My family can always count on me being one of the first to drop my Christmas list – complete with handy links and images – into the Whatsapp group chat. But usually, my ideas are quickly syphoned off to great aunts and grandparents, who are understandably pretty clueless about what to get a twenty-something.
People like my partner and parents generally have to go it alone when it comes to finding me something special. But thankfully for them, my list is not the be-all and end-all! From luxurious candles to cult-favourite eyeshadow palettes, there are loads of fail-safe gifts out there that almost any adult woman would be very happy to receive.
So, consider this your guide to some great presents for the marvellous millennial woman in your life who enjoys curating an aesthetic home, being super cosy, having far too many skincare products, and looking like she’s got her sh*t together (when she most definitely hasn’t).
I’m by no means saying we’re all the same, but…

Buy your belle this subtly sentimental necklace that’s suitable for everyday wear
I always find jewellery tricky to include in gift guides, as every person’s taste is so different, but I reckon you’d struggle to find someone who wouldn’t love to unwrap this gorgeous necklace. Featuring two interlinked rings that have been handcrafted in gold vermeil, it just feels like the perfect piece for the main romantic woman in your life.

Treat someone who’s always taking pictures to a polaroid camera
My boyfriend got me this polaroid camera for Christmas last year, and it is genuinely one of the best presents I’ve ever received. It’s so nice to actually have physical copies of your photos — but using the Notes app on an iPhone, you can also easily scan them in as digital copies, too.

Give a set of LED candles to a lover of aesthetic ambient lighting
If she’s constantly burning through candles — or is always forgetting to blow them out before she leaves the house — then this set of three LED ones will truly change her life. They actually look really realistic, and I love that their amber wax gives them a far more rustic feel.

Get a design-obsessed gal the perfect coffee table book
I’d honestly say I put some kind of coffee table book in my Amazon basket at least once a month, but end up chickening out because they just seem like quite a luxurious expense. So I reckon this gorgeous — yet relatively affordable — option would be a really welcome gift for any fellow lover of all things interior design.
