Fret not - there’s still plenty of time to find something special to put under the tree, says Rebecca Gonsalves
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.“Christmas is all around us,” as Bill Nighy’s aged rocker sardonically informs viewers of Love Actually. But even if some smug shoppers have the festive season all sewn up, it can be daunting picking the perfect present for the fashion-lover in your life.
We know money can’t buy love, but surely it can purchase a bit of comfort and joy, not least in the form of super-soft cashmere. You may have forgotten how long and cold the season was last year, but believe me, it’s long and cold. The receiver of your bounty will no doubt be grateful for being able to cuddle up in something cosy.
The use of neon and colour ranges from subtle to statement, while cartoonish animals add a dash of frivolity to even the most mundane of purchases. Harvey Nichols’ tongue-in-cheek “Sorry I spent it on myself” range of essentials provides the perfect gag gift, but the sentiment that most people opt for at this time of year is one of extravagance and indulgence.
A gift is something special, to be treasured forever – or if not, it should at least come with a gift receipt.
