Why a personal shopping experience makes a better Christmas present

  • A person holding out a wrapped gift

    A gift they'll enjoy

    No guessing sizes or choosing something they may never wear. They get to choose clothes that genuinely suit them, with expert guidance along the way.

  • A clothes rail hung with a dress, a shirt and a folded jumper

    Planned around them

    Before we shop, I get to know their lifestyle, style, budget and what they want to feel in their clothes, so the whole experience is planned around them.

  • A beaming person with a star on their chest

    Confidence that lasts

    They won't just leave with new clothes. They'll understand what suits them, how to style it and how to make better choices long after the session is over.

  • Two shopping bags

    Easy to give

    Choose the experience, add your personal message and receive a personalised e-voucher ready to give. Simple for you, memorable for them.

For partners and grandparents

A Christmas gift for a new mum

Looking for a Christmas gift for a new mum? Give her a personal shopping experience in central London or Oxford: up to 3 hours shopping with me, a Personal Shopper & Stylist, to find clothes that suit her body and her life after the baby.

After having a baby, many mums tell me that nothing in their wardrobe feels right any more. A styling session gives her time for herself and outfits she feels confident in, with pieces from the high street to mid-range, chosen for her budget, needs and lifestyle.

Every Personal Shopping voucher can be used for Styling for Mums. Personal Shopping For Mums is £185, or £275 and £355 with an Outfit Planner of 7 or 14 outfits. It is a digital e-voucher sent by email, so you can buy it last minute.

Choose their Christmas gift

Each experience is completely personal and takes place in person. Personal Shopping is available in central London or Oxford, with options from high street to mid-range brands, while a Wardrobe Edit takes place in the comfort of their own home.

Gift vouchers can be used for women or men, including Styling for Men and Styling for Mums, so you can choose the experience that feels right for them.

And if you're shopping last minute, no problem. Your personalised e-voucher is delivered by email after purchase, ready to print, forward or give on Christmas Day.

How much is a personal shopping experience gift?
Personal Shopping is £185, or £275 and £355 with a 7 or 14 outfit Outfit Planner. The Wardrobe Edit is £185 and Personal Styling Plus Size is £185. These are set prices; a Wardrobe Edit may include a travel charge depending on location, so please contact me before buying one.
Is it for men or women?
Both. Every voucher works for him or for her, and can also be used for Styling for Men or Styling for Mums.
What is a good Christmas gift for a new mum?
A personal shopping session with me, in person in central London or Oxford. Every Personal Shopping voucher can be used for Styling for Mums, to find high street to mid-range pieces that suit her life after the baby. Personal Shopping For Mums is £185, or £275 and £355 with an Outfit Planner of 7 or 14 outfits. The e-voucher arrives by email after purchase, so it can be bought last minute.
How will I receive the voucher?

Is it too late to buy one for Christmas?
It can be bought until the last minute, as the delivery is digital: the personalised e-voucher arrives by email after purchase (Wardrobe Edit: contact me first).
Where does the shopping happen?
In central London (Oxford Street, Regent Street, Marylebone and Covent Garden for the high street to mid-range, and Bond Street for high-end) or in Oxford, at Westgate Oxford and Bicester Village. A wardrobe edit happens at their home in North, West, South or Central London, Buckinghamshire, the Thames Valley, Oxford, Reading or Milton Keynes.
Do they have to buy clothes during the experience?
Not at all. Most of my clients do choose to buy a few pieces, but there is absolutely no obligation or minimum spend. Even if they decide not to buy anything, they'll still leave with a much better understanding of the shapes, colours and styles that suit their body and lifestyle, as well as discovering new brands and ideas they may not have considered before.
Is there a minimum spend on clothes?
No. The experience fee covers my styling service only, not the clothes themselves. Any items they choose to buy are paid for separately, and there is no minimum spend.
What sizes is it for?
The Personal Shopping voucher is for sizes up to UK 16. For sizes UK 16 to 20, choose Personal Styling Plus Size, in-person shopping in central London.
Can they choose when to go?
Yes. They contact me when they are ready and we arrange a day and time that suits them, subject to availability. The Terms and Conditions have the details.
