Christmas Gift Ideas For Women

It’s now 8 weeks until Christmas, so it it definitely time to start making that list and checking it twice. I’m starting my annual gift guides looking at some ideas for that special woman in your life – wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, whoever that may be.

As ever, please bookmark this post as it will continue to be added to as we get closer to the big day.

Beautiful Jewellery And Hair Accessories From QueenMee

I don’t mind admitting I’m a magpie when it comes to jewellery and accessories. If it sparkles, I’m sold. When I find a lovely new independent brand, I really want to share it, and my latest obsession is QueenMee.

QueenMee is a female led business, the brainchild of Amanda Waterstone Carthy, who uses her background in jewellery design to create wonderfully pretty hair accessories that are a million miles away from your basic bobble and scrunchie. In addition, she has now added brooches to her repertoire, and these should also definitely be on your Christmas wishlist.

My key picks this season are the stunning Art Deco silver hair slides. Deco is the perfect look for New Year’s Eve, and these are bold and beautiful, a real standout. They come as a set of two and truly catch the eye due to the sparkling crystal. They come already packaged to gift, but you may just want to keep them for yourself.

Brooches have made a real comeback in recent years,  and QueenMee have a stunning collection – you will find it hard to choose just one. I adore the Seahorse brooch which appeals to my love of the sea and being at the sea. Made up of  beautifully sparkling blue rhinestones, this would look stunning on Christmas day adorning a blazer or a little black dress.

 

A Body Pamper Gift Set From Odylique

Odylique is a real favourite of mine when it comes to bathtime. A long‑established, family‑run British brand that creates award‑winning organic skincare and makeup, these ate items that are already wrapped and ready to go.

Their products are suitable for everyone, being kind to sensitive skin, with stunning, clean smelling fragrance. My key pick this year is the Body Pamper Gift Set which is a real pick me up for Winter skin. This comprises of Ylang Ylang & Orange Body Wash (200ml) and a Coconut Candy Scrub (30g gift size).

Personalised Mini Prosecco From We Brand Any Drink

I  have added this gift idea as a great choice for women, but this also works very well for couples too. We Brand Any Drink gives you the chance to personalise a gorgeous bottle of mini Prosecco with names, dates and a message on the label.

This is such a cute gift, a great stocking filler, and brilliant to add to a special treats hamper which could also include favourite chocolates and Christmas inspired goodies.

Efamol’s Evening Primrose Oil Dropper

Efamol®’s Evening Primrose Oil Dropper is a lovely gift idea for those who are in search of beautifully smooth and nourished looking skin. This is a quick beauty fix that has a vegan formula can be taken orally or applied to the skin for instant moisturisation. The nourishing formula contains Vitamin E to help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by sunlight and natural processes such as ageing.

Efamol’s Evening Primrose Oil Dropper would be great as part of a beauty hamper for a loved one. It comes b= beautifully packaged and would make a great stocking filler.

Evening Primrose Oil Dropper is available at www.efamol.com, £17.99 for 60ml

Evolve Organic Beauty Dreamy Hydration

Another of my favourite brands, especially when it comes to gifting, is Evolve Organic Beauty. This year they have really delivered with their wonderful gift packages which look great and offer a real solution to skincare problems.

Evolve Organic Beauty call this ‘its most giftable collection yet’. It is a line of beautiful, botanically inspired gift sets designed for skin-loving results and planet-friendly giving. My key product is the Dreamy Hydration set. This is a night time ritual for dewy, replenished skin made up of Kalahari Dream Cleansing Oil (30ml) and a full size Hyaluronic Serum. This has a rrp of £32 for products worth £42.

Beauty Dropz Hair Hero

Edible skincare has become a big news story when it comes to beauty, and BEAUTY DROPZ new products target specific areas of the body to address all your needs. I have been trialing the Hair Hero biotin-rich drops as I am currently suffering with peri menopausal hair thinning and loss. Hair Hero supports thickness, growth, and a healthy scalp from the inside out.The product is Infused with zinc and selenium to help strengthen hair follicles and maintain their integrity, and they taste lovely too due to the grape flavour.

