The best Christmas gifts for women, surprise them!

With Christmas just around the corner and Mariah Carey ringing in every corner, the eternal dilemma of these magical dates is back: what to give the most important women in your life? In this season of elves, lights and presents under the tree, choosing the perfect gift can be a real challenge. Between ‘she already has this’, ‘I gave her this last year’ or ‘she probably doesn’t like this’, finding something special seems like mission impossible.

The most common solution is to opt for generic and unmemorable gifts: perfume, clothing gift cards or slippers. But why not go one step further and choose something meaningful? A gift that speaks of the person who receives it, that reflects their tastes and needs. Get ready to surprise with a gift that is not only useful, but that will become an indelible memory.

10 Christmas gift ideas for women

If the above dilemma is keeping you awake at night, don’t worry! Here’s a definitive list of Christmas gift ideas for women to suit all tastes and styles: 

1. Handbags or backpacks that reflect her essence: gifting a handbag is undoubtedly gifting an extension of the recipient’s personal style. Choose one that suits her style, whether elegant, casual or functional, and give her a practical, unique gift with personality. 
2. Self-care kits: skincare sets, body treatments, facial masks, essential oils and scented candles are the ideal gift for those moments of relaxation and wellbeing at home.
3. Individual or couple experiences: from creative workshops (such as pottery, sewing or painting) to concerts, dinners in themed restaurants or spa days.
4. Jewellery with meaning: choose pieces that include details that have special significance, such as engraved dates, charms that remind them of pets, or any symbol that has importance in their life.
5. Useful technology: wireless headphones for sports, eBooks for digital reading lovers, or smartwatches for those who enjoy innovation.
6. Books or readings that inspire or evoke: a good book is always an appreciated detail. If you are looking to inspire, opt for books on personal growth, psychology or couples therapy. If you want them to escape from everyday life, fantasy books or thrillers are perfect options that will captivate them.
7. Personalised subscriptions: you can opt for training course platforms, subscriptions to services related to their hobbies, or even boxes of beauty and personal care products that arrive every month.
8. Appliances or furniture ‘that make a home’: if you want to surprise them with something useful for both of you, choose appliances or furniture that, as well as being functional, add style and organisation to the home. Bookcases, bedside tables, desks or even small designer appliances are more than valid options.
9. Dream trips: if your budget allows, there is no better gift than a trip. Preparing an adventure together at Christmas can be the perfect gift to strengthen your relationship and create memories that will last a lifetime.
10. Crafts with special moments: handmade gifts always have an incomparable emotional value. Creating a personalised photo album or a handmade keepsake box are details that show time, effort and love.

Why choose a bag or backpack as a Christmas gift?

In line with the above, this year we suggest you leave the usual gifts behind and opt for something that combines style and functionality, for example: the bags or backpacks from Binnari’s new ‘The Journey’ collection. 

Why, you ask? Because they are more than just accessories. Bags and backpacks are both practical and emotionally charged pieces. Accessories that not only accompany everyday life, but are also capable of elevating any look.

Therefore, there are many gift options, but when compared to other alternatives, bags and backpacks stand out for their many advantages that you can not miss: 

• Versatility: suitable for all ages. From young people looking for modern accessories to older women who prefer a more elegant and classic design, there will always be a bag or backpack that fits perfectly with their personality and pace of life.
• Practicality: with their multiple compartments, easy access and streamlined design, these bags become indispensable allies for organising your essentials and carrying everything you need in a comfortable and stylish way.
• Variety: offered in a wide range of designs and colours, making them suitable for all kinds of preferences. From the most elegant bag for a special evening out to the most casual backpack for the daily routine, there is always an option for every woman.

Have you made up your mind? It’s time to act!

Tips for choosing a handbag or backpack as Christmas gifts for women

As a premise, when giving a handbag or backpack as a gift, you should not only focus your efforts on making it beautiful, but it should also be able to adapt to the lifestyle of the person who will receive it. Here are some key tips to help you choose the right bag or backpack:

• Know the recipient’s tastes: before choosing, consider their personal style and colour preferences – do they like classic, modern or minimalist designs? Do they prefer neutral tones or more vibrant colours? Make sure the bag or backpack suits her personality.
• Consider functionality: think about what the gift will be used for. If she needs an office bag for everyday use, opt for a spacious and practical one. If she wants it for events or special outings, look for a more elegant design (perhaps a total black). For active women, a spacious and durable backpack will be ideal.
• Quality and durability: invest in good quality products such as durable PU, nylon or other durable materials. This will ensure that the bag or backpack will stand the test of time and maintain its good condition.

Learn how to wrap a handbag for Christmas gifts

Would you know how to wrap a gift bag? At Binnari, we offer the possibility to prepare your order as a gift at the end of your purchase process by selecting the option ‘prepare your order as a gift’. This will involve a minimum supplement that will be applied to the price and whose conditions you can consult on the shipping and returns page. 

However, if you want to know how to wrap a bag as a gift, here we summarise the process of wrapping a Binnari bag:

1. Selection of the wrapping material: firstly, at Binnari we choose tissue paper as the material to protect our bags due to its delicacy and aesthetic presentation. 
2. Preparation of the bag to give as a gift: we take care of wrapping the bag in such a way that it is completely protected and any of its elements are not damaged in the process of sending it to the client’s home. 
3. Use of a protective box: once the first layer of protection has been applied, the bag will be placed in a perfectly sealed cardboard box. This not only serves as protection, but also enhances the presentation of the gift. 
4. Details and finishing touches: as you can see in the pictures, a decorative ribbon and a business card are added to the wrapping to personalise and adapt the gift according to the occasion or the recipient’s preference.
