Gift Ideas for Her

Today I have the Gift Guide for her on the blog and tomorrow I'll do one for the guys as well. 

This one is not specifically just for the girlfriend, but also for mothers, friends, sisters, cousins etc. 

Chilly Bottles - https://www.chillysbottles.com

These bottle are brilliant, pretty and just great. they don't leak and they keep things warm or cold for 24 hours. There are so many designs available, I had difficulties make a decision.

These gift sets are fabulous! There are so many different ranges, you will find something for everyone. Shower foams, body lotions, body scrubs, bed mists, candles etc. So many choices. 

Phone Cases - https://idealofsweden.com

Women love a pretty phone case. I recently discovered iDealofSweden, they have great cases and so many choices and the quality is very good.

Books - Amazon, Waterstones etc. 

Books are always a great present, especially when you you the person loves reading. It doesn't even have to be a fictional book. How about the Hygge book?! :) 

Prints, Stationery, Planners etc. - Etsy, Anthropologie etc. 

Who doesn't love a lovely print or quote on the wall?! Planners and stationery go into the same direction. 

Obviously something personal is always a wonderful option too. Frame a photo, make a photo book etc. 

Gift Ideas for Him

Today I have the Gift Guide for him on the blog and yesterday I did one for the ladies as well. 

This one is not specifically just for the boyfriend, but also for fathers, friends, brothers, cousins etc. 

Rituals Gift Set - https://www.rituals.com/

These gift sets are fabulous! There are so many different ranges, you will find something for everyone. Shower foams, body lotions, body scrubs, bed mists, candles etc. So many choices also for men. 

Watches, wallets etc. 

They are classical and available in so many different styles and sizes. 

Sport related things 

Every guy likes some kind of sport: hockey, football, skiing etc. And there are so many possibilities for presents. It can be tickets to a game, a gift card for the fan shop, a calendar etc. 

Clothes

Men usually don't like going shopping too much. You can't go wrong with a jumper or scarf, especially if you know they person really well. You know their style, what brands they wear and what they like and that makes a decision easier. 

Obviously something personal is always a wonderful option too. Frame a photo, make a photo book etc. 

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

In Switzerland Mother’s Day is in May, May 14th to be precise. I know that it’s the case in some other countries as well, but countries like the UK had it in March already. I still decided to post this gift guide, because I have a lot of readers from the States and Switzerland, plus if you live in the UK you can still use it, maybe as a birthday present.

Of course there are these clichées presents for mother’s day, like flowers, cleaning the car or cooking a dinner and yes I always do that, but I think it’s important to add something very personal as well.

Personalized things are always a runner, that can be jewellery which is engraved, a bag with initials or including a photo. For me it’s significant that I show my mom how much I love her and and how important she is for me. I always show her, but on Mother’s day even more. Here are my ideas for gifts:

(Engraved) Jewelry

From bracelets, over necklaces to earrings, there are so many possibilities. You know the taste of your mom, maybe look at the jewellery she already has and then off you go. Some good brands:

-       Phantasya

-       SENCE

-       Cadenzza
-    by Olga Ribler

Perfumes

Perfumes are tricky, because everyone has a special taste and if you buy the wrong one, it’s not ideal. The fact the it’s your mother might make it easier, because you (might) know what perfumes she likes. Here are some ideas:

-       Burberry

-       Chanel

-       RalphLauren

Eyeshadow Palettes

If your mom loves beauty, that’s a good present. Try to find out what shades she likes and maybe she has been eyeing one for a while. Some ideas:

-       UrbanDecay

-       Tarte

-       Too Faced

Scarfs

I’m pretty sure there is at least one colour your mom really wants, because of an outfit, here is your chance. I haven’t really come up with a list of brands here, because there are so many.

Beauty Sets/ Gift Sets

A little perfume, a bag, maybe a scarf, the possibilities are endless and a lot of brands offer them, you can even create your own:

-       ToryBurch

-       Lilly Pulitzer

-       Rituals

-        

Jewelry Box

I absolutely love them and I got my mom one last year, she loved it too.

-       Anthropologie

(Make Up) Bag, Clutch, Wallet

She might need a new one or she likes one very much.

-       Coach

-       Furla

-       Coccinelle

Books

Whether it’s women’s fiction, a mystery or even a book about beauty or fashion, there is something for every woman.

Photos/Pictures

Photos of you and your mom, a collage and picture you made, a little scrapbook you created, I’m sure your mom will love it.

I hope there have been some ideas for you. Etsy is always great to find things and you can also get a lot of personalised things there.
