Christmas Gift Ideas for 2018

Holiday season is finally here, and while it brings with it the promise of all things fun – parties, presents and playful time – it can also bring some stress when it comes to finding the perfect gifts for the ones we love and care for.

But don’t worry – if you’re stuck in a rut when it comes to finding the right presents this Christmas, I’ve got you covered!

Everyone knows that a girl can never have enough makeup, and cosmetics are a good place to start when it comes to gifts for the lovely ladies in your life. You can’t go wrong with a good, multi-purpose eyeshadow palette like the classic Naked 3 by Urban Decay, or the Rosy Nudes Eye Palette by Esteé Lauder.

Alternatively, a good makeup brush set always comes in handy, and the Pro Essential Teddy Bear set by Too Faced is perfect for the festive season, with its gorgeous pink and gold tones, and makeup case to match! A gift card for a subscription service like Glossybox is always a failproof gift as well – I know I would absolutely love to receive on.

For ladies (and gentlemen) who are looking to spruce up their skincare routine, a great, high-quality tool will always be appreciated. The Foreo Luna cleanser is a keeper, and the mini version is great for people who travel regularly.

And if it’s haircare that is top-of-mind for this friend or family member, you can’t go wrong with the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer (loved by men and women alike!) or the Dyson Airwrap for those gorgeous, luscious curls.

Ladies who love accessories will always appreciate a beautiful jewellery box to go on their dresser, like the stunning Blush Pink one by Stackers, which comes with handy compartments as well, or a handy jewellery stand to organise their day-to-day baubles – again, Stackers has a fantastic rose gold option which can be used for necklaces, bracelets and earrings – what’s not to love? Better yet, why not gift your loved one a unique piece of jewellery – if you can personalise it with their name or something that is meaningful to your relationship with them, even better!

The Louison Crystal Stud earrings by Swarovski make an excellent gift for a girlfriend or sister, as do any of the minimalistic piece by modern brand Missoma. If jewellery isn’t what you’re looking for, a gorgeous scarf is always a thoughtful gift, and a valuable accessory in every woman’s wardrobe.

Cashmere scarfs come in handy for the cold winter weather, while bolder ones like Cobalt/Orange piece from Chesca can be used to spruce up a dull outfit, tied to a handbag for some extra oomph and doubled up as a wrap and coverup when on vacation. A girl can never have too many!

If you’re looking for the right gift for your favourite homebody, or simply someone who appreciates a good scent, candles are always a safe bet. Jo Malone is top-of-mind when it comes to heavenly candles that are delightful to look at as well – I’m currently loving the citrusy Lime, Basil and Mandarin one, while The Pomegranate Noir scented candle makes a great unisex option.

Kitchen tools and accessories are great options as well – a pair of statement shot glasses like the lovely copper ones by Tom Dixon, a nice cheeseboard for the perfect spread or bold, stand-out crockery are gifts that will be loved and well-used.

Books are always a thoughtful gift. If you don’t know which title is next on their reading list, opt for a universally-loved piece of literature.

Popular titles like Sapiens: A Brief History of Human Kind by Yuval Noah Harari (excellent choice for non-fiction lovers!), or Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert (a sure-fire favourite for anyone who has a creative bone in their body) are definitely the way to go. Try to list out the topics, people and activities that your friend or family member is interested in, and find the best titles in categories that are relevant to them.

If you have a slightly higher budget, tech products are always an excellent choice! The Apple watch is a gift that almost anyone would love to receive, and if you have a health fanatic in your life, a Fitbit is definitely the way to go. These are gifts that they will use every day, and will last them for seasons to come as well.

And finally, for those people who just “have everything” – gift them an experience that they will remember for life. Websites like Tinggly.com allow you to find and gift the perfect experience to your loved one – everything from canyon jumping to romantic horse rides on the beach, and so much more. They have something for every budget and every type of person, so you are bound to find something for the loved ones in your life – give it a go!

Christmas trinkets like baubles make excellent stocking stuffers, or gifts in their own right – if you can get them personalised, even better! Alternatively, you can even fill the baubles with small gifts, making for a delightful and fun surprise when they are opened.

Above all, ensure that you make quality time for your family, friends and loved ones this season – gifts will come and go, but memories will last a lifetime. Merry Christmas!
