So I previously outlined why Christmas meant so much to me and I’m like a child in the months running up. To put it simply, it’s the most magical time of the year where we gather round to celebrate the importance of family and friends. Quality time has been such a priority in my family, we’re so close knit and therefore all give each other such tailored presents. So I thought to myself during the months of August and September, why develop a gift guide for him and her, when there could be a gift guide in one place for all your needs. There’s something for everyone, from stocking fillers, decorations to main presents.
Advent Calenders
With the rise of the advent calendar at its strongest, I thought I’d share my two beauty favourites so far, which is the 12 Days Of Crabtree Evelyn Advent Calendar, as well at the Ciate London Mini Mani Month. Both gifting you or a close one goodies for every year as an extra boost of excitement as each day passes.
Crabtree Evelyn contains the following hand therapy fragrances: Caribbean Island Wild Flowers, Citron & coriander, Frosted Spicewood, Goatmilk & Oat, La source, Lavender & Espresso, Pear & Pink Magnolia, Pomegranate & Argan Oil, Red Berry & Fir, Rosewater & Pink Peppercorn, Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage and White Cardamom.

The Jewellery Magpie
The magpie loves garnishing themselves with beautiful jewellery for the ultimate party experience, dazzling everyone with their gorgeous accessories. I’ve included a few Christmas pieces that will satisfy every person who likes to get glammed up.
Starting off with the Glitzy Secrets Precious Heiress Necklace, which would make a little black dress pop with a sophisticated neckline. My other top pick is the Forties Beauty Clip On Earrings for those who don’t have any piercings.
Some ladies love silver, some love gold, and some love rose gold! So I’ve compiled a list of my favourite pieces for every rose gold lover from Ted Baker – the favourite amongst all of rose gold.
Thinking ahead for spring and summer of next year, every girl needs floral jewellery to compliment their beautiful shoulders, so I think the Siero Swarovski Daisy Lace Necklace would be an exceptional gift for any lady. To go hand in with the Seah Daisy Lace Bracelet, Parsia Crystal Cuff, and Cassea Cupid Arrow Heart Ring
One of my newest favourite shops to buy jewellery that will keep memories forever is Jewellery Box, who have the vision that you can buy real jewellery at costume jewellery prices. I love stacking rings, like most of my friends, so I’ve been in love with the Sterling Silver Laurel Leaf Roman Ring (which I actually use as a normal finger ring, because if the shoe fits…) For the simple, delicate rings the Jewellery Box Amethyst Ring is perfect for a subtle statement. Otherwise if a statement cocktail ring is the calling then a Black Agate ring makes a great ring for date nights. I was born in July, so I always like to remind myself of my favourite stone which is a Ruby, in a combined with a twisted rope. A month ring makes a lovely gift for any lady, who likes to stack her rings in a subtle way. Finally one of the renowned pieces off jewellery for anyone with wandering eyes for the world, would love a St Christopher Necklace, to keep them safe throughout their travels.

The Perfume Lover
This is where things get majorly serious for all the girls who love their perfume, so I’ve compiled the favourites of the year including some my personal go-to scents.
Regina Eau de Parfum from Moresque is a floral and marine composition inspired by the story of a noblewoman who lived in the late 1800s. Cinnamon, carnation, marine notes and jasmine are accented with top notes of bergamot and ylang-ylang essence and sensuous base notes of patchouli, vetiver, musk, amber, vanilla and sandalwood.
One of my go-to scents is from the Jimmy Choo Christmas Gift Set it’s such a feminine and empowering scent. The seductive arrangement is a modern chypre fruity, with green top notes, tiger orchid, sweet toffee caramel and Indonesian patchouli. The packaging and the surfaced glass bottle is designed by Mellon herself. She was inspired by Murano glass and enthusiastic with so much attention to the appearance, so that it would be desirable and appropriate for your nightstand.
Ruth Mastenbroek Firedance: Rejoicing in each moment of contentment in life. In Firedance, Ruth presents a scorching, modern interpretation of the classic rose perfume, as exotic leather dances in surprise harmony with the main character – smouldering Damask rose. Set against a warming backdrop of oudh and patchouli, a shining amber note radiates from the skin in this memorably intimate and sexy perfume.
COACH Christmas Gift Sets : A spirited, sensual scent that symbolises a resolutely contemporary, independent woman. It is afloriental fruity scent inspired by the spontaneous energy and chic downtown style of ‘New York’ city. A fragrance full of contrasts, Coach eau de parfum opens with bright, sparkling raspberry which gives way to creamy Turkish roses, before drying down to a sensual suede musk base note.
Cartier La Panthere Eau De Parfum; A captivating fragrance that reveals a free-spirited and passionate woman. A feline-floral accord born from the fusion between a radiant and delicate gardenia with sensual musky notes. At the heart of the bottle, an internal sculpture draws the fascinating and majestic panther.
You know if you constantly read this blog how much I blubber on about YSL Black Opium and why it will always situate on my dressing table. Black Opium through Fragrance Direct have a new gift set with the scent of glam rock fragrance full of mystery and energy. An gourmand floral with notes of: Black Coffee – for a shot of adrenaline; White Florals – to instantly seduce; and Vanilla – for sweetness and sensuality.
I’ve recently become aware of Scent Addict that provide aftershave and perfume monthly sampling subscription boxes, so for my first scent I’ve got Gucci Bloom, which smells simply mesmerising. Envisioned as a thriving garden of flowers, Bloom is created to unfold like its name. Notes of natural tuberose and Jasmine leave an unexpectedly rich white floral scent on the skin. Rangoon Creeper, a plant that changes colour when it blooms, infuses a powdery, floral edge.
Cult fragrance from the 90s, Tribe has been relaunched for today’s young ladies! Alluring and addictive, Tribe is designed to suit every woman and make their life full of colour. Opening with a bright cocktail of juicy fruits, a delighted bouquet of rose, jasmine and orange flower brings the femininity.

