Womens Gift Guide

Accessories and small gifts for her

Some of the best gifts for her are also the easiest to get right. The Avedon Sunglasses in tortoise or dark havana add a little polish to any face, the Marlowe Belt in espresso or black leather upgrades something worn daily, and the chainmail silk head scarf ties a look together without asking much of the
wearer. Round it out with a title from Tamsin Johnson's books or a gift card for the harder to please.

Knitwear and gift ideas for women who feel the cold

Knitwear makes a reliably good gift idea for women who already have enough tops. The Daisy Merino Knit brings fine-gauge warmth in moss, the Cass Merino Quarter Zip layers easily under a coat, and the Natalie Knit Shirt sits somewhere between a shirt and a jumper for days that can't decide. The Eloise Cardigan finishes the edit in a soft pure cashmere. Explore the wider knitwear collection for more.

Christmas gift ideas for her and the party season ahead

Christmas gift ideas for her get easier once you factor in party season. The Tamsin Dress in slate blue or chocolate chainmail dresses up quickly for end-of-year parties, while the Crepe Knit Tee Dress and Crepe Knit Shirt Dress in off white offer a quieter option for family lunches. For black-tie invitations, the wider eveningwear collection carries the formality further.

Finish the gift with shoes and gloves

The right pair of shoes finishes a gift as much as it finishes an outfit. The Moire Femme Mule in black or champagne dresses up quickly, the Iris Sandal adds height without losing comfort, and the Pina Ballet Slipper offers a flatter alternative for the days after the party. The silk-lined Regine gloves or cashmere-lined Grace gloves in chocolate round out the gift list alongside footwear.

Wrap it up at a P.Johnson showroom

Some gifts are better chosen in person. Visit us in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, London, Milan or New York, and our styling team can help with sizing, wrapping or steering things toward tailoring altogether. Book a fitting at our showrooms before the Christmas rush begins.

How should I size knitwear, belts or accessories when buying a Christmas gift for someone else?

Scarves, sunglasses and gift cards carry no sizing risk at all. Belts and knitwear are more forgiving than tailoring, so a best guess based on her usual size is normally close, and our team can help with an exchange if it isn't.

What is the difference between the Avedon and Tilda sunglasses?

The Avedon brings a classic, slightly rounded shape in tortoise or dark havana, while the Tilda takes a sharper, more angular line in black or havana tones. Both are built for everyday wear rather than one season alone.

Can a Christmas gift be exchanged or altered at P. Johnson?

Yes. P. Johnson offers exchanges and alteration services in our showrooms, so a dress or knit that runs slightly large or small can be adjusted after the day.

Which fabrics make the best Christmas gifts for women - cashmere, merino or silk?

Merino is breathable and resilient for everyday knitwear, cashmere feels softer and warmer for its weight, and silk adds a lighter, more formal finish to dresses, tops and accessories.
