THE ULTIMATE GIFT GUIDE (FOR HER)

Girls aren't always easy to buy for, one minute we want something the next we don't. Some times we don't even know what we want, so I decided to put together a few things I'd love to find under my Christmas tree and perhaps it will help inspire you. Plus you could always copy and paste this to your partner to give him a subtle, or not so subtle hint.

The Makeup Enthusiast:

As a beauty blogger it is kind of my duty to love makeup, so this is something I always ask for as gift. I love both high end and drugstore makeup but for Christmas I always ask for those extra special, perhaps a little bit pricier products that I'd typically umm and ah about before buying it for myself. I think this Bobbi Brown rose shimmer brick is a lovely gift, it retails at £33 so a little pricey but if you can't get spoilt at Christmas when can you? Another makeup item I love to receive is a luxury lipstick, I love Mac lipsticks I wouldn't say they are the most luxurious but they are one of my faves and at £15.50 you can ask for a couple. I've also been lusting after Charlotte TilburyChristian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks for a while and think they would make a beautiful gift.

The Luxury Lover:
If your looking for something extra special but a little more pricey then I think Mulberry have an amazing collection of bags and purses. I recently brought myself the Willow Tote and I adore it.  If your really going "all out" and your looking to spend perhaps thousands then a Mulberry bag is the way forward in my opinion. If you are looking for something still really special but a little more affordable then I think this envelope style purse is beautiful to add to anyones collection.

The Fragrance Admirer:

Whenever Christmas comes everyone always opts for a perfume or something and whilst I love getting perfume for Christmas I think it is a bit of an easy one, a no brainer if you like. So I thought a candle or room diffuser made a lovely addition to someones fragrance selection. I personally love The White Company for candles or room sprays. I also love Yankee Candle if your looking for something a little more affordable. If you know someone who really appreciates a nice candle and loves luxury candles then you need to check out Diptyque and Jo Malone. Read more about my favourite scents here.

The One Who Loves Pretty Little Things:
This one is a little more special, it is a keepsake and more personal. I think jewellery is always a great Christmas present, I personally love Thomas Sabo and Pandora when I want to get someone something a little memorable, yet still affordable.

The Hour Long Bathers: Lush do some lovely bath bombs, melts and shower gels. I love soaking in something that smells delicious whilst still being hydrating. I think Lush can make a great secret Santa gift, stocking filler or a main gift. You can either go for a box full of goodies all wrapped ready to go or hand pick bath bombs and other goodies. If your on a budget Lush is an amazing place to start, its always one of my favourite gifts to get.

The One Who's Always In The Kitchen:
Amara kindly contacted me to pick some goodies from their website for my gift guide, so obviously I jumped at the chance. Amara have a great selection of brands from Ted Baker to Kate Spade so there really is something for everyone on their. If you haven't visited their site before, stop what your doing and do it now. They have some amazing products in particular their homeware! Of course when flickering through 100's of pages I come across this beautiful marble chopping board, it retailed at £25, I had been on the hunt for one just like this for ages but they was always out of stock so when I saw this I was excited. It is beautiful, lovely and also good quality. Whenever I walk into my kitchen it just feels complete now. I feel like anyone who loves cooking would really appreciate a pretty chopping board, well I know I do.*

The Creative Mind:

We all know creative minds are usually over thinkers, giving a journal to a creative person is an amazing gift, it gives them a place to let their thoughts and inspirations run wild, I picked this journal from Amara. It is a Kate Spade journal and the second I saw it I fell in love with the simple design. The quality is amazing and the detail is just beautiful. I would love to wake up to this under my Christmas tree.*

The Skincare Addict:
Last month I worked with Mintd Box you can see my review here. I loved the idea of this service, it is a subscription box of all luxury skincare. You could do a one off buy for someone or you could carrying giving them the gift for a month, 2 months or up to a year, the choice is completely yours! I think subscription boxes make a lovely gift because it is something you can keep giving on a monthly basis. However I always find a lot of other subscription boxes are full of a lot of samples where as Mintd Box offer a great variety of luxury samples and full size products, they aren't your average subscription box. Also anyone who's really into their skincare would appreciate this gift.*

I feel like I have covered a fair few gifts here but I love hearing what others would like to receive, so let me know in the comments below something you would love to wake up to on Christmas morning.

Disclaimer: All Items marked with * were gifted to me, however all opinions are honest and my own.

  10. This gift guide is so good, well done, Stacey. I love that you did categories. I have a YSL lipstick on my wish lost, something I wouldn't really buy myself so it's perfect as a gift. And Lush is always a great idea.
    Have a good day

    1. Thank you lovely! I've tried to put as many ideas together as possible and now that you've commented I've just realised I should have added a book for the book lover! Ah maybe next year! Yes I'm the same , typically I wouldn't buy myself anything to pricey but as a special gift it feels a little less "naughty" shall we say.
