As the big ol’ sleigh gets dusted off in the North Pole and Father Christmas gets ready to travel around the world, it’s also time for you to play Santa to your loved ones and find them a gift that’s just perfect. Keeping with that spirit, My Kolkata takes a look at a few Christmas gifting ideas that might just be perfect for your friends.
For the make-up lover
MARS Cosmetics
If your friend is someone who enjoys make-up, but does not always get the time to look their best, a combination of the 4-in-1 Travel brush and the Eyeshadow palette from MARS Cosmetics is the ideal gift this Christmas. The brush is multifunctional and can be used as a foundation brush, a powder brush, an eyeshadow blending brush and a flat brush, all in one. The eyeshadow palette contains 10 unique colours, so your friend can serve looks, anywhere, anytime. Portable, and perfect for people on-the-go.
For the pop culture f(r)iends
Redbubble
Is your friend someone who loves making pop culture references? In that case, could this gift ‘be any more perfect’? Redbubble’s epic collection of hoodies and sweatshirts, all paying homage to your favourite pop culture properties, is legen-wait for it-dairy! From The Princess Diaries to The Sopranos, and everything in between, these hoodies are the best way to tell your friend, ‘Hey, I got that reference.’

These friendship bracelets are a great way to let your friend know you’ve always got their back, but that’s not all: they also look great!

For the ones you want to give a big hug to
Amracasa
Something that has got designers around the world talking, knotted
pillows are a great accessory to go with any piece of furniture in the house.
Their soft and squishy texture is also known to have great sensory benefits,
and can even be used to support your back and hips while you sleep. Sometimes
the best gift is a big hug, but when you can’t be there, this is something that
will help your friend (hopefully) hug their stress away!

For the ones far away
LettersInTheSky
The most thoughtful gifts are the ones that can make someone’s bad day a little better. This collection of handmade ‘Open When’ envelopes lets you personalise and create your own custom messages to your friend, all in their individual envelopes, each tailored for a specific situation where you feel a little voice in their ear will mean the world (Open when you need a pick-me-up, Open when you want to escape, etc). Choose your envelopes, write your own custom messages, and make some memories! P.S.: These envelopes are also perfect for you to slip in a few small gifts along with your messages (A book, a chocolate bar, the possibilities are endless, have fun!)

For the interior (non) decorator
Zufolo Designs
Let’s be honest: we all have that one friend who you know can make their home look nicer. You love them, and maybe this is a good way to introduce them to interior decoration. Throw blankets are great, because you can literally just throw them over a sofa, and suddenly, a messy room is avant-garde. Or, fold them neatly at the foot of your bed, and go to sleep feeling classy. Either way, this reversible throw blanket from Zufolo Designs made of Cotton Jacquard contains two unique designs on either side, so even your friend who has never before considered making their living space look prettier has something to work with.

For the Jughead
Coddies
Is there a friend in your life who is probably thinking about food even as you read this? In that case, these Bread Loaf slippers are a great Christmas gift, evoking something that is very important to them: food. They are also something that will keep their feet warm in the winter, as an added bonus. These cotton indoor slippers are soft and comfy, and also a very funny way to let your friend know you care about what they care about. Also, these shoes are gluten-free (probably, please don’t let your friend eat them!).
