Gift ideas for everyone 2024
A little something under €25
This section is aimed to Secret Santas, hosting gifts or just a little something to show appreciation. I wanted to be mindful of budgets, and kept it all under €25 – whilst making sure it will still delight and surprise. Its a hard task nowadays to keep budgets small, whilst you still get something special. Of course chocolates, potted flowers or fancy coffee beans or teas are a great option too. Im someone who loves to gift, and from experience monogrammed items are always a success, so are cosy sleepers or quality skincare and body care. Oh, you cant go wrong with a candle! Here are my highlights:

Most wished for this year
When i did a question box on my Instagram asking what are you looking for this holiday season, these items have been coming in fast. I could see even trough the year, the surge in popularity for some particular mid tier designer items and some are firmly on my own wish list too. I was delighted to see we can shop Adanola items customs free in Brown Thomas. However they don’t stock the whole line, so if you are willing to splurge and pay additional customs you can check the main website here. I really wanted an Adanola knitwear piece and frankly no regrets, even though i had to pay an extra €20 in customs. It was worth it!
Shoe wear, each year Dr Martens, UGG and Adidas are high on the list. In particular, this shade of Adidas Samba in brown that just launched. Bags, I’ve loved to see Longchamp rising in popularity. I have the exact bag linked and i have worn it non stop this year. Work, holidays, shopping – you name it. And still looks brand new, as i can easily wipe away any marks.
Demellier New York Midi is on my own wish list and most of yours too, alongside with Ganni Bou Bou. Both gorgeous and classic.

What the preteens and teens want this Christmas
Shopping for preteens and teenagers can be a mind-field. You want to make them happy and get the coveted Tik Tok famous product and still make sure their delicate skin is protected. Ive curated a couple of items that i know from my day job (i work in beauty) that are highly coveted. Also i took inspiration from my own daughters wish-list and what their friends are talking about. I must say they have excellent taste. Rule of thumb, stay away from retinol, vitamin c, acids and anything that says brightening on the packaging. A 10 year old skins is bright enough! Ceramides, hydrators, body mists and body care is generally safe – if the person isn’t allergic to fragrance. Heat-less curls sets, lip products and shimmers sprays are always well received too.
