Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide For Her + Yves Rocher Giveaway!

Have you caught the festive bug? I sure have: I've already watched 12 Christmas movies since November (yes I'm counting) and have been listening to a ridiculous amount of Christmas music too - I blame you, Spotify. And with it being December comes the realization that there are only a few weeks left leading up to the Big Day, meaning your stress levels are getting higher as you try to find something to gift your loved ones. Are you still scratching your head as to what to gift the special ladies in your life? Well you've come to the right place - I have partnered with Yves Rocher this Holiday season to bring you a Gift Guide for Her! I know how much of a struggle it can be to think of something new to gift each year, and I hope these ideas give you some inspiration. I also have a pretty awesome giveaway that you don't want to miss, so keep reading until the end for all the details!

This year, Yves Rocher has come out with the prettiest limited edition Christmas Collection* in two festive scents inspired by nature: White Vanilla and Marvelous Berries. White vanilla smells light and airy, while Marvelous Berries provides a stronger, fruity punch. Both smell incredible, but I am partial to berry scents and thus the latter is my personal favourite. Some of the products in this collection have more than 97% of their ingredients from natural origin, they are made with biodegradable formulas and are free of parabens and mineral oil. I am in love with the product packaging too - the wintery designs are just so darn cute!

The White Vanilla Bath & Body Christmas Collection includes:

❄ Bath & Shower Gel ($8, 400 mL) - a botanical body cleanser made with vanilla and organically-grown cornflower extracts
❄ Body Lotion ($6, 200 mL) - a quick-absorbing body moisturizer containing organic shea butter, cornflower water, sweet almond oil and vanilla extract
❄ Silky Body Balm ($16, 150 mL) - a rich and luxurious cream made with shea butter and cornflower water
❄ Liquid Hand Soap ($5, 190 mL) - a gentle and creamy formula housed in a convenient pump dispenser
❄ Hand Cream ($4, 75 mL) - indulge in this sweet scent made with a blend of oil extracts
❄ Nourishing Lip Balm ($4, 4.8 g) - moisturize your lips with castor seed oil, shea butter and sweet almond oil

The Marvelous Berries Bath & Body Christmas Collection includes:

❄ Bath & Shower Gel ($8, 400 mL) - a botanical body cleanser made with cranberry and organically-grown cornflower extracts
❄ Body Lotion ($6, 200 mL) - a quick-absorbing body moisturizer containing organic shea butter, cornflower water, sweet almond oil and cranberry extract
❄ Sugar Body Scrub ($16, 150 mL) - exfoliate your skin with this sugary blend of rapeseed oil, shea butter and castor seed oil
❄ Liquid Hand Soap ($5, 190 mL) - a fresh and fruity gel formula that comes in a convenient pump dispenser
❄ Hand Cream ($4, 75 mL) - soften your hands with rich shea butter and macadamia oil
❄ Nourishing Lip Balm ($4, 4.8 g) - get soft lips with a delightful blend of castor seed oil, shea butter and sweet almond oil

Moving on to fashion, you can't go wrong gifting some trendy accessories!

For statement jewelry, you can opt for a watch, such as this Glasgow Mesh Strap Style by Daniel Wellington or a bold oversized flower ring (similar). If your giftee prefers dainty pieces, a long pendant tassel necklace (similar) or cuff bracelet for stacking are always nice too!

Another idea is to get her a cute cross-body bag or clutch (similar) or even a new wallet - I love this Duma Chili style from Matt & Nat!

Sunglasses come in handy year-round, and you can get really cool pairs that won't break the bank! I recommend these matte black blue mirror lenses sunnies (similar), or you can splurge and get her a designer pair, such as this one from Sunglass Hut.

A blanket scarf (similar) is also a no-brainer - it can be used to bundle up and keep warm, and can double as a travel blanket, too!

Moving on to the home decor and hostess gifts category, there a plethora of things to choose from - here are some of my top picks:

A barware set (similar) is perfect for the entertainer or someone who likes to experiment with making their own mixed drinks!

You can also go for a decorative blanket or throw - I love this mint striped pattern one with fringe (similar)!

An aroma diffuser is also something I feel most women do not own, but secretly want! I cannot recommend the Escents Grace Ceramic Diffuser enough, it's so pretty to look at and doubles as a night lamp too.

Yves Rocher also released holiday candles ($9 each, 70 g), a White Vanilla scented one and a Marvelous Berries scented one. If you purchase one along with a few body products from their collection, you can put a nice pamper gift basket together that will put a smile on her face!

The last category I want to touch on is experiences - I know a few ladies who aren't so much into receiving 'things' and would much prefer something outside of the box!

Whether you sign her up for a fun fitness class (such as zumba, yoga or dance lessons), get her a gift certificate for a facial or a massage or even plan a retreat or a weekend getaway for her, she will be so grateful for your thoughtful gift!
