The Gift Guide For Him

Buying gifts for guys that they will love doesn’t have to be tough. In fact, more and more these days, buying gifts for guys has become easier, because the males are just as spoilt for choice when it comes to all the great things out there. For this gift guide, I had my hubby help me out a bit, because he’s one of those guy’s that’s really (and I do mean really) difficult to buy for. He’s the type, who when he wants something, before I even get a chance to consider it as a good gift option, he’s already bought it for himself. So what do you get him that he wants and needs, but possibly doesn’t have – or doesn’t think he wants? Well that’s what I’m about to share with you…

The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide

Dad is not an easy guy to buy for and with Father’s Day around the corner, I teamed up with Duesouth to bring you the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide. They have a lineup that will suit any guy (and I know my hubby LOVES shopping there), so to help you make some smart Father’s Day choices (aside from boring old socks), I’ve picked out my faves to bring you the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide! I have found great gifts under R1000, under R500, even under R250 and I roped the hubs into styling a little look book around these picks! I’ve also got an exclusive reader offer, giving you another reason to shop, so keep on reading…

The Ultimate Gift Guide For Him

I’m sure the guys will agree with me in saying that, today there are so many awesome options when it comes to buying him gifts! No longer do the poor men in our lives need to suffer with undies and socks (although there are really cool socks out there these days). If you want to get him something he will love for Christmas, then this guide is just the one you’ve been looking for. I’ve tried to include the guys-guy, the adventure junkie, the sports fanatic, the tech lover, the guy who loves smelling good, even a little something for the guy who likes to make his own beer! If you’re looking for something under R200, then be sure to check out this gift guide. For today though, I thought I’d focus on gifts that are a little more expensive, yet not overly so…

The Ultimate Gift Guide For The Woman Who Seems To Have It All

I don’t know about you girls, but the older I get the less I want! Is that weird? It’s not that I dont want “stuff”, I do, I just don’t want random stuff that serves no purpose in my life, know what I mean? The funny thing is, more and more women I speak to have said the same thing. They want cool shiz that makes their smiles grow and hearts flutter. So instead of doing OTT Christmas wish lists, I thought I’d put together some small, but inexpensive gift ideas that you can hint-hint for your list to Santa, or if you’re looking to buy a fabulous friend something she’ll actually love this Christmas. And, don’t worry, I’ve covered various price brackets too, starting from R60! Here goes… my Ultimate Gift Guide for the woman who seems to have it all … Beauty Blender & Bling Ring (R600) – This is the ideal gift for the girl who loves makeup and pretty things on her vanity. Two birds, one stone. Stockists, call 0861 11 22 22 Le Creuset Mini Mills (R360, on sale at Le Creuset for R288 ) – If she isn’t already craving some Le Creuset in her life, you’ll be buying her…

10 Last Minute Stocking Stuffers for Him & Her

Stocking stuffers are always my favourite Christmas gifts. They are so much fun to open on Christmas morning and you never know what you’ll find inside. They can be filled with fun makeup, cute socks, miniature fragrances, candy or something really fun! Here are some ideas on what you can stuff into your Christmas stockings for both big and small budgets… For the manly cook, get him his own pair of oven mitts. Love this King of the Grill glove from MRP Home. Buying fragrances for someone else is never easy, and giving them a gift voucher is just blah! That’s why I love Red Square’s VIVABOX fragrance gift set for him or her. They come in a pretty box (already wrapped up), each containing 7 fragrance samples plus a voucher to redeem a full size version of your favourite scent. So you can try one new scent every day and then pick your favourite one from the lot. Options, options, I do love options! These little Pie Birds from Le Creuset come in a range of fun colours and make cute stocking stuffers. Give the gift of pure sound pleasure with these Beats Solo2 Headphones available from the iStore Every girl loves being a princess, and will love this Princess mug with shortbread…
