Not the Best Christmas Gifts for Her

Take our advice because we mean it when we say Christmas is not the time for chocolates, flowers, kitchen appliances, power tools, and you’d better be a bit more inventive than a gift voucher. There’s a lot at stake when it comes to Xmas gifts, so put in some effort and it’s bound to turn out alright.

So What do the Ladies Want for Christmas?

Beauty products – steer clear of makeup, but don’t turn away from a selection of bright nail polish colours. And there’s bath time products, hair products, hot stone therapy packs, body wash, shower gel, lip balm, comical hair brushes and manicure sets. And if you really fancy like pushing the boat out, you could send her away for a relaxing spa day, or tempt her with a complete makeover.

Something to wear – you could risk it for a biscuit if you think you know her size and buy her some exotic and sexy lingerie, but if you’re not sure on her measurements you’d be better off buying her a comfy jumper instead. Something chunky or soft, as long as it’s warm. Or some cute pom pom socks, or sensible slipper socks to keep her toes warm and toasty. Maybe she’d really appreciate some silky pyjamas, so she feels like a princess when you bring her breakfast in bed.

Fashion accessories – the most obvious that springs to mind is a stylish clutch or handbag. Cos all ladies love their handbags, right? Well nearly all of them anyway. Something understated, or outrageously over the top. Something she can clutch in her hand, or a bag that is big enough to take on holiday. And don’t forget the latest trend in fashion accessories – bag charms. Also included in this section are scarves, hats, gloves and maybe even shoes.

Jewellery – you’ll be her prince charming if you choose diamonds, because everybody knows they’re a girl’s best friend. But if that’s a little out of your price range you’ll still be spoilt for choice. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings will all be appreciated by your favourite lady.

Homeware – glasses, but make them champagne flutes, because of course you’ve got to buy a bottle of champagne for Xmas breakfast. Dinner service, coasters, lamps, paintings, trinkets and ornaments of all shapes and sizes.

Eco-Friendly Christmas Gift Ideas for Her

There’s an exciting range of gifts if your ladies are environmentally conscious. In the UK everybody is being encouraged to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible. So why shouldn’t that include Christmas gift ideas for her? And just because they’re eco-friendly doesn’t mean they have to be pricey. Let’s take a look at a few ideas:

  • Recycled notebooks and writing sets
  • Bamboo desk tidy or knife set
  • Recycled denim bag
  • Light pendant made from a colander
  • Antique glass baubles
  • Bird feeder
  • Lamps made from old bottles

And not forgetting the ultimate eco-friendly gift is one that you’ve made yourself from things you’ve found around the home.

Homemade Xmas Gift Ideas for Her

If you think you’d like to have a go at making your own Xmas gifts for her this year, why not go green? There’s some really nifty handmade gift ideas that will not only save you money but the planet as well. And you’ll be giving a really unique gift to the people who are important, which is never a bad thing.

Gifts made from old newspapers – yes you can really make some gorgeous gifts from the humble old newspaper. A woven newspaper basket – who wouldn’t be thrilled with that? A string of newspaper beads, or one made from old magazines if you want a bit of colour.

Repurpose an old jumper – and make it into a hat

Twig frame – far more eco-friendly than the usual fare of picture frames you can buy in the shops

These are just a few ideas to get the juices flowing. Use your imagination and get creative, or take a look online, as there are hundreds, if not thousands of homemade Christmas gifts you can make for her.

So we’ve hopefully given you a few more ideas, now let’s amaze you with some fun Christmas facts.
