This is my most favourite time of the year…
My Christmas tree was up the morning of December 1st, I’ve got Christmas carols AND my favourite Christmas movies on repeat; and my gifts are all wrapped up and ready to go!
How about you? Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
To help some of you with your gift purchasing, I have developed a Gift Guide for Her in conjunction with the Canberra Centre’s Christmas Gift Guide.
It goes into detail about gifts for the Fashionistas, Beauty Aficionado’s and Home Entertainers in your life.
So, if you’re struggling with what to buy, or just need a little more inspiration, take a look…

If her life’s mantra is “smell good, look good, feel good,” then here is a run down of just what to buy for the beauty enthusiast in your life: a fresh and floral scent for spritzing, a skin care favourites pack housed in a chic cosmetic bag, or a swanky eye-shadow palette.

The great thing about trendsetters is they can never have enough to wear. There’s always a new and must-have shoe, handbag, dress or necklace that gets the fashion lover’s heart racing.
Take a look below at what to get a fashionista you know this Christmas.
