Our Editors Put Together the Perfect Gift Edit From & Other Stories
Sponsor Content Created With & Other Stories
If there's anything we're particularly skilled at over at Who What Wear HQ, it's putting together an edit of exciting, covetable buys, and that expertise really comes into its own at Christmas. Whether we're assembling a Christmas gift guide, looking for the perfect party outfit or planning what we want to add to our own wish lists, we always know where to look to find the high street's very best.
When it comes to giving and receiving gifts, we can spot a winner a mile off, and if you're tired of getting a pair of socks under the tree, consider this the guide for you. After thinking long and hard about what we'd actually like to unwrap this year, our editors decided on one store that always manages to get winter dressing and gifting right, and that's & Other Stories.
Between statement accessories, luxurious beauty buys, fluffy knits and party dresses, there's a lot to love from the high-street hero right now. This year's holiday edit is the ideal mix of opulent and cosy pieces perfect for gifting to your loved ones and, of course, yourself.
While you can always count on & Other Stories for comfy knits and party dresses, there's also a lot to be said about its gift offerings (particularly the beauty gift sets that one of our editors swears by), so if you're compiling a list of your own or looking for some gifting ideas, start by having a look through our top picks from & Other Stories. With prices starting as low as £16, these buys are the perfect excuse to celebrate Christmas in style.

1. The Cosy Coat
"I've been searching for a beautiful wool coat this year, and after doing so much research, I've added this voluminous belted number to my Christmas list. You can always count on & Other Stories to make high-quality pieces that last for years, and this classic design will never age." — Emily Dawes, affiliate editor

A versatile camel coat is a wardrobe staple for good reason.
Tick off two trends at once with a tailored coat with a belted waist.
2. The Statement Shoe
"Having already sold out once this season, these studded slingback shoes went straight into my basket once they landed on the site again. The embellishment sparkles more in real life than the online imagery suggests, and it's more reminiscent of rhinestones than studding when it catches the light. Kitten heels continue to dominate the footwear scene, and the slingback strap and pointed toe give off the best possible '90s vibes. In my opinion, this is the perfect shoe!" — Maxine Eggenberger, assistant editor

London girls rely on them, and we're obsessed with them. It looks like 2022 is the year of the chunky Chelsea boot.
3. The Unconventional Christmas Jumper
"There's nothing not to love about a chunky, oversized, soft knit as soon as winter rolls around. Every Christmas, without fail, I ask for (and receive) the jumper or cardigan that I'll wear for the rest of the winter, and this year, I'm hoping for a party-ready jumper that goes from desk to dinner in style. Pearls, crystals and fringing are not only welcomed but also encouraged." — Remy Farrell, shopping editor

Just when we thought this fluffy mohair knit couldn't get better, we noticed the rhinestone detailing.
Pearls! Fringing! Backless! All the hallmarks of a party starter.
Every wardrobe should have a knitted dress this winter, and this one is a playful evening option.
4. Elevated Accessories
"When it comes to the festive season, I firmly believe that jewellery is a girl's best friend. Whether it's a statement earring that instantly elevates a shirt and jeans, stacks of glittering gold rings to help show off a new manicure or a simple yet stylish necklace that works well with a classic jumper, great jewellery is the finishing touch to just about any winter look. I particularly love & Other Stories's offering this season, and while I own plenty of pieces already, I'm hoping to find this gold cuff under the tree on Christmas morning." — Poppy Nash, managing editor

We wouldn't blame you if you thought these were at least three times their price tag.

5. Luxurious Nightwear
"Nightwear! Maybe it's my age or the fact that I'm absolutely desperate for a good night's sleep, but I've become fixated on upping my pyjamas and sleepwear game. Whether it's a cute pair of pj's or some sassy feathered slippers, this little luxury goes a long way in boosting my mood." — Hannah Almassi, editor in chief

Pop on with the matching shirt and make the most of the chilly Christmas period curled up indoors.
Cosiness is king throughout winter, and everything you wear (even underneath) should be all about comfort first.
6. The Beauty Essentials
"I love the smell and texture of this moisturiser, so I'm super happy that there's a matching sugar scrub. The light hints of coconut, vanilla and caramel calm me after a stressful day, and the bronze pearls give me a subtle glow, which helps lift my mood in the winter months! I'll be gifting this to all my friends this year and hoping that it makes its way into my own Christmas stocking!" — Sophie Cookson, insights manager
