The best Christmas gifts for her

Oxford Street is world-renowned for its high-fashion and high-street stores, so you’ve got plenty of choice, whether she’d prefer an investment purchase such as a coat, PJs to cosy up in or something to dress up in for party season. We love Mango’s ruffle dress, a perfect take on the boho trend, Initimissimi’s chic robe, Dune’s party-perfect shoes and Benetton’s reversible knit coat.

A beauty gift is the gift that keeps on giving, since it’s not only the gift of indulgent beauty products, it’s also the gift of ‘me time’. Whether it’s fragrance, skincare or a pampering treatment you’re after, there’s plenty to choose from. Including Estee Lauder’s beautiful eyes gift set, Superdrug’s makeup brush set and Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle perfume. For something truly indulgent, book her in for the Synaesthesia treatment at Lush Spa, an 80-minute massage that offers a body and mind experience that treats all five senses.

Jewellery gifts are some of the most personal of all, and no matter your budget, you can get something lovely for your loved ones on Oxford Street. Don’t believe us? Try Pandora’s lab-grown diamond earrings, H. Samuel’s wavy silver ring, Swarovski’s crystal necklace or Lovisa’s rose gold tone cuff.

If you can afford to push the boat out a little, a luxury present such as a designer handbag or expensive watch will no doubt go down a treat. Head to Selfridges for Saint Laurent’s Loulou bag, Flannels for Alexander McQueen ankle boots, John Lewis for a Sage barista coffee machine and Omega for a timeless watch.

Whether the woman in your life is into hiking, swimming, yoga or just loves athleisure, there’s a sports gift for her on Oxford Street. Of course, you can never go wrong with new trainers from Foot Locker, or a sweatshirt from JD Sports. Bosideng’s performance down jackets are great for anything outdoors, and Sports Direct have a great yoga set for the eco-conscious yogis.

Mix beauty with tech with Dyson’s Airwrap gift set, always high on everyone’s wishlist for Christmas. For something that does it all, opt for an Apple Smartwatch, which you can purchase from Currys. Photographers will enjoy the selection of cameras at Jessops, including this Fujifilm X-T30 II, and anyone working from home will love Microsoft’s Surface laptop.

A little bit of Hygge in the home makes for perfect winter days, so a gift for the home is a great idea. Think an aroma diffuser from Rituals, pretty baubles from M&S, a lamp from T.K.Maxx or a decanter set from John Lewis.

‘Tis the season of overindulgence, so you might as well go all in with food and drink gifts. From experience, these always go down a treat, with even the fussiest of recipients. We love Selfridges’ milk chocolate-covered pistachios and Edinburgh Preserves’ River hamper. For a healthy option, M&S have some great fruit and date baskets. If all else fails, a cocktail masterclass from Matalan is always a winner.
