For the one who loves a long bath, a proper cup of tea and a night in, these are gifts under £50 that still feel special. There’s a harlequin hot water bottle by CHICKPEA for the friend who’s still holding out on the heating, a porcelain shell soap dish by Minnie-Mae Studio for the bathroom shelf, and the Café Cecilia cookbook from Phaidon for the one who’d happily spend all weekend cooking.
Each one is picked with a particular person in mind, the kind who likes nice things and actually uses them. Gift something lovely this Christmas.

Our Monthly What’s On is a curated round-up of the exhibitions, restaurant openings, residencies and gigs we’re making plans for. From gallery shows and design fairs to new tables worth booking, cultural moments to catch, and the under-the-radar events you’ll wish you’d heard about sooner.
Think of it as your cultural compass for the month ahead: a considered edit of art, food, music and design, chosen to inspire weekends well spent.
November is the month London turns the lights on at four and goes indoors. The good news is that indoors is where everything is. Three major painting shows open within a fortnight of each other, a new museum opens in a market that’s been shut for thirty years, and the restaurant openings have moved somewhere they can be seen from a bank. Book the exhibitions now. The walk-ins can wait.

What’s On In November

Surfer Ainara (@ainaraymat) lives in Zarautz, twenty minutes along the coast from San Sebastián. We followed her between the two, from the coffee bar she starts the day in to a pintxos counter where nobody sits down. These are the places she keeps going back to, and the ones most visitors walk straight past.
With Magic Capture on Google Pixel 11 Pro, she films the wave and pulls the stills out afterwards, so she can watch the water instead of the screen.

Hot Takes is a new monthly series on the things that make life better. Our creative director, Laura Jackson, lends her lens to a tightly edited selection of what’s worth knowing about. This week: Condiments.

Glass is the thing most of us buy in sixes and replace in ones. A tumbler from the supermarket, wine glasses left over from someone else's wedding list, a jam jar doing duty for water. The nine brands in this edit are the case for choosing it: a London label's glasses made from broken windows, sweets blown in Copenhagen, coupes from a Tuscan pottery family on its fifth generation, a carafe from Sydney with a star on the base, vintage Murano picked one piece at a time in France. Some of it is for drinking from and some of it is for looking at. Here's who to save.

Squash, game, the first proper apples. October is when the kitchen starts earning its keep.
Summer cooking is assembly. Slice a tomato, add salt, take the credit. October asks a little more of you. The oven goes back on, the pans get heavier, and things are allowed to take their time.
The reward is a month of genuine abundance. Here is what to buy, what to do with it, and what to cook this weekend.

What's in Season: October

Interiors people have a name for it: the unexpected red theory. Take a calm, considered room and add a single red object that has no business being there. A lamp. A vase. A tin of tomatoes left out on purpose. It works because it shouldn’t. The eye goes to it first, and the rest of the room looks more intentional.

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

October is the month London stops pacing itself. Frieze lands mid-month and drags the entire art world with it, the film festival runs for twelve days either side, and the big autumn exhibitions open in a cluster in the first fortnight. Book the things that need booking now, and leave a weekend free for the ones that don't.

What's On In October

Sir Paul Smith has been a shopkeeper since 1970, when he opened a room in Nottingham that traded on Fridays and Saturdays only. Fifty-six years later he still works the floor on Albemarle Street on a Saturday, which tells you most of what you need to know. His London is a small one, and it is walked. Bury Street for the galleries, Holborn for the Soane, Claridge's at Christmas, Covent Garden for a shop that sells enamel dustpans. It is the list of a man who has spent fifty years looking at things and deciding which ones are worth keeping.

Paul Smith's Guide to London

The centrepiece has been demoted. In its place: the salad bouquet, a vase of lettuce or kale arranged stem-down. Little Gem, lola rosa, a wedge of radicchio for colour. Edible flowers are optional, though nobody who has come this far tends to leave them out.

