Christmas is coming guys, and it’s not going to be long before you’re lost in a world of expensive gift wrap and sellotape. In the interest of making things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my top online picks for you to give, or add to your Christmas wishlist in a big ol’ Christmas gift guide!
Starting with gifts for her, there’s so many great affordable gifts on ASOS at the moment. This Mermaid Blanket is on my wishlist in grey, isn’t it beautiful? It comes in a whole range of colours so you’re guaranteed to find one the mermaid in your life will love. This Works have knocked it out of the park again with their Sleep Together kit – perfect if you know a stress head or insomniac. I think the same person would love this Let Me Sleep PJ Kit, it’s so cute! Every good sleepyhead needs a good coffee cup, I love this one from Paperchase, it’s so cute.
If you know any Marie-Kondo fans, I’d definitely recommend picking up The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving A Fuck by Sarah Knight, an entertaining and somewhat poignant read. Monki do the cutest eye masks, for your friend who is not a morning person, and this little REN Gift Set is perfect for anyone who loves a good pamper. This gorgeous baby pink scarf is on my Christmas list, it’s the perfect addition to any winter wardrobe. This beautiful grapefruit soy based candle would be the perfect gift for sisters, friends and workmates alike, and the cute concrete container would be a great brush holder when the wax is all burnt up. And I can’t imagine any girl not loving these cosy pyjamas.
If you’ve got a gal pal who loves to travel, these lingerie bags from Ted Baker would make a gorgeous luxurious gift. For your gym bunny friend, this cute water bottle is an inexpensive but thoughtful gift. Haircare fiends will drool over the Bumble and Bumble Favourite Things Kit – this would be a great stocking filler too, or one to split up and dish out amongst your friends. Everyone loves a bit of gold, and this Whistles Coin Purse is a beautiful luxurious gift to give that won’t break the bank (another one that’s on my wishlist!).
I can think of about ten people who’d love the Let’s Do Brunch cookbook, me included! I’m a big fan of The Balm’s Meet Matte Hughes liquid lipsticks, so this set of neutral shades is a must have for any beauty lover. And I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t love to get this Copper Luxe Hairdryer from GHD.
Moving on for gifts for the man in your life, something I always find trickier – why are guys so hard to buy for?! I’ve picked out quite a variety of things so hopefully you’ll find something amongst all these things! You can never go wrong with a good quality washbag, they’re the sort of thing that need replacing every few years anyway, and this Herschel one is gorgeous. If your man wears a suit day to day, this tie pin would be a great stocking filler. Watches are tricky, but this matte black number is a safe bet. This leather belt is a nice midrange gift, good quality but reasonably priced. If you’ve got a food fan to buy for, check out the Hangover Recipes Cookbook, which would also be a great stocking filler.
Scents are quite a personal thing, but you can’t go wrong with this Korres Eau de Toilette, which is smoky and quite masculine, but very delicious. Outdoorsy types will love these espresso cups, which give you all the campfire feels, even if you’re using a Nespresso machine. If you’ve got a DIY-er on your hands, check out this awesome Reinventing Ikea book for all the homeware hacks. These wool gloves are a luxury essential for anyone on your shopping list, and this merino wool sweater is gorgeous too.
Men like nice underwear too, and this three pack of boxers is a great gift for your other half – Con always asks for a pack of these at Christmas! If you’ve got a man who’s into his skincare, this Elemis Cleanser is a great one product wonder. This khaki merino wool sweater is a great wardrobe staple, in a slightly different shade to the usual! Another one for the suit wearing gentlemen in your life, this textured tie is a gorgeous gift! I love this See America book, a great one for your traveling outdoorsmen. And lastly, if you’ve got a dapper gentlemen on your hands, check out this gorgeous umbrella, which has something a little Mary Poppins-esque about it!
I’ve put all these items into one big Pinterest Board, so you can find it all easily, and I’ll continue to add things as I see them, so make sure you’re following me over there!
What’s on your Christmas list this year?
