There are lots of things I love about Christmas, the excitement, the build up, the community buzz, the food and family coming all together. I do love to give gifts, I think the part I most enjoy is the wrapping and placing them under the tree, the mystery of what could they be, and the participation of seeing joy on the faces of those that I love. Because this part of Christmas is something I dearly love the stress of picking the perfect gift does get to me and for many 'the hunt' can cause a lot of anxiety. To help I put together a quick list of gifts that I have seen that would appeal to many. This is particularity focus on the ladies, I will put up another list on things to get for the men in our life. Fashion+Wearable AccessoriesIt is always fun to receive new jarmies and I love the sleepwear range from Gingerlilly. This slinky chemise is chic and feminine. A flattering cut and on trend fabrics with navy and floral. Any lucky lady in your life will love!. Buy online from Gingerlilly for $59.90 I am obsessed with these sandals. Metallics are still big this season and these gorgeous slip ons will go with just about everything in your wardrobe. Match them with shorts and a tee for a casual lunch at the local cafe or on a hot summers night dress they dress up any maxi. Buy in store or online from Witchery for $99.95 For the modern Boho chic, this Mimco scraf pairs geometric, tassels and metallics. Available in black + gold, White + gun metal grey or my favorite, pastel pink 'pancake'. Scarfs are great gifts for women of all ages so wether its your wife, sister, aunt or mother-in-law she will love the Mimco Muse scarf. Available in store or online from Mimco for $79.95 If you are looking for something small, a stocking stuffer, or working to a tight budget how about these on point drop earrings from Forever New. A filagree gold disc with white and tan bead tassels will accentuate any healthy summer tan. I love that these are really light so you can wear them all day and are made to be hypo-allergenic so suitable for the most sensative of skins. Feminine with a touch of boho, perfect! Available in store or online from Forever New for $12.99 HomeI love adding to my home and expressing my style, interests and personality. I especially love it when I receive gifts from those special to me that I can display and have as reminders of cherished friendships and moments in my life. Artwork is something personnel and can be overlooked in a home. This poster also brings in my love of peonies. The combination of simplicity and femininity makes me want to share this photo with all of my loved ones. Add a frame in either black, gold or white and really see these Peonies pop! Available online from Immy+Indi for $29.50 A2 size (plus frame) I think candles are fairly universal. When I am giving a gift and a bit stuck on what to get someone I usually buy candles for this reason. They can fit in to any budget and a range of designs to work well with any persons style. A lantern really ups the anti and brings an additional layer of luxury for any candle addict. I have been coveting this paneled glass lantern for quite some time, with the art deco style pattern it is definitely on Santa's list! Available in store or online from West Elm for $139.00 (Medium) I am totally addicted to throws. I think they are a fun way with the help of a few cushions and accent items to totally change the feel of a living room. I can change my living room from Scandi to coastal and over to Romantic Lux with a quick swap around of textiles. Give your loved one this faux fur chevron throw to transform their living from lazy Sunday to opulent evening in. Available in store or online from West Elm for $99.00 I find Mums are the hardest to buy for. They do so much for us through out the year and they never want anything in return! My mother and mother-in-law are complete godsends they do however have everything they need and want so you really have to give it a lot of thought. I wanted something of a high quality, would fit in with the flow of the home as it has many decades of memories within it and was a bit over the top they would never buy for them self. Made from natural agate and brass this simple but elegant tray is perfect. Hopefully my Mums aren't reading today, because this is what I have under the tree for one of my life saving Mums. Available in store and online from Pottery Barn for $199 AccessoriesBeauty accessories are great stocking stuffers for girls and women of all ages. I travel a lot for work and don't like taking my good brushes with me as I have a tendency to be a bit forgetful so I loved this set. With quality brushes, the mint green and laser cut pattern add an extra something special for a great Christmas buy. Available from Forever New for $39.95 When I moved to Australia I lived in Queensland, in the picturesque town of Mooloolaba. I became a beach towel junky and love my whole collection. I believe everyone needs a really decent beach towel, and love buying them for my friends and family. The Epoch collective have a beautiful range with a unique edge of being round. My favorite is definitely the Aquatic Lotus with is Mandala style print. Lux in Velour perfect for the hard to buy for! Available online from Epoch Collective for $99.00 And finally, for those that you love and have already blessed them with a luxe beach towel why not turn the dial up with the gorgeous Jute Majorelle 'The Beach People' bag. Again the Mandala print adds a hint of boho across the hessian style bag. A good beach bag should be large enough to house all of the essentials, sturdy to handle the sometimes harsh environment and a mixture of fun meets glamour. Tick, Tick, Tick. Available online from Revolve for $30.31 Hopefully this list has helped inspire you with your Christmas lists this summer. Why not share what your favorite gifts to buy in the comments below!
