What to buy this week

Here are some of this week's must-haves...

Seasonal scents
Never mind chestnuts roasting on an open fire or even the mouthwatering smell of turkey, this year the definitive aroma of Christmas is Diptyque's divine pine-scented candle (£45). All the joy of a Christmas tree with none of the vacuuming. (020 7224 4948)

Brr-Brora
Shearling-lined mittens may be flying off the shelves but as anyone who has tried to type/eat/use a phone in a pair will confirm, they are far from practical. Luckily for us, Brora has designed a lux range of wrist-warmers (£45). Pick up a pair at its new shiny new flagship, which opens this Friday. (Symon Street, SW1)

Dear Diary
Fancy spending £200 on next year's diary? Neither do we. Introducing Undercover, our new stationery crush. It offers a selection of reclaimed leather diaries at beautifully low prices. Our only headache was deciding on a colour. (From £21.50, undercover uk.com)
