The Fab Gift Guide - Presents for Girls, Going back to Black.

Whether you are looking for some great gifts for mums, sisters, aunts or girlfriends or are in dire need of pointing a useless present buying husband or boyfriend in the direction of this blog post, there is no getting away from the appeal of the colour black when it comes to present giving or receiving.

Black accessories go with every outfit, high heels take on a sexy edge (especially those with a red sole), lingerie makes a sultry statement and gifts with black packaging not only look slick but also expensive even when on the smallest of budgets and with my gift selection starting at just £20, whats not to love?

Take a look at my "back to black" gift selection and make someone happy with a beautiful gift this Christmas.


Tom Ford Black Orchid Gift Set £65. Agent Provocateur Soap on a Rope £20. Onyx Teardrop Earrings from Boticca.com £61 The White Company Noir Candle £30. French Connection Polka Stud Gloves £35. Anya Hindmarch Lotions and Potions Wash Bag £135. Nixon Leather and Acetate Watch £100. Pure Collection Cashmere Infinity Scarf £79.


Anya Hindmarch Glitter Clutch £275. Stella McCartney Chemise £182. Christian Louboutin Sandals £635. Aspinal Italian Extra Large Journal £60. Alexander McQueen Skull Pashmina £245. Marc Jacobs Daisy Anniversary Perfume £50. Yves Saint Laurent Skinny Belt £180. Chanel Vintage Bag £2070. John Lewis Faux Fur Hat £60.

If you could choose just one black gift from the list, what would it be?

Look out for more "Fab Gift Guides" in the lead up to the festive season and if there is a colour, budget  or gender specific present buying dilemma you are facing, that you would like featured in a future blog post, don't be afraid to email and ask for help!

  1. Oooh, the journal please! I need to practice writing as my handwriting has grown worse than my 6 yr old's due to no longer writing real letters and reports like I used to.

  2. Oooh! so difficult to choose just one. I guess I would choose the Glitter clutch, being a girl with a passion for sparkles ;-)
