My pick of Must-have Christmas gifts this week focuses on presents which fall under a £50 price tag. Whilst this array of gifts may be a touch more expensive than the under £20 picks I posted last week, I've tried to choose a selection of things which will last and which I think make for really special presents:
Whilst this lovely little lot might appear more than a little make-up heavy, Christmas always feels like the perfect occasion to invest in some appropriately festive cosmetics! This gift set from Nails Inc. consists of three beautifully glittering shades, and at £25 is pretty good value considering that their individual varnishes retail at £11 each. The Chanel eyeshadow has become a really coveted product, and I think this shimmering white shade is gorgeous- the perfect luxury treat for a make-up obsessive or someone who needs spoiling this Christmas. This set of eyeshadows from MAC is another really great value item as the six shades which are included are really versatile- it's also perfect for throwing in your handbag for emergency en-route make-up application, so I think it would really suit someone who's always in a rush. After spending the last six weeks entranced by Frozen Planet, I can think of nothing better than re-living the series again, and this book and DVD gift set (which is exclusive to Amazon) is amazing value- surely the perfect present for the infamous 'difficult to buy for' relative. This adorable set of cake tins from Cath Kidston are a fantastically practical present, and are ideal for someone who wants to develop their skills in the kitchen in 2012. Alternatively, this collection of Luxe City Guides is a great gift for someone resolving to broaden their horizons next year, encompassing top tips on a range of global cities including New York, Paris, Dubai and Sydney. I'm tempted to buy it for myself and work through a book per year! This stunning wall art from Urban Outfitters would make a really unusual present, and again is something which would last for ages. Finally, these Marc by Marc Jacobs earrings are amazing value at only £30- perfect for any fashion conscious friend.
Would you pick up any of these presents? And are you looking forward to Christmas?

07.12.2010- Stars in our eyes
It's rapidly approaching that time of the year where everyone starts muttering those two words that strike fear into the hearts of many of us: PARTY SEASON. Walk down any high street at the moment and you'll be confronted with a cornucopia of sequinned frocks which just scream 'Christmas party'. But, as we all know, a beautiful dress should be for life, not just for Christmas, so why not invest in something classic, and instead take your festive inspiration from this beautiful shoot from the December issue of UK Vogue, as photographed by Lachlan Bailey and starring Frida Gustavsson:
So beautiful! And, whilst we're on the subject of make-up, I bought this Apply, Define and Line brush set from MAC's holiday collection as a birthday treat to myself at the weekend, and I can't recommend it highly enough. The brushes are perfect for experimenting with some starry-eyed looks, à la Frida, and are excellent quality so will last a lifetime. Definitely worth seeking out at your nearest MAC counter.
Also tomorrow I'm off for fashionista tea at The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge with my bestie. I'm so excited and will of course be taking lots of photos!
What do you think of this shoot? Has it inspired you? And are you looking forward to the party season?
