SANTA HAS A NEW SUPERFAN
It is already December and marching closer to Christmas! The decorations are all up, the invites for Christmas events are competing one another in the calendar, plus it is getting warm here in Perth. My beautiful daughter Navy is turning two in two weeks and I’m busy planning her party. But first, I have to share the annual Christmas Gift Guide. This year takes us to 8 years in a row. I love creating these guides.
Are you stuck on what to give this year? Nothing yet under the tree? No dramas, I have you covered with plenty of beautiful ideas below. Once again, broken up into categories like beauty, wellness and for toddlers or babies, there are great ideas. Furthermore, this year I’ve broken each category up to $100+, under $100 and under $50. Keep scrolling for all the inspiration and links.
I had to share one of these photos from a cute morning tea we went to with Santa! Navy soon became a superfan, she is thrilled to see any suggestion or decoration of Santa every day. We have done a bit of our Christmas shopping together, which went surprisingly well. Navy had a ball looking at all of the decorations.
THE 2023 INSPIRING WIT CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
SKINCARE GIFT IDEAS
Skincare gifts are always lovely. While we are all busy doing our things, time to prioritize self-care is vital. A skincare gift says, “I want you to feel your best.” Giving a beautiful home spa experience, even if it only lasts a few minutes a day, is lovely. When it comes to a luxury skincare brand, it might just be a special treat that someone on your gift list wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves. Below I’ve included gift sets and products from my favourite brands and some new brands I am looking forward to trying. Gifts to show how much you are thinking of someone, that they will use daily, making a routine task that much more memorable.

Violette_FR Petal Bouche Matte Lip Colour RRP: $45.00
Exclusive to Mecca in Australia, I was super excited to get my hands on some Violette_FR products when it launched a few months ago. First on my list was this stunning lip colour. Why? I’d heard Violette describe her inspiration behind this colour and had to try it.
“Petal Bouche is inspired by an unforgettable black rose that I saw at Jardin Bagatelle in Paris when I was just eight years old. It was powerful, fiery and sensual – so memorable that it stayed with me and was the very first lip product I knew I had to create when I launched VIOLETTE_FR. My vision for each shade is exact and my standards are very HIGH, so it takes at least one year to develop.”

The creamy formula glides on effortlessly with a weightless, comfortable feel for all-day wear without transferring or feathering.

Combining traditional goldsmithing techniques with advanced modern technology, Linneys has been creating fine jewellery from precious materials for over 50 years. Our award-winning jewellers experience, skill and expertise are tantamount to the high quality of Linneys jewellery.

If you are looking for a special piece that will be worn and passed down within your family, this is the first place to visit.
Last Christmas and for my birthday I asked for jewellery from UK brand Missoma, which all ended up being on sale at the time, so I ended up getting quite a few pieces and creating a little collection. Pictured above is my collection, I adore them all. The Lucy Williams x Missoma collection is my favourite, not surprising, as Lucy was always one of my favourite bloggers. The styles are all made with 18ct Gold Plated on Brass, the chunky earrings tend to be more on the heavy side so I save them to wear on occasions, rather than every day. If you know someone who goes out to events a lot, these are a beautiful gift idea, they will wear them for years.

This year I’ve been introduced to the jewellery brand AdornMonde, with very cool chunky chains, statement earrings and a chic minimal ring. The pieces I have are all 14 karat and rhodium plated on brass and so cool to elevate my outfits.
The Vintage Secret Letter Necklace RRP: $369.00

