Shop online at Monica Vinader if you’re looking for simple but elegant pieces like a fine-beaded chain bracelet or a snake chain necklace.

10. Cute Ceramics & Tableware

Oh, aren’t we all just obsessed with beautiful tablescapes these days? We’ve spotted some beautiful (and budget-friendly!) gift-worthy tablecloths and napkins from Dilip Textiles, and if you’re really looking to treat someone, shop for beautiful vases and other homeware at Bowerbird Ceramics, which features hand-painted pieces that would make a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves functional home decor.

11. Christmas Gift for Health Conscious: Juicer

This one’s for all the healthy ladies out there who love sipping on a cup of freshly squeezed juice! The Kuvings Ravenous Romeo Slow Juicer (pictured above, $599) not only extracts the juice but all of the yummy nutrients with it. Though it’s pricey as a Christmas gift, it’s certainly worth it for someone who plans to drink juice daily. For a more budget-friendly Christmas present, check out Tefal’s Juice Extractor ($70.50) or Breville’s Juicer ($298), though these more affordable counterparts won’t be able to extract the much-needed nutrients. A word of warning — this Christmas gift idea is only for someone who you know wants this practical present and is hesitant to buy it themself (perhaps due to the price tag).

It even has a self-timer so you can set this polaroid on a tripod and join in the photo too! We would love receiving this Christmas present ourselves so here’s hoping it’s well received!

There’s nothing like kicking back on the couch after a long day with the kids and popping open a bottle of something cold and refreshing. 1664 Prestige is an elegant wheat beer with a champagne twist, that’s brilliantly bubbly, audaciously French and fab for any festive celebratory moment. Brewed with champagne yeast from France, 1664 Prestige boasts a medium-dry and fresh palate featuring delicate bubbles reminiscent of champagne. Its notes of citrus, white peach, and a hint of spice create a playful yet elegant flavour profile—a cheeky take on champagne and a refined twist on traditional beer.
