There’s just over a week to go till the most wonderful day of the year and if you’re on a last minute gift-buying mission then look no further for inspiration. Here are 23 of my favourite gifts for women this year, including homeware, beauty, fashion, books & stationary and ofcourse, chocolate!

Gabrian photo frame from India Jane (add a photo inside to remind her of a happy memory) £18.50
YuYu hot water bottle (a super long and cuddly winter warmer) £33
Snowflake Christmas tree ornaments from ShalinIndia on Amazon (I love the idea of exchanging ornaments at Christmas – it could be the start of a fun tradition) £26.42, down from £43.10
L’Occitane hand wash & lotion duo (a luxury she may not buy for herself – also makes a great hostess gift) £38

The Gift Of Giving
Which is the most important gift of all. Crisis at Christmas is a charity that works to give the homeless a wonderful Christmas and helps them feel human again. Your donation will provide someone in need with a hot shower, clean clothes and a lovely Christmas dinner in a warm and welcoming place, off the streets.
Lovely selection! Love most of it.
