As chosen by team Marie Claire UK…
There’s no better time than Christmas to show your loved ones how much you care. We don’t know about you, but we are so looking forward to celebrating with our friends and family this year, and it’s got us thinking about what thoughtful gifts we can give.
Although shopping for gifts can be fun, we’d be lying if we didn’t say that it also instills a little bit of panic in us – especially with Black Friday (opens in new tab) around the corner.
But don’t stress – as we’ve got you covered.
This is where our handy Christmas gift guide ‘for her’ comes in, covering all your present-buying needs whether you’re shopping for your sister, mother-in-law, daughter or even that annoying colleague whose name you pulled out in the dreaded Secret Santa.
Keep on scrolling for all of our recommendations from Missoma jewellery (opens in new tab) to foodie tech (hello Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser (opens in new tab)) and luxury candles (opens in new tab), because these are the gems that we would like to see under our Christmas trees (opens in new tab). Our recommendations across fashion, beauty and lifestyle guarantee maximum happiness and smiles all around.
While you’re here, don’t forget to check out our guides to the best Christmas candles (opens in new tab), the best Christmas hampers (opens in new tab) and even the best personalised gifts (opens in new tab) to show someone how much they really mean this festive season.
And don’t worry about what to buy the men in your life either, as there’s a great selection of Christmas gifts for him (opens in new tab), too.
So, take a deep breath, pour yourself a mulled wine, grab your credit card and start scrolling.
Happy shopping!

Givenchy’s iconic lipstick has been reinvented in a new, eco-conceived formula which glides effortlessly over the lips like silk, delivering a luminous, semi-matte finish.
