New Year, New You! Must-Have Self-Care Finds from Bond Street

By Lucie Muir

With January comes the usual new year resolutions and good intentions – many of which, sadly, will be broken before the month is out. But let’s stay positive! What better time to take stock of things than with the promise of a new year? To help you stay on track, head straight to Bond Street, where you’ll discover the perfect yoga outfit, perfume and more to see you through January and beyond.

Be put through your paces under the expert guidance of a personal trainer at the gym in Brown's Hotel. Whether you want to improve stamina, develop muscle tone or increase flexibility, take your pick of several personalised one-on-one training sessions. These include a 60-minute single-person training session, £180, as well as a course of four 60-minute sessions, £600, both designed to help you shift the Christmas excesses and achieve your New Year's fitness goals.

For those of you embarking on a gentler path to health and wellbeing this year, investing in a new yoga kit can be good for the soul. Stella McCartney's TrueStrength Yoga Sports Bra, £80, and matching 7/8 leggings, £100, are cut from soft modal recycled-polyester-blend fabric. The added stretch will help you perfect your downward dog in comfort and style.

If you live in the UK, where sunlight is in short supply at this time of year, your skin could probably benefit from a little boost. Dr Maryam Zamani, the founder of MZ Skin, brings her three-step philosophy of Reveal, Enhance, Protect to Claridge's Spa through a selection of award-winning facials. For instance, the 30-minute Express Glow, £150, combines gentle exfoliation and multi-masking with hydrating and brightening products to create a glowing complexion.

Whether you’ve pledged to broaden your mind by listening to more informative podcasts and audiobooks, or to learning another language via an app, a new pair of headphones is a wise investment. Bang & Olufsen's new Beoplay H100 over-ear headphones, £1,299, are optimised for Dolby Atmos surround sound and provide next-level noise cancellation.

Travelling to new and exciting destinations is a classic New Year's intention. If, however, your well-worn suitcase requires an upgrade, this streamlined Classic Cabin case in silver from Rimowa, £1,130, is just the ticket. Designed to fit most airlines' overhead compartments, the design boasts riveted high-gloss aluminium corners and handmade leather handles.

The latest shades are a must when upgrading your après ski look or jetting off in search of some much-needed winter sun. This pair of silver T-bar sunglasses from Alexander McQueen's Pre-SS25 holiday collection, £330, are notable for their sassy cat-eye frames and adjustable nose pads which ensure the perfect fit.

Make the latest beauty essentials part of your 2025 self-care manifesto. This month, Gucci launched its innovative new volume and curl mascara, Le Magnétisme, £31. Now, achieving intense black lashes and a bold full-fan effect is easier than ever, thanks to the curved brush design featuring 247 bristles in two different spike lengths.

A new scent will also give you a little boost this January. The freshly launched Burberry Her Eau de Parfum Intense 100ml, £145, follows hot on the heels of 2024's aromatic Burberry Goddess scent. With top notes of wild strawberry and heart notes of orange blossom, it can't help but shake any post-holiday blues by transporting you to warmer climes.
