Still baffled about what you’d like to give or receive this Christmas? Then allow Prestige's Chief Editor Jon Wall to come to the rescue with this inventory of money-no-object suggestions. Here's a 2020 Christmas wish list for the lovers of timeless and extravagant luxury.

KEF

I’m constantly thinking about improving the sound system in my home, I’m hoping someone will present me with a pair of KEF’s LS50 wireless speakers. They’re the first to feature Metamaterial Absorption Technology and though I haven’t a clue what that means, I’m sure they’ll sound amazing.

Ducati X Lamborghini

Ducati’s two-wheeled homage to the Sián hypercar certainly has me lusting. The Ducati Diavel 1260 Lamborghini not only looks sensational but obviously goes like stink, so if anyone is mad enough to think about giving me one of these this Christmas — yes please!

McLaren

Nothing ventured, nothing gained so I’m aiming high by asking for a McLaren. Not just any Macca but this 765LT, which, as it’s probably the company’s best ever, should fit the bill just fine. 

Leica

[caption id="attachment_213147" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Leica M10-R HK$58,600-67,500[/caption]

This recently launched 40-megapixel digital M10-R version of Leica’s incomparable rangefinder camera has sensitivity that’s now been increased to 50,000 ISO and a maximum exposure time of 16 minutes. Need I say more?

Technohull

Last year I put in a cheeky request for a Sundeck yacht and — funny old world — no one took a blind bit of notice. Although I’m still hankering for some fun on the water, this time round I’m being slightly less aggressive by including for this Grand Sport rigid inflatable by Technohull in my 2020 Christmas wish list. It’s light, has plenty of room for my mates and goes just about anywhere inshore — and with a trio of 450hp outboards on the back, it’s not just fast but ludicrously so.

Rolex

[caption id="attachment_213152" align="aligncenter" width="702"] Oyster Perpetual 41[/caption]

The older I get, the more I like my watches to be simple and classic. And what fits the bill better than a time-only Rolex? I’m talking, of course, about the Oyster Perpetual, which for 2020 now comes in an eminently wearable 41mm diameter as well as a host of new dial colours. Although I’m tempted by the blue one, I reckon this more conservative model should fit the bill even better. With silver-grey sunray dial and — in a discreet touch of luxury — gold accents, it will go with just about anything, from casual to formal.

While holiday shopping might look a little different for everyone this year, we can still enjoy the thrill of finding the best Christmas gifts for the beauty lovers in our life from the comfort of our homes thanks the countless options available online.

We know that it can be overwhelming to navigate online shopping this time of year - possibly even more than making your way through a crowded department store - and that's why we did all the work for you and found some of the best finds out there. From make-up sets and creams to perfumes, here are our favourite picks for 2020.

Vilhelm Parfumerie

More than a perfume range, Vilhelm Parfumerieis a multi-sensory library of tales and luxury experiences. Created in collaboration with the prestigious perfumers Jerome Epinette and Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, each scent is unique and housed in a stylish bottle of spun glass with a flower symbol on the cap. Room Service (HK$1,920), Victoria Beckham's favourite fragrance, evokes the image of a lover in a hotel room waiting for her ultimate self-care treat: a bath of flower petals with warm water releasing aromas of citrus, red fruits, bamboo, violet, black amber, and sandalwood and makes for a memorable Christmas gift.

Aesop

Aesop, one of the symbols of the ultra-popular millennial-chic aesthetic, has launched Sensory Chronicles, a 2020 gift kits collection that pays tribute to the remarkable power of the imagination. Our personal favourites include the The Lore Collector (HK$740), a quartet of hand and body care products inspired by a dreamy tale (contained within the gift as an eBook) by Japanese writer of Greek-Irish descent Lafcadio Hearn, and The Metaphysical Voyager (HK$1,250), A duet of hydrating formulations enriched with skin supportive ingredients.

NARS

For a gift that celebrates the festive season with boldness and glam, NARS has launched a limited-edition holiday collection gilded in glitz. The line includes holiday essentials and sets like the Vip Audacious Lipsticks (HK$275 each), the Iconic Glow Cheek Duo (HK$350), the Free Your Mind Mini Lipstick Coffret (HK$400), and the shiny Mini Brush Set (HK$800).

Louis Vuitton

This festive season Louis Vuitton has launched an exclusive service that has already become one of the most desirable Christmas gifts for beauty lovers around the world. LV's Master Perfume, in fact, has opened his prestigious workshop to bespoke perfumery, for unique and personalised creations made upon request to best encapsulate each client’s personality. To add to the charm and exclusivity, the trunk in which the perfume will be presented is crafted in Asnières, Louis Vuitton’s historic workshop and can hold four 100ml bottles, three 200ml bottles, a 100ml travel case, a travel spray and 16 refills.

SKIN NEED

Independent Hong Kong vegan and natural cruelty-free skincare label SKIN NEED has launched a brand new Body Line with two gift sets just in time for the festive season. Formulated especially for Hong Kong skin type and climate, Carry Love Around (HK$398), a collection of the label’s new nature-meets-science skincare signatures and A Lover’s Chest (HK$998), an ode to skincare and beauty rituals in a luxury box complete with embroidered robe and a playlist, are the perfect Christmas gifts for beauty lovers who are also passionate about sustainability.

Helena Rubinstein
