I don’t know about you girls, but the older I get the less I want! Is that weird?
It’s not that I dont want “stuff”, I do, I just don’t want random stuff that serves no purpose in my life, know what I mean?
The funny thing is, more and more women I speak to have said the same thing. They want cool shiz that makes their smiles grow and hearts flutter.
So instead of doing OTT Christmas wish lists, I thought I’d put together some small, but inexpensive gift ideas that you can hint-hint for your list to Santa, or if you’re looking to buy a fabulous friend something she’ll actually love this Christmas.
And, don’t worry, I’ve covered various price brackets too, starting from R60!
Here goes… my Ultimate Gift Guide for the woman who seems to have it all …
- Beauty Blender & Bling Ring (R600) – This is the ideal gift for the girl who loves makeup and pretty things on her vanity. Two birds, one stone. Stockists, call 0861 11 22 22

There are tons of beautiful pieces, in a wide range of colours, but this mini salt and pepper shaker set, will make her happy no matter how big or small her collection.
- If she hasn’t already experienced the joy of a Yankee Candle yet, then you need to show her the way! Why not buy her a medium candle (R295 online at Yankee Candle) – a great gift if you know her scent, otherwise why not create your own collection of miniature melts? These smaller candles (used in a burner) cost under R50 each and you can give her a few options to discover her favourite scent. Melts available at Yankee Candle stores nationwide.
