🎁The Festive Agenda: Your last minute gifting and holiday planning guide

Published 3 months agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

πŸŽ„ Inside this festive edition:

  • Thoughtful gifts for the corporate girl (and yourself)
  • Female-founded brands we genuinely love
  • Wellness picks to help you feel good through the holidays
  • Festive things to do around London before Christmas

The countdown is officially on, and London is fully in festive mode. With just 8 days to go, this week’s Agenda is a little different. I’ve pulled together last-minute gift ideas, female-founded favourites, simple wellness picks, and a few festive things to do around London (that still have availability!) to help you make the most of the season.

Smart, stylish and useful gifts for work, travel and everyday life.

Thoughtful presents from female-founded brands that make gifting feel more meaningful.

Simple, feel-good favourites to help you stay balanced, rested and well through December.

✨ Join a unique luxury bus tour to see the Christmas Lights around London. With plush seating, panoramic windows and attentive on-board service, creating an atmosphere more akin to a private members’ club than a bus, complete with Γ  la carte menus and fine wine.

πŸ₯Œ Bring a little friendly competition to your festive plans with Swift Stone Curling at London Bridge, with Aperol Spritz flowing throughout. Perfect for groups, after-work plans or an easy, social night out this December.

⛷️SushiSamba Covent Garden has transformed its piazza terrace into a cosy aprΓ¨s-ski escape this winter. Think frosted foliage, glowing lights and mountain lodge luxury, paired with indulgent winter cocktails like Tipsy Cocoa, Espresso Martinis and mulled wine.

πŸŽ₯ Backyard Cinema returns to London with a festive experience that’s more than just a movie night. Wander through an Enchanted Forest filled with live music, Christmas cabaret, cosy bars and surprise performances, before settling in for a screening of a festive favourite.

🎢 Christmas isn’t complete without carols at the Royal Albert Hall. Join one of 15 festive performances filled with traditional and modern favourites, complete with orchestra, choir and plenty of sing-along moments.

❄️ After braving the Christmas crowds on Oxford Street, escape to the rooftop at 1864 at John Lewis. Perched on the 6th floor, this cosy rooftop bar offers city views, seasonal cocktails and private winter igloos complete with soft lighting and snug blankets.

I hope this gives you a little festive inspiration, whether you’re ticking off last-minute gifts or planning a few cosy nights out before Christmas.

Let me know if you try any of these or have your own recommendations from female-founded brands, wellness ideas or things to do at this time of year, I love hearing what you’re loving.

Your friend,
