The Christmas countdown is upon us (did I hear yawns or yays?!) and I have been busy seeking out suitable gifts to spoil your nearest and dearest. Restrictions may be aplenty over this festive period; however, gifting is something no PM or pandemic can lockdown!
Let’s kick off this week with presents for our besties; and all are under £50, yet highly covetable.
Personalised Writing Paper
Fashion designer Rosie Assoulin has collaborated on an exquisite, sustainable stationary line with luxury stationer Papier. It is inspired by uplifting watercolours and consists of notebooks, notecards and writing papers. My personal favourite is the Paisley writing papers, which I will be having personalised, for the desks of a lucky few.
Prices range from a very affordable £16.99 – £31.99
Star Earrings
At Zips It Up, we just adore stars and embellish ourselves with them all year round! Hush has an amazing range – from the edgier ear hooks to blingy, statement drops. You truly are spoilt for choice. I am loving the Rondas myself to jazz up an outfit. You can’t promise your friend any wise men, but she can be a recipient of stars!
Prices range from £22-£36
Thoughtful Candle – I Wish you Lived Next Door
As it is not always possible to see those we want to in this current climate, it is lovely to give them a reminder of our sentiments. I sent this hand poured candle to a dear friend for her birthday and she was delighted with it. The message couldn’t be more succinct, it looks stylish and smells just like the original Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin.
£29.99 per candle. Gift box and lid, optional and extra.
Antique Style Locket Ring
This beautiful ring looks so much more expensive than it is and the antique-style finish is authentic. It comes in two colourways and has space for photographs of both of you. Such a touching gift to receive and it will be cherished – plus it looks damn cool!
Price £44.00 – currently has 15% off with code MAGIQUE
Zara Customisable Shirt
If you are like me, you will be a sucker for anything that can be monogrammed. So, to have our favourite high street store bring out a blue and white, striped, button down shirt (wardrobe staple) with the option to initialise it, is just genius. Order this unique piece promptly before it sells out; one for you as well as your best friend, of course.
Price a mere £29.99
That’s it from me for now. I will be back next week with a guide for what to buy ‘Him Indoors’.
Tip from the top: Do remember to get ordering some of these gifts pronto as personalisation can take time.
Happy Shopping!
