CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE 2018

Better later than never! I finally put together a gift guide with the things I’ve loved the most this year, which I think can be a really good gift for you or for your beloved ones such as family and friends. I’m going to share with you items that I have already shown you here on the blog during this 2018, but that deserve another shout out because I’m in love with them and are great gift ideas for Christmas.

TECHNOLOGY

Nowadays we spend so much time with our phones because they have become an essential tool for us, both for enjoyment and work. That’s why we must take care of them with great quality and really protective phone cases, always with a great variety of stylish designs. Also, because we use the phone so much that we always run out of battery, a fancy powerbank is a really helpful thing to carry in your bag. And last but not least, something I use pretty every single day, is a cable winder. As simple as that, but so useful to carry around and easily connect my phone to my laptop.

JEWELRY

You know how obsessed I am with jewelry and I won’t ever stop repeating that it is always a great gift idea. A piece that you can wear easily every single day, that can be timeless. I’m the kind of person that when gets asked about gifts I always answer jewelry without even thinking about it. This year I had the pleasure to work with one of my favorite jewelry brands, Ania Haie, and I’m so happy with the quality and design of their pieces. Also, the packaging is so beautiful and cute. Perfect for a gift!

WATCHES

Watches are something that we need daily, and also a great accessory. I like to have more than one to match my watches with my outfits, even though I already know which my favorite is. Watches can be a great gift for both men and women, and I know many brands that send watched with really beautiful boxes, which are great to gift.

BOOKS

Books are a great gift too and there are many options to choose from. From great novels, to biographies, to life-changing books. This year I’ve fallen in love again with reading, and thanks to recommendations and a lot of searching I’ve found great books that I’ve loved so much and that I would read again for sure.

SKINCARE

This last year and a half I’ve been taking my skincare routine so seriously and I’m so happy about how much my skin condition has improved. I’ve shared with you all the products I’ve been trying and the ones that have really worked, but here I am sharing again my top favorite ones, so you can get them for yourself or for someone who is also a skincare geek like me.

Facial serum – Löwengrip

DECORATION

I’m all about looking for beautiful and affordable pieces to decorate my room and make it look different. You don’t need a huge budget to have a nice room decoration and I’ve shared some of my faves on the blog this year. The key is looking for expensive looking but affordable pieces, like beautiful frames, candles, things to organize your room, and even pretty flowers.

CLOTHES & SHOES

I have to say that I love clothes and shoes and you know it, but I admit that is hard to gift it to someone because you’re never sure if they’re going to like it and fit well. But, despite that, I wanted to share with you my favorite shops and brands. I’ve been styling their clothes and shoes all year long, so I’m sure you’ll know which brands I’m talking about.

Clothes – MissyEmpire

Shoes – Ego Shoes

EXPERIENCES

In my opinion the best gift of all. An experience is much more valuable than a material gift. It can be a day at the spa, a massage, a trip, etc. Have a great time and you’ll always remember that, more than a pair of shoes or a box of chocolates. My favorite are trips for sure, because I love to explore new places and then you have such wonderful memories.

I think that these have been more than enough gift ideas for this holiday season. These are all things I’ve used myself and loved, so I wanted to remind them to you again.
