift is illustrated by a clear cut-out image and detailed information relating to that product.

GOLD MEDAL PRESENT-GIVING

In addition to its range of gifts, Handpicked Collection runs specially commissioned articles on buying presents. For example, GQ's deputy editor explains why it's not about you, and In Style's Kate O'Donnell reveals how to become a gold medal present giver.
