Everyone has their favourite holiday season and mine is Christmas! Growing up in an Asian Canadian family, we never really celebrated this holiday. Perhaps that’s why I am so fascinated with it. The idea of picking out the perfect gift for your loved ones and spending the days with your closest friends and family is perfection to the tee. Here is Christmas presents for your girlfriend and I hope it helps you out!
These gifts are solely based on what I know I’d want. If your girlfriend is anything like me then this should be your go-to list. I am an avid traveller that loves pretty girly things and I have always been willing to pay for a bit of extra comfort!
Gift ideas for your girlfriend:
- Fitness watch (Samsung Fit2): As I get older, I try harder to be more active. I work from home which means more often than not, I forget to get up and move about. My fitness watch reminds me every 50mins I need to get up and move. It counts my steps, records my sleep and heartbeat. I tried a few watches and this one is my favourite. It also has a colourful display and shows your emails, messages and calendar notifications.
Pretty in pink! A pretty fitness tracker from Samsung. Priced at €199.99
- Photo frame piggy bank: Anyone that knows me knows I have a travel bug. This is the perfect gift for me to visually see and be reminded what I am working towards. Never ending travels. Every penny counts when it comes to saving. It can be easily hung up or placed on any surface.

- Polaroid camera: My work is very digital. I manage social media and marketing campaigns from home so everything’s online. I constantly work with pictures on my computer so I miss the good old days where I can hold pictures I’ve taken in my hands. The joy of point and shot has never escaped me. To have a picture instantaneously in your hands is something everyone would enjoy!

- Handmade dried flowers necklace: Women loves flowers. What better way to keep flowers nearby than in the dried form around your neck? There are a lot of options on Etsy and here are a few examples. You have to be careful because it’s in a glass ball. Keep away from the humidity!

- Advents Calendar (herb): I think I may have already mentioned but I love opening up presents. Especially to see things I didn’t think I need but end up loving. There are many different kinds of advents calendar on the market today, however, this year I am really feeling this herb one. It comes with a little explanation of each type of herb you open. I love cooking and finding out new herbs to use. I am always scared to put a whole portion and never knowing what to use it for! This particular one is in German since I am based in Germany.

- Sennheiser on-ear headphones: Been using the same free headphones that came with my phone ever since I can remember. They are never the best of quality, however, I never wanted to spend too much on something I find a luxury. This Sennheiser is the perfect gift. It isn’t too expensive and its great quality. It’s also foldable for the travellers out there!

- Heated throw blanket: There are no better ways to stay warm and cozy on the couch than with a heated throw blanket. Save your money on the apartment heaters, grab a blanket and snuggle on the couch. What other Christmas presents for your girlfriend would you need? It’s the gift of a heated blanket and lots of cuddles.

- Heated shoulder massager: Many people carry their stress on their shoulders. After a full day of work, it’s nice to have a heated massager that helps relax your muscles. Easy to use and extremely portable. Surprise your girlfriend with this gift she’d never expect or think of! There are also different versions. Smaller ones for the lower back or feet or etc. I have personally tried the shoulder massage and it really works wonders.

- Star Wars themed items she’d love: I have watched all the latest Star Wars movies there are out there. Not really a fan, however, there are a few things I quite enjoy. For example; R2D2 and the newest robot addition of BB-8. They two cute robots that seem to have a personality of their own. Perhaps your girlfriend might enjoy something cute/useable for the home of her favourite character.

- Aroma Diffuser: It’s quite dry in the winter months because the heater is nearly always on in my apartment. A little diffuser is just the thing to balance it. It also comes with soft lighting and aromatic mist. It helps sooth two of the five senses. The smell and sight. There are tons of choices but this one has great reviews on Amazon!

- Bubble bath machine: Having a nice bubble bath is just the way to unwind from the holiday stress. This little machine is easy to install and it reacts with the water to make an amazing bath. It comes with suckers to attach to the bathtub. Pour in a little bubble bath product and jump in.

- Scribble writing alarm clock: It is typical for me to think of something I must remember to do the next day that stresses me out because I am afraid I will forget it. This alarm clock might be the solution you need. When something comes to your mind, grab a scribble pen, write it down so once the alarm clock rings, it illuminates and it’s the first thing you see in the morning. It has 4 alarm melodies and displays time, temperature, year and date.

There are a lot of options out there so it’s really up to you to pick something your partner will love. Here’s a quick snapshot of the choices in Zalando. Just pay attention to her outfits and find something that matches!

- New 2018 calendar: Every woman who works or studies need a great calendar. My personal favourite is the Passion Planner. They have several options you can choose from including ones without a date so you can use it any year. Why do I prefer Passion Planner? It has a creative touch which I love. It comes with a roadmap so you can push yourself by setting goals and monthly reflection so you can keep an eye out on what you have achieved plus what you want to change the following month.

- Paint by numbers kit: Following the more creative side of things, this is another outlet for that juice. I bought one myself and spend hours a day painting. It’s such a joy to do this. It’s a nice pack with canvas (mounted on a wood frame), paints and paint brushes. Don’t need to anything else but yourself. This is my personal favourite as Christmas present for your girlfriend.
