It’s that time of the year again which comes with the best year-end sales and also the headache of figuring out what to buy your friends for the holiday season.
Stuck for ideas? Aren’t we all… from your family, to your friends, in-laws, co-workers, bosses, and so on… it’s always a bit of a struggle. We thought we’ll share some ideas to get you inspired and which hopefully will spread some festive joy!
Here are some ideas to get you started, especially useful for fellow ladies who live on a tight schedule.
1. A Dual Lip Tint & Gloss
A girl’s must-have. Sometimes we’re bogged down and don’t always have the luxury of time to (though we wish we did), to carefully apply make-up before we start our Monday mornings. This little gem will help your girl friends start their day right by adding a quick solution for colour which she can reapply throughout her busy day, not missing a beat.
2. A Moleskine Planner
Who doesn’t love moleskine? Who doesn’t love having a very lovely and chic planner to write in and schedule her busy days? We all do and we would all appreciate a beautiful moleskine planner. Choose bright funky colours to match your friends equally bright personalities.
3. Ringly Smart Ring
Have a bit of money to spend and don’t mind waiting for this to reach our shores? Then order a Ringly Smart Ring online (USD 200). This fashion accessory is also functional, it lights up, vibrate (or both) to notify you of a call or text. Perfect for times when you need to keep your phone packed away in your bag/hidden from view, but would still like to know if you’re being contacted. With this, there’s no need to constantly check your phone!
4. A Head Twist Scarf
Here’s a little fashion accessory to spruce up your hairstyle during bad-hair-days. The options are endless!
5. Travel-size Eau de Parfume
Another must-have in any lady’s purse. For those rushed days when we’re constantly on-the-move, a little bit of eau da perfume (especially if it’s comes in a rollerball) is perfect. Being travel size also makes it handy to keep in your handbag so you don’t ever have to worry. We’re sure your friends would appreciate this.
6. A Namecard Holder
If your friends are often hitting up the scene, networking, and just doing their ‘thang’ – a chic looking card holder will go miles.
7. Clutch the Night Away
A clutch is a lady’s best friend on a night-out. Buy her one maybe in a style she wouldn’t normally buy herself, or perhaps in a colour she doesn’t own yet. Can’t go wrong with this fail proof gift.
8. Adult Colouring Book
All the craze these days, there are plenty of options out there. If your friends are particularly artsy, or just enjoy spending their time indoors, or can appreciate quiet me-time, this is a great one. Options range from colouring in cities, gardens, animals, undersea creatures, cats, and more! Just head to your nearest bookstore.
9. Mani-Pedi Gift Voucher
May seem like a cliche token but which girl doesn’t enjoy getting her nails done and some pamper-me-time? For added value, choose a package that includes spa treatments so it isn’t just a classic mani-pedi.
10. Yoga Mat
Is your friend into health and wellness? Does she often go to yoga? Notice her mat needs some TLC and looks worn for days? Why not gift her with a new one?
11. Statement Necklaces
These make great little gifts because there’s always an occasion to wear statement necklaces. Equipped with heavy jewel and beading, it adds so much pizazz to any outfit.
