What to Get HER this Christmas

Whether you're looking for a present for your mum, your girlfriend, your girl friend, or any other special lady in your life, I hope this gives you a few ideas!


1. The Safe Option
It might not be the most adventurous gift but at least you know it's something she'll appreciate. If you know there's something she's always using (makeup, perfume, a candle etc.) but maybe it's nearly ran out, find out where it's from and pick up a new one.

2. Pay Attention 
Maybe you haven't noticed the glaringly obvious hints she's been dropping. Make a special effort to look for clues of what she'd like to see under the tree this year. Maybe she's circled it in a catalogue or magazine, maybe she's bookmarked it on her computer, or maybe she's written it on your forehead, but if you pay enough attention you might be able to figure out what it is she wants.

3. Do Something Different
Maybe she's not so into beauty or fashion and she's told you a million times that she doesn't want anything anyway. If that's the case then do something that she wouldn't be expecting. If she loves to travel, take her somewhere she's never even thought about visiting. Or maybe a slightly more affordable example, if she likes sport, buy her tickets for next summer's Wimbledon. Perhaps she likes cooking, buy her a recipe book full of things she's never made before. Buy her something she'd never think of asking you for, or buying for herself.


And if you're still struggling then heres a few gift suggestions!

• Makeup & Beauty

- If you know the person you're buying for's makeup taste well, then go for it and pick a lipstick shade you know she'd love. Or maybe a palette would be a safer choice. If you're looking for something more affordable, but still great quality I'd go for a Sleek one, or if your budget's slightly higher then maybe the Urban Decay Naked palette. Or even better, if you want something slightly more personal, you could opt for a Mac palete and put together a few colours you think she'd like.
For something more along the lines of beauty/relaxation, you could chose a bubblebath, or bath oils. Aromatherapy Associates or Philosophy are great for this type of gift.

Other gift ideas include:
Perfume
A makeup brush set (I suggest Real Techniques or Sigma)
A makeup starter kit (for the makeup beginner)

• Fashion

- It can be a risky option if you're not too certain on the person you're buying for's style, but if you know exactly what she'd love then go for it. However if you don't want to take the risk, then opt for a gift card, and I'd personally go for a topshop one.

• Home & Decor

- A great gift for your mum, or maybe you just have a friend who's into this kind of thing, but a great easy gift is something for the home. A candle's an obvious one and I personally love fruity/vanilla scents. Also, something like a cute calendar or a hanging sign with a cute quote can be great presents that can be personal to the person you're buying for.

Good luck with your christmas shopping!
