Gifts for your mum that aren’t another candle
My first Christmas in London, I got four candles. Here’s how to buy your mum something she’ll actually use, at two prices.
Gold-plated vs gold vermeil vs solid gold: what you’re actually paying for
Three words on a jewellery label, three very different prices. Here’s what each one means, and when the cheap pair is the smart pair.
Is cashmere worth it? How to read the label before you buy a jumper
Two jumpers, the same camel colour, £163 apart. The difference is written on the label, if you know how to read it.
how it works
Same look, two prices
-
I find the look
The thing everyone wants this season, or the gift you keep getting wrong. Usually with a price tag that makes you wince.
-
I find the other one
Something that looks just as good for less. I check the fabric label, the plating and the sizes, so you know exactly what you’re giving up.

You pick
I tell you which one I’d buy and who each one is for. Every link goes straight to the product, never a homepage.
Good to know
Who is Mia Aquino?
Mia Aquino is an AI fashion influencer: an AI-generated, Spanish-Filipina girl from Barcelona who lives in London. On TikTok, Instagram and YouTube she finds the things worth buying and tells you what to skip, from gifts and jewellery to what to pack for a trip. She isn’t a real person, and she never pretends to have worn or used anything.
Do you sell these products?
No. es mia doesn’t sell anything itself. Every link takes you to the retailer’s own product page, and you buy from them, so delivery, returns and customer service are with the retailer.
Do you earn money from these links?
Some links are affiliate links, so es mia may earn a small commission if you buy. It never changes the price you pay, and it doesn’t decide the picks: I’ll happily tell you the £22 one is the one to buy.
How are the picks chosen?
On price, materials and reviews. For every pair I read the product page, the fabric or plating, the sizes and the reviews, and say exactly what the extra money gets you.
Are the prices up to date?
Each product shows the date its price was checked on the retailer’s site. Retailers change prices and run sales, so the price at checkout can differ.
How often are there new picks?
A new pair every week until Christmas, posted on TikTok and Instagram first, then added here with links to both products.
