Christmas Gift Ideas

Finding the right gift for the right person can be fraught in the lead up to Christmas, so I thought I'd share some of the gifts I'm giving (and a few I hope to receive) this year. I love beautiful pajamas like this pair from J Crew (USD$108). They're gorgeous but they're silk, so not altogether practical with toddlers and Weetbix. That's why I often buy my PJ's from Sussan. Like this stripey nightie (under $30).
Crystal or glass bowls are a great gift, I keep them on my bedside table to store my earrings. And you can pick them up for around $10 from any antique or second hand store.
In Brisbane, I always find gorgeous bowls at the Woolloongabba Antique Centre.

As a choc-o-holic, chocolates from Haighs are a traditional part of our Christmas.

Jo Malone package their products so beautifully, I often give them as a gift. And now they've got a new scent, Pine and Eucalyptus. Perfect for an Australian summer.

This coin purse from Kate Spade is very festive (USD$75). But it might be too hard to part with. What are you giving to your friends and family (or to yourself) this Christmas?
