Let’s face it—gifting can be tricky. How many scented candles or generic gift cards can one person possibly appreciate? Switch it up this festive season and give gifts that people actually get excited about. Whether you’re shopping for the fashion-forward friend, the skincare junkie, or the one who seems to have it all, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s a curated guide that will have everyone on your list saying, “How did you know?!”
Jewellery
Jewellery is always a winning choice for festive gifting—it’s personal, meaningful, and forever cool. Whether it’s dainty gold hoops, a statement ring, or a layered necklace, the right piece becomes a keepsake that remains long after the festivities.
Note: Available to shop at Collective Africa’s locations in Dubai’s Jumeirah Al Naseem, Pearl Jumeirah Island, and Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island.
For the Sweet Tooth
Sweets complement your festive presents so well, it’s practically non-negotiable. Ladurée’s Pampille Collection is a must-have for the season, featuring festive macaron boxes, luxurious drawer sets, and their must-try Épice de Noël macarons infused with warm Christmas spices.
Book Them A Mini Getaway
What’s better than gifting an experience?
Treat them to a luxurious mini-escape at Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort. From festive brunches and beach parties to private cabanas and infinity pools, this resort promises a memorable retreat with all the holiday indulgence they deserve.
Max Mara Newness
Launched just in time for the festive season, Max Mara’s Olimpia jacket would make anyone smile. With its luxurious wool-mohair blend and meticulous hand-stitched detailing—it’s a statement piece. The versatile silhouette makes it ideal for layering or elevating everyday looks, making it one of those gifts that’ll be worn (and admired) for years to come. Because honestly, who wouldn’t want a little Max Mara under the tree?
Skincare
Gifting skincare is like saying, “Here’s to glowing into the new year!” Whether it’s a hydrating mask for that mid-winter boost or a luxurious serum that feels like a spa in a bottle, skincare is always a thoughtful choice. It’s personal yet universal—because who doesn’t love an excuse to pamper themselves? Wrap it up with a cute ribbon, and you’re good to go.
Bags (Of Course!)
Is there ever a wrong time to gift a fabulous bag? We think not. Whether it’s a sleek mini clutch for holiday soirées or a roomy tote for those who carry their world with them, a good bag is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
