GIFT LIST

‘Real generosity toward the future lies in giving

all to the present,’ said Albert Camus. The phi-

losopher may have had more abstract themes in

mind than the act of giving super-luxe presents

to a newly married couple, but his words add

cachet to the notion of the blockbuster gift. A

David Linley surfboard mixes beauty with prac-

ticality. A portrait commission from artist Jonathan

Yeo will be a true time capsule; ditto, on a sen-

sory level, the ‘Together’ service at Floris, which

allows couples to create their own scent to wraith

their married life. The ultimate present, of

course, would be a cruising vessel from Princess

Yachts, with the hope they invite you along.
