The final guide in this year's series is of course, the guide for her. This year I've included everything, from high end perfumes to bargain gift sets that you need to snap up before they sell out.
Let's start with perfume. When I think of Christmas scents, I truly think of Viktor & Rolf. One Christmas they posted about this gorgeous pink tulle dress as they advertised Flowerbomb, and since then I always think of that perfume at this time of year. Marketing at it's finest. This year The Perfume Shop have matched his and her scents together. I picked up Spicebomb for the other half, and I can't wait to be the best smelling couple at the NYE party.
L'Oocitane have released some gorgeous sets this year, as we saw in my stocking guide. My favourite is the Invigorating Verbena Collection. The set includes four generous sized products, including a shower gel and fragrance, and the box itself is a keeper in my opinion, The Verbena scent is lemony and fresh, a personal favourite of mine.
I couldn't write a gift guide for 2024 without including one of the most wanted items of the year, the Stanley Cup. I have one, and now so will a few people on my gift list. Obsessed.
Mario Badascu is a brand that I'm yet to try, but have been hearing more and more about. When I saw that they were included in the Boots 3-for-2 offer, I picked up a one for them and one for me to give them a try. The set comes with three decent sized travel minis, including a body cream in one of my favourite ever skincare scents, coconut.
I'm a firm believer in giving someone what they need, not just want they want. Therefore this year I'll be gifting one of the women in my life a Katie Loxton black handbag. A simple, classic wardrobe staple that some of the ladies in my life are lacking in. Call me a hero.
Would it be a gift guide without a Charlotte Tilbury set? The Iconic Pillow Talk set is just that, iconic. The Pillow Talk lipstick has been my favourite for some years now, and I use it pretty much daily, so to get a set like this, topping up my little collection, is perfect.
Olivia Blake is a name that I rarely see, but is a great alternative to that well known high end perfume and candle brand, down to the packaging. I own an Olivia Black perfume and it is gorgeous and lasts for hours, so when I saw the Freesia & Pear gift set with the body mist and shower gel, I popped it in my basket and just know they're going to love it.
Aveeda is known for their gorgeous hair products, so when I found this gift set with shampoos to hair repair, I picked it up for myself from The Cosmetics Company Store. I also found this Estee Lauder set, full of minis. I save them for travel and seem to be collecting the makeup bags that they come in now. Estee Lauder are at the top when it comes to higher end, but not unaffordable skincare, and a set like this would be the perfect introduction to a fabulous brand.
The final gift in my 2024 guide, is from a gorgeous brand, Emu Australia. Slippers are a classic, and these are far more luxurious. The Mayberry slipper is made from natural sheepskin, meaning it is super fluffy and incredibly soft. They're the first things I look for in the morning since receiving them, and I'm sure I'll be asking Santa for a pair each year from here on. The Sharky Scuff are both slippers, and outside shoes. I've gotten a little precious about them, and have worn them for coffee shops runs and hairdressing appointments solely. Beyond comfy and of course, top of the trend list come winter too. Whether it's the classic slipper or something multifunctional, both would be perfect gifts to find under the tree this Christmas.
