My fave 2012 Christmas gifts: week 4

Ok, so last week’s gift guide will be hard to beat.

Seriously loved every gift on the page and would be very, very happy if Santa got wind of that little list.

But. I know you want more. So, I’ve been browsing. And boy have I found more.

And a few more gift giving tips for you too. This week these should be printed out and handed to the man in your life for safe-keeping. This Christmas and beyond

Gift giving tip #10

Buying a woman skincare or makeup can be risky business. Especially if they are, how shall we put it? A little beauty obsessed. The key here is to do a little makeup bag and bathroom cabinet spying. Is there a brand that they seem to own and use more of? Take note and look for a gift pack {technical term is coffret} from those brands. These coffrets usually offer good value and bonuses. Everybody wins.

Gift giving tip #11

In keeping with the theme of risky business, if by chance you happen to be a male reading this here post and thinking that you’d like to indulge the woman in your life with a little lingerie, then please take note. You need to do your research. You can’t go into a store and make two “cup” shapes with your hands to describe her bosies and hope that the sales assistant can translate that to a bra. Dig around in her smalls’ drawer and find a bra she wears a lot. There will be a number and one or two letters after the number. You need this “code” for a lingerie buying mission.

What you also need to remember is that while you may have visions of us in a tiny scrap of fabric, we may not share those and prefer something a bit more on the subtle side of sexy.

Gift giving tip #12

Guys, if the special woman in your life leads a particularly busy life. That the only time out she knows of is something dished out on small children. Then can I suggest a time out voucher. Specifically, a pampering experience voucher. For one hour, one day or a whole weekend. Then make yourself very available to look after any small children when she cashes in that voucher.
