There’s something so exciting about the lead-up to the Christmas season. It’s when the best present ideas start to strike and Christmas wishlists are made. Not to mention, it’s when all the best of the best advent calendars are released.
But if you’re looking to get ahead of the last-minute Christmas gifting shop (also known as the Christmas Eve chaos shop), then have a look through these 5 gift ideas. From fashion and beauty to unique experiences, there’s truly something for everyone. And hey, it doesn’t hurt to keep your eyes peeled for something you might also like.
Brown Brothers
The Christmas season brings a lot of parties, picnics and entertaining, all of which need a bottle of bubbles. But traditional glass bottles can be heavy. Thankfully, Brown Brothers have announced their limited-edition aluminium prosecco bottles, a true game-changer for the festive season.
This sustainably stylish refresh reimagines sparkling wine packaging. With a lightweight and stylish design that’s endlessly recyclable, this Brown Brothers release is the perfect sustainable, no-fuss solution for the silly season. The innovative aluminium design is 40 per cent lighter than glass meaning it’ll chill faster too.
Inside the environmentally conscious packaging, you’ll find the fresh, crisp King Valley Prosecco you know and love. The light, refreshing citrus notes are made for summer sipping and spontaneous toasts.
Who wouldn’t want to be gifted a bottle of sleek, sustainable and stylish Prosecco? It’s as good for the vibes as it is for the planet.
Retreat Yourself
If you were to ask any beauty-lover what their ultimate Christmas present would be, a self-care-centred box full of seasonal and locally sourced wellness products and experiences would surely be at the top of the list.
So, give the gift of slowing down, resetting and recharging this Christmas with the Retreat Yourself summer ‘Pamper and Relax’ box. Each $115 box (or $89 if you subscribe) contains $300 worth of full-sized products (and activities) from Australian and New Zealand-owned brands.
As your chosen recipient unboxes their present, they’ll be prompted to play one of the curated playlists, transforming the experience into a fully immersive self-care moment. The calming playlists have been designed to set the mood as they work through their 20-page booklet filled with self-care activities designed to relax and rejuvenate.
Give them not only a wonderfully thoughtful gift, but also the tools they need to be able to carve out time amidst the busyness of life. The rejuvenating rituals and simplistic self-care moments will be enjoyed well beyond Christmas Day. Plus, enjoy a 20 per cent off discount with code: MARIECLAIRE20.
Black Caviar
If chic and versatile are two key factors when shopping for your loved ones, then the bags and wallets from Black Caviar Designs are just what you need. With a commitment to functionality and adaptability, each piece has been designed with multiple compartments that can be adjusted and interchanged to suit any occasion.
Black Caviar Designs exemplifies the duality of Australian life. From relaxed morning walks to the finishing touches of a chic office outfit, the range offers versatility and unparalleled organisational features.
The affordable Australian brand offers timeless, trending designs without the luxury price tag. Each piece is carefully designed from premium vegan leather to ensure sustainability and affordability. The next must-have piece is just a click away.
TNS Hair
Party season calls for perfected hair. But who has the time (or the funds) to book into the salon for a blowout before every event? If salon visits are out of the question and relying on traditional curling wands leaves you worrying about getting burnt, then let us introduce you to the latest in effortless hair tools.
The award-winning TNS Hair Automatic Curler has been designed to deliver effortless curls in just minutes using a beginner-friendly automatic curling chamber. The best part (aside from the long-lasting results) is that thanks to the adjustable heat and directional settings, you can control what kind of curl, from soft waves to glam curls the possibilities are endless. Of course, we can’t forget the enclosed chamber keeping the hot barrel away from your skin, so you can’t burn your fingers or forehead.
With Christmas fast approaching, you’ll have to stock up, because if you’re adding one to your cart for a friend, you might need to treat yourself to one too. And with two years warranty, a stunning trending maroon colourway and a limited time offer of 15 per cent off plus a free flexi detangle brush (using code: MCXMAS), why wouldn’t you get both? All that’s left to do is to decide, beachy waves or glam curls?
Sunreef
Picture sparkling blue water, salt in the warm air as you drift off the coast of Mooloolaba. With a Sunreef excursion, you’re bound to experience the natural wonder of the ocean uniquely.
Experiential gifts are the perfect way to create memories with your loved ones (because surely, you’re tagging along too), and a Sunreef adventure is no different. Operating out of Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, they offer unforgettable experiences, such as scuba diving the world-famous ex-HMAS Brisbane wreck and Flinders reef, snorkelling alongside turtles and beautiful reefs and even taking part in an adrenaline-rushing jet ski adventure, all within just 15 minutes of the bustling Mooloolaba wharf.
But what they’re truly known for is the world-first swim with humpback whales experience. Running from June to October (when the whales pass through), the bucket-list experience is one not to be missed, especially as it’s carried out with whale welfare in mind.
As the Sunshine Coast’s leading centre for ocean experiences, education and equipment, Sunreef is a not-to-be-missed experience. So, what are you waiting for? Make a trip out of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this Christmas and earn your status as best gift-giver.
