A Royal Family inspired gift guide with the royal stamp of approval
Since 1840, the British Royal Family have bestowed Royal Warrants on their favorite trusted companies. I curated this Royal Family inspired gift guide of brands with Royal Warrants months before HM Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. It includes companies not only beloved by the Queen, but also by the late Duke of Edinburgh and the current HM King Charles III.
So here’s my selection of gifts with the royal stamp of approval…
Royal Family Inspired Gift Guide: 2022
01. Bentley & Skinner Regency Colourless Earrings. First up is a pair of luxurious earrings from London-based fine jewelry house, Bentley & Skinner. This are far out of price range for most, but I couldn’t create a royal family gift guide without including some bling, right? These are truly fit for royalty.
02. Penhaligon’s Perfume Discovery Set. This Leading Ladies Discovery Set is the perfect introduction to luxury fragrance house, Penhaligon’s. The set features small bottles of five favorite fragrances. For those desiring more strong-bodied scents, they offer The Showmen Discovery Set as well.
03. D.R. Harris & Co. Lip Balm. Next up is a perfect stocking stuffer. The D.R. Harris apothecary dates back to 1790—making it the oldest pharmacy in London. You can’t go wrong with this soothing cocoa butter lip balm.
04. Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Champagne. Several champagne producers carry the Royal Warrant. However, I’ve chosen this bottle of Laurent-Perrier, as its the champagne of choice for so many of my couples on their wedding day. It’s a classic choice!
05. Smythson Correspondence Cards Set. I was so disappointed to see this beautiful ribboned card set is now sold out. But I still wanted to include it on the list! Smythson has a wonderful collection of correspondence cards. They each provide a perfect canvas for a heartfelt, handwritten note.
06. Charbonnel et Walker Pink Marc de Champagne Chocolate Truffles. Another stocking stuffer is the box of decadent truffles. The description states: “A luxurious white chocolate truffle with a hint of strawberry and a creamy milk chocolate Marc de Champagne centre, all rolled in a little powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.” I have nothing more to say…
07. Burberry Canvas & Leather Tote. Thomas Burberry’s enduring design house is a favorite of the royal family and luxury fashion lovers worldwide. This dainty canvas and leather tote is a classic, neutral addition to any wardrobe.
08. Fortnum & Mason Famous Tea Selection. For the tea drinker in your life, you can’t go wrong with this selection of teas from Fortnum & Mason. It includes six of Fortnum’s most famous teas.
09. H.R. Higgins Ltd. 1942 Blend Coffee. Launched in 1942 in the midst of World War II, H.R. Higgins continues to be a favorite choice for coffee enthusiasts—and among the royal family as well. This 1942 Blend has tasting notes of chocolate, cherry, and hazelnut. It’s perfect for the holiday season!
10. Halcyon Days Square Trinket Tray. A perfect little accessory for everyday life. This ivory trinket tray is crafted from English bone china and features a delicate gold trellis pattern.
11. Lock & Co. Hatters Peacehaven Panama Hat. A wardrobe staple from “the best hatters in the world.” This Peacehaven Panama hat will have the recipient—and you!—dreaming of a sunny getaway.
12. Dartington Crystal Flutes, Set of 4. This set of crystal champagne flutes makes a perfect host or hostess gift. They are classy, elegant, and beautiful crafted.
13. Fresh Flowers from Moyses Stevens. Another classic choice for a host or hostess gift is flowers. And you can’t go wrong with an arrangement from royal-approved Moyses Stevens. Obviously, delivery is only available in London.
14. Cornelia James Leather Gloves with Bow. A timeless pair of leather gloves helps elevate a winter outfit—and keep you warm as well! This dainty pair of handmade leather gloves feature a bow and are available in black, navy, chocolate, and burgundy.
15. Wilkin & Sons Ltd. Tiptree Strawberry Conserve. An essential addition to an English breakfast or afternoon tea. The company received their first Royal Warrant in 1911. Seems as though it’s been a staple at the breakfast table of Buckingham Palace ever since.
16. Women’s Original Short Hunter Wellington Boot. The royal family loves their getaways to Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands. A trusted pair of Hunter boots always accompanies them.
17. Floris London Cherry Blossom Hair Mist. Floris London has been the British Family Perfumers since 1730. This cherry blossom hair mist is a simple yet luxurious product from their wide range of fragrances.
18. Roberts Revival iStream 3. Roberts Radios have filled Britain with music and radio since its founding in 1932. Amazingly, it has evolved with the times and changes in technology—all while maintaining their classic style.
Happy shopping and have a lovely holiday season!
