Make her holiday merry and bright by keeping your eyes peeled for these items that you could be potentially stuffing underneath her Christmas tree and let’s not forget her stocking. Make that list and be sure to check it twice!

Something Nostalgic

Letters from Father Christmas

Author J.R.R. Tolkien might be known for his epic works of fantasy but prior to his success with The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, he penned a collection of written letters that he illustrated as well from the perspective of Father Christmas to his children. The letters were about the many adventures of Father Christmas and this is a wonderful book to read for both young and old.

Something Vintage

Something bubbly

Something fun

Something for beauty

Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin Collection

Just in time for the festive season, Christian Louboutin launches his holiday collection with a set that comes in three iconic shades and formulas. Made to complement women of all skin tones, the limited edition collection comes to life  with a gunmetal chain to go with the silver, gold and black finish of the pieces.

Something to serve

Amare Serving Set

Nothing will pair as flawlessly with your holiday setting as a serving collection by Amare that’s aesthetically pleasing and actually serves its purpose. The mid-century silhouette features gilded metal bases that’s topped off with translucent alabaster lids. The salt and pepper set, creamer and sugar bowl come in three different finishes: gold, stainless steel and rose gold.

Here’s one thing that you should know about the sugar bowl: you’ll be happy to know (at least for us) that the teaspoon in the sugar bowl is actually volumetrically one teaspoon. Cutting down the job for you whilst looking visually appealing, if we do say so ourselves. 

Something to stay taut

Tangram Smart Rope Fitness Tracker

Tangram developed a skip rope that accurately catalogs your fitness performance in a simple format. The grips come in an innovative 45-degree angle that allows the handles to be held naturally. The LED strip displays your fitness data: calories burned and interval training data. Oh, and get this: the smart rope only needs to be fully charged for two hours and can be used for 36 hours.

Efficient and sophisticatedly designed, we can’t say that she won’t thank you for it!
