Gift Guide: For a Kate

From items perfect for a long walk through the British countryside to glamorous accessories ideal for a royal engagement, we have pulled together items that nod to every element of her busy life.

English country style staples include wellies, green jackets and
Chris Jackson is one of the best royal photographers of this era, and his book Modern Monarchy is one of my favorites. For the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year, he has released a new book of his photos of just her, which I’m sure will be equally amazing!
Kate has been seen in these earrings so many times, and they come in other colors!
Cashmere in a bold color with a preppy detail - pretty much quintessential Kate!
I love giving a lightly scented candle as a gift and this Jo Malone candle would be nice and bright and is rumored to be Kate’s favorite scent (it’s said she used them at the royal wedding!).
Nothing is more “grand millennial” on built in shelves than a set of cloth bound books. The Penguin Classics have been spotted on Kate’s desk in her home office, and I like the idea of giving the Jane Austen set all together.
A headband in tartan? That’s a royal holiday fashion moment if I’ve ever seen one!
A lip color that the Duchess has been rumored to wear regularly, Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillowtalk is a cult classic for a reason. This minis set is the perfect stocking stuffer.
The Cambridges have really been focused on the environment and I imagine that this compost bucket would fit in with the decor at their Norfolk country home, Anmer Hall!
Kate’s hair is truly aspirational - the shine, the length, the thickness! This gift set from Olaplex is a great gift for anyone working on their hair health. The No. 3 is a holy grail beauty item for Dinah, and the rest of the line is supposed to be just as good.
I can imagine Kate wearing these shearling lined hiking boots for an outdoorsy engagement with skinny jeans and the green waxed jacket! Comfy, cozy and still stylish.
This tote designed by India Hicks (Prince Charles’ goddaughter) is perfect classic British style. Simple, durable, perfect for running errands in the country, or shopping in the city.
Kate loves a plaid moment and this cute poncho gives a fun punch of color that would add flair to any outfit.
For biography lovers and anyone inspired by all of William and Kate’s work with Sir David Attenborough for their environmental initiatives.
Eloise gifted me a slightly different version of this Boden headband last year and it totally elevated my holiday wardrobe. It looks amazing in person and so luxe.
The Queen is a big fan of party games during the holidays (that Ibble Dibble scene in The Crown!), so a classic family game would be the perfect stocking stuffer for any royal or Sandringham guest who wants to curry favor with Her Majesty.
