Stylish presents for daughter

[graziemille]

My daughter lives in London and I'm overseas so we don't see each other too often. So I'm completely out of touch about what to buy her for Christmas.
So suggestions please from you lovely ladies.
She's 30, married, no children, blonde, size 10, 5'8'', keeps fit, has her own company., well groomed.
Any ideas? Lusted after products? Great accessories? Gorgeous make up?
What's on your wish list?

[graziemille]

Just wanted to thank you all for your help. My DD’s gifts are ordered from your suggestions on here. I’ll let her know you all helped me!!!

Also, does your daughter travel for work? This hand luggage comes with a built-in USB charger. It's a lifesaver.

I am your daughter's red-haired twin! All your ideas sound lovely, but here are some more:

• Alice Bow insoles. Gorgeous Italian leather insoles for making high-heels much more comfortable . They come in aaaaaall the colours, and you can buy mixed packs. www.alicebow.com/collections/the-alice-bow-collection/products/personalised-leather-insoles

• Silk pillow cases (if she doesn't already use them.) The best possible thing to do for your skin, and this brand is the greatest IMO. They do lovely matching silk eye masks, as well. www.slipsilkpillowcase.com

I have 3 pairs of Turtle Doves cashmere wrist warmers - made in Britain and recycled. I love them, they're fab. But perhaps you'd rather a more traditionally luxe brand, I can understand that!

Someone upthread mentioned a wool blanket. I like Avoca blankets, from Ireland. I have a Circus one which is gorgeous.

In terms of stocking fillers, my OH got me Under Armour trainer socks last year, which were very well received.

Aveda/Kerastase/Nuxe stuff?
It's a bit boring/off-trend now, but I do like the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse (don't know if she likes musky smells, I originally wasn't at all keen on the smell but now think it's gorgeous - warm and a little spicy).

I was in Molton brown yesterday and they do some lovely limited edition Christmas body or hand wash. They also do baubles with shower gels in which might be fun for your table presents.

[graziemille]

Definitely getting cashmere wrist warmers.....seems most of you want some!....are the Brora ones the best to get? Or another shop?
Ordered the Chanel Le Creme Main pebble.
Daunt book subscription up next.
I'm loving all your ideas and having a wonderful time selecting your choices.
for you all for your kindness.
Keep them coming please!

I'd be wary of buying perfume for someone else - two posters have suggested Chanel Coco Noir and Chance and I loathe both of those (I'm your daughter's age too) so it'd be an expensive waste of money. I like the idea of the perfume sample subscription though, I would love that! Agree with the posters suggesting books, Daunt Books do a book subscription where they send one book a month. I don't rate Charlotte Tilbury but I love Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier for beautiful eyeshadows. I'd love a really high end red lipstick, Chanel or Tom Ford, which I wouldn't buy myself. Also cashmere wrist warmers sound lovely and I do lots of sport and would love good sports clothes too. I'd like a beautiful wool blanket, posh scented candle, frivolous makeup item, books, cosy but washable socks (Mum gave me cashmere socks once from the White Company and they had to be hand washed so they mostly sat in the washing basket and I gave up wearing them), a one-off beauty box or a couple of months subscription, pretty notebook/diary, vinyl (if she has a record player), posh bottle of gin.

I'm the same age, also into fitness. I got some Lucas Hugh leggings from The Outnet (gym leggings that is!). I'd been lusting after them in Selfridges but found a cracking deal on them on The Outnet (Net-a-Porters offspring outlet store) they are very luxurious and fabulous quality.

Lovely editions of some of her favourite classic novels - you can get such beautiful books nowadays, and all homes should have space for beautiful books!

A leather notebook and a lovely fountain pen

Happy shopping!

[graziemille]

I'm the lucky one.

[intelligentPutty]

Your daughter is a lucky lady.
I wish I had a mum like u.

I second Aesop, lovely stuff. Also agree with cashmere wrist warmers. What about Celtic and co slippers? I have the slipper boots and they're fantastic.

Silk pillowcase?

[36plusandtrying]

How about some travel Chanel perfume ? Ideal for your handbag or some Lululemon gym gear !

[Laquila]

Sally Hughes has just written about the Charlotte Tilbury highlighter, which she says is brilliant (£25 I think).

What about books? I always love getting a couple from my mum - we have similar taste and she tends to know what I've read already.

How about skipping table gifts and having extra-posh crackers? www.stylist.co.uk/christmas/best-luxury-adult-unusual-christmas-crackers-2017-beauty-chocolate-gin-stationery-shopping-buy-online#gallery-4

[CantChoose]

I’m the same age as your daughter and sounds like we would like similar things.

Agree completely about CharlotteT, it’s decent quality but nowhere near as good as the hype / cost. Tom Ford is great in my experience.

You could get a key ring from an upmarket brand within your budget. My mum bought me one; I’d never have bothered spending a lot on a key ring myself but have it on my car keys and it makes me smile and think of her whenever I drive anywhere. Aspinal do a london icons collection which she might like as a Londoner but most of the ‘big brands’ do them.
Mum also always asked what perfume I’m using at the moment and if it’s one with a body care range will get me something from that.

Will be following this thread for inspiration for my Christmas list!!

[graziemille]

Lots of lovely ideas,
Keep them coming please.
I'm going online shopping today and getting things delivered to my SIL in readiness.
I'll let you know what I get.
Also looking for a few smaller items to do as table gifts on Christmas Day for the ladies....around £10/20 ish each.
You girls are great. Thank you so much.

[RonaldMcDonald]

Gifts I have loved
Space NK nail scissors and tweezers. A ridiculous fortune but now years later still marvellous
A good eyeshadow brush and short blush brush also Space NK
Cashmere beanie and wristlets
Charbonnel & Walker truffles ..any type
Macaroons
Aesop bathroom stuff
A Mulberry dog keyring/bag fob
Homemade sloe gin with a hip flask to drink it from.

[BluebellGal]

Personally I don’t rate Charlotte Tilbury- overpriced and other make up brands much better (eg UD). Emperors new clothes based on Celebrity hype. A lot of mumsnetters on a recent thread said the same thing

[BeaLola]

Agree with all above. How about the new Chanel Handcream shaped like a pebble.
