Most of you should probably be done with Christmas shopping but if you’ve been remiss like I have, Mr Porter actually has some really great last minute gifts (and even if it doesn’t arrive on time, a late gift is better than no gift at all). This year, I got the wife something we could both enjoy (#lingerie – if you’ve not been following my tweets) but honestly, for real brownie points for the inevitable stuff ups that all husbands would fall foul of, I’ve decided on the one gift that is both affordable and luxurious; I’m talking about:

Smythson Crocodile Embossed Leather iPad Case

Surprisingly affordable and finished most opulently in embossed crocodile similar to most luxury goods, this dark brown leather iPad case (or sleeve for you smart alecky types) is the sort of practical yet gorgeous gift that even penny pinching wives would agree is a purchase that falls on the side of “good investment”. Equipped with full leather lining and stylish for both men and women, the press stud closure is a retro welcome to the futuristic “smart” cases hawked at the Apple stores. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift with taste, look no further than Smythson and Mr. Porter. [Shop here]
