For Her Everyday Wardrobe: Knee-High Boots

Knee-high boots are one of the most useful gifts you can give for autumn and winter. They work with jeans, midi skirts and knit dresses, from the office to the weekend.

The Saint Darla tan leather knee-high boots have gold-toned buckles, an elasticated back and a concealed side zip, on a 3 cm stacked heel. The boot is approximately 41 cm tall, with a shaft circumference of approximately 36 cm that has some stretch.

If she prefers a softer finish, the  Saint Marlowe brown stretch suede long boots have gold eyelet studs down the shaft and a 3 cm block heel. For a sharper look, the  Saint Emilia black stretch napa kitten heel boots have a pointed toe and a 6 cm kitten heel.

For Nights Out: Party Heels

If she has Christmas parties, dinners or New Year's Eve plans coming up, a pair of leather heels is a gift she can wear straight away.

• For long evenings: The  Saint Toria tan suede bow slingback pumps pair tan suede with a satin bow, on a kitten heel of approximately 6.5 cm.

• For dinners out: The  Saint Vorela studded black leather heels have gold-tone studs and adjustable buckle straps, on a slim 7.5 cm mid heel.

• For statement nights: The  Saint Brittany studded cage gold leather pumps have a pointed toe and a cage of studded straps, on a slim stiletto heel of approximately 9.5 cm.

For Party Season: Fur-Cuff Ankle Boots

A fur-cuff ankle boot adds texture to dresses and tailored trousers through the party season.

The Saint Marvella fur-cuff ankle boots come in crust leather with a faux fur cuff, a pointed toe, a flared kitten heel and an inside zip. Choose  Marvella in brown with a beige cuff, or  Marvella in black with a black cuff. See more styles in our  fur boots guide.

For the Woman Who Has Everything: A Leather Handbag

A handbag is one of the easiest leather gifts to get right, because there's no size to worry about.

The Tesorina black hand-woven leather hobo bag has a hand-woven front panel, a padded leather handle and a detachable gold-toned chain strap, with a zip top and a cotton lining. It measures 37 × 22 × 10 cm and also comes in  pink blush, coral and  white.

For something smaller, the  Halsey white hand-woven leather bucket bag has a drawstring opening, a padded leather handle and a detachable chain strap, and measures 25 × 17 cm. Browse all  handbags and accessories.

Stock may be limited, so check the product page before you order.

For a Wardrobe Staple: A Leather Jacket

A leather jacket works across the seasons, over a T-shirt in spring and a knit in autumn.

The  Saint Kinsley black cafe racer jacket is made from black hand-painted crust leather, with a round collar, zipped cuffs and two zipped pockets. For a cleaner front, the Saint Neve black leather collar jacket has a snap collar, a button and zip closure, and a satin lining.

For something with texture, the  Saint Venessa is a biker jacket in stone-embossed black suede leather. For outfit ideas, see  how to style a leather jacket.

Leather Anniversary Gifts for Her

Leather is traditionally associated with a couple's third wedding anniversary, which makes a leather gift a thoughtful way to mark the occasion.

• If she loves a statement piece, a hand-woven leather handbag is a gift she'll notice straight away, with no size to get wrong.

• If she dresses up often, a pair of leather heels works for an anniversary dinner and the occasions that follow.

• If she prefers everyday pieces, knee-high boots or a leather jacket are gifts she'll reach for week after week.

The same ideas work for birthdays, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. A leather gift suits any occasion when it matches her style.

How to Get Her Size Right Without Asking

The hardest part of buying shoes or clothes as a gift is the size. Here's how to get it right without spoiling the surprise.

For boots and heels:

1. Check the size printed inside a pair of shoes she wears often. The boots and heels in this guide are listed in UK sizes 3 to 8, but available sizes vary by product, so check the product page before ordering.

2. For knee-high boots, the calf matters too: Compare a pair of tall boots she already owns with the boot height and shaft measurement on the product page. Our knee high boots sizing guide explains how.

3. For heels, check our heels size guide.

For a leather jacket:

1. Borrow a jacket she wears often and that fits her well.

2. Lay it flat and measure the bust (armpit to armpit, then double it), the back length and the sleeve.

3. Compare those numbers with the size table on the product page. Our women's jacket size guide explains more.
