You might think it’s too early to talk about gift ideas for women, but since Autumn is finally upon us, there’s no better time to plan ahead and give yourself time to find the most thoughtful presents for the women in your life, from your mum to your sister and partner.
Jewellery gifts for women
You’ll be hard pressed to find something more meaningful than a jewellery gift, and the good news is there is a style to suit all budgets on Oxford Street. You can’t go wrong with a lovely gold necklace, like this heart necklace from Lovisa, which is gold plated. Alternatively, try this iconic Swarovski swan necklace in rose gold. There are plenty of gorgeous women’s earrings to be found at Pandora, including these sterling silver stud earrings. If it’s a classic timepiece you’re after, try this Michael Kors watch, or this Seiko wristwatch from H. Samuel. If budget is no issue, then you can also shop some gorgeous Bvlgari jewellery and Rolex watches for women in store at Selfridges.
Beauty gifts for women
There’s no denying the mood-boosting power of makeup, so that’s a safe Christmas gift idea for her. Laneige lip balm is known for making lips moisturised and luminous, and the Dreamy Lip kit includes four fruity sleep masks. NYX’s butter gloss is perfect for delivering that glossy, plump look, and Charlotte Tilbury’s face palette will give her the perfect dewy cheeks and comes in a sweet heart box (the ideal Christmas gift for girlfriends). If it’s skincare you’re after, look no further than this game-changing Augustinus Bader skincare set or Drunk Elephant’s brightening set, both of which you can shop at Space NK. Most women don’t usually tend to splurge on a designer fragrance, so Prada’s Paradoxe Eau de Parfum won’t go unwanted.
Fashion gifts for women
Winter coats for women make for the perfect gift, since they’re an investment piece they might not necessarily splurge on. From long coats to parka coats and puffer coats, there are many styles to shop from at the likes of Dune London, Ecco, Massimo Dutti, Zara and John Lewis. A classic choice is this double breasted longline coat from M&S, which you can dress up with a knitted dress and knee-high boots, or down with a chunky jumper, jeans and trainers. If you’d rather play it safe, then budget-friendly accessories such as a soft-like-cashmere hat, fancy PJs, slippers or a wallet are all great options.
Interiors gifts for women
During those short winter days, anything that can make the home a little brighter and cosier is a good idea. A bit of inspiration for you: a Christmas candle from Muji, Next’s cute bow cushion, Muji’s home fragrance diffuser, a Byredo candle from TK Maxx, H&M’s tall amber-hued vase and Urban Outfitters’ cute mushroom planter.
Food gifts for women
A Christmas hamper is a dream come true, and no one does them like M&S, John Lewis and Selfridges. Delicious treats include chocolate florentines, strawberry preserves, tea and prosecco, to keep the indulgence going well into January. For stocking fillers, we love the retro sweets at Flying Tiger and tasty biscuits and drinks at Ikea.
Gifts for mum for Christmas
We’d be remiss to forget the most important woman in your life, your mum, so it’s only fitting to include a whole category for gifts for mums. Whether she’s into crafting, reading or beauty treatments, we’ve got you covered, although we know she’ll love whatever you get her, because it’s from you.
As a stocking filler for her, why not donate to our Christmas charity partner on their behalf. For a second year we are proud to have partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity to help them continue to support seriously ill children. Donate below, all proceeds will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.