CEO & Founder of Papier shares his guide to Florence.
"As a student of History of Art, Florence was never really optional. This is the city where the Italian Renaissance more or less begins, and every lecture at Uni referenced it. I've been coming back ever since, usually to look at the same handful of paintings and eat in the same handful of resturants. It's a small city and very walkable, so skip the 2 hour queue for Michelangelo's sculpture of David and spend the time on getting to know the city more intimately."

The distance never changes. Twenty-six miles and 385 yards, whether you run it through a city centre or up the side of a mountain. What changes is what you look at while you cover it, and in a few cases the entire point of the day. These are runs for the setting: a closed coast road in California, the vineyards of the Médoc, a moraine below the Eiger. Several are harder than any city marathon. All of them are slower, which is rather the idea. Most take a ballot, a flight, or both, and entries tend to open a year ahead.

Every August, the same thing happens. Someone in your group finally confirms dates, everywhere is booked up, and you're left refreshing flight searches at 11pm wondering if it's too late. It isn't. It just means being smarter about where you look - and, this time of year, smarter about where everyone else already booked. Short-haul enough to book this week and fly next, without landing somewhere that feels like everyone else's holiday too.

We all know summer changes (and raises the stakes of) a London date. The city stays light until ten, the pavements fill up, and suddenly "drinks?" feels like a wasted opportunity. This is a list for doing it properly - organised not by postcode but by the kind of date you're on. The nervy first coffee. The ice cream that's really an excuse for a walk. The wine bar where things get interesting. The spot that becomes a permanent fixture long after the first, third and fifth date. And, naturally, for when it matters, somewhere special. Twenty places, five categories, one long summer. Use accordingly.

Where to go for summer dates in London

Good renovation advice is almost always retrospective. You have to make the mistakes first. Room by Room is a new series from Glassette where we ask designers and homeowners to walk us through a single space: what wasn't working, what they spent too much on (and whether it was worth it), and what they'd tell you before you pick up a sledgehammer.
In the heart of London sits a slice of Iran in restaurant form. Persian decor adorns the interior of Berenjak Mayfair, which opened its doors earlier this year. It's described as "busy, buzzy and intimate" by Jake Raslan and Lorenzo Buscaroli, the minds behind the interiors – and we're inclined to agree.
With an expansive budget, the pair were able to bring to life stunning details, from a hand-painted ceiling by a specialist decorative artist, inspired by historic Persian miniatures, to bespoke marble mosaic floors in the toilets and elegantly draped curtains. The devil is truly in the detail when it comes to the Mayfair dining spot.
An endeavour that took more than a year to complete, a great deal of time, sweat, bespoke tiles and love were clearly poured into the space. On the food front, guests are treated to an immersive experience, with a kitchen that spills into the dining space, allowing them to watch stone-baked bread and smoked meats being prepared in real time.
We caught up with the brains behind the project to uncover the most expensive details, why handmade craftsmanship really is worth the investment, and whether they have any regrets.

Tennis has never really needed much - a net, a rectangle, someone to hit with. Which makes it all the more striking when a court ends up somewhere extraordinary. The ones on this list weren't built for convenience: they're carved into cliffsides, tucked inside deconsecrated churches, and laid out on rooftops above the Paris skyline. A clay court suspended over the Tyrrhenian Sea. A converted chapel in Milan where the rallies happen beneath vaulted ceilings. A lone court in the Serengeti with an audience of giraffes. Whether you play or just appreciate a good view, these are eight courts worth crossing the world for.

8 Most Beautiful Tennis Courts

The shell has spent decades being filed under "holiday souvenir" and not much else. That's over. Scalloped edges are turning up on lamps and mirror frames, mantelpieces are swapping their usual ceramics for conch and clam, and entire chandeliers are now being built from them - somewhere between a cabinet of curiosities and a beach house, minus the sand. It helps that the appeal was never really in question: no two shells the same, no improvement required. This isn't a coastal trend so much as good taste finally catching up with something the sea got right first.
