For a luxury Christmas gift in Cyprus, head to Limassol first: City of Dreams Mediterranean and Limassol Marina have the watch boutiques, fine jewellers and haute perfumery within a short drive of each other. Nicosia's luxury shopping is concentrated at The Landmark hotel and on Stasikratous Street, and Paphos has a fine jeweller, a perfumery at the Elysium and hotel spa gift cards. If the person has everything, a gift card for a five-star spa or a rare Commandaria is a safe bet.

Before you buy: how to shop for a luxury gift
- Book an appointment for watches. Boutiques such as Cartier at City of Dreams take private viewings by appointment, which gives you time to compare pieces in peace.
- Check opening hours. Several jewellers close on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and on Sundays, so plan a weekday visit.
- Ask about exchanges and sizing. Rings, bracelets and watch straps often need adjusting. Ask whether the person can change the size or exchange the gift after Christmas, and keep the receipt and warranty card together.
- Christmas Eve is short. Shops must close by 18:00 on 24 December, and stay shut on 25 December.
