Christmas gifts for her – 12 ideas: earrings, a crossbody bag, a watch and more

Who these gifts are for

A partner, a mother, a best friend or anyone you want to give one proper present rather than several small ones. The list mixes pieces she will wear every day, such as gloves, a scarf or a card case, with a few that feel more special, such as sparkly earrings or a small evening bag.

How to choose

Think about where she will use it. For someone who is always out and about, the touchscreen gloves, the card cases or the crossbody bag are the most useful choices; the bag is small enough for an evening and big enough for a phone and keys. If she likes jewellery, the round sparkle earrings and the silver drops are made for Christmas parties, while the small silver studs work every day. The gold digital watch has a retro feel and suits almost any wrist. For someone who loves comfort, the mule slippers, the hand cream or the soft pashmina scarf are a safe and warm option.

Combining gifts

Two pieces from the list together make a complete present: earrings with the crossbody bag for the party season, the pashmina scarf with the touchscreen gloves for winter walks, or the wash bag with the hand cream for someone who travels.

Sizes and wrapping

Only the gloves and the slippers need a size. For gloves, a medium usually fits most women; for slippers, go by her shoe size. Jewellery and watches look best in their own box, so keep the original packaging. Where the store offers a gift receipt, include it in case she would prefer a different colour.
