Who? Waterford
What? While Mad Men has arguably had its moment on television, these Olson double old fashioned tumblers inspired by the series remain just as cool. Created by crystal makers Waterford, they keenly follow the themes of the era while at the same time adding a modern edge. With a luxurious gold band, it’s a set to be coveted. Priced at £125 for a pair.

Who? Royal Doulton What? There’s something lovely about the fact that our spiritual home, London, is also the theme of this set of plates. Designed by Charlene Mullen for Royal Doulton, they capture many of the city’s best features like the London eye or the Gherkin. But, while they’re mostly in black and white, you might be surprised to find splashes of colour here and there. Priced at £35 for a set of four. When? Available to pre-order now Where?

Who? Paul Lukacs What? At times, we can get a little bogged down with what a wine tastes like and how it smells. What we’ve neglected, often, is to find out a wine’s story. Paul Lukacs’ Inventing Wine is not just telling the story of one wine but all wines. It takes the reader through a journey of wine from history to today – a must if you want to know about more than just wine. When? Available now Where? Available in store and online How?
