The GO-TO Gift Guide

xmas
Firstly, you can’t imagine how happy I am that all of my go-to gifts are pink. I don’t think I’ve ever done a pink themed gift guide before. I’ve just bought my first Christmas gift, so what better time to post the first of my Christmas gift guides? So many people I know are being so organised this year. I have to say, I’ve seen so much hate on Twitter recently about blogger gift guides being generic or just a mish mash of random freebies. Let me start by saying not one product in this gift guide is sponsored or sent to me by a brand, it’s simply filled with gifts that I actually buy on the regular. Not that I have anything against sponsored gift guides because I really don’t. In more positive news, all of these luxury items are mostly under £35. *applauds* So, this is a go-to gift guide, the gifts that you can stock up on, pop in a drawer (am I the only one with a gift drawer?) and pull out when you need a good all-rounder. You know those awkward oh I had no idea we were doing pressies moments, the last minute additions to your festive get togethers, the secret santa gifts and the ooops I forgot to get my hairdresser something moments.

Champagne Bears and Chocolate Heels and Handbags: These are great stocking fillers and they are also ideal to pair with a main gift or complete a hamper. My Mum has a tradition of putting a cute gift as a place setting when she does Christmas dinner and these would also make the perfect table gifts.

Jo Malone Soaps: I have a box of these in my gift drawer all year round for those moments when you need a gift. They are universally loved. Mother in Laws, Sisters, Besties, Mums, Aunties, your favourite clients, this gift will delight all. Extra points if you pick up the limited edition ones. This year, the Christmas designs are all bright greens and pinks unlike the incredible Harlequin designs from last year but there is a stunning limited edition black and white cologne that is quite lovely.

Moet Crackers: Because who doesn’t love a mini Moet? It doesn’t get much more festive than champagne in a cracker and you get a Moet branded party hat too. Gift it alone or add champagne truffles. Shop the pink one here or the brut one here.

Limited Edition Touche Eclat: If you are doing a secret santa with the girls or you need a last minute gift for any lady, this will go down a treat. It’s universally loved yet the limited edition design makes it even more coveted.

Cashmere bedsocks: Because everyone hates cold feet and everyone loves cashmere. These White Company cashmere bed socks are great for grannys, Mums, aunties, your BFF.

Molton Brown Hand Cream: Gorgeous and girly, this is a great little gift set to add to your gift drawer

Molton Brown Bauble: Only £10 this cutesy gift is pretty and practical.

Blah Blah Blah Notebook: Add a Smythson notebook to your go-to gift drawer.

Dior nail polish. Nail polish that looks like a shimmery bauble? YES. YES. YES.

Limited Laurent Perrier: Need a fancy bottle to impress your host? This one is dreamy. It would also make a wonderful addition to your bar cart, you know, if you can’t bring yourself to give it away. No one’s judging.
