Sample all six varieties of single-origin artisanal chocolate from the bean-to-bar brand, Land Chocolate. The roasting, winnowing, grinding, conching and wrapping of the bar are handled by the founder, Phil Landers, at his workshop in Hackney, London. Respectfully honouring its sources and the cocoa farmers who dedicate their lives to their craft, Phil willingly pays two to three times more than the Fairtrade price to promote sustainable practices.

A handsome glass teapot from East Fork will be an excellent motivator for him to ditch single-use tea bags. It holds 450ml, making roughly two cups per serving, which is perfect for the afternoon with a book in hand. If your other half appreciates tableware, it is worthy of mentioning that it is made in Tokyo by Hirota Glass, the city’s longest-standing glassmaker.

This oversized V-neck cardigan from Scandinavian brand Nudie Jeans flatters most body types, as the cutting extends the line of focus and gives the illusion of a slimmer frame. It is made with a blend of organic wool and traceable alpaca in a cinnamon brown colour for a seasonless appeal.

These handmade Chelsea boots from Taylor Stitch will make a great addition to any smart-casual wardrobe. The fuss-free construction allows the wearer to slip them on and be out the door in no time.

While breaking into tough boots even with a cobbler requires weeks of wear, the buttery sheepskin lining and foam insole of these boots give them slipper-like comfort right out of the box.
