Christmas gifts.......

Hello everyone,

I am sure most of you out there have already started your Christmas gifts shopping. If you did I hope you had lots of fun and had a successful one. If you still haven't and you are still unsure what to buy your loved ones, friends and colleagues this post might help you a little to clear your ideas and may be to get some new ones.

THE RIGHT GIFT FOR WOMEN

  • A GOOD BOOK (one which you loved and would recommend to others or one you have heard about) can be great for anyone. It can be cheap or expensive depending on the type you choose. And it can be a good gift for loved ones as well as acquaintances. Here is my good reads post  where you lots of good books' titles http://alessiapearl.blogspot.com/2011/11/some-good-reads.html.


  • MAKEUP & BEAUTY PRODUCTS (from small inexpensive drugstore products to more high end high cost ones) can be the right gift for your mum, your sister, auntie, friend, colleague, mother in law, girlfriend, wife and also grandma. FOR MEN WHO HATE BUYING GIRLY THINGS IN SHOPS YOU CAN BUY THEM ONLINE HERE.......
  • SCARFS, SOCKS, LEG WARMERS, PAJAMAS, SLIPPERS, HOUSE COATS, COZY HATS are all great small gifts which you can give your mum, grandma, sister, friend, partner auntie and mother in law on its own if you have a low budget or as part of a gift bag if you want to spend more. 
  • GIFT BAGS containing various gifts like a good book; few makeup and beauty products; some basic warm garment like a scarf, a cozy hat or pajamas; cakes, chocolates and sweets......and much more.
  • THEMED HAMPERS can be Italian (containing pasta, pasta sauces, fresh parmesan, Mediterranean vegetables in jars, Sicilian almond cookies, cured hams, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar.....); Sweets (including cakes, chocolates, candies, champagne and much more; Spirits (including various alcoholic drinks like Whiskey, Baileys, Brandy and whatever you like); Wine & Cheese (including various types of wine and cheese); Gluten Free baskets (including GF cereal, biscuits, cakes, pasta, crackers.....); Dairy Free baskets (including soy/rice/almond milk, DF cream, DF butter, and other dairy free products).
  • CLOTHES......A cardigan is ideal for someone you don't know the exact size or taste because open cardigans are something worn by almost all women from young to older and there are ones like waterfall which can be one size or can fit more than one size. Choose a nice colour which goes well with the person's skin tone and she will love it!


  • VOUCHERS for clothes, shoes, makeup and anything else are the ideal gift for someone you really don't know what to get. And you can still stick to your budget.
  • HANDBAGS & SHOES.....Most women will adore these especially if it's their partner to buy it.
