Yes, yes yes it’s better to give than to receive… but, we are approaching a time of year when a lot of us women give until there is very little left. We are everything from the head of logistics and to chief magic maker.
Therefore we deserve great gifts. So, for our first gift guide… the focus is on ideas of things to ask for, or, to buy yourself and save for the big day.
Something vintage
A pre loved treasure is always a great self gift. Recollection is my go to for beautiful bags, jewellery and homewares. Follow their stories and when something makes your heart sing, go for it!
Shop small and luxe
Pretty stuff that you know you will use. Socks, a pouch for your bag, or maybe even an eye mask. I have recently discovered a fantastic brand with a curated edit of pieces from £10 that make a perfect self gift. Wanderlust Gifts
Something fabulous to help you escape
This gold Chanel coffee table book by Sofia Coppola is ridiculously unnecessary and therefore the perfect gift.
Elevated everydays…
Lip balm and perfume are almost everyday essentials… almost! They are also the perfect things to treat yourself to at this time of year and enjoy for months to come. On a recent trip to Norfolk I discovered this brand and I cant get enough! The bottles are like pieces of art and the fragrances are both unique but really wearable. Norfolk Natural Living
And maybe, just maybe, with a nice dose of self gifting, this will be a kinder Christmas for everyone including you!
