Make like The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-Joy and face off with a family member over a stunning equestrian-themed Hermès chess set, or consider a gorgeous bone China teapot for the Da Hong Pao lover in your life
What is a new year for if not to take up a new hobby or start a new chapter in style? As we find ourselves hunkering down indoors with our families at the dawn of 2021, why not treat them a little more than usual? Challenge a family member to a game of chess, Queen’s Gambit style, or enjoy the cold weather and indulge the skier in your family with some new kit for the slopes. And then there’s the classic winter gift anyone would be grateful to receive: the cashmere scarf.
Whatever your family is into, they’ll appreciate STYLE’s edit of the perfect gift options for your loved ones this new year.
