1.The perfect handbag
The right handbag is a key part of any outfit and is always a welcome gift, and no accessory gift guide would be complete without the inclusion of a few stylish handbags.
There are however two key factors to take into account if you’re planning to offer a handbag as a gift and they are choosing the right material and the right style.
The choice of material will determine how the handbag survives wear and tear over time as well as the aesthetics of the bag, and a quality handbag will always ensure you look chic and elegant.
The right choice for your gift obviously depends on the person you are buying for, but one of the most classic and reliable materials is leather, and I would recommend this as a starting point. However, for a woman who is environmentally conscious then there are also many vegan bags available.
Again, style clearly depends on the person you’re buying for, but if she doesn’t already own a crossbody bag, then this would be a welcome addition to her closet , as not only do they enable her to be completely hands-free, and so are very practical, there is also an added advantage of security as it is much more difficult to take or grab.
2.Jewelry
Like handbags, jewelry is also a great gift idea and provides the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. Many companies now offer a complimentary engraving service so it is really easy to personalize your gift.
You can add extra meaning to your gift by adding initials, a nickname, a special date, a special place or you can sketch your own design to make your gift truly unique.
But, another way to offer a personalized gift is to give a gemstone, as each gemstone is associated with a special property. So, for example, Labradorite helps us to keep a clear and balanced mind, dispelling fear, anxiety and negativity, whereas Malachite represents transformation, protection and balance.
3.Scarves
Scarves are a great gift idea, combining both style and functionality in one garment. There is a wide variety of fabrics available including luxury fabrics such as cashmere, silk, alpaca, velvet, linen and lambswool and more affordable fabrics such as cotton, chiffon, viscose, acrylic, satin and more.
The range of colours, together with the choice of plains, patterns and prints makes for a great choice of styles, and you are sure to find something to please even the most difficult person on your list.
4.Hats
Like scarves, hats offer both a fashion statement and functionality. From keeping you warm to protecting you from the sun, there is a hat that meets every seasonal requirement.
A hat can also elevate the simplest of outfits and make a style statement – from beanies to baseball caps to wide-brimmed floppy hats and fedoras there is sure to be a hat that appeals.
5.Some smart carry on Luggage
A smart and stylish travel bag is the perfect gift for someone who travels frequently and is guaranteed to make his/her journey more enjoyable, and travel is so much easier when you don’t have to check your bag.
