Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x

Editor's Note:

I wonder how many Christmas trees the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x will be under this year? Surely it's going to be one of the most requested gifts, and why wouldn't it be?! And have you seen the new colour-way for Christmas? The Jasper Plum shade is just stunning.

I think it makes a great gift because it's fun to play with, and the box is full of so many treats for you to experiment with.

Editor's Note:

In case you hadn't heard, Hotel Chocolat has revamped the iconic Velvetiser and this is the ultimate gift. Not only is it a little more chic, it creates hot and cold barista-grade drinking chocolate at the touch of a button. Experience velvet-smooth results, unrivalled chocolate crema and satisfying cacao depth in every sip I use this all year round and I'm stunned every time I use it because yes, the hot chocolate really is that delicious. I can recommend the Salted Caramel flavour! It's a great gift for someone like your mother-in-law - someone you want to keep sweet.

I predict this will be on a lot of wish lists in for Christmas this year! Shark Beauty entered the LED Face Mask chat back in 2024 and it's the UK’s first LED light therapy mask to offer under-eye cooling technology. Genius or what?! 

Developed with dermatologists, the under-eye cooling helps soothe, depuff and tighten under-eyes and the LED routines help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Editor Verdict: What are the best gifts for women? 

This was a fun edit to create and I asked lots of colleagues, friends and family members for their input. I wanted this to be a really easy list to go through to inspire. I love everything on this list, but I think the NEW Velvetiser will be super popular in 2025. You can't go wrong with PJs, a dressing gown or slippers - I predict the UGG Tas slippers will still reign supreme.  I  also predict the Shark LED Face Mask will be a runaway hit for Christmas this year as well.

Top tips for buying a woman a gift - according to a personal shopper

  • Personalisation: "Something personalised is a great way to show you’ve actually put some thought into the gift. Etsy is brilliant for this as and you’ll be supporting smaller businesses with items not as accessible on the high street. However if easier, Marks & Spencer, Emma Bridgewater, Sezane to name but a few also do a range of personalised gifts."
  • Experiences: "Think of experiences that they would enjoy but never make time to do; a spa day, afternoon tea, zoo keeper experience if they like animals and being outdoors. There are plenty of options on Virgin and Buy a Gift. Or even a subscription to receive something monthly; flowers, a beauty box, magazine."
  • Interests: "Consider any hobbies that you could use to generate a gift; gardening, sports, cooking. Is there a book, tool or piece of clothing that they are missing or has worn out and they haven’t got round to replacing yet?"
  • If all else fails: "No matter what anyone says, you can’t go wrong with flowers. Even if you take a supermarket bouquet and re-wrap in some brown paper with rustic ribbons to make it look a touch more special. Don’t forget David Austin do an amazing array of roses – there could be one with their name on it!"
  • Don’t forget to consider your budget! "Sales Assistants are a great tool for gift ideas but don’t be led by them once you’re in store. If you get carried away you could walk out with her birthday, Christmas and Valentine's gift all wrapped up in one. And just for the record, no one likes a joint occasion gift."
