The5Things
Five things that keep showing up in Unwrapd collections.
Some things have a way of coming back.
Across different people's collections, different cities and completely different tastes, there are a few things we keep seeing.
Five, in particular.
The restaurant you've been meaning to try
Saved by more than one person. For good reason.
Most saved · Brutto, Farringdon
Bistecca alla fiorentina and the pici cacio e pepe
A Florentine trattoria off Clerkenwell Green. Turns up in four collections this season, always with the same note attached: order the pici, and book early.
About £40 a head
The thing you'd never buy yourself
Which is exactly why someone should.
Cumbria Crystal
Grasmere decanter and tumblers, hand-cut
Mouth-blown in Ulverston, cut by hand. Sits in collections for months precisely because nobody quite talks themselves into buying it.
£390
The place everyone wants to go
The bookmark that becomes a plan.
Vora · Santorini
Five cave suites, one terrace, the whole caldera
Saved by people who have never met each other. Two nights minimum, and everybody books the third.
From £310 a night
The beauty thing that actually works
The recommendation that keeps getting passed around.
Augustinus Bader
The Rich Cream, 50ml
The one people re-buy rather than replace. Heavy enough for winter, and the only jar that shows up in three collections at once.
£230
“I've seen this in three different collections.”
The wild card
The thing that makes someone's collection feel like theirs.
From one collection only
Niche Zero single-dose grinder, in walnut
Nobody else has saved it. She has opened it eleven times. This is the item that tells you who the collection belongs to.
£645
