You know the feeling? You haven’t tried hard enough with your Christmas gifts. Your partner or loved one is going to shower you with all sorts of thoughtful delights and your offering is going to look decidedly underwhelming in comparison.

Well, worry not because there is still time, no matter how much or little you have to spend. A sparkly nail polish can give as much joy as a diamond (well, nearly). If you are short on inspiration, try to key into the intended recipient’s interests. Have they started running, or crafting? Is there a new or classic fragrance they might love? A book?
