Self-Gifting Guide: Gifts Worth Keeping For Yourself

Cashmere & Knitwear Worth Keeping

Soft, warm and easy to wear, these pieces quickly become part of the weekly rotation. At Rise & Fall, we focus on premium natural fibres and considered blends, from A-grade Mongolian cashmere to fine Merino wool, chosen for softness, warmth and lasting quality.

Women's Finest Cashmere Mid-Weight Crew Neck Jumper

A roomier, weightier take on our classic cashmere crew. It's made from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere with a softer, more substantial handfeel, exactly the sort of knit that makes being sensible about gifting difficult. 

£225

Women's Wool Crew Neck Cardigan

A classic crew-neck cardigan in wool, simple enough to work across the rest of your wardrobe. Button it up and wear it as a knit or leave it open as an extra layer.

£140

Women's Wool V-Neck Jumper

A straightforward wool V-neck made for layering over a T-shirt or shirt, or wearing on its own.

The sort of knit that doesn't require much convincing.

£140

Men's Finest Cashmere 1/4 Zip Jumper

One of those pieces that makes a strong case for buying two. The quarter zip is knitted from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere in a midweight construction with a softly brushed finish. 

£190

Men's Finest Cashmere Mid-Weight Crew Neck Jumper

Made from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere in a heavier, more relaxed shape, this is the winter version of the crew neck you already know you'll wear all the time.

£250

Men's Cashmere Merino Fisherman's Rib 1/4 Zip Jumper

The classic quarter zip with more texture. A Fisherman's rib knit adds depth, while the Merino-cashmere blend keeps it warm and soft.

£185

Men's Cashmere Merino Stand Neck Jumper

A clean stand-neck knit in 70% Merino wool and 30% A-grade Mongolian cashmere. The structured collar adds warmth without making the shape feel heavy. 

£175

Merino Wool Loop Knit 1/4 Zip Jumper

A new-season take on the quarter zip, with loop-knit texture adding a little more interest to naturally warm, breathable Merino wool.

£175

Soft Layers For Doing Very Little

Some purchases are easier to justify when their main purpose is making home more comfortable.

Women's Cashmere Merino Bandana

Lightweight yet warm, our Cashmere Merino Bandana is knitted from 70% Merino wool and 30% Mongolian cashmere in an oversized triangular shape. Wrap it, knot it, or layer it over a coat when you need extra warmth.

£95

Women's Silk-Cotton Pyjama Set

A silk-cotton pyjama set is firmly in the category of things you may intend to gift and then decide would look considerably better in your own wardrobe.

Lightweight, soft and designed for evenings in and mornings with no particular urgency.

£185

Women's Merino Cotton Reversible Sweatshirt

A relaxed sweatshirt made better with a Merino-cotton blend and reversible construction, giving you two ways to wear the same easy layer.

£145

Small Luxuries For Yourself

Give yourself a little pick-me-up with some new fine accessories.

Women's Oversized Finest Cashmere Wrap

Some gifts are simply too useful to give away. Knitted from 100% A-grade Mongolian cashmere, our Oversized Finest Cashmere Wrap is generously sized for draping over your shoulders, wrapping up on colder days or keeping close when travelling. Lightweight, warm and naturally breathable, it’s an everyday luxury with a very good cost-per-wear argument.

£195

Women's Skinny Pony Hair Belt

A slim belt with a tactile pony-hair finish, designed to add texture without overpowering an outfit.

£85

Women's Cashmere Merino Bandana

Lightweight yet warm, our Cashmere Merino Bandana is knitted from 70% Merino wool and 30% Mongolian cashmere in an oversized triangular shape. Wrap it, knot it, or layer it over a coat when you need extra warmth.

Women's Silk Printed Cravat

A small piece of silk can do quite a lot. Tie this printed cravat at the neck, add it to a bag or use it to bring a little pattern to otherwise simple layers.

A soft Cashmere Merino wrap finished with twisted fringe, designed to be thrown over the shoulders or wrapped generously around the neck.

£175

Something For Home

Self-gifting doesn't have to mean another addition to the wardrobe. Here are some great gifts for your home.

Candles

A candle is perhaps the easiest thing to add while supposedly shopping for somebody else. Light it at dinner, beside the bath, or whenever the room could use a little more warmth.

Our candles at Rise & Fall are hand-poured in the UK from a natural wax blend. Choose from a range of beautiful candle scents.

Which Candle Suits You Best?

• Pick Ecru Denim if your partner enjoys soft florals and clean musk.
• Pick Lichen Cashmere if they prefer mossy woods, vetiver and earthy notes.
• Pick Navy Suede for sweet spice, cedarwood, suede and tobacco

£40

Polyphenol Rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our single-estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from cold-pressed, early-harvest olives in Andalucía. Fresh, green and peppery, it's best used generously over the things you're already cooking. 

£25 for 500ml / £65 for 2L

Organic Cotton Muslin Lumbar Cushion Cover

Sometimes the quickest way to make a room feel different is to change one small thing. Designed in collaboration with House of Grey, this generously proportioned lumbar cushion cover is made from 100% organic cotton muslin, giving it a soft, naturally crinkled texture that feels relaxed rather than overly styled.

The muted Seaweed green and Chamomile options bring quiet colour to a bed, sofa or reading chair, while the long 90 x 40cm shape adds interest among more conventional square cushions. A thoughtful self-gift if you want to refresh a room without completely rethinking it.

£45

Cotton Velvet Quilt

A good quilt earns its keep well beyond winter. This one combines the depth and softness of cotton velvet with a breathable European flax linen reverse, creating an all-season layer with two very different textures.

Generously sized at 180 x 270cm, it works across double to super king beds, adding gentle weight when you want another layer and rich Mineral Blue colour when the room needs one. The sort of home gift that makes an ordinary early night considerably more appealing.

£140

Crisp & Cool Organic Cotton Duvet Set

Fresh sheets are one of life’s more dependable pleasures. Even better when they’re made from exceptionally good cotton. Our Crisp & Cool duvet set is woven from 100% extra-long staple organic cotton in a breathable 400 thread count percale — smooth, cool to the touch and particularly welcome if you tend to sleep warm.

Choose amongst 12 colourways, each adding character to the bedroom without disturbing the calm, while practical details make the difference night after night: a deep fitted sheet with elasticated corners, plus duvet ties to keep everything neatly in place. Using it night-after-night this might be your most used and appreciated gift for yourself.
