Shop the look: Gifts under $500

If you’re stuck for ideas on what to buy your nearest and dearest this Christmas I’ve rounded up some great gift ideas that are sure to impress.

Candle: Fornasetti

A gorgeous candle is always a fail safe gift option – especially when it comes in such beautiful packaging. This is a great piece that could sit proudly on someone’s dressing table or coffee table.

Perfume: Balenciaga

I know some might worry about buying perfume for other people as it can be quite personal but I always feel gifting a new scent to someone is a great luxurious gift. Plus if they really don’t like it they can always regift it! This particular fragrance is one of my favourites, so much so that I wore it on my wedding day.

Sunglasses: Celine

I love getting gifted a new pair of sunnies. I think people are quite scared to buy sunglasses because they are quite personal but I think these days they’re such a fashion item that I think it’s okay to have multiple pairs and having another pair (especially Celine!) to add to the collection would be welcomed by most women.

Makeup Brushes: Charlotte Tilbury 

For the friend who is always on the go these travel-sized brushes are handbag-friendly and come in a fun pouch. I think quality makeup brushes are a really great gift as they’re a beauty essential.

Ring: Siren

Jewellery is always a really beautiful, sentimental gift to give to someone so if you’re looking for something a little bit more special, a ring like this is great.

Headphones: Frends Layla Headphones

Usually my rule with gift giving is to buy someone a present they wouldn’t necessarily buy themselves. I love these because earphones aren’t really the kind of thing at the top of people’s shopping list so they would be a welcome surprise to find under the Christmas tree. I know I’d be really excited to get a pair like these!
