When it comes to the infamous Christmas shop, we all need a bit of guidance. Prevent falling into the socks and mug category by choosing gifts that your nearest and dearest are guaranteed to love. The following presents should ensure even the most hard-to-buy-for female is satisfied this year.
The “IT” Bag
*Fiorelli Asher large grab bag
The assumption that women love handbags and shoes is not a sweeping statement, it’s a fact. Head to the accessories department of any major store or any Online Wholesaler and you’ll find an entourage of females stroking buttery soft leather, tucking monochrome totes under their wing and rushing through the cash tills with their new take-everywhere bag.
Buying the right handbag is actually pretty easy. Stick to the 3 golden rules and you won’t go far wrong:
• Choose a designer brand
• Choose a classic style
• Choose quality material
Fiorelli offer a wide range of covetable handbags and jewellery, perfect for the discerning fashionista. Follow them on Twitter for handbag inspiration at @Fiorelli_Bags.
The Gotta-Have-It Art Piece
*Lost in Translation film print
Whether you love it or hate it, social media comes up trumps when you’re on the hunt for gifts. Not sure what to buy the 3rd generation cousin you haven’t seen in 5 years? A quick peep on their Twitter / Instagram / Pinterest feed is apt to churn out some ideas.
Etsy is a craft lover’s goldmine, but we’re particularly enamoured by their gift selection. If all else fails on the present front, the person you’re buying for will surely appreciate receiving their favourite film in art print form.
The Hair Saviour
*Tangle Teezer original detangling brush
Every year there’s that one product which snowballs into a bestselling must-have. Argan oil has enjoyed a long and prosperous stint in the hair limelight but this year it’s all about the Tangle Teezer. It might not sound like the most exciting gift purchase but the recipient will definitely be pleased with this pain-free answer to tangled hair.
The Tasteful Christmas Jumper
*Co-operative Christmas jumper
The Christmas jumper has shot to fame in recent years. In fact, it’s now become de rigueur for offices to hold Christmas jumper days. To that end, a Christmas jumper is a strong gift choice so long as you keep it tasteful. Fairisle is a classic print style that can pass as festive and be worn all winter too.
The Must-Read
There’s no better time to get stuck into an engrossing book than the festive period. This year’s crowning glory is Gone Girl – an episodic thriller about an American wife who disappears on her fifth wedding anniversary. Told from both sides, the writer manipulates the readers sense of truth so that they’re unsure who or what to believe. This is one of the most exciting publications of 2014.
So there we have it, 5 need-right-now Christmas gifts for women. Which one will you choose?
