If you are looking for the perfect gift for a lady who loves her beauty products, lotions and potions then check out some of these items.
Satin Pillowcases
Although this isn’t a beauty product it is still bound to be adored and much appreciated by those who do love their beauty products as satin pillowcases are known for their beauty benefits.
The benefits of sleeping on a satin pillowcase include
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Sleeker, smoother hair

The ones featured below are from Bedsure and are available in a number of different colours to suit all bedroom interiors.

They have a lovely range of fragrances including popular perfumes and aftershaves and they even have some specialist autumn and winter scents available that will perfect for those Christmas gifts.
Jewellery
Jewellery can make a wonderful gift and be bought to fit any budget. Buying someone the right piece of jewellery also shows you have put a lot of thought and effort into the gift too. If you know the person well you can find a piece that will help show their personality through their jewellery, or opt to have something engraved with a special message. You can also show you have thought about them and the gift by choosing their birth stone or star sign, incorporating their first initial, or maybe a charm that represents one of their hobbies or favourite things.
If you are thinking about treating the women in your life to some personalised jewellery, then have a look at these two brilliant brands for some inspiration.
Lily Blanche
Lily Blanche is a brand I have worked with before. Their jewellery is stunning and so well made. They have a selection of personalised jewellery as well as pieces that are created using birth stones. One of my favourite Lily Blanche pieces are these beautiful white quartz drop hoop earrings, that represent the month of April. Of course, you don’t have to opt for their birth stone if you think they will prefer a different colour or stone, but it does help to show you did your research if you get the month right.
Xander Kostroma
For those that love jewellery made from semi precious stones then Xander Kostroma is a must see. He has a very large collection of gorgeous pieces that are all finished in either 925 sterling silver or 14k gold plated compartments. You can opt for small, simple and delicate pieces or big, bold beautiful show stoppers, the choice is yours.
We have worked with Xander before and really love the quality of his work and the piece we have chosen to showcase this year is no exception. It’s the handmade 925 Sterling Silver & Rose Quartz Rain Drop Delicate Necklace which will look good not just at Christmas but all year long.
Bloom Boutique
The second brand that offers gorgeous jewellery along with the option to have the pieces personalised is Bloom Boutique. They have lots of different pieces to choose from but I love this understated secret message heart necklace. It is perfect for someone that loves the sentiment of personalisation but doesn’t want everyone to know or to be asking about the story behind it. You can have up to three names personalised on the circle with a birthstone and then the heart over the top covers the text but lets the gem shine through.
Personalised Gifts
If you want to buy a personalised gift but don’t think jewellery is the right choice on this occasion, then how about a personalised glass. The Engravers Guild of London have lots of different styles to pick from including this lovely Swarovski Elements Diamante Heart Wine Glass. You can have any name or message personalised on to the glass across three lines with 22 characters available on each and the glass arrives well wrapped and presented in a gift box.
These personalised glasses would be an extra special keepsake if it commemorated a special Christmas such as the first as Mrs Williamson, or the first as a mum or grandma.
Another gift you can give is beautiful personalized ladies’ handkerchiefs. There are numerous styles and patterns these handkerchiefs can have—they can be made of lace, have beautiful embroidery, interesting patterns, and so on. Not only are they practical, but they also add a touch of vintage charm and sophistication to the recipient’s everyday essentials. Plus, everyone loves a good handkerchief!
For the interior lover
If the women in your life are house proud and love having nice things on show in their homes, then how about the following gift ideas.
WoodWick Candles
Candles don’t just look good but they also smell great and add a calming effect to your living space so why not give the gift of peace and tranquility with some WoodWick Candles this year. These particular candles come in stylish glass jars and have been made with pluswick innovation that ensure the wicks make a soothing crackling sound as they burn. They are available in a rage of gorgeous fragrances and colours so you are bound to find the perfect match for the lady in your life.
Yankee Candles
If the person you are buying for prefers their candles to be silent then you can’t beat a Yankee candle. Again they come in lovely glass jars with a wide rage of colours and fragrances to choose from, them even have specific Christmas scents including Cheer which will fill their home with the smell of cardamon and liquorice.
An Ecosphere Terrarium
Now this is a very special treat for any plant lovers out there. These Ecosphere Terrariums from the Urban Botanist are like nothing I have seen before, they are so beautiful they seem kind of magical, especially if you add the LED fairy lights to them.

They are made from a soft and luxurious stretch satin fabric with a striking pink palm print and button through detail. Available in sizes 10-30.
Food and Drink Gifts
Travel mug
Everyone needs a travel mug, especially in winter. Whether it’s for their commute to work, watching the kids play football at the weekends or long walks with the dog a hot drink will brighten any occasion. The Contigo west loop auto seal travel mug is not only perfect at keeping your hot drinks hot for up to 5 hours and your cold drinks cold for up to 12 but it’s also designed to be used one handed, is spill and leak proof, really stylish and available in 12 colours!
Alcohol based gifts
The ITALICUS Rosolio di Bergamotto makes a great gift for someone that enjoys a delicious cocktail. Grown, harvested, and distilled in Turin, ITALICUS delivers notes of fresh ripe bergamot orange, balanced with a light bitter and floral spice, perfect as a spritz when added to prosecco. The liqueur’s presentation is also as refined as its taste, with a bottle design inspired by Italy’s illustrious architectural.
Alcohol free spirits
The CleanCo alcohol free spirits are great for those that like the taste of alcohol but would prefer not to have the actual alcohol. They are the closest tasting alcohol free alternatives I have ever tried, especially the Gin and the Pink Gin. Not only are they alcohol free but they are also low in calories with each spirit containing less than 18 calories and you can choose from a whiskey, rum, gin and tequila alternative.
For the book lover
If you are buying a gift for a book worm then stick to what they love and opt for a book or two. People often think a book doesn’t look like a great gift but take it from me, as someone that loves to read, receiving books as gifts always makes me smile. And don’t worry if you aren’t sure about their favorite genres or authors as it’s a great opportunity for them to try something new.
Here are some suggestions…
Sarah needs Saving by DCR Bond
Sarah needs saving is the debut novel of DCR Bod. It is a fast paced family drama with a number of plot twists. It tells the tale of Sarah, usually super organised who finds her self living an unexpectedly chaotic life and in need of help. Perfect for those that love a good story that will keep them guessing right till the end.
Emily’s Algarve Escape by DCR Bond
If you are wanting to buy a couple of books for your friend or loved one and think you’d like to introduce them to an new author the why not couple the above with DCR Bonds second novel, Emily’s Algarve Escape. This takes you on a journey from London to the Algarve for what is anything but an easy relocation.
The Push Over by Daney Parker
If you are looking for more of a domestic thriller then The Push Over is the one to get. It starts with the investigation of one murder but soon leads to the memories of another. However this book isn’t all doom and death it’s also laugh out loud funny and will leave you wanting more.
I hope you have found this list of Christmas gift ideas for the ladies helpful and are now feeling inspired to go and finish, or maybe even start, you Christmas shopping and remember it’s the thought that counts not how much it cost.