Beauty Dropz cost £14.99 each and are available at Boots.com and Holland & Barrett online.

Rejuvenated Collagen Shots

Rejuvenated’s multi award-winning collagen drink is a blend of hydrolysed marine collagen (10,000mg), antioxidants, vitamins and hyaluronic acid to help boost beauty from within. If you are looking to improve your skin health, this could be the supplement for you as it optimises skin health,  stimulates collagen synthesis, strengthens connective tissue and vascular health. It promises that, within a matter of weeks, you will see a difference in the appearance of your skin. The advanced formula also helps to support healthy joints, muscles, ligaments, bones, and even the brain and heart.

The Collagen Shots 14 Day Gift Box contains handy travel sachets; perfect for those always on-the-go. A perfect Christmas gift for those thinking of giving collagen a try.

A Gift Card From Prezzee

What do you get for the person who has everything? It’s simple, you let them choose for themselves!

Prezzee is a digital gift card which can be redeemed at more than 200 retail and hospitality including John Lewis, Lush, Waterstones and Swarovski among others, making it the perfect gift. You can gift any amount from £5 – £500 and can even include a personal touch via a recorded video message, making this a truly lovely gift idea.

Fashion Books By Gemini Books

For a fashionista, a lovely coffee table fashion tome is the perfect gift. Gemini Books always have a brilliant range of fashion reads, and have lots of new releases just in time for the festive season.

Vivienne Westwood Provocateur by Caroline Young is published next week and is just stunning. It is a thought-provoking biography of one of the world’s most iconic, much missed, fashion designers with lots of exquisite fashion photographs. Perfect for a fan of the Dame, and fashion in general.

If you love the Gemini Pockets fashion books, you’ll be pleased to know the range is expanding. Next month sees the publication date for the pocket Hermes, and the Pocket Tiffany, both brilliant stocking fillers.

Tolpa Dermo Face Rosacal Strengthening Day Cream SPF10

Tolpa is a dream of a brand. It is caring for your skin, offering real relief for those suffering from four common skin issues (acne, rosacea, sensitivity and dehydration). All of these things can flare up over Christmas, so a gift from Tolpa would be a welcome addition to your Christmas stocking.

My key pick is the Tolpa Dermo Face Rosacal Strengthening Day Cream SPF10. This is a fantastic day cream with a lovely, luxurious fragrance. It contains green-tinted pigments to help mask skin flushing and redness and it helps repair the skin’s barrier.

Organic Works 200ml Refill Pouches

If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves eco-friendly beauty, then a refill pouch for their fave brand could be perfect.

The Organic Works refill pouches are eco-luxury stocking fillers. Coming in two amazing fragrances, Bergamot and Lavender, these turn daily routines into spa-like rituals, while being kind to the planet. They are also an affordable luxury treat.

They are 98% natural, vegan, cruelty-free and sustainably packaged. What’s not to love!

Gorgeous Gifts From Temu

If money is a little tight this year, then affordable Christmas gifts are a must. Temu is just a brilliant destination for fashion, accessories and gifts for all ages. You can get lots of different offers if you download the app, and some truly lovely things.

A fluffy dressing gown is a lovely gift idea for the coldest of seasons, and the plush and thick hooded robe below is like a hug in clothes form. I love this robe which comes in beige and is one size (it fits me fine and I’m a 14-16).

Another great idea, maybe for those who love a picnic, or exploring the great outdoors, is the Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask with 2 One Cup Lid Accessories. This is a really cute flask that comes with two little mugs. It is beautifully presented and is perfect for both hot and cold drinks.

Sharing is caring!

Welcome to the world of fashion-mommy, a world of fashion, lifestyle, theatre and fun. Enjoy the ride.
