An iconic Valentine’s gift comes in the form of Lulu Guinness’s timeless design. The Lips small clutch is our current favourite, the ideal size for a date, adding a flash of glamour and sauciness with its glossy finish and detachable gold chain strap. A signature of the brand that will never go out of style, but comes into its own at this time of year.

To provide the incredible care they have successfully performed in more than forty countries around the world, they rely on the contributions and donations of supporters and fundraising campaigns. For their latest campaign, times to coincide with Valentine’s Day, they’ve asked some of the world’s best known actors, musicians, artists and public figures, (everyone from Kate Moss and Sienna Miller to Dame Judi Dench and Jill Scott have donated) to share their own heart designs, up for sale now in now available in an online auction and available at an exclusive live auction at Saatchi Gallery last night, hosted by art patron Maria Sukkar. We are feeling the love for rockstar couple Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne’s design which went under the hammer last night. There’s still time to bid and buy in the online auction, until February 14th. A Valentine’s gift with real heart.

It’s Valentine’s Day a week today, and if you haven’t already got a thoughtful gift for your special someone, we thought we’d step in with some romantic objects of desire this week. First up is our new obsession, a divine scent from Jouissance Parfums. Jouissance are innovators in the field, drawing inspiration from erotic female-centred literary works, and combining scent with art in an entirely new and delicious way. This scent, En Plein Air, blends citrus notes with the rain – does it get any better? – and pays homage to Catherine Millet, and her 2002 hit erotic memoir. Oh and of course the feeling of grass on bare skin, too…

Golbergh is the Dutch luxury sportswear brand for women who know. Founded in 2009, it is now worn by athletes and active women in more than seventy countries. We don’t think it gets much better than this softshell ski suit in dazzling blue with its retro vibe and incredible features for the snow: stretch lining, RDS certified down and Primaloft padding, zippers, pockets and snowcatchers galore, and fashion forward details like the belt and contrasting side stripe. You’ll feel confident in this, even if it’s your first time in salopettes.

Ski season is upon us! If you’re heading out to the slopes, look no further than The Wick’s go-to brand for skiwear, Perfect Moment. The brand’s history dates back to 1984, when it was founded in the mountains of Chamonix, by extreme sports filmmaker and professional skier, Thierry Donard. The brand specialises in high-performance, luxury skiwear that fuses technical excellence with fashion. We are enamoured with this Piste merino wool sweater, a long-sleeved turtleneck that’s ideal for layering and comes in the colour of the season, burgundy.

We love a designer high street collab at The Wick, and the latest to attract our attention is this capsule collection by Anya Hindmarch for Uniqlo. Riffing on the collection’s title ‘An Eye for Curiosity’ – which is really our vibe – these playful socks feature a quirky embroidered round-eye detail. The rest is the usual heatteach high performance quality you’d expect, with Heat of Absorption technology, a great base layer for the mountains. We’ll be packing a pair in every colourway (there’s four available).

We are eternal fans of all things Paul Smith here at The Wick, and we couldn’t resist this notebook, which borrows the brand’s Signature Stripe design. It’s a classic lined notebook for all your musings but with the finest extras – gold foil page edging and a black ribbon marker, finished with a gold PS signature. Enough to turn you into a poet.
£295
Digital calendars are fine – but nothing really beats putting pen to paper and inking those plans in. If you’re going analogue with your diary this year, then go for the best: Smythson stationery never fails. The Wick picks this supple and snappy diary for 2025, with appealing features like the tactile crocodile-embossed Mara leather, a gold slide closure, and gilt-edged featherweight paper in a gorgeous pale blue hue. If this doesn’t get you organised for the year ahead, nothing will!

Start your new year resolute and organised with The Wick’s special stationery picks this week. A handy ballpoint pen is a handbag essential, and this special edition Caran D’Ache ballpoint pen emblazoned with iconic artwork by the late, great Keith Haring is far more interesting than a bog standard biro. It’s all in the details.
