October has arrived which means one thing – it’s time to get out the Christmas Gift Ideas List!
For me, October 1st is my permission slip to start thinking about Christmas, after all it’s only 12 weeks away and we all know how crazy December gets with Christmas parties, school events and Christmas work do’s.
Write a Gift List!
To reduce the stress of Christmas shopping my approach over the past few years is to start an early Christmas Gift Ideas List on my phone and whenever I see something which I think would be perfect for my friends and family, I add it to the list under their name.
It might be a gift idea I’ve seen on Instagram, something a friend has mentioned, an idea I’ve seen in a gift guide or something I’ve seen in my favourite independent gift shop. Or of course it might be something I’ve read in my favourite blog or seen on their website!
The Friend who has Everything!
But there’s always one friend who is really tricky to buy for; she has everything she needs, she’s happy not to do Christmas gifts but you really want to buy her something small, something unique, something personal, something you know she doesn’t have yet.
If that sounds familiar, here are some inspiring Christmas gift ideas you might like for your friend who has everything:
“A little gift” – a personalised Christmas Gift Tag Keyring
You can’t go wrong with a personalised Christmas Gift Tag Keyring, thread on luxurious velvet ribbon and tied around a bottle of her favourite wine. Not only is it a failsafe gift option but also a really useful and practical gift - a personalised keyring which she can use everyday for her home keys, car keys or gym locker keys. Or she can even use it as a bag charm for her handbag or tote bag.
“A heartfelt gift” – kind words in a Thoughtful Message Keepsake
Show your friend how much she means to you with some kind and heartfelt words. Sometimes in the rush of life, we forget to tell our friends how great they are, so a thoughtful little Christmas gift can mean so much more than something more expensive and impersonal. If you would like bespoke words on your Thoughtful message Keepsake, just let me know.
“A classic gift” – simple but beautiful Love From Me Earrings
Love From me Earrings are the perfect mix of classic style and a personal heartfelt gift sent with love. Made with 100% linen fabrics in a choice of beautiful colours and printed with a metallic heart, wrapped in a gift box with a personalised message from you printed on a fabric message blanket. This is a Christmas gift you will love to give and she will love to unwrap.
“A useful gift” – a fun & bright Kind Keyring
The perfect mix of pink fabric and bold red print make the Kind Keyrings the perfect cute Christmas gift for your friend. Choose from designs such as “Soul Sister”, “Hello Lovely” or “Wonder Woman” – whichever suits your friend best! And if you have specific words in mind, do get in touch. Kind Keyrings make a useful and practical Christmas gift for friends who have everything!
“A mystical gift” – a celestial Star Sign Necklace
Whether your friend is an astrology fan, a star lover or simply curious about her star sign; the celestial Star Sign Necklace is a perfect Christmas gift for her. Simple & minimal yet very personal and meaningful, it’s an easy to wear necklace which goes with everything. Made with midnight deep blue Liberty fabric and printed with silver foil, set in sterling silver and thread on a sterling silver chain. She will love it.
So don’t forget to add these to your Christmas Gift Ideas List so you can get ahead and get organised this year – and you can look forward to watching your “friend who has everything” open their gift which you can’t wait to give her.