Olli Ella Holdie Animals RRP: $55.00
These beautiful handmade toy creatures come in a set of three and are made for fun. They’re the perfect size to fit into small hands or take along in your child’s pockets on adventures, with their own distinct styles and personalities. The three characters are made from a soft wool blend with sweet embroidered features, can stand on their own and come beautifully packed in a new collectable box. Sets come in all sorts of animal designs, so you can give one set or get a few and create a full animal kingdom collection. I gave Navy the dinosaur set last year and we are giving her some new ones this year.
Olli Ella Dinkum Dolls RRP: $94.99
Full of love and wonder, they’re the Dinkum Dolls by Olli Ella. Children can snuggle them, dress them, and style their hair. Dinkum Dolls are posable, with arms, legs and a head that moves – they can also sit and even stand when wearing their shoes! The Dinkum Dolls are made from the softest cotton outer, making them perfect for not only playing with but cuddling and going to sleep alongside. They feature the sweetest embroidered details, from their eyes and mouth to the little rainbow over their heart.
Each doll comes with a removable unisex outfit, socks, nappy, and shoes. You can also get a bunch of accessories and clothing options for the dolls to extend the playtime. I have to admit I have two more of these ready to give Navy for Christmas and her birthday, plus a ton of clothes and accessories! They are so sweet and she loves them so much.
Olli Ella Dozy Dinkum Doll RRP: $69.99
This little friend is just so adorable! Navy loves to kiss and try to wake him up, but he is always sleeping. These snoozy buddies come in a range of styles, animal styles and outfits. The Dozy Dinkum Dolls are are gently weighted for added calm and lightweight for little hands, perfect for endless play and cuddles from birth and beyond.
Trixie Plush Animal Toys RRP: $39.99 and Trixie Wooden Puzzle RRP: $19.99
I love Trixie with their cute animal designs for wooden games, and organic cotton soft plush toys. Navy also has a couple of their bags including a cute backpack for daycare.
The Trixie animal friends truly come to life in these cuddly organic cotton plush toys! They cannot wait to cuddle with your little one. Fun to play with by day, great to doze off with at night, and very comforting, all the time, anywhere. This unique range of characterful and colourful animals is made of especially durable materials. The plush animals are made of 100% organic cotton with a GOTS certificate. This means you can rest assured that the toys do not contain any harmful substances.
Tiny Trove Shorts RRP: $38.00 and Tiny Trove T-Shirt RRP: $55.00
This is the cutest little outfit and is perfect for the summer months. Tiny Trove is a Perth-based brand co-founded by two ladies I adore. Navy was so excited to wear this cute outfit! 100% terry towelling cotton pink & white striped relaxed fit shorts also come in blue, green and yellow. 100% Organic Cotton tee with print in a boxy & slightly oversized fit also available in flower, nature and wave designs. These are perfect for any gender made so well and are designed to be worn oversized initially for years of wear as your kid grows.
Tiny Trove Adult Kirra Cotton Shorts Set RRP: $159.00
And for the mamas, a cute matching Tiny Trove 100% cotton set. It features an exclusive embroidered design on the right pocket of the shirt, in a relaxed/oversized fit. Sold in a set (with bottoms), it also comes in lemon and lilac. This is the perfect summer’s day relaxed outfit to wear while you are playing with the kids.
Lion & Lamb the Label Sunglasses RRP: $39.99
These kid’s sustainable sunglasses available in 7 fun unisex shades. A great comfortable design to fit a wide range of ages. Each pair of sunglasses comes is CE Certified. UV 400 protection. I am excited to finally give Navy her own sunglasses. She loves trying ours on.
Done By Deer Wooden Peg Puzzle RRP: $24.95
Puzzles are a classic gift that will delight growing minds. This tactile wooden peg puzzle has four fun animal characters from the Done by Deer universe, that need help from little hands to be fitted into place. Navy loves these cute characters and playing with the puzzle, it’s a sense of achievement when she gets each piece in.
MEN’S GIFT IDEAS
I almost decided not to include a men’s gift category this year as I didn’t have as many items to shoot that I wanted to share. Usually, I round up things I’ve bought for Mario and anything that comes through as a suggestion from brands. However this year I didn’t think any of the suggested products were worthwhile so I declined.
This year Mario got his very fancy coffee machine so he hasn’t been gifted too many other things. Having said that though, I have rounded up key things that would make excellent gifts for the men in your life. Starting with some kitchen appliances and cooking things, as most of the men in my life seem to do the majority of the cooking.

One thing I have seen Mario use more lately has been his iPad Pro, which is such a handy device. Of course, AirPods never go astray (or they do, and you need to replace the missing ones!) and he has two Apple watches on the go and is due for an upgrade. One thing that we both use all the time and I love is the Theragun Mini. It is the best little massage device for anyone who works out or gets stiff and sore muscles just from sitting at a desk. Aka everyone, a Theragun is the best!!

Lululemon gifts are always a winner for an active gent the quality is unmatched. I often find myself ordering for our family from The Iconic, as they have so many brands we love. For men, I order Polo Ralph Lauren, R.M. Williams, Boss, Adidas, Veja, Dr. Martens and tons more.
And finally, I kind of stole Mario’s Kindle so I think I should either get my own or gift him a new one. If you have ever been curious about the Kindle, it is the best. I love reading and books but we honestly no longer have space to store books. A few coffee table books and some cookbooks are all good, but novels? Nah. Get a Kindle and save yourself tons of space. Give a Kindle? You are giving twice over, books and storage space.
