A Pretty Christmas Gift Guide For Her



I’m really hoping that you’ll not be fed up with seeing Christmas gift guide posts as I still really wanted to create one myself! I couldn’t resist popping together some of the lovely pink and girly items that I already have and love and are ones that I think would make perfect presents if you still need to finish off your Christmas shopping... 

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick In ‘Lingerie Pink’ 
I received my first ever YSL lipstick as a present for my 21st birthday and even though they are expensive, I feel like Christmas is the time when you can ask for a special lipstick and not feel too guilty, right? I think they have the most luxurious packaging ever with the gold tubes and the little detailing around the centre which reminds me of a rose. My favourite shade is ‘Lingerie Pink’ which is a beautiful soft milky pink that looks perfect with natural makeup for during the day or paired with glittery eyeshadow for an alternative to red lipstick over the festive season. These lipsticks feel so creamy and soft to wear on the lips and they really feel like a special little treat to have in your makeup bag. 

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette 
All of the heart eyes are definitely needed for this gorgeous eyeshadow palette from Too Faced! The Chocolate Bon Bons palette includes sixteen matte and shimmer shades which have a mixture of beautiful neutral colours and also a pop of sugary bright pinks. They are perfect if you want something that is girly yet still subtle and you can create such a wide range of looks with this palette. I adore the baby pink packaging and when you open the palette, it is like opening a pretty pink box of love heart chocolates as the palette is infused with cocoa powder so it actually smells like chocolate too! 

Sass & Belle Pink Prosecco Teapot 
Late night browsing on Asos is always a dangerous one and when I came across this lovely little teapot, I added it to my basket and bought it straightaway along with a cute set of sparkly pink prosecco coasters. It’s from Sass & Belle and says ‘I’d rather be drinking prosecco, more prosecco!’ It has a little white teapot on the top which has pink and gold twinkly stars decorating it and then it sits on top of cute blush pink cups that are the perfect size for a little cup of tea. I also bought these silver sparkly cloud teabags from a little shop on Etsy as I thought they were adorable! 

Essie Nail Polish in ‘Muchi Muchi’ 
You can never go wrong with gifting someone a little nail polish or two and it’s definitely something that I am always happy to receive. One of my favourite nail polish brands is Essie and I chose to include the shade ‘Muchi Muchi’ in this little gift guide as it’s a lovely candy pink colour which any girly girl will just adore! It’s the perfect choice as it looks dressed up enough to go out for champagne cocktails but is also lovely for cosy snuggly days on the sofa. 



Pink Prosecco Chocolate Bar
I was actually looking for a little prosecco gift to pop in with a friend’s Christmas present when I found this lovely chocolate bar on eBay. It’s a gorgeous blush pink colour complete with a cute little prosecco quote and gold bubbly illustrations. I think it would also make for a sweet stocking filler and I imagine that the chocolate itself may have a prosecco flavouring. 

Thomas Sabo Pearl Charm Bracelet With Pearl Bow Charm 
I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful pearl charm bracelet as a birthday gift last year and I actually wear it most days as it’s so pretty. I have the traditional pearl one but the charm bracelets are also available in a sweet baby pink rose quartz which I think is lovely too. At the moment, I have this gorgeous pearl ribbon bow charm on it which is so dainty and goes perfectly with all of my everyday outfits. 

Miss Etoile Lash Trinket Dish 
I used this little Lash Trinket Dish from Miss Etoile as a photo prop for the Thomas Sabo charm bracelet but it’s actually so cute that I thought I’d include it as another little gift. It’s a lovely little blush pink trinket dish complete with a false lash print and I love using this one to keep my everyday bracelets on and I display it on my dressing table. I have a bit of an obsession with trinket dishes as I think they’re adorable and they would make a lovely Secret Santa gift for a girly girl too! 



White Hot Chocolate Unicorn Cones 
My last little gift idea is actually one that I made myself and it’s so easy to do that I thought I’d include it! I’d seen a lot of people making reindeer hot chocolate and sweetie cones, particularly at this time of the year, so I thought it would be cute to make my own unicorn version. All I did was fill up a piping bag with white hot chocolate powder, mini marshmallows and pink unicorn sprinkles, tied it up with a bow with pink curling ribbon and drew on some black unicorn eyelashes. I think they look really sweet and it’s always lovely to receive something handmade at Christmas time!
