Monica's Holiday Gift Guide

Monica's Holiday Gift Guide

Hej, predivna! Spremna za malo ljepote i inspiracije?

Hey gorgeous! Ready for a little beauty and inspiration?

The holidays are fast approaching, and ‘tis the season to check present shopping off your to-do list. But gift giving doesn’t have to just be a chore; it’s a love language, and it can be a real art. As someone who’s always looking for the beauty in things, the holiday season feels like the perfect time to show my loved ones how much they mean to me with a thoughtful, tailored-to-them present. 

But these tokens of affection don’t have to break the bank; as the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts. So read on for some of my tried-and-true favorites for making spirits bright. 

Experience is Everything

One of my favorite ways of deciding on a present for someone is thinking about what they WON’T get or do for themselves. A gift card to a spa is perfect for the workaholics or sleep-deprived parents in your life. Cooking or dance classes are a great way to celebrate a newlywed couple’s first Christmas together. And what better surprise for a makeup-obsessed teenager than lessons at a beauty counter?

Like and Subscribe

Subscriptions are part of daily life in 2025, but they can make a surprisingly exciting gift too. From fly fishing gear boxes and candle deliveries to sophisticated cheese selections, there’s something to match the hobbies of anyone and everyone on your list. The key is to tune into what makes them happy. 

Get Crafty

Lean into your favorite hobbies or try your hand at a new one. Do you sew? Monogrammed napkins are a heartwarming touch for your favorite hostess. If you’re a baker, consider making your crowd favorite cookies, and gift them as frozen dough (with cooking instructions, of course) for a fresh-out-of-the-oven treat anytime. Nothing makes a gift more special than effort and thoughtfulness. 

Beauty in a Box

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention beauty products on this list, both as a lipstick lover AND creator. A bold red is a holiday classic for a reason (my favorite is Krovište Red), but you can’t go wrong with a luxurious neutral like Plaža Nude to infuse some elegance into the recipient’s daily routine. But cosmetics aren’t just potential gifts for makeup wearers; bare-faced folks deserve some love too! Our Čisto Gloss – The Unisex Hydrating Liquid Lip Glaze will keep their lips moisturized and comfortable during the chilly winter months. 

Of course, the best gifts are ones that truly reflect their recipients. As long as you focus on finding (or creating) something that will make them light up, you can’t go wrong. And if the present reminds them of you, that’s even better. So don’t be afraid to put your own twist on it!

If you have any go-to gifts for your “Nice List”, I’d love to hear them. And in the meantime, good luck with your holiday shopping!

Ljubav, sjaj i poljupci!
