Santa Baby, hurry down the chimney tonight ... holiday gift inspirations

Are you still thinking about what to buy for your beloved ones - or are you short of ideas? It is still one week to go until X-Mas eve, so still some time to do some shopping. Here are some last minute gift ideas for any of our dearest family or friends. I would be glad to find any of these precious items under the tree.

For your daughter (who is a little fashionista and don't play with toys or dolls anymore ☺):

If you haven't already spotted these leopard jeans in her wardrobe or she hasn't begged you for money to buy these pants yet, then go for these 'IT jeans' of the season (seen on so many celebs) - she will get envious stares from her friends and you prove to be a cool mum/dad. Current Elliott leopard stilleto jeans


Some cool comfy shoes that will keep her feet warm but makes sure to stay stylish nonetheless. I find them sooo pretty in blue with the shearling lining that can be worn high or low. Dolfie shoes

Or go to the colorful jewellery by Venessa Arizaga. The bracelets with bold colored silk threads, heavy chains and bling bling charms are so beautiful that you can set a statement with one piece alone by just wearing some basic outfit to highlight its beauty. Venessa Arizaga jewellery


For your wife/girlfriend/mother (the most important women in our life):

A beautiful cocktail ring that combines 3 stones in one. Simply chose her favorite colors or stones and here you go. It will for sure become one of her favorites - and she will receive tons of compliments. Aamaya by Priyanka

If she hasn't got a warm leather jacket, a shearling jacket is always a nice option, especially if it comes with a modern twist. I think the most beautiful ones are from Giorgio Brato this season as I always fall in love with his leather jackets, whether they are washed leather, short or trench versions with asymmetric cuts or suede leather with shearling. Any of them will be welcome. Giorgio Brato


A nice beautiful bag will also show your indisputable fashion sense. If you chose one of the most stylish coveted bags this season that don't cost you a fortune, then go for any of the Pashli bags by Philip Lim. I also like the messanger style since it has longer straps but actually has a good medium size to fit all the important daily stuff that women tend to carry around. Philip Lim Pashli bag
And who can resist a beautiful scarf? I love Lily and Lionel designs so much. They look like gorgeous pictures/fotos in black/white/grey/sepia shades of your favorite cities like NY, London, Venice. But once draped over your neck/shoulder the motives are only subtly visible, leaving a great pattern in pretty colors. Lily and Lionel

For your best friend (who you want to reward for all the good and bad times you have gone through together):
If your friend needs some time to relax at home and you want to help her create a romantic or spa mood then chose one of the scented Ladurée candles. Their macarones are legendary, but their candles are also gorgeous. Their almond or brioche scented candles are so seductive that you could bite into them. But all of their scents are wonderful. Ladurée candles

A good luck or protection charm interpreted in a colorful way with dyed silk ties in a great variety of colors. It is hard to chose. All the symbols have a spiritual meaning and are so cute. Catherine Michiels jewellery

Want your friend to stay stylish in the cold? Then Warm-Me hats and beanies offer a beautiful range of wool, cashmere hats. They come in pretty neutral colors or in bright ones, such as pink or orange. Warm-Me

For our beloved men (it is hard to find something nice - actually not again socks or ties):
But if I were a fashionable man these would be the things I would love to have ☺ ...


A pair of Golden Goose sneakers - with a vintage look and a bit of bright color. Your man will wear them up and down because they are cool and comfortable and goes with all his leisure time outfits or also casual Friday looks. Golden Goose

Proenza Schouler's iPad case: Let him take care of getting the electronic gadgets himself, but provide him a beautiful outfit for it. If he has the iPad, then these cases really look beautiful and he won't need another bag anymore, since this is an eye catcher on its own. Proenza Schouler PS1 iPad case


If he doesn't own a cool bag or only black and brown ones, then a neon colored one is a great alternative - if your man dares to carry it. You can also get his initials or any insciption embossed to personalize it. I like these models a lot because they can be worn by women and men. My husband will get one for his birthday since we don't exchange gifts on christmas anymore (only for the kids). Cambridge satchel company

These would be the things on my wishlist. Hope you enjoy the choices, all the christmas shopping and preparations.
