A piece of statement jewelry
Jewelry is one of the most sentimental gift ideas you can purchase for Christmas. It is the perfect way to tell someone you care about them when you can’t find the words to do so. It is also very versatile as it comes in many designs and colors, so it can easily accommodate anyone’s style and taste.
For example, pearl jewelry is an excellent choice as pearls are a valuable gemstone that doesn’t lose its value and it is suitable for all skin tones. Depending on your friend’s likes, you can choose between the classic pearl strand, a stunning pair of pearl earrings or a single pearl bracelet to make their holidays even merrier.
If you are looking for something more personal, you can opt for a matching engraved necklace.
Fashionable clothing
If your best friend is a true fashion lover, then a great Christmas gift idea you should consider buying is a fashionable piece of clothing. Depending on what your price range is, you can choose anything from a graphic tee with funny and inspirational quotes or you can also choose from marvel merch to a stylish overcoat to help take their fashion game to the next level.
For example, if your BFF loves coffee, then you can search for a top style that combines both fashion and your friend’s love for their java and their faith. One such top is the coffee and Jesus shirt which is the perfect gift to keep your coffee aficionado feeling good all day long while making them feel comfortable and stylish at the same time.
Wrap it up with a few coffee-related accessories and instantly surprise your friend.
A cosmetic beauty bag
If your friend is all about following a proper skincare routine, then a cosmetic beauty bag is another Christmas gift idea you should consider. It is such a chic, adorable and undeniably practical present which you can put together yourself and wrap in a cute basket.
A typical cosmetic beauty bag should include a face cream that suits your friend’s skin tone and needs, a moisturizing body lotion, makeup products such as a lipstick of your friend’s favorite shade, a multicolored eyeshadow palette and mascara. Don’t forget to add a smaller size fragranced perfume and a few aromatic candles your friend can use for their next spa session at home.
Complete your gift basket with a charming leather beauty case and a silk mask set.
A winter survival gift box
Wintertime is characterized by subfreezing temperatures, so if you are looking for a gift idea that keeps up with the spirit of Christmas, then consider making a winter survival gift box. This is such a useful present which you can easily create yourself simply by putting a few items together.
To make the perfect winter survival gift box you will need a cozy blanket, a pair of warm, printed socks, a large mug for hot cocoa and a mason jar filled with chocolate candy. Place all items in a small wooden crate which you can also decorate to make the gift more personal and Christmas-y.
For example, you can write a festive quote and add holiday ornaments such as pine boughs, candy canes, bells and snowflakes.
