Consider it a gift
Choosing a gift for that special someone can be hard, and with everyone’s increasingly niche interests, it can be even harder to find what the main characters of your life really want. Fear not, we have done the emotional labour for you and gathered only the best to gift all your perfectly eccentric loved ones (or maybe just for yourself) in one place. From the friend who is already running late to NYE drinks to your family member with questionable (and potentially problematic) beliefs, no one’s gift will be forgotten this holiday season.
P.S. Did something catch your eye? You can find all the treasures below at Glamcult Store, online and in person.
For your chronically late friend who keeps you waiting:
A melting, otherworldly clay clock dripping in muted cosmic rainbow swirls. Alex Zeta’s Seaculum Clock looks like it escaped from a dream sequence to sit politely on your shelf. It’s functional, but only in the way a surrealist oracle is functional. Void of any hour numbers, this clock won’t help your friend be more punctual, but let’s be real, they wouldn’t check the time anyway.
For the (potentially problematic) family member who claims to have sighted a UFO landing:
Clara Lezla gives us a candle that feels part extraterrestrial relic, part kitschy 90s guardian angel, and a 100% chaotic good. Its neon green skin glows, blessing every room with freaky little vibes. Light it if you dare. Or don’t. It’s adorable even in the dark.
For your friend who desperately needs to touch grass:
This warm, woody perfume blends oud, sandalwood, and cedarwood with soft sparks of saffron, pink pepper, vetiver, and musk. It’s grounding, calming and a little dramatic. The scent version of stepping outside, taking a deep breath, and remembering the world is bigger than that one X thread. Spray it on to re-centre and relax.
For that performative male in your life:
Has your wired earbud-donning, matcha-sipping friend run out of literature to (violently) whip out in public? Then Glamcult #143 has come to your rescue. The perfect addition to canvas tote bags and coffee tables alike. Our latest edition is as intellectually stimulating as it is just beautiful to gaze at in awe, available in three covers: Ashnikko, Earl Sweatshirt, and Rombaut. Choose one or collect them all.
For the friend who can’t make eye contact to save their life:
The Drummer sunglasses are a titanium-wrapped forcefield of cool. These shades are grey, icy, and designed to make you look like you’ve just stepped out of a cyber-noir ski chalet. Complete with acetate accents that glint like frost on metal. Perfect for blocking UV rays, bad vibes, and keeping yoru eyes to yourself.
For your sister who romanticises winter like it’s an indie film:
Bonfire by Marcus Elizabeth is what happens when self-care girlies and Christmas tree elves meet. Existing somewhere between a moss-covered log and a half-smoked cigarette, this roll-on lets you take late-night winter memories out with you year-round. Cosy, smoky and a little mysterious, Bonfire encapsulates the warmth of cosy holiday embers, touching on notes of saffron, incense and amber.
For your sporty friend whose longest-lasting relationship is with their bike:
Save a seat… ride a cyclist? This ribbed, cotton-viscose one-piece hugs like a club fit disguised as activewear. A tonal Lycra accent runs down the back like a hot racing stripe. It’s made for the gym and built to ride… use that information as you will ;).
For the fishy little freak in your life (affectionately):
This cropped poplin shirt is preppy, quirky, nautical, and has a giant shark across the chest (of course). The shirt for someone who wants to look cute but also wants strangers to fear them just a little.
For the snow angel who refuses to let freezing temperatures ruin their aesthetic:
These lacey, spray-painted tights are basically undergarment snowflakes, as each one is unique and handmade. Made in Italy, kissed with deadstock lace in Paris, and ready to twirl you through every winter rendezvous. If your loved one doesn’t find staying warm cute, these tights might just convince them.
For the party girl who refuses to hibernate:
This cocoa-brown lace bodysuit is basically holiday-season armour for hot people. Rhinestone heart buttons? A detachable hood that turns you from mysterious elf to off-the-shoulder temptress in seconds? It’s slinky, stretchy, and ready to shimmer from the pre-drink to the afters. Because we all know frostbite is temporary (right?).
For the corporate goth in your life:
Dressy enough for work yet cheeky enough for after-hours, the Maybole Loafer’s square toe, sleek black leather and low block heel make it your dark coworker’s must-have. All tied together with a moccasin seam that says, “Yes, I read theory AND mosh.”A shoe classic enough to pair with absolutely everything.
