For the adventurous and creative

For those who have a bit of an artistic or adventurous streak, why not give them an experience they’ll always remember? There are plenty of sites which offer adventures and experiences, and the best thing is that you can buy online, print the voucher, pop it in a pretty envelope, and your gift is done! No waiting for delivery, and no trips to the shopping centre. Our pick? An 8-week Digital Photography Course.

For the culinary god or goddess

For those who love to spend time in the kitchen creating edible masterpieces, some unique kitchen and baking ware is a must. We love quirky and functional gifts like this 24-piece Stainless Steel Pastry Tube set.

For the foodie
For those who love the gourmet things in life, you can’t go past an all-in one food hamper like this Savoury Platter Hamper including Antipasto Olives, Pecorino and Green Olive biscuits, Basil and Sun-dried Tomato Pesto, Basil and Roasted Garlic Pesto and Avocado and Garlic Dip.

For the traveller

For globetrotters and those with the travel bug, travel books like a Lonely Planet Hawaii Travel Guide are a great option.

A handy duffle bag is also always useful for those who travel frequently. Find one in a bright colour so it’s easily recognisable. This one byRugged Xtremes is waterproof and super durable.

For the health and fitness nut

If you know a health nut, be sure to get them some treats they’ll feel good about enjoying this Holiday Season. These Dark Chocolate Covered Banana pieces are dairy free, soy free, gluten free, high in antioxidants, and delicious. There’s also delicious Organic Raw Chocolate, and Chocolate Covered Blueberries – perfectly delicious stocking stuffers!

If they’re into fitness, for a stylish and functional Christmas present, try a bright coloured yoga mat, like this one from Nike. If you’re not sure what sport they’re currently partaking in, there are also gift cards like the Rebel Sport Gift card, which gives them the freedom to choose their own workout gear and equipment.

For Teens

For the teenager who seemingly has it all, why not get them the newest in fun gadgets? The Skatecycle won an International Design Excellence Award and a permanent place in the Henry Ford Museum. (Check out the video of the Skatecycle in action – you may just want to buy one for yourself!)

For the girls, a pretty gift set is the perfect present. This Sweet Surprise Gift Packfrom MOR Cosmetics contains hand cream and a mini soap, all packaged in a gorgeous box and tin.

Your BFF
For the outdoorsy bestie: Summer siesta anyone? With room for one, or two (ahem!), this huge, colourful hammock will make a perfect new addition to the backyard of your bff. If she doesn’t already, she’ll soon love spending time lounging around in the great outdoors. 

For the gourmet guru bestie: Does she appreciate a nice glass of vino? Then take the lucky lady on a premium food and wine experience. Spend the relaxing day sampling exceptional local produce, including wine, fruits and cheeses. 

Your lovely Mum or Mother-in-law
For the gourmet lover mum: The Beach House Picnic basket is perfect for a summer day in the park. You can add wine and chocolates to it too – If you’re lucky, she might even invite you along to enjoy it!

For the queen of her castle: Mum will love every second spent in and out of the garden with this trendy gardening kit. With stylish gloves, and a luxurious triple-milled soap, enriched with manuka honey, she’ll feel like a true queen bee.

Your wife/partner
How about this two hour Japanese Massage and Bath in the Yarra Valley, that includes a hot mineral spa in a private Japanese walled garden, followed by a one hour full body massage, and then finished with complimentary Japanese tea and cake to sweeten the deal. Take it from me – this experience takes the cake when it comes to Chrissie presents!

For the home body: Give her the gift of comfort with this Sheridan Ultra Light Luxury Bath Robe. Not only will she be uber comfy, but she’ll be the queen of the castle when she dons this lush robe.
