FOR HER

Also, see my Christmas beauty gift pack guide on threadnz here.

Pretty new lace bralettes from Cotton On Body.

Always Red Femme is the newest addition to the Elizabeth Arden fragrance family and the perfect gift to give; who doesn’t love getting perfume? Why not give it with an Elizabeth Arden red lipstick as they famously do red lipsticks beautifully.

FOR TEENS

How about some cool stationery?

This pretty pink ‘Kit’ (Keep It Together) planner and compendium at Whitcoulls.

Many teens love baking, so how about putting together a creative kit from The Pretty Baker so they can create their own treats and decorate cupcakes and cookies.

FOR MUM

Beautiful sleepwear from ESALARE.

Pascoes gold triangle earrings.

Alex and Ani jewellery has so many amazing pieces but I adore this bracelet made from recycled and reclaimed metals at the original, family-run factory in Rhode Island USA. 

Adairs home store at Sylvia Park and online at www.adairs.co.nz has more than furniture and bedding, they have great gift ideas like these linen sprays and laundry liquids that look elegant and smell amazing.

Queenstown-based bee.yu luxury bee venom skincare has active ingredients of Manuka Honey, bee venom, royal jelly, and comes in a day creme, night creme, and face masque.

FOR HIM

The new men’s fragrance from Versace, Dylan Blue, is a woody aroma with citrus and bergamot. From $74 from@farmersnz, @smithandcaugheys, and department stores.

Ooh I love this! Men’s products can be so overlooked, but this London brand Johnny’s Chop Shop has the coolest 1950’s and 60’s packaging and is co-owned by an actual hairdresser, founder of Tommy Guns salons. The sharp men’s hair styling and beard grooming range is just $17 each at Farmers, pharmacies, and barbers.

This is a lovely candle to give to a man in your life; and Maraca candles have such a stylish elegant look. Their latest fragrance is Sevillian Neroli; a new luxury soy candle inspired by the Jardins del Generalife in Spain, with cinnamon, geranium, cloves, and vetiver, cedarwood, and sandalwood.

Some high performance men’s hair products, by Redken, L’Oréal Homme, and Matrix.

John Varvatos always have the BEST packaging of men’s fragrance ever and the latest, Dark Rebel, comes in a zip black case that reminds me of the T-Birds.

Cool sculptural coffee machine by DeLonghi for Nescafe Dolce Gusto, with recyclable coffee pods through TerraCycle.co.nz recycling.

Lego is actually one gift that never dates, it grows with you.

My son is the HUGEST Hot Wheels fan and is going to be blown away by this! A remote control plane and a racetrack- perfect for Christmas and available in stores now at Kmart, Farmers, and The Warehouse and selected toy retailers. SKY SHOCK $99 and Criss Cross Crash $59.
