Hi lovelies,Can you believe that Christmas is almost here?! It feels like it was just a few weeks ago and yet a whole year has passed since.
There's been a lot of talk about Kris Kringle/Bad Santa around my office, so I thought I'd share some Kris Kringle/Stocking Stuffer ideas to fit every budget and preference.
1) Aromatherapy Associates Precious Support Breathe Bath & Shower Bauble ($20) & Treasured Time Deep Relax and Revive Rollerball Set ($40).* These are also stocked at Sephora Australia and Adore Beauty.

These gift sets are packaged beautifully. The Precious Support Breathe Bath & Shower Bauble is both rejuvenating and relaxing, with its combination of Eucalyptus, Pine, Tea Tree and Peppermint essential oils. The Treasured Time Deep Relax and Revive Rollerball Set is pure indulgence. I love using the Deep Relax on my pulse points before bed, while the Revive is perfect for when I need a quick boost of energy (like when 3pm hits at work and I can feel my energy flagging).

2) Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick* in Wifey ($28) which I got from Black Swallow.
Love him or hate him, his liquid lipsticks are some of my favourites, and I have slowly amassed quite the collection. Let me know if you want to see swatches of every shade I have! I picked Wifey because it's a beautiful brick red, a bit less out there than some of his other shades, but perfect for the festive season. Furthermore, these lipsticks are super comfortable and wear so beautifully that you won't have to worry about touching up regularly. These lippies have such a cult reputation that they will be a welcome addition to any lipstick lover's stocking. Black Swallow have also just released the Holiday collection!

3) Daniel Wellington Classic Petite Ashfield ($239) and Classic Cuff (S)* in rose gold ($79) but available in a gift set for $286 at time of writing.
The Daniel Wellington watches are simply gorgeous and elegant timepieces that will never go out of fashion. You can select a personalised gift set comprising any watch and a cuff/strap for 10% off, and everything will be beautifully packaged in a curated gift box with free gift wrapping and free worldwide shipping. I have also been generously given a discount code to share with my readers; 'themadeupmaiden' entitles you to an additional 15% on top of all other promotions (not an affiliate code, just trying to save you money) until December 31st. These make an excellent gift idea for the fashion lover in your life.

4) WILDS classic candle in Magnolia ($30)*
The WILDS candles are beautiful, with a burn time of approximately 50 hours each. There's a variety of scents available and I've already got my eye on the Lychee & Coconut one as well as Oriental Woods. I love burning candles whenever I have guests over. With the festive season coming up, these make a welcome addition to any home as they create a lovely atmosphere.

5) Bobbi Brown Limited Edition Satin & Caviar Shadow and Long-Wear Gel Liner palette ($90)*
I live for the Bobbi Brown holiday collections every year. The holiday releases are always travel friendly and so classic, and a good way to try things from the collection. I've loved purchasing these as gifts as well because of how compact they are! This palette fits in the palm of your hand and contains three shadows (which can also double as brow powders in a pinch) and a mini pot of the best selling gel liner, with a dual ended shadow and liner brush included. This is perfect for the jet setter in your life who always likes to travel light while still looking their best.

6) 50000 mAh Power Bank Double USB charger ($40) from iphone-cases.com.au. *
This has been a godsend that's never left my work bag. My smartphone is always running out of juice, and I sometimes don't have time to charge it, so it's great that I can just connect it to my powerbank while I'm out and about. This one is sleek, stylish and most importantly functional...it has two USB hubs so I can connect multiple devices, a display to let me know how much charge is remaining, and even a built in torch light function for emergencies. It's the perfect gift for the person in your life who is always on the go, yet attached to their mobile devices.
