Best Christmas gifts for her this year

Getting the perfect Christmas gift is no easy task. Mindful of sustainability we’re all trying to be a little more thoughtful with our present buying, particular at this time of year when consumerism really can get out of hand. Most importantly, think about the individual you’re buying for and what they like. It’s easy to give gifts that resonate with ourselves as something we might enjoy but really think about the interests and passions of the person you’re purchasing for in order to buy the most loved and cherished gift.

We’ve compiled Gift Guides for Christmas for all the different people in your life and within those have subsections for particular interests or traits. Over the next few weeks we will keep adding gifts and ideas to these sections to hopefully spark so present buying joy and some shopping ideas to help you get ready for the holiday season.

Homebodies

Currently still making our new flat a home, I’ve found my spend shifting from fashion to homeware. If you’ve got someone in your life currently decorating or know they have their eye on some new homeware pieces, indulge them this Christmas with something they’ll get joy from long after the mistletoe has come down. Equally, if there is someone who is loving still taking things slowly and enjoys a little hibernation in the winter months, think about items that will really help them feel cosy this winter. From snuggly cashmere to lazy day pjs, gifts that will be truly loved don’t always have to be super fancy.
