Pampering Gifts She'll Adore
What woman wouldn't love receiving a little pampering and luxury this Christmas? Treat her to an at-home spa experience with scented candles, bath bombs, cosy robes, slippers and more. Or gift her a session at a local spa so she can completely relax and unwind. Here are some pampering Christmas gift ideas to spoil her with:
Luxury Robe and Slippers
There's nothing better after a relaxing bath or shower than wrapping up in a soft, comfortable robe and slippers. Look for a high quality cotton waffle robe in her favourite colour along with a pair of slippers like classic mule style or a slipper sock. Add in a candle, bath bomb or luxury hand cream and she'll feel like she's at a 5-star spa.
Spa Gift Basket
Create a custom spa basket with a selection of pampering treats like scented body lotions, shower gels, bath bombs, face masks, exfoliating scrubs, essential oils, candles, loofahs and more. Place it all in a decorative basket or bag and she'll be thrilled with this relaxing gift. Include a gift card to a local spa for a pampering treatment.
Massage Pillow
For the woman who frequently complains about sore, tense muscles, a shiatsu massage pillow could be the perfect gift. These cushioned pillows use heated nodes to knead out knots in the neck, shoulders and back. Find one with options to control direction, intensity and heat. She'll benefit from a massage any time she wants.
Manicure Set
Give her an at-home manicure kit that comes with nail files, clippers, cuticle tools, a range of nail polishes and more. Include nail buffers, top coat and a nail dryer for a complete manicure she can do herself. Add a bottle of hand cream or a gift card for a professional manicure.
Luxurious Bedding
Treat her to a better night's sleep with luxurious bed linens like soft sheet sets with a high thread count, cosy cashmere or velveteen blankets, or plush mattress toppers. Look for quality materials like Egyptian cotton or bamboo in her favourite colours. She'll wake up feeling pampered every morning.
Bathtime Upgrades
Upgrade her bath with accessories like bath pillows for comfort, bath caddies for holding books and drinks, candles and aromatherapy diffusers for relaxation. Or create a bath tea by filling a sachet with dried flowers, herbs and essential oils. Pair it with a fuzzy robe, bath bombs and a loofah for a complete bathtime gift set.
Personalised Gift Ideas
Sentimental customised gifts show how much time and thought you put into finding the perfect present. Make Christmas morning extra special with these personalised gift ideas she's sure to cherish:
Custom Jewellery
Personalised jewellery like necklaces, bracelets and rings engraved with her initials or a meaningful phrase make wonderful keepsakes. Look for necklaces with her birthstone or get a pendant with her name. Have it engraved on the back for a touching gift.
Photo Blanket
Surround her in memories with a cosy photo blanket. Upload cherished photos of family holidays, special moments, her wedding day or children. The photos get printed on a soft fleece blanket. Every time she uses it, she'll be reminded of happy memories.
Personalised Perfume
With a personalised perfume, you can create a signature scent just for her based on the fragrances she loves. Start by selecting the scent family like floral, fresh or oriental. Next choose her favourite notes like vanilla, jasmine or sandalwood. The perfume brand will use your choices to create a customised formula.
Embroidered Robe
Surprise her Christmas morning with a comfy, cotton robe elegantly embroidered with her initials or name. Look for plush robes available in a range of colours so you can pick her favourite. She'll feel like royalty every time she wears her monogrammed robe.
