It is art in its most tangible form — hype that has heart and the magical ability to turn the green Grinch (fine, one’s grouchy family member, friend or the person reading this) pink with happiness. What are we talking about? None other than festive gifts from Hermès that telegraph timelessness, tastefulness and most importantly, precious objects that can stretch into a giftee’s birthday if it falls within our recommended time frame of three months.
