Royal warrant Christmas gift guide 2019: Presents with the Queen’s seal of approval

A Royal Warrant is given to companies whose products the royal households have used for at least five years. It is often seen as a sign of quality.

Molton Brown

British brand Molton Brown creates delicious-smelling perfumes, home, and bath and body products.

It provides a number of Christmas gift sets for your loved ones, such as the Festive Bauble Gift Set, £35, with three shower gel-filled baubles in scents of “vintage with elderflower”, “bizarre brandy” and “muddled plum.” 

Penhaligon’s

British perfumery Penhaligon’s was founded by a Cornish barber who became Court Barber and Perfumer to Queen Victoria.

Established in 1870, it is well known for its lavish and often unusual scents.

Lavish gifts for loved ones include gift boxes such as the “For The Well-Travelled – Halfeti gift set” £175.

Stocking fillers include the Edwardian Bouquet Luxury Soap, £23.

Or splurge on a luxury gift set, The Perfumer’s Private Collection, for £200.

Jewellery
