I’ve spent evenings colouring cow print paper for paper chains and making cowboy hats from icing, gluing my fingers together making his highchair banner and designing a photo board for my sign making husband to print. My mum is also a whizz on a cricut turning Marlow into a cowboy for our cake toppers. And I got to take a trip to @hobbycrafthq!

Home from a week at @havenofficial Devon Cliffs. O Home from a week at @havenofficial Devon Cliffs. Our little climber loved this mini arial adventure, the white sandy beach, soft play and swimming pool. The evening entertainment didn’t really work for us, with Winnie dropping her nap recently and Marlow being only 5 months - but the dads did go to bingo which apparently was the highlight on their trip 😂

Such a proud moment watching Winnie’s confidence grow as she completed laps around this course whilst saying to herself “I can do this”.

Cape Town has been voted the top long-haul destina Cape Town has been voted the top long-haul destination, and just an overnight flight away it was the best choice for us with a little one. Desperate to go back, but we now have a 3 year old sass pot and a 5 month old and as much as I’d love to be one of those families who makes travelling with multiple small kids look a breeze… I know we aren’t one of them 🤣 

When Marlow is a little older and the two littles don’t have such different needs, we definitely need a holiday - or as my husband calls it, parenting in a different country for a week!

Christmas Gift Ideas For Her

Christmas is my favourite time of year. Spending quality time with family and friends, arguing over buying a tin of Roses or Heroes, drinking copious amounts of Baileys, never being more than an arms reach away from a festive snack, the smell of having a tree IN the house (which still blows my mind). But most importantly, I love planning, making or buying the perfect gift for each of my loved ones. Carefully chosen to light up their face with a smile on Christmas morning. Sometimes we all need a little inspiration, so here are 10 of my favourite Christmas Gift Ideas for her this year.

*Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links and I receive a commission if you visit a link and buy something on my recommendation. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra. All opinions are my own. For more details see my disclosure policy and privacy policy.*

Personalised leather Journal

If there are two things we girls love, it’s organisation and personal touches! So what better gift than a beautiful journal personalised just for her? These journals from Pen Heaven are Italian works of art, beautifully made, simple and incredibly good value. You can even have personalisation added in gold, silver or without colour.

Buy at Pen Heaven from £14.99 (+ £5 for embossing)

ELEMIS goodies

ELEMIS is a real treat, which is why it makes an extra special gift for a lucky someone who deserves some pampering. These products are full of the best quality ingredients (a little pricey, but the difference is immediately noticeable), with various products for all skin types and needs. A favourite item of mine which would make a very special Christmas gift is the ELEMIS Travel Treasures for Her Gift Set featuring six gorgeous products in a stylish travel bag.

Buy at ELEMIS from £60 (worth £98!)

Montezuma’s treats

Made from a local Chichester-based factory, Montezuma’s chocolate has become a national favourite. With a selection of unusual flavours, gift hampers and even dairy free treats, there is something for everyone.

Buy at Montezuma’s where there is something for all budgets.

Birchbox subscription

Birchbox is the gift that keeps on giving! Choose from a 3, 6 or 12 month gift subscription and your recipient will get a knock on the door each month to receive a box of incredible beauty products.

Buy at Birchbox from £38.85

PJs for cosy winter nights

There is no better feeling than putting on brand new clean pyjamas, and climbing into fresh crisp bed sheets. I love winter purely because I get to wear super cosy onesies, PJs and slippers. New pyjamas feel like a real luxurious treat. There are a range of brands with gorgeous sets at the moment, but a favourite of mine with a huge variety of different designs is Boux Avenue. Their pyjamas are super soft, top quality and reasonably priced.

Buy at Boux Avenue from around £25

Christmas gift ideas for her. Pink journal, gold pen.

Water tracking bottle

Gifting a water bottle is like giving the gift of hydration, good skin and a functioning mind! This Joseph Joseph bottle not only has a handy straw (which definitely makes me drink more water) but it also has a simple yet clever device on the lid which tracks how many times you have filled it that day.

Buy at John Lewis from £15

Smart essential oils diffuser

Electric diffusers fill the air with the beautiful scent of your favourite essentials oils. This smart diffuser can connect with Amazon Echo devices for voice control with Alexa. Cheaper diffusers are also available widely.

Buy at Amazon from £29.99.

Book

Whether a novel, self-help book, biography or even cook book, there is something to suit everyones interests – it’s hard to go wrong with a good book! See the Sistabliss Tribe Bookshelf for recommended women’s wellbeing books.

Current Best Selling Books on Amazon from just a few pounds (or visit your local book store).

House plant

Plants bring life and colour to a home, and can be combined with a decorative pot to make the perfect gift. Read: House Plants for the Soul to help you choose the perfect plant for your loved one. A favourite plant of mine to give as a gift is a Peace Lily for its air purifying qualities and pretty white flowers.

Buy at Hortology from £8.99 (or your local garden centre).

Framed print

Desenio has thousands of prints to choose from to suit all colour schemes and styles! They have a vast range of designs from artistic and nature inspired prints to typography and photography. Also check out the Sistabliss Tribe inspiration prints on Etsy!

Buy at Desenio from £3.95

I hope these ideas have inspired you this Christmas! Don’t forget to follow Sistabliss Tribe on Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.
