Here’s your Christmas gift guide for 2025, with the 5-gift rule in mind:
Something They Want
Jewellery: A Sentimental Sparkle
You can never go wrong with jewellery. From dainty gold chains to bold statement earrings, a piece of jewellery adds instant shine. Think friendship bracelets, layered necklaces, or anything that matches her aesthetic.
Bags: A girl’s Best friend
Every fashion girl knows the right bag completes the outfit. Choose a sleek shoulder bag, a practical crossbody bag, or a glittery clutch for party season. Bonus points if it matches her fave shoes!
Something They Need
Nightwear: Sweet Dreams Bestie
Take her night-in game to the next level with some chic nightwear. Chic PJs, a cosy dressing gown, or silky sets are a must for our cosy queens. Extra points if you go for festive pjs or something in her fave colours.
Socks & Slippers: Treat Her Feet
Seasonal essentials with a stylish twist. Cosy socks or fun printed tights keep her warm while adding a cute touch to her winter outfits. And when it comes to slippers, faux fur and suede styles are big players in our 2025 Christmas gift guide.
Something To Wear
Loungewear: The Cosy Christmas gift guide
We all need cosy vibes post-Christmas. Oversized hoodies, soft tracksuits, or cute matching loungewear sets are a guaranteed hit. Perfect for those lazy days, between Boxing Day and NYE.
Fragrance: something Smelly
A Christmas gift guide wouldn’t be complete without something smelly. A fresh fragrance is the perfect prezzie for showing your bestie you know what she likes. Plus, she’ll think about you every time she wears this gorg scent.
Something to Read
Modern Magazines
A fave for reading in bed or the bath, magazines are the perfect present for aesthetic girlies. From fashion faves like Vogue and Cosmopolitan to hobby-specific mags for crafty girls or foodies. Show you know her like the back of your hand with the perfect magazine.
Books: Hit Her BookTok Era
If your bestie is heavy in her booktok era, double down with a good read. Whether it’s sneaky smut, fantasy fiction, or a trending novel, pick a read she’ll actually get lost in. Pair it with hot chocolate or herbal tea for a top-tier cosy night in.
Something to Do
Reservations: Boujie Dinners & Quality Time
If you haven’t had enough quality time with your bestie this month, a dinner reservation is the perfect gift. An excuse to get dressed up in her fave dress and slip into some killer heels, a fancy restaurant lets you look forward to the new year.
City break: Memories Over Material
What to buy someone who has everything and means everything to you. If your bestie has been your rock this season, go all out with a city break trip. A chance to showcase your city break outfits, a short trip to Dublin, Barcelona, or Paris is the perfect chance to show your best friend how much you appreciate them.
