Mini guide: 5 Christmas gifts for romantics

Time is running so here’s the new mini guide: “5 Christmas gifts for romantics”.
These little presents will be the joy of your female friends, especially those who have delicate tastes in everything.
I’ve chosen them with a typology in mind: a solar soul with great enthusiasm for life, a girl who wears comfortably but always with a light, elegant touch.

If you know someone who fits this description, no panic: all these ideas can be found in regular boutiques.



I think Christmas gifts should be cute but useful, in this way they have a sense and low chances to be forgotten in drawers!
A piece of clothing is always welcome, if it’s versatile and matches people’s style: a wooly scarf (1) or a soft cardigan with pockets (2), all in neutral tones, are great choices, because they can be easily layered and styled thanks to their colours, while clothes with pockets are perfect when you don’t know where to put your hands in!
Jewelry for these delicate people is minimal but with a sweet accent like this Zara double ring with faux pearls (3), while make-up has pink and nude shades like this Pupa Lips and Nails kit #04 (4).
Signature scents or perfume kits make a great scene under the tree, but choosing them can be very risky. If you’re looking for a gentle, feminine but young scent, I suggest you to sniff Flower in the Air eau de parfum by Kenzo (5). It has notes of rose, magnolia, gardenia and musks, despite being an eau de parfum and having a flowery mix, this perfume isn’t strong at all.
Now let’s check the gifts list!