The Makeup Maverick
The makeup maverick indulges in the best makeup products, this lady can also slot hand in hand with the lady of beauty, making her the queen of beauty. I’ve included some of my favourite recommendations coming up this Christmas to put a smile on your favourite makeup mavericks face.
Inglot do incredible gifts, they’d be perfect for a stocking filler present, so I’ve chosen to feature INGLOT’s Italian Kiss is an intriguing colour combination for eye and lip makeup. A palette of warm, caramel shades complemented with juicy orange, sensual burgundy and deep black inspires to take up completely new makeup challenges. I packed their biggest palette, a concealer and two lipsticks. Italian Kiss look consists of five Freedom System eyeshadows, three AMC Eyeliner Gels and three types of eyelashes. A subtle smoky eye with softly blended matte eyeshadows creates a sensual glance. A classic or avant-garde eyeliner undoubtedly gives bold, rock character to the makeup. Black eyelashes in a truly women style accomplish the final effect.
Another favourite, particularly for Vegan is the Aussie brand NEEK who have launched tow new lipstick colours Mystify and Kiss Me Kiss Me to spoil your ecological-minded girlfriends! NEEK’s 100% natural lippies go on smooth and stay put for hours. Based on a shea butter, avocado and joboba oil base, they keep lips nourished and moisturised on the coldest winter days. NEEK Skin Organics creates natural, vegan, organic products that were earth-friendly, animal-friendly, human-friendly… AND effective!

Fashionista
The Fashionista, who doesn’t always like to be bang on trend but has developed tastes for their own personal style. My top recommendation is a classic Cambridge Satchel with a twist, because everyone loves them. A tiny Cambridge Satchel makes a great phone holder, with ability to get bigger sizes in a variety of colours I’ve opted for next seasons biggest and brightest colour, yellow!
Whilst on the topic of bags, smaller bags are majorly in right now, and they make the perfect statement gift for all the smaller things like a phone, purse and cards. So my top picks of the season are the Zatchels Zebra Leather Barrel Bag and Zatchels Green Shoulder Bag
Winter time is perfect for buying snug footwear, and lets leave slippers at the door, and go with boots that keep you toes fuzzy and toasty with Amaras natural calf boots from Ruby + Ed with natural suede uppers, finished with faux sheepskin detailing on the trim, exclusively developed for Ruby + Ed to guarantee outstanding quality and durability.
House Of Holland for Label M have recently launched the clutch bag of dreams, for the city girl who throws the world under her arm, it’s striking in primary red and blues that would accompany a lunch date or night out.
I believe in friendship bracelets, and jewellery that has meaning, it doesn’t need to be the most expensive, but more sentimental than anything else. So one of my favourite picks of the year was this simple Fiorelli Bracelet.

