2013 Christmas Gift Guide [Part One]

It’s not long until Christmas (two and a half weeks, eek!), and if you haven’t got your Christmas gifts sorted yet then you need to hop to it! Here is the first of my Christmas gift guides to give you a bit of a helping hand.

Evo’s Caring Haze Xmas Pack is the perfect gift for someone wanting to inject a little life into their tresses. Includes Caring Shampoo and Ritual Conditioner and Haze Styling Powder packed in a fancy designer paper bag designed by Melbourne creative Marsha Golemac. Phone 0800 25 25 30 for your nearest stockist.

Oh hello adorable owl friends! This super cute owl purse is a great stocking stuffer, and you can find it online at boohoo.com.

If you’re buying for someone who works with their hands, or loves a good manicure, I can’t recommend this trio of hand creams enough. I’m a fan of all of Trilogy’s products, and think this would be lovely to keep my hands soft after a day of gardening.  Trilogy products are available from selected Farmers, pharmacy, department and health stores nationwide. For more information, visit trilogyproducts.com

ECOYA has a delicious new range, with lovely scents such as Midnight Orchid, Palm Leaf and Tiare Flower, Banksia and Bergamot, my favourite Jacaranda and Plum, and limited edition Coral and Narcissus. A luxe scent can make a great stocking stuffer or a fabulous gift for the girl who has everything. BOTANICALS by ECOYA is available from ecoya.com and exclusively from Stevens nationwide.

The state-of-the art Cloud 9 Hair Iron has temperature control technology which allows you to smooth, flick, curl or straighten hair at lower temperatures, and the unique black plates also provide added shine every time you use your irons. This is a great gift for anyone who likes to look polished and well presented, and includes a limited edition, elegant, heat resistant travel pouch. Phone 0800 25 25 30 for your nearest stockist.

Available in eight shades, these creamy, long-lasting new eyeliners have a handy sharpener built right into the lid meaning you’ll never have to suffer a dull pencil again! They come in eight versatile shades: Raven (a signature black), Sumatra (a cool shade of dark brown), Storm (the ultimate smoky grey), Penny Lane (light brown with a subtle shimmer), Cabana (a daring aqua green), French Navy (the perfect go-to navy blue), Violetta (a warm prune hue), and Bare (an eye-brightening velvety nude). Can I please actually just have one of each shade? Find a list of stockists here.

I’ll admit it, my Christmas Gift Guide is pretty much a list of things I would like… I’ve recently graduated and have just started an amazing job, and this bag would be just perfect for carrying my laptop and all my daily essentials. Talk about looking smart! Find it at select kikki.K boutiques, or online at kikki-k.com

Just because it’s summer, it doesn’t mean that a scarf won’t come in handy – when it’s hot outside you can use it to keep the sun off and when the sun goes down and things get a little chilly you can wrap it around your shoulders. Practical and beautiful! Pick it up from boohoo.com.

Working Meagan would also like this super swish timepiece. I love rose gold and I think that every great work outfit needs a great watch. You can order this one from ASOS.

I couldn’t let the opportunity to include a cute dog pass me by, could I? I don’t advocate giving pets as gifts, but an animal cushion is a great alternative. My BF loves bulldogs so obviously this one was a fave. Find it (and other cute animal cushions) at Mondegreen.

I hope you’ve found this helpful! Check back soon for more gift ideas.
