Christmas gifts

Now that my wifi is finally working again, I can write a new post and shock! It's about Christmas gifts. I'd like to share with you some of my ideas for the upcoming holiday that's all about presents.
Here are some:

Perfumes
Everyone loves a good scent, so you can never really go wrong with a perfume, as long as you know that the person will like the scent and has already used the perfume you're about to give them. It would be such a shame and waste to spend money on something that's just going to collect dust on a shelf; for that purpose you can get them a figurine or something similar. Here are some of trendy perfumes at the moment, taken from Sephora's website:

My Burberry

Gadgets
If you're looking for a gift for that special someone and you're able to spend a bit more money, a phone, tablet or any other gadget can make your geek really happy this year. You can even personalize some of them, such as the Apple iPod Touch  which you can have engraved with a personalized message. Another great idea is the Apple watch, also available in collaboration with Hermes, although a lot more expensive.

Gift cards
This is a great idea if you're in a need of a gift for a colleague or someone you don't know very well, but know where they might be spending their money. There are all sorts of gift cards with all kinds of spending amounts, such as Starbucks, Olive Garden, H&M, Spotify gift cards, you name it.

Personalized gifts
This is a great gift for someone special in your life, your spouse, mother, sister, it's your choice. Usually, this type of gift belongs to the luxury category and can be quite expensive. I already mentioned the engraved iPod and there are so many other different products that can also be engraved. Speaking of luxury items, companies such as Burberry and Louis Vuitton have a great offer when it comes to personalized stuff. Burberry, for example, has a ''scarf bar''  where you can have initials embedded in a scarf and Louis Vuitton offers a free of charge service of hot stamping initials or even whole words/names on their products. Louis Vuitton also offers the ''Mon Monogram'' service, but the waiting time for these products to be made and delivered to you can take up to 8 weeks.

Gift baskets
Many supermarkets and specialized stores offer this type of gifts for the upcoming holidays. They usually contain a bottle of wine or spirit, some candy, artisan products such as jams, cheese, sausages, pasta, etc. They're a great gift for families and those who can appreciate good food and wine, but this gift comes with a ''nice'' price tag.

DIY gifts
If you're talented and creative, why not making a gift for the person you know will appreciate it? It's a great, personal gift that's usually inexpensive and it comes right from your heart.
