Perhaps you got invited to a Christmas or New Year’s party this year end and want to bring something for your host or hostess. Perhaps you forgot to get a gift for someone who got you one! Gasp! What do you do? Well, in the latter case maybe say “Oops! I left your gift at home!” and run out to get one 😉
Well, here are a couple gift ideas you can pick up that look good and in the case of a party, might get you invited back for another party next year LOL…
Scented candles
Get the hostess a Dirt scented candle – not only is it organic soy, they smell great! I burnt this in my house for a few minutes before my friends arrived for our little pre-Christmas meet up and it gave a lovely warm welcoming feel. At least I’d like to think so 😛 Available at Tiny Tapir. Or Ikea has some fab scented candles in a glass with limited edition Christmas scents – Also very lovely!
Dior Cristal Boreal lipgloss pendant
This isn’t quite for everyone but the Dior collector will love you for ever and ever if you get them the Cristal Boreale lipgloss pendant. Swarovski rainbow crystals sparkle away in this limited edition collector’s item. Available at Dior cosmetics counters.
La Compagnie de Provence bath and body products.
When everyone is gifting L’Occitane and Crabtree & Evelyn, stand out from the crowd with La Compagnie de Provence. Prices are about the same and there’s a great deal on the Christmas gift set with an adorable duck shaped soap in it (available separately). Available at Parkson Pavilion, Escentials Tangs and Escentials Urban Retreat Starhill Gallery.
Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate Body Wash
Remind your host of their lovely Christmas or New Year’s Eve party with the limited edition Crabtree & Evelyn Pomegranate body wash that smells wonderfully of spiced apples and cinnamon. They’ll appreciate it after they have worn themselves out cleaning up after the guests are gone 😉
Just 10 more days to Christmas! And 17 more days to the New Year. Golly! Time’s just flying by so quickly I can barely catch my breath!
Any last minute gifts you’d like to recommend? 🙂
