The 2015 Lux Life Christmas Gift Guide.

Every year I do a Christmas Gift Guide, so naturally this year is no different. This year however, I wanted to incorporate more gifts that I have and use myself, so you know that they're a good buy for your loved ones and friends! I'm also going to keep it shorter this year, with only the best of the best!

These are really brilliant travel accessories for anyone who loves to travel! The leather 'This is Ground' Tech Dopp Kit from Bear & Bear (£115) is a fab choice for anyone who loves to travel and keep their technology and wires organized when on-the-go. I love mine and it really helps to stop all of those camera chargers getting lost. The Spacepak from Bear & Bear (£40) is really useful for keeping your packing organized, and I can't wait to use mine when I go to Poland next weekend! The leather Dubarry Belfield iPad air case (currently on sale for £35) is classy and luxurious, and has that delicious leather smell (maybe avoid giving this to a vegan...).

My beauty choices are some of my personal favourites. The Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (£68) is ideal for ladies who love the luxury scent of Chanel but aren't quite mature enough for Chanel No5. The Ah Beauty products are my favourites; the Elderberry Moisturiser (£26.50), Pro-age eye cream (£17.50) and Makeup Remover (£14.50). The Label M Oat & Honey set (£31.70) is perfect for any lady who loves luxury haircare, and the Champneys gift sets (the Citrus Blush Body Collection - £12 and the Spa Essentials Grooming Set for men - £16) are ideal for any family member of friend.

I've been using my Jawbone Up3 (£130) for about six months now, and I love it for it's heart rate and sleep monitoring. I also use their app to track my daily steps. The perfect Christmas gift for any baker is of course the gorgeous red Kitchenaid Stand Mixer (£405). I have a Kitchenaid hand mixer (£93) and love it, but oh my wouldn't the stand mixer look perfect on the kitchen counter!? The Bluffer's guides to Food (£6.99) and Etiquette (£6.99) are brilliant stocking fillers, they do a whole heap of different ones for different hobbies and personalities. 

For anyone who loves fashion, I'm totally in love with Mayveda's gorgeous range of vintage jewellery, and although not particularly luxe, this GAP Scarf (19.50) is super warm and perfect for winter. I have Some Mayveda pieces myself (you can see me wearing my necklace and earrings in my Paris posts), and I also have the scarf - I love treating myself to a new scarf every winter. The beautiful Jigsaw sunset phone case (£25) is super cute and the dark pink ombre makes it very autumn/winter. 

I absolutely love Hotel Chocolat chocolates, and they're the ideal luxury choccie gift for Christmas. I still remember when the Hotel Chocolat opened in Guildford a few years ago, we all got so excited and would go there regularly to treat ourselves to something! Personally I love the chocolate slabs (£10), but for Christmas the Winter Desserts H-Box (£12) and the Christmas Chorus (£12) would make perfect delicious gifts!
