Brass pencils, velvet sofas and future heirlooms: The AnOther team unwraps their dream gifts...

The Fantasy Sofa 
"Inspired by our AnOther's Lovers piece on pink velvet interiors, I am coveting this midnight-blue velvet sofa from Anthropologie. There's something sumptuous and Marie Antoinette-esque about it, and I hope it would encourage me to fill my house with other suitably beautiful objects." – Daisy Woodward 

The Keepsake 
"A work of beautiful simplicity by fine jewellery designer, Lia Di Gregorio. I love how the pearl nestles underneath the ring." – Laura Bradley 

The HB Upgrade
"Because everyone needs a really good pencil in their lives. This one writes beautifully, and comes with a brass cap so it won't go blunt in your bag. To me the best gifts are special versions of the mundane things you use every day." – Nancy Waters 

The Pyjamas Dreams Are Made Of  
"To wear to parties, not to bed." – Holly Hay 

The Literary Treasure 
"Ask the Angels is a rare and brilliant book, which captures the fragility and romance of youth." – Ellie Grace Cumming  

The Chic Satchel 
"What better gift to give (or recieve) than one that grows more beautiful as the years pass? Mansur Gavriel's pink crossbody bag represents the perfect distillation of that to me; it's lovingly manufactured in Italian leather and as it ages, the sugared almond pink of the vegetable dye used to colour it grows softer and more tangible. I'd present it alongside a coin-purse in the same colour for the ideal pairing – Christmas is a time for indulgence, after all!" – Maisie Skidmore 

The Statement Shoes 
"Nothing screams "shoe frivolity" quite like a pair of quilted leather gold mules by Gucci. I like to imagine them being worn (and enjoyed) with a pair of floral-print silk pjyamas and a velvet tuxedo jacket." – Natalie Rigg

The Hero Bag 
"The ultimate combination of yonic and chic, Prada's Inside Bag is the ideal gift for the discerning woman. I am completely obsessed with its two-compartment system, and the super-saccharine pink contrasted against the fleshy beige is perfect. If I were to give it, it would be reluctantly relinquished, but what a present to put under the tree." – Olivia Singer
