Christmas gifts ideas for women and Black Friday sales

Christmas gift ideas for women

I find that the women in my life are probably the easiest to buy presents for. The only problem is that I am often tempted to buy something similar for myself. This is not good for keeping my budget in check.

Oh well, sometimes we just need to treat ourselves! After all, we are the ones that do most of the work over the holiday period. We compile all the lists for the party food and the presents and do most of the shopping.

Maybe we could indulge in some Look Fabulous Forever make-up. Let’s sparkle over the party season. Get 20% off when you buy 3 products plus free delivery. Ends 25th November. How about trying their new skincare range.

Details of above:

Top row: Look Fabulous Forever make up a starter kit. Price reduction. (I use all of these products and can highly recommend them). // Gizelle Renee pink gloves. (I attended the opening of their new shops in Princes Arcade Picadilly recently. Their gloves are totally luxurious and I love to support small brands created by women entrepreneurs) // Deep pink scarf Hobbs.

Middle row: Pinus swiss pine wood diffuser (I have one on my bedside table and it really helps me go to sleep) // Pink eyemask (I always travel with a silky eyemask. This one also has cooling eye gel pads) // Ren beauty collection.

Bottom row: Diptyque surprise pocket, Nordstrom & John Lewis & partners // Leopard print gloves Hobbs (a touch of leopard is always on trend) // Mac lipstick set Nordstrom (my favourite lipsticks)

Chicatanyage

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
