Christmas Gift Guide For Her Take One

I can hardly believe it’s that time of year again. Hasn’t it just been?! Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no getting away from it. It’s time to jingle your bells kids. With that comes Christmas shopping. I personally love to shop for gifts and I do it all year round.

The shops are bursting at the seams with a million and one gift ideas and it can sometimes make it all a little overwhelming! I’m hoping to be able to be your festive fairy god mother with my gift guide for her, and help you find the perfect gift. Whether it be for your other half, Mum, sister, aunt, gran, BFF or secret Santa, you’ll hopefully find something here for everyone.

All of the gift ideas I’ve chosen to include are all things I’d personally love to unwrap. That way I feel I can put the best guide together for you.

Some gifts are always popular and well received, for me they have to be pyjamas, a dressing gown, and slippers because I can’t get enough of cosy things. I’m not including these as such, but they all definitely deserve some honourable mentions.

As I went so overboard with ideas for ladies in your life I have split this post into two. So I give you part uno.

Skincare, Bath & Body

Jo Malone Limited Edition Pomegranate Noir Cologne 100ml

Another perfect gift, perfume. Pretty much everyone wears some sort of scent so it makes it such a great, universal gift. Jo Malone is a favourite of mine and I always feel a bit more special with a spritz of their cologne. Pomegranate Noir is one of their best sellers and so perfect for this time of year. A beautifully seductive scent which is ideal for both day and night. It is long wearing and it smells divine!

What’s more, this Christmas Jo Malone have lovingly packaged their permanent scent in a stunning gold glittery bottle! How could you be anything other than delighted to unwrap this beauty on Christmas morning?!

Liz Earle The Supercharged Ritual Gift Set

Give the gift of glowing skin with the gorgeous set from Liz Earle. Included within the set is the brands iconic Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml, complete with two muslin cloths. In addition you also get Instant Boost™ Skin Tonic 50ml, Superskin™ Face Serum 10ml. This three in one set will leave the lucky ladies skin perfectly cleansed and free from dirt and grime. Toned and prepped thanks to the skin tonic and finally incredibly hydrated from the serum.

L’Occitane Hand Cream Collection*

Having tried and tested many, many hand creams over the years I can safely say that none come close to the L’Occitane shea range. My hands suffer with terrible eczema and this works wonders. Winter weather is no friend of the hands. Is there a woman alive who doesn’t rely on a trusty hand cream at this time of year to achieve nourished hands? I have about 5 tubes in my bag at anyone time, and in my car, drawer at work and all over the house!

Caudalie Vine Body Butter Set

This is such a beautiful put together gift, I really love the packaging. As I mentioned when talking about the hand creams, winter can be harsh on our skin. It’s more important than ever to make sure we take a little more care and this set is the ideal answer. A richly nourishing body butter and a hand and nail cream. Baby soft skin: Check.

This set includes a Vine body butter 225ml, and a hand and nail cream 75ml.

Molton Brown Muddled Plum Festive Shower Gel Bauble

Molton Brown are in my humble opinion the ultimate brand for indulgent bathing. They have the most incredible scents, and each Christmas they wow with a stunning limited edition scent. This year they gave us Muddled Plum, complete with an abundance of shimmer. It smells like bottled Christmas! An absolute delight to behold, and what’s more, it comes in the cutest bauble bottle, encased in a gorgeous silver glittery box! The perfect gift for those long hot soaks.

Beauty

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette

Buying for a beauty junkie? Look no further. This latest offering from Urban Decay, and part of their much-loved Naked palette collection is ripe for the picking. I give you the Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette. Filled with 12 pans of gorgeous eyeshadow ranging from mattes, shimmers and satin finishes. The shade range is a real treat for plum and pink lovers.

Illamasqua Antimatter Lipstick – Asteroid*

What colour is more closely associated with Christmas than red? None that’s what. As a beauty lover, a red lipstick is a staple at this time of year. Illamasqua have formulated a gorgeous none-drying, creamy and comfortable matte lipstick, hence the name. This shade is Asteroid and it is the most beautiful deepened red colour. I’m a bit biased as red and berry tones are my jam, but any woman who loves a lippie would be sure to love this one.

Jewellery & Accessories 

Ruby & Oscar Princess Cut Sapphire Pendant*

In my experience from gifting and receiving, you can’t go far wrong with the gift of jewellery. It makes such a special and thoughtful gift as it is something that can be kept for a long time. I absolutely adore this classic sapphire gem stone necklace. A simple yet classy piece of jewellery that can be worn for any occasion.

A piece like this is a real asset to any jewellery collection and what girl doesn’t love jewellery. Everyone’s a winner.

Adexe Freerunner Petite Watch – SnowWhite*

A gift that can be enjoyed and worn long after Christmas. A watch can add the finer details to any outfit and take it from an 8 to a solid 10. As they say, the devil is in the detail! This gorgeous time piece can be perfectly paired with any outfit. With it you also get a second strap so you can alternate between two colours. Made from hand polished stainless steel and the finest quality Italian leather strap it feels luxurious, and comes beautifully presented.

Sudio Niva Wireless Headphones – White*

Possibly not quite as universal as my other gift ideas within this post, but a great idea for some nonetheless. I personally adore listening to music, especially at the gym and there’s nothing worse than getting you arms caught in the cables! Well no more with these wireless headphones that fit snuggly inside your ear. Ideal for on the go for the music lover in us.
