It's that time of year! Once December hits, all the blogs and YouTube channels flood us with those festive gift guides. I personally love reading and watching them as there is often so much variety in the gifts that you can purchase for a loved one (as well as for yourself!) that you wouldn't have thought about yourself. It's also often in these gift guides where you're able to see some injection of personality of the blogger that can hopefully provide some inspiration to the reader or viewer.
This is my second year compiling a gift guide (read last year's here). While I do have a few repeats, I tried to establish a well-rounded gide that covered multiple categories - beauty to fashion to miscellaneous. I hope this helps!
Beauty.
When it comes to gifting a beauty lover, it doesn't necessarily always mean makeup. However, if that's what you are looking for, purchasing a small luxury item is always special for the holidays. A Dior Eyeshadow Palette for example, can be such a pretty gift that caters to the makeup lover while it also being special and more than an ordinary product. Let's face it: when it comes to a gift, the brand name really does make a difference!
However, for the non-makeup beauty gift, perfume is also such a luxury and special gift, especially if you have an idea as to what scent they generally prefer. If they're like me and love a girly and subtly sweet scent, the Marc Jacobs Daisy line is divine, particularly the Marc Jacobs Daisy (more fresh) and the Marc Jacobs Daisy Love (more sweet). Perfumes can be quite pricey, however, so opting for a rollerball or a minature bottle can still be really cute and special - especially when the packaging is adorable like the Marc Jacobs ones!
Style.
For a gift in the fashion category, accessories are always a great idea. For example, a little compact mirror like the Kate Spade Mirror (similar here*() that is definitely less than ordinary would make for such a cute and thoughtful gift that actually has practical use. For a more luxe gift (without breaking the bank), small jewellery such as the Kate Spade Earrings (similar here*) or the Rosefield Watches would be very special, especially with the custom gift wrapping they come in!
Miscellaneous.
When it comes to the "other" category, you can never go wrong with books. As long as you have a vague idea as to what topics they enjoy, a book can never be underappreciated. For a fun read for one who enjoys beauty, fashion, and the French aesthetic, the book How to be Parisian Wherever You Are is a perfect gift, adorned with beauty imagery and amusing descriptions. All you got to do next is find the perfect wrapping paper to wrap it up with!
Here were just a few gift ideas, but see below for more ideas!
