Christmas Advent Week 1 | Christmas Gift Guide

This post came out a little later than it should, but I thought I'll share it with you nonetheless. As a tradition from last year, I will be posting Christmas-themed blog posts weekly before Christmas day. This year, I thought I'll share a few things that are worth reading and gaining inspiration from. 

For week 1, I'll be sharing with you last-minute gift guides for your families and friends. Sometimes, finding the right gift for someone dear to you can be a struggle but worry not, I got your back. I'll be breaking down the ideas into four categories. Now, you have to target which category to look into then hunt for that item asap. Happy shopping! x


i. Beauty Beats

You can never go wrong with purchasing amazing products for all the ladies and gentlemen (trust me; they care about their faces as well) out there. Depending on your budget, I suggest walking into the nearest drugstores to find products that are comparable to those high-end that are mostly on sale at this time of the year. There are tons of amazing high-street products that are better or even similar to those high-ends.
Products that are worth giving: face masks, body & hair baths, perfumes/mists, lip products(lipsticks, lip balm, liquid lipsticks, lip stains), nail polishes, makeup (blush, bronzer)

Brands worth mentioning: 
High Street: NYX, Nature Republic, Vaseline, The Body Shop, Etude House, Crabtree & Evelyn, Bourjois
High End: Sephora, Tarte, TheBalm, Clinique

ii. Accented Accessories

For those who love to spice up their look with jewellery, you should know which subcategory of accessories that they go for daily. These pieces will not only accentuate their look, but you make them feel appreciated and remembered.

Subcategories of accessories: 
Watches, sunglasses, pins & patches, necklaces(chokers, pendant)/rings/bracelets, earrings

iii. Fashion Finds

If you know, someone who needs a pair of socks or a cap or just someone who loves fashion, finding a perfect pair of garments (bear in mind that you understand their size well if you're planning to gift clothing items) is super easy. Especially for those who are in a colder climate, a set of gloves or a beanie can be a great gift. For those who are in hotter weather, a cap or pyjamas or a sling bag is just appropriate.

Fashion gifts suggestions: 
gloves, scarf, pyjamas set, fancy socks, knitted Christmas sweater, cap, beanie, onesies, band tees, sweater

iv. Hobbies & Crafts

For those who are techno-savvy, souvenir craze, fan club craze; or love baking, cooking, painting, etc, finding them something to add to their collection can be just as great as giving them a cute beanie.

Items worth mentioning: 
Extravaganza phone case, magnets, painting set, anime series, pen drive


Last but by no means least, food is just as important as those gifts listed hah. I mean the gathering, laughter, joy and time spent are more important than all the gifts. Oh, I know I'm late in posting this, but this is relevant if you want to buy birthday presents. During this season, give a call or write a letter/card to someone you've not been connected to recently. Let's bring a smile to everyone's face this Christmas :)
