Top 10 Christmas Gift Ideas

Call me eager, but I already have my advent calendar (dutifully purchased by my Mum) tucked away and waiting to come out in just...9 days! That’s right, the countdown to the Count Down has begun! Sick of my annual present buying panic on around the 20th of December, I’ve decided that this will be the year that I become one of those smug shoppers, the ones with the gifts all purchased and wrapped before we even hit the double figure dates of December.  So, if like me, you’re in need of a little helping hand to get into the swing of things, then look no further than this little guide to my top 10 gifts from Ernest Jones.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: diamonds really are a girl’s best friend. They’re precious, they sparkle, they’re suited to everything and, well, they just make us happy, ok? This stunning 9ct white gold heart pendant is the perfect gift to make her smile and, if you’re looking for something with a bit of a difference, then the curve of treated black diamonds adorning the edge bring a contemporary edge to this classic piece.

For something with a slightly more affordable price tag, then these Tresor Paris pink crystal stud earrings are a must. Boasting Parisian inspired jewellery adorned with Czech crystal, we’ve been having a love affair with Tresor Paris for most of 2013, and aren’t about to stop anytime soon! Girly and sparkling and checking in at under £20, these fabulous earrings are perfect as a token gift for a family member.

In every group of friends and family there’s always the fussy one; the one you dread choosing a gift for in case they pull that face when they open it and make some kind of non-committal comment along the lines of, “Well that’s different”. If you can’t think of that person amongst your loved ones, then I’m afraid to say; it’s probably you. Well, whether you are the fussy recipient or the anxious buyer, we have a gift idea that’s guaranteed to go down well. Simple, chic and bang on trend in a luxurious rose gold plating, this Amanda Wakeley sparkle bracelet is a versatile gift that can be worn with any outfit, to any occasion, and is sure to please even the most acquired of tastes.

So what about the man in your life? Well, our trusty friend Hugo Boss has that covered with this stylish watch and fragrance set.  Featuring a bold yet smart black strap watch and the divine Hugo Boss Night fragrance for him, this Hugo Boss gift set will have him not only looking good, but smelling good too!
