your dream gift. By simply emailing your

wish list to

the list to your partner. The recipient will

receive an email from Santa explaining that

he’s giving them a helping hand in selecting

the perfect present, gift-wrapping and

even delivering it to an office or home

while they sit back and let Harrods do the

rest. The Gift Wrapping service in Land

of Make Believe has over 60 presentation

ideas and a vast choice of embellishments

from candy canes and cinnamon sticks

to ceramic stars and snowflakes so your

gifts will be perfectly wrapped in time for

Christmas. If you wish to seek out your

own gift but still need a little help, the

Gift Concierge will be on hand to assist.

Whether it’s a rare blend from the Spirits

Room, a personalised notebook or the

latest gadget, Harrods’ experts will know

how to select the gift of a lifetime. For

those really pushed for time, the team will

also take your order over the phone and

deliver the gifts directly to your office or

home.
