Diamond earrings, two weeks in the Seychelles, a spa weekend…what am I talking about? Well, I’ve worked out that my husband uses my December newsletter for gift ideas for me so I’m very tempted to try my luck with the aforementioned items! On reflection though, I’ve got no chance of getting them so I’ve decided to choose some more realistic gift ideas. I hope you like and are presented with some of these too on Christmas morning. I’ll keep you posted:-
1. Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer
This is described as the contour kit for people that don’t do contouring, which is me. It comes in two shades for light to dark skin tones and is great for accentuating cheekbones without all the Kim Kardashian faff.
2. Yolke nightwear
I used to be happy to sleep in any old pyjamas but now I’m knocking on a bit I see the value in fine cotton poplin sleepwear. It feels so much more comfortable than having anything synthetic next to your skin. I’m a convert to Yolke after being given one of their dressing gowns. Nowadays, I can’t believe I put up with being hot and bothered in terry towelling for so long! The price isn’t cheap as they use only the finest cotton but the Outnet have some excellent bargains.
3. Knitted cardigan
This trend has been bubbling under for a while and is about to go mainstream. It is such a versatile piece as you can dress it up and down, plus it adds a much needed layer of warmth at this time of year. There are some gorgeous colours around so if you have a lot of neutrals already in your wardrobe be bold and add a splash of colour. This style is from Ganni who have a fabulous range of knitwear but you can find some lovely less expensive alternatives in & Other Stories and Arket too.
4. Leather Card Holder
A card holder is ideal for those occasions when you need to travel light. This style is sleek and sophisticated making it perfect for slipping into an evening clutch bag. Made from 100% leather, this one is excellent value at £45.
5. Queen Bee Styling Gift Package
Note to my husband if you’re reading this, I don’t need one of these. If however you or a loved one would like a helping hand to transform your style then this is the ideal gift. We offer a range of packages designed to shift you out of your style rut, boost confidence and eliminate frustration when you open the wardrobe!
