With Christmas around the corner, it’s the perfect time to splurge and show your loved ones just how much they mean to you. If your love language isn’t gift-giving and you’re feeling a little stuck on what to get, this guide is here to help. With various gifts for every budget, you’re sure to get inspired.

Cardholder – Okhtein

If you want to go the extra mile this year and you are ready to dig into your savings account, Okhtein, a local luxury brand, is your go-to.

From Emma Watson to Gigi Hadid, their products have an international allure. You can always go for one of their signature bags or an Okhtein cardholder, which combines function with intricate designs. It’s a thoughtful gift for anyone who values quality and artistry.

Perfumes – Nuit and Nspired

Nuit and Nspired perfumes are the talk of the town right now. They are affordable, equal to luxury perfumes in their delicate fragrances, and just as long-lasting. If you’re looking for a safe choice, who doesn’t like to smell this good?

Blanket and Onesies – Snuggs

Since it’s Christmas season, why not choose a winter-themed gift? Who doesn’t like to cuddle in a hooded blanket or a onesie? Snuggs offers unisex onesies and blank hoodies that fit all tastes with playful animal designs for laid-back people and plain, regular styles for those who prefer something more classic.

Scented Candles – EM’

Scented candles are another winter staple. Everybody loves a scented candle, which makes it a great choice in case you are assigned as a secret Santa for someone you are not close to.

They can help you focus, unwind, and feel all warm and relaxed with their beautiful scents. EM’ is an ideal brand that offers heavenly scents but won’t break your bank. They make their candles from natural herbs from Siwa Oasis.

Spa Gift Card – Resense

Whether you are gifting a mom who hasn’t had a day to herself in a while or a working adult who can’t catch a break, a spa day is the definition of pampering.

It also works for both genders; anyone would appreciate a free massage. If you want to make it a lavish day, Resense Spa at Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski will give them the royal treatment.

The Nutcracker Ballet Tickets

While tickets to a ballet show aren’t the first thing that pops to mind when we say wellness, dressing up for the opera and immersing yourself in the graceful movements and enchanting music is a top-tier experience. Sometimes, a captivating performance offers the serene escape from everyday life that is needed to recharge.

Luckily, one of the best ballet shows worldwide, the Nutcracker Ballet, is coming to Cairo Opera House from December 26 to December 30, right on time for the Holiday season.

Vintage Digital Cameras – EgyDigiCam

If you’re looking for a gift that captures wellness through nostalgia and creativity, a vintage digital camera is what you need. It offers a chance to take up a new hobby and appreciate the beauty around you. You can always hunt an old one from Souq Diana or if you’re running short on time, order one from EgyDigiCam.

Planner or Journal – Mofkera

It’s a gift that helps them set their goals for the new year while also getting their life organized by planning their days and writing down their feelings.

Check out Mofkera for some affordable, sleek options.
