Of all the festive gift shops put together by brands, Paul Smith’s assorted collection is perhaps the most vibrant on offer this year. Tapping into its signature colored stripe pattern, it brings forth a range of homeware, accessories and clothing dressed in similarly eye-catching tonal arrangements.

Amongst the holiday offering, the brand also highlights its recent collaborations with the likes of Kask, Rapha and Braun. Like its foundational range, these special edition pieces draw inspiration from the brand’s multi-colored design in a range of playful adaptations while packing in new details and luxury finishes.

Going through the gifting range, Hypebeast pieces together a comprehensive edit of fashion and lifestyle products that deserve to be gifted this holiday season.

‘Motion Blur’ Wasabi Cycling Helmet / £295 GBP (approx. $360 USD)

As part of an ongoing collaboration with helmet specialists Kask, Paul Smith launched its take on the Wasabi edition earlier this year. The high-performance piece is one of the most technical pieces that the fashion brand has put out, featuring adjustable airflow, high-visibility stickers and other functional elements. Bringing a Paul Smith touch to the special iteration, it adorns a dynamic stripe treatment that lends inspiration to the name “Motion Blur.”

Long-Sleeve Cycling Jersey / £170 GBP (approx. $210 USD)

In another cycling-focused partnership, Paul Smith and Rapha came together to drop a capsule collection of staple biking goods. Within the range, each technical garment is crafted with a rabbit print material and matching rabbit embroidery. However, the Jersey top goes one step further in its design featuring sleeves and zippers that are accented with block tones.

Signature Stripe Wool Vest / £475 GBP (approx. $580 USD)

For the traditionalists, Paul Smith brings its signature stripe details to a smart sweater vest. Crafted from 100% virgin wool yarns dyed in various tones, the cozy piece is knitted with a wide-shoulder and ribbed waist to create a modern, tapered silhouette. Make a statement and wear this piece with a black tailored pant or layer it with a t-shirt and blazer for a more pared-back look.

Analogue Alarm Clock / £35 GBP (approx. $42 USD)

Functioning as a morning alarm and an ornamental bedside piece, this minimalist analogue clock draws on Braun’s classic horological products to create a distinctive ‘70s retro look. It takes on a square shape with a round clock face that houses blue, pink and black arms. Keeping the design simple and timeless, the face also features dual branding, detailed in black and white.

Bone China Teapot / £40 GBP (approx. $50 USD)

For the launch of Café Paul Smith in Paris this March, the brand teamed up with multi-faceted artist Alec Doherty to craft a limited-edition tea set. Adorning hand-printed illustrations of whimsical figures and faces, the four-piece drop showcases an aesthetic that carefully blends the identities of Smith and Doherty in its rough doodled lines. Our pick from the collection is the Bone China Teapot which features a gazing woman’s face.

Beach Bat and Ball Set / £85 GBP (approx. $100 USD)

Whether you’re a seasoned table tennis player or simply an amateur, catch your opponent’s eye with this colorful bat and ball set. Made in collaboration with Mediterranean carpentry brand Avora, the sleek set comes with two paddles that feature alternating colors on each side as well as a neoprene carry case and two Fuschia balls printed with Paul Smith’s logo.

Early Bird Scented Candle / £225 GBP (approx. $275 USD)

While the Early Bird candle may be on the pricey side for a home scent, its combination of three-wicks and 1000g of wax ensures you are getting enough bang for your buck. This particular candle blends floral notes of iris and patchouli with suede to create a distinctive post-rain smell. Bottled in a bold blue glass holder with a green lid, place it in the middle of your room as a multi-functional centerpiece.
