On the first day of Christmas, Ten Towers gave to me… a job, yes, but also the freedom to dream. And this holiday season team 10 is dreaming big with a Christmas wishlist flooded with Dior, Louis Vuitton, Ginori and more. Perhaps by the 10th day we’ll receive it all! Fingers and toes crossed, Christmas is only around the corner, after all.
Amber Bennett: Junior Art Director
I’m dreaming of this irresistible Bvlgari Celestial Mosaic necklace this Christmas. A radiant, intricate, high jewellery masterpiece that sparkles even brighter than Oxford Circus in December. If it should so find its way under the tree, I would treasure it with delight for a lifetime.

If Santa would ever be so kind, I’d love this leather bomber from Jonathan Anderson’s pre-fall collection for Dior. If butter couldn’t melt, indeed! Look at how buttery soft and gorgeous this is. Tuck it under the tree and I’ll behave… for approximately five minutes. After that, expect me to stride out looking deliciously, unapologetically immaculate. Gimme!
Garth Spencer: Creative Director
The older I get, the more excessive homewares I need: my latest obsession being Ginori 1735 tableware. I have a collection of vintage and current pieces, now – you can never have enough. There’s always a new serving option that is needed. It doesn’t matter what you are eating. Beef wellington or McDonalds fries. Everything tastes way better off a beautiful plate. Santa can you please send me this Oriente Italiano serving platter (the big one) in Citrino or Malachite. I have been really good this year.

All I want for Christmas is discipline… courtesy of Austria’s deluxe destination Mayr Clinic of course. A hard core health and beauty regime? Yes please. The harder the better. From its multi-day gut health and detox plan to its diagnostic and prevention programme, I’m in. But if that won’t do, perhaps I’ll settle for a Louise Trotter for Bottega Veneta SS26 fibre glass coat. Easy peasy to get your hands on, Santa. I’m waiting.
Bella Koopman: Junior Social Media Editor and Fashion Writer
What would Christmas be without a Fruity Booty mini? Bog-standard, that’s what. And so, Santa, if you can hear me, I’d love this double layer mini dress to appear under the tree this year. It’s festive, it’s flirty, and it practically screams, “I’m here to sleigh – preferably with a cocktail in hand.” Go on, big man in red, make my wardrobe merry and bright.
Emily Phillips: Junior Features Editor
Santa baby, slip these Lili Curia Isadora Tall Boots under the tree, for me. I’ve been an awful good girl. But in black leather these Victorian-core kicks, I might just coax out my delightfully naughty side. After all, a lady can only be so angelic when she’s stomping about like a gothic Mary Poppins with somewhere scandalous to be. Go on then, Father Christmas – enable my era-appropriate mischief.
Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou: Global Editor-In-Chief
This Christmas, I’m vying for something a little more experiential. Perhaps a V&A membership so I can peruse all the latest exhibitions, from the upcoming Schiaparelli retrospective to Music Is Black opening in April. I’m all about red letter days. Maybe even an Everyman membership so I can sit back, relax and watch all the indie films and blockbusters alike. I want to check off my bucket list of life. Flying lessons? Yes please. Skydiving? Say no more. Spa retreat replete with all the aromatherapy, acupuncture and gong banging ceremonies? Count me in. I’ll be waiting to see what arrives under the Christmas tree.
Zac Apostolou: Commissioning and Production Editor
Louis Vuitton Sun Song is essentially summer in a bottle. It has been my go to since June. It’s tangy, long lasting and irresistible if I’m being honest. I never thought I’d be that person who would wear a summer core smell in the winter time, especially around the holidays, but I’ve never received as many compliments wearing a fragrance as I have with this one. It’s just that good. I would say go out there and blind buy it if you are in the market for a new fragrance. Or, like me, ask Mr Claus for a fresh one. Come on big man, I know you’ve got a bottle in your big ol’ sack.
Georgia Edwards: Fashion Assistant
As Mariah said, “I don’t want a lot this Christmas, there is just one thing I need”… a lifetime supply of Rhode skincare is all I want this year. From the Glazing Milk to the Pineapple Refresh Cleanser, nothing compares to that Hailey Bieber glow – fresh, dewy and impossibly effortless. I’d even share a few products with you, Santa; we all deserve great skin. Pretty please, slip it under the tree, for me.
Sonya Mazuryk: Fashion Assistant
Hark! The herald angels sing for this utterly enchanting bottle of Maison Francis Kurkdjian L’eau À La Rose this Christmas. Slip it in my stocking please, so that I waft around gloriously all season long… If you do, dear Santa, I can promise some angelic behavior. Naughty or nice? Nice for sure.
