Gifts for Her

Is there any better way of giving someone special a lasting memory than to arrange for them to have their portrait photographed, either alone, with their children, nearest and dearest. A photographic sitting with Royal portrait photographer, Ian Jones, could be just the gift you’re looking for.  Ian is Royal portrait photographer, who has captured images of the Queen and Royal Family, at home and abroad in more than a hundred countries. Participating in a photographic sitting with him is a joy, as he ensures your precious memories are recorded for all time.

Gifts for Him

If you’re looking for a truly grand and unique gesture to give the man in your life, then look no further than sending him away to Provence on the ultimate wine experience. Whether or not the individual you buy this gift for is an avid wine collector, connoisseur or not – the week long experience will be an unparalleled opportunity to learn about and immerse oneself in the world of wine. Each day, gourmet meals are carefully calibrated to pair with the course’s 100+ benchmark wines, embracing some of the finest, most impressive and highly treasured vintages from across the globe. Hands-on learning in viticulture, winemaking and wine pairing combine with the stunning setting of this high-end boutique winery to enhance and complete essential theoretical knowledge. There is no doubt the course is one of the most effective, most intensive and best courses of its kind in the world. It’s also a lot of fun! Find out more here.

Gifts for the Wine Lover

If you know someone with a penchant for fine wines, but you’re not looking to send them all the way to Provence, then look no further than this Tom Dixon wine cooler made from stunning blue glass, or alternatively a pewter vintage wine calender which tells your recipient when any wine is at it’s best. Gifting a fine wine to someone whose passionate and know’s the subject is difficult, so these gifts are safe bets that they’ll be appreciated in any case.
