WHAT TO GET THE GIRLIES FOR SECRET SANTA
It’s that time of year!!
Christmas is just around the corner—if your tree isn’t up yet, this weekend is the perfect time to bite the bullet. I absolutely adore this season, but Secret Santa with friends, family, or even random co-workers can sometimes be nerve-wracking—especially when the whole “silly gift” thing is off the table.
Whether you need inspiration for your bestie, little sister, partner’s mum, girlfriend, or work wife, I’ve got you covered.
This curated selection of all things home, fashion, and self, has something divine for all the girlies in your life. Guaranteed. My current obsession is the Crumbs cookie cookbook, packed with delicious recipes perfect for the holiday season—an ideal gift for the baker in the family.
Or, if you’re feeling a bit more romantic, treat your sweetheart to the Sinful Rose perfume by Mihan Aromatics, for a sultry summer vibe.
Happy shopping cuties x
FOR HOME.
Salut to the Christmas season! FAZEEK’s chic green coupe glass duo is designed to be the highlight of your at-home cocktail hour. This vibrant, artistic, and fashionably striking pair will instantly elevate your table setting and make every sip feel special. It’s the perfect gift for your artsy bestie, especially when paired with a delicious bottle of bubbles; or a stunning addition to your own festive decor.
The ultimate inspiration for summer treats and Christmas-themed cookies alike. Bursting with baking recipes from every corner of the globe, Crumbs takes you on a delicious journey across continents, exploring traditional cookie-making methods that celebrate culture and flavour. Perfect for adding a worldly twist to your festive baking repertoire. This is my no. 1 recommendation to gift the mumsies this year.
Because nothing says romance quite like a single rose. Picture it: a delicate bloom peeking out of your stocking, nestled among the branches of your tree, or tied elegantly with the ribbon on a thoughtful gift. It’s a gesture sure to melt any heart—mine included. I’m a sucker for timeless romance, and Christmas is the perfect season to share those sweet, heartfelt moments. Go on, spoil your boo.
FOR WARDROBE.
The cutest, most comfortable, and covetable ‘kinis I’ve ever tried. I’ve never walked out of a swimwear try-on session loving every piece before. The fabric (made from recyclable plastic materials) feels incredibly smooth and fits perfectly. Nothing digs in or fits awkwardly. These pieces feel like they were truly designed to be worn by women. Get these for your sister this summer, to spread the body love!
These pieces make the most stunning staples for your jewellery collection. They’re the perfect gift for a special bestie who deserves something stunning this year. Made in Australia, each piece is crafted with thoughtfulness and care, and you can truly feel the quality in every design. I’m especially in love with their ring collection at the moment and highly recommend gifting the Essence Stacking Ring Set to your bestie. The set is versatile, timeless, and a staple that will suit anyone looking for elegant, wearable jewellery.
The perfect summer shoulder bag satchel for carrying essentials and a beach sarong for spontaneous swims. I take mine everywhere—the tan colour with olive green lining adds just the right touch of neutrality to my often excessively bright and bubbly outfits. The leather is divine, and the bag holds just the right amount of girly bits and bobs. It’s the perfect gift for your busybody friend.
FOR SELF.
The beautiful Melbourne-based brand has created the perfect gender-neutral, spice-enhanced scents. A personal favourite, Sinful Rose, makes me feel like I’m living in a summer romance movie every time I wear it. The Turkish rose and vanilla notes linger beautifully on my skin for hours. The 30ml bottle is the perfect stocking filler for your sweetheart.
The perfect shades of everyday skin-tint that will protect you from the summer sun while you’re on the move. I adore summer; however, it’s especially important to take care of our skin during this time of year. The shade Golden Medium will be my sunscreen warrior for the next few months—with the smoothest consistency and the best coverage, The KIND Collective have out done themselves. This is a perfect gift for your work bestie, along with the lip balm below.
It will fill you with a sense of nostalgia, understanding, and reliability, especially for those who have experienced heartbreak. I couldn’t stop talking about it for weeks—Dolly’s words resonate with so many of us, always offering a mix of hilarity, deep yet subtle wisdom, and a touch of reality that leaves you feeling both wobbly and seen in a way that’s unmatched. Get this for your friend who has just gone through a breakup, or a single friend about to live their hot-girl summer. I found it transformational.
To keep your bathroom smelling fresh and clean, No.2 Co has created a 'post-flush perfume drop' product that’s guaranteed to take away any possible embarrassment you might feel at your friend’s Christmas lunch. This post-poop product will save you and the bathroom with its subtle citrus aromas. It’s also very cute—cute enough to shamelessly display in the bathroom and carry with you if needed. No.2 Co is also giving back by supporting the Crohn’s and Colitis Australia (CCA) organisation this holiday season. For every bottle purchased, the brand will donate 10% of sales to CCA to help fight Crohn’s disease. This gift is absolutely applicable to everyone, especially your girliest of friends.
It smells incredible, the lip feel is balmy and beautiful, the colour is subtle and perfect for everyday, and the SPF protection is the cherry on top. Gift the gift of a luscious pout! And guess what—it’s sun-safe too. Heaven. The perfect gift for beachgoers, sun lovers, and the girls who always need a hat. Gift one of KIND’s gorgeous shades to your bestie this summer.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Wishing you a stress-less Kris-Kringle.
With love,
Xx