Let us not forget the all important men, and their Christmas too!
The Well Groomed Dudes
We all know a few dudes who really take care of their skin, and why not? This time of year can reek havoc on your skin. So here’s a few favourites of mine for all the men in your life who might be familiar with their skincare, or completely new. As well as beard accessories for keeping their face fuzz in a luxurious condition.
The scent of success. Going for gold because decadence is thrilling. Not-so-gentle man. Elegant and impertinent in equal measure, an intoxicating, powerful blend that starts out fresh and moves onto a spicy leather accord. An arresting alchemy of full-on seduction. Paco Rabanne 1 Million being the scent renowned all over the nation for it’s incredible staying power that is irresistible.
You’ve no doubt seen the advert, well of course you have Johnny Depp is incredibly hard to miss on our 4K TV in ultra HD. I’ve been truly obsessed with this scent ever since I had the opportunity to try it out before it’s public release, and knew it was the scent of the decade for men. Dior Sauvage has just recently brought out a it’s Sauvage Very Cool Eau De Toilette in an unbreakable bottle, thats ideal for the dude on the go, and wants to fresh up whilst being within arms reach of his go-to spray.

The fragrance opens with notes of bergamot blended with fresh grapefruit and crisp salty sea wind. The base features woody accords softened with velvet cashmere notes.
Art De Parfum Collection: Including perfumes for both men and women that exude French sophistication. Including the renowned Gin & Tonic cologne, Seafoam and Signature Wild – which are all my personal favourites from the bunch!
Beardy Boys
Starting off with the Bulldog Skincare Sets which include a face wash, shaving gel and moisturiser – which ideally makes the perfect winter care pack. Perfect for a father, brother, friend or lover, Bulldog understand that men can be complex and difficult to buy for, so there’s nobody better than man’s best friend to create a range of gift sets!
I’ve always thought of the men in my life as jewellery wearers, and I’m so very wrong but I slowly discovered they do love similar statement metal jewellery. I found the perfect accessory for any men with a bushy beard, and thats the Vézzo allowing men to brush their beards and moustaches whilst looking incredibly stylish!
Not only is the name something that will make you giggle, but also its sensitive formula is fantastic for those who truly care about their facial hair. So Beard Poo are deeply passionate about beards, and know that beards deserve the best, and not your average shampoo and conditioner leaving faces lacking in oil with scratchy.

The Stylish Man
So I truly believe there’s one of the biggest compliments in this world is picking out the clothes to go on someones back, with the thought of; I saw this and thought of you. How romantic and gestural! So some of the main men in my family always receive the finest high quality shirts that not only make style statements, but last the test of time. My favourite brand I love going back to is Devils Advocate, where I’ve found a Baroque Rock Slim Fit Shirt and skinny fit autumnal flower print shirt.
Naturally being in a family full of music-heads it’d be impossible to not vouch for their favourite band tees. My boyfriend and his Dad are wildly obsessive over U2, so just in time for their new album release (December 1st) I’m getting them a ton of U2 goodies.
This is the ultimate must have for every travelling man, which is the El Camino bracelets, documenting special adventures taken together. So I’m giving mine to Paddy for all the little trips we’ve taken. What I love about El Camino is not just it’s country milestones, but national too for the mini explorer. What a perfect way to treasure your adventures than something that is worn at all times.
Speaking of personalised gifts I love giving people personalised T-shirts, I love them so much I spend a good few days designing and sketching away to make it perfect. Because nothing says “I thought of you” as spending a few days on Photoshop putting together an ace piece of clothing. So I’ve been designing some goodies with TuneToo who have a range of printing and embroidery options, as well as their online editor for the none-Photoshoppers! Paddy will be receiving his favourite song lyric on a red hemmed vintage inspired T-shirt.

The Cocktail Shaker
We all have that friend who loves to make cocktails, maybe it’s a classic gin and tonic or go full out with their zombies, they certainly need a cocktail set for Christmas, and some fancy glasses to pop their creations in.
Lady Tipplesworth is the go-to place for the ultimate cocktail hamper, which includes mince pie syrups, a variety of mixers, and finally the cocktail boston shaker set.
If you need some help picking out what spirits they need, then look no further as an expert in spirit testing, I can assure that Aluna coconut rum will give a tropical twist to any cocktail. Whilst on the gin spectrum, I tend to favour Whitley Neill, Hendrix and Pickerings Gin. Speaking of Pickering Gin, they’ve recently just brought out a line of Gin Baubles that will make a statement on any Christmas Tree – if they’ll last throughout December, or you could just treat yourself by buying 24 as a gin advent calendar?
Finally I wanted to touch upon entertainment and dining accessories. I regularly host parties in mine, and like to have the best quality glasses in preparation for when I have my own dining room. So I love my Dartington Crystal Glitz Gin and Tonic Copa Glasses (Pair) that have a wave of Swaroski crystals throughout the goblet, I get so very excited to share a G&T with my girl pals with these.
