Christmas gift ideas

Has anyone else found themselves doing more of their Christmas shopping online this year than ever before? If you know what you’re shopping for, it’s so much easier than doing battle with the festive crowds.

One of my favourite websites to shop at is www.roullierwhite.com They have so many beautiful gifts and some quirky ideas for hard-to-buy-for people. I bought my contestants and fellow judges beautiful Rigaud candles at the end of the 2010 season of The X-Factor. They are possibly the best-scented candles in the world – fashionistas…..Jackie Kennedy used to scent the White House with them!!!

I bought Mrs White’s shaving serum for Kris, then ended up keeping it for myself and Mrs White’s also makes a range of old-fashioned cleaning products that never fail to release my inner ‘Monica’.

And I was so excited to see Roullier White’s brushed cotton pajamas being worn by characters Matthew and Carson in Downton Abbey. I’ve been immersing myself in series 2 at the moment, in preparation for the Christmas special.

To spread the joy this Christmas the lovely people at Roullier White are offering 10% off online orders when you enter the word ‘Dannii’ at check out at www.roullierwhite.com.  

Here are some of the items making my Christmas wish list this year:

Mrs White’s Christmas Hamper

                 

Release your inner ‘Monica’ with some good old-fashioned spring-cleaning. I use Mrs White’s people, pet and plant friendly products and I love this Christmas Hamper of seasonally scented Mrs White’s products. It even includes bath salts for a well-earned post-cleaning wind down.

 Candles, candles, candles

                          

As you probably know, I’m crazy for candles. I use them to scent the entrance hall to my house – a great way to create a fragrant first-impression. I’m dying to try Roullier White’s new fig and pomegranate candle. I’ve had a little sniff and it reminds me of shopping in opulent boutiques in New York. This fragrance also comes in a reed dispenser, perfect when you want to keep little hands away from naked flames. 

                                            

And for a really festive-fragrance I love their Christmas candle in cut glass tumbler. 

Vintage purse pendant

                                 

This vintage-look purse pendant is an ingenious way to keep a treasured possession, or your house key, close to your heart. Gorgeous and practical it taps into the mixed metals accessories trend – the purse is brass, the chain 22 carat gold plated.

Cashmere socks

                                         

These are a must-have stocking-stuffer. The men in my family can be sure they’ll receive a pair each year and it won’t be long before little Ethan grows into his first pair!

Festive Tea towels

                              

Avoid wine faux pas with this corker of a Christmas present. These tea towels tell you exactly the right wine to pair with your dinner party fare. And keep the conversation flowing over the washing up with these tongue-twister tea towels (http://bit.ly/uPcBGd).

Snuggle blanket

           

One of the high points of Christmas for me is snuggling down on the couch to enjoy a festive film or three. This mohair snuggle blanket is perfect for cozying up with a cup of tea and a mince pie after a day of family festivities.

Happy shopping and Happy Holidays
