A treasure trove of rare books, seacharts, atlases and maps, a foray into Crouch Rare Books offers a wealth of gifts and inspiration for the armchair explorer in your life. Take a step back in time with this highly decorative map, a great rarity by famed mapmaker John Seller. It is believed to be the first of New England created for his 1676 ‘Atlas Maritimus’, although only one copy featuring this map still remains. At the heart of the elegant engraved map is a dramatic scene, showing the Colonists and the local Indians firing on each other, while details include a vignette of an Indian village, warriors, and native animals, in a style first seen in Blaeu’s ‘Nova Belgica’, 1635; the Royal Coat of Arms, and a dedicatory cartouche to Sir Robert Thomson; degrees of latitude and longitude in the border; and a scale of miles to ’80’.La Pavoni Diamantina, espresso machine

Long regarded as a master of coffee makers, La Pavoni’s styish Diamantina is a semi-professional espresso machine like no other. With high-spec technical features including dual PID control, BPPC flow control system, and cool-touch steam and water wands, it promises exceptional performance alongside elegant, aesthetic appeal. Ideal for budding baristas and coffee aficionados, it’s the ideal accompaniment to leisurely weekend mornings. Why brave crowded coffee shops when you can create the perfect espresso at home? Anatomē, reed diffuser

While December’s whirlwind of social commitments is full of frivolity and fun, it can also mean late nights and little sleep. To combat it and keep calm, we love modern apothecary Anatomē’s Somali Frankincense sleep spray. Used for centuries in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties, its essential oils promote relaxation and reduce stress, making it an excellent choice for enhancing sleep quality and emotional well-being. Also available in an elegant reed diffuser, the large one-litre bottle makes a sophisticated and serene addition to any room.
