For the holidays, gifting feels most special when it’s intentional—when a piece reflects the wearer and feels like a lasting token of appreciation. This year, Gucci draws from that brief perfectly with a festive curation spanning bags, shoes, accessories and even luggage and leather trunks. From that selection, we zoom in on three standouts: the Gucci 25H watch, a GG wool and silk blanket and the Blondie crystal pendant necklace. Each draws directly from the house’s heritage, turning its familiar codes into a small part of Gucci’s ongoing narrative.
Introduced in 2021, the Gucci 25H signalled the maison’s foray into high watchmaking, drawing on sleek modern architecture and the codes of the luxury sports watch for its case and bracelet. The series is defined by an ultra-thin profile, a multi-layered case and an integrated bracelet with alternating brushed and polished finishes, with the ‘25’ in its name being a recurring motif across the brand’s collections. As a gift, the 25H feels considered: slim enough to slip under a shirt cuff, with a sculpted case and metal bracelet that give it a jewellery-like finish. It is a way of giving something that fits naturally into someone’s everyday rotation, while still reflecting Gucci’s sharper, contemporary side.
For the home, the GG wool and silk blanket translates those same codes into a textile that can move between rooms and seasons. Crafted in Italy using a jacquard weave, it showcases the GG pattern on a woolsilk blend with fringed ends, offered in tones from ivory and grey to Gucci’s Rosso Ancora red. The monogram has been part of the house since the 1960s, when the double G—honouring founder Guccio Gucci—first appeared on accessories and canvas as a marker of its expanding global presence. On a blanket, that history becomes more tactile: a daily object that carries the story of the house into someone’s living space.
The Blondie crystal pendant necklace completes the trio, with the Blondie line reviving a rounded take on the interlocking G, first seen in Gucci designs from the early ’70s and recently reintroduced on the Cruise 2025 runway. In its crystal pendant form, the cut-out Round Interlocking G hangs from a chain with baguette crystals and, in some iterations, a resin pearl drop. It sits close to the collarbone, placing one of Gucci’s most recognisable emblems at the centre of the look.
Seen together, these pieces show how Gucci’s holiday selection leans on continuity: a watch that underlines its watchmaking ambitions, a blanket that brings the GG story into the home, and a pendant that draws directly from the archives. In the end, they turn the act of gifting into something that is intricate and intentional, grounded in the design language that runs through the house.
