Christmas is my favourite time of year and I find buying gifts for people just as enjoyable as receiving them. Whether you need a smaller gift to add on to something you have already bought or have twenty seven cousins* you need to buy for without going broke, hopefully this list will give you some inspiration. All of these ideas are under $20 but many are closer to $10 so you could also gift a few of these ideas together.
*If you have twenty seven cousins to buy for perhaps go the handmade route...!
DIY Heart Garland: Receiving a handmade gift shows thought, love and care went into the gift. To see how to make this garland click here.
DIY Mug Card: I think a very cute idea is to make a Christmas card in the shape of a mug and either add a gift card to their favourite coffee shop, or for a more affordable alternative, add a pouch of hot chocolate.
Lush Bath Bombs: Lush is one of my favourite stores to go to at Christmas time. Each year they release a Christmas collection with many cute festive bath items. Buy a few bath bombs and wrap them up in cellophane for a nice looking (and smelling) gift.
This Works Sleep Duo: This is a present that most people typically wouldn’t buy for themselves but is nice to receive. It comes with a travel size pillow spray and oil that promises to give you a good nights sleep. They are lovely luxury products and pairing this with the lush bath bombs would make a thoughtful relaxing gift. The packaging is lovely too which is a bonus! Find it here.
Candles: Can you tell I am into the relaxing gifts? A candle is another gift that many people don’t buy for themselves but will appreciate it if given. I like Glasshouse's range of candles that can be found here.
Mugs: There are so many gorgeous affordable mugs that make great presents for all sorts of people. Kikki K often have nice ones for around $10 like this one.
Chocolate: No one continues their diets at Christmas - that starts after New Years! I love Darrel Lea’s Choc Orange Balls and Cadbury’s Chocolate Almonds or Chocolate Sultanas.
Magazine: You are probably thinking, really....a magazine? But yes, there are some lovely magazines out there that are basically like nice coffee table books. My favourite is ‘Hooray’ Magazine which is filled with lovely photographs, stories and DIY ideas all based around celebrations.
Jewellery Tray: This would be useful for any woman to put her rings in beside her bed, and this one is super cute too with the theme of pineapples a big one this year. It can be found here.
Nail Polish: Most girls like a good nail polish, try find a Christmas gift set or buy some nice glitter polishes to go with the Christmas theme.
Stationery: I am a stationery addict so any notebook, journal, pen or stickers I receive I gladly accept. A diary or journal for the new year with matching pen is always a great gift.
