The 12 Days of Sophmas | Day 2 | Festive Gift Guide For Her
Hi lovelies!It's day 2 of the 12 Days of Sophmas! I usually am a fairly organised person, until it comes to Christmas shopping and it all ends up being in the last two weeks... it's the same every year. For those of you that didn't have everything done by the 1st of November however (you laugh, but theres people I know who were!) I thought it could be handy to make a few little gift guides. Think of it as giftspiration!
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love giving christmas gifts. From the late night shopping under sparkly lights with cinnamon coated treats to the wrapping extravaganza when I get home, I just love it. I thought that i'd start with gifts for 'her'. Whether thats your mum, your best friend or your favourite Auntie, hopefully i've covered all the bases!
1. Jo Malone | Cologne | £39
Jo Malone is a brand that i'd always thought was the reserve of mums but after a recent trip to a counter I was most definitely proven wrong. Not only do Jo Malone fragrances smell absolutely gorgeous, but it's probably some of the best customer service i've ever had. Each fragrance can be layered in order to create your own signature scent and the sales advisors are more than happy to help you choose the best combination for you or whoever you're buying for. The products, even when you're not buying as a gift are presented beautifully in a white branded box with a black ribbon which means that half of your wrapping is already done for you! My personal favourite, as featured here is the Blackberry and Bay fragrance, it smells absolutely divine and lasts amazingly on the skin but the variety of scents is amazing so I definitely recommend having a sniff!
If you spend a lot of time reading magazines or blogs, chances are, you would have seen one of these beautiful watches adorning the wrists of fashionistas and bloggers alike. Not only are the watches dainty and feminine with a gorgeous vintage feel but they have the added detail of stunning faces. In this case a beautiful hummingbird. It's a little bit different from any other watches on the market. If your recipient loves the quirky, the beautiful and the downright adorable, this is the gift for them. It is a little pricer than the others in this guide, but as they say, a watch is forever, not just for Christmas!
3. Chambers and Beau | Satin Rope Charm Wrap | £10 + Charms (which start at £10)
I bought one of these for one of my best friends, Gammon, last year for Christmas along with a matching one for myself and had an 'S' on one side of the charm and an 'L' (for Lauren...her actual name!) on the other. It's such a gorgeous item, fab quality and it comes in a variety of colours. It fits in perfectly with the stackable bracelet trends around at the moment and for the price, you really can't go wrong. It also comes beautifully presented in a little satin pouch inside a little box and you can choose your charm and what letters or words you'd like hand stamped onto them. A perfect little personalised gift.
This cute little natural cotton wash bag would be perfect for someone like me whose constantly travelling! Not only is it practical, being a fab size for all your travel sized products but it also has a handy internal pocket for those little bits you don't want rolling around in the bottom of the bag. On top of that it has 'You Look Lovely Today' printed on the front, an adorable message for the recipient to see every time they open their suitcase. The company, as the name would suggest, specialise in letters which they produce on everything from iPhone cases to Travel Card holders, definitely worth a look.
5. Sass and Belle via The Distinguished | Love Print | £14
For the homeware fiends amongst us, Sass and Belle do some of the loveliest framed prints to adorn those walls in need of a bit of facelift. It's a classic image given a little bit of a modern twist with a bright pink print. At £14 it's so reasonable and would look fab on a wall of mixed frames and pictures.
Stay tuned for my next guide, for dads, boyfriends and the other men in your life!
The charm wrap is lovely, its my Sisters birthday not long after Christmas and that would be perfect for her!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely Christmas.
