We love Christmas at The Bride’s Tree, and nothing says holiday cheer to us like giving. Finding just the right presents for the special people in your life is half the fun of the silly season. That is, when you can find the very thing they would adore! We’ve made it oh-so-much easier for you by collating some of the best gifts we’ve seen from beauty to sweet treats, and even some super cool experiences. 

Welcome to The Bride’s Tree official cover all Christmas gift guide for 2017. Let’s dive into the goodies… 

Only the cutest Christmas cookies of life

My question to you is this: do you actually think you can get through this Christmas without a St. Nick poo emoji cookie? I think not. 

SweetP Cakes and Cookies have also designed a darling duo for those who like to treat Santa to his milk and cookies. Rudolf won’t be left out either with an adorable carrot-shaped cookie that would make anybody’s nose glow. 

Christmas cookie packs start at $10.00, must be ordered. 

Personalised clutch or wallet

Get your best girl a personalised clutch from Miss Monogram, priced at $109.95. This is such a special gift she will treasure forever and know you went out of your way to get her something especially for her. 

For him, a monogrammed wallet from The Daily Edited will do the trick. 

Freshwater pearls that give back 

Naked Pearls Melbourne give three meals to a person in need for every freshwater pearl jewellery piece purchased. There are 1 billion people in the world without enough food to eat, and by buying this gift you’re making a positive contribution. I love it! My fave piece is a pair of their freshwater pearl Trumpet earrings, $100. 

Bath brew 

The trouble with having a sweet-smelling salt bath is usually the uncomfortable salt rocks under your tushie. This was the woe of the creator of Mae Laine Bath Teabags before she came up with this ingenious concept. All your salts and beautiful botanic smells neatly packed into a tea bag for your bath!

This is a great gift for your bridesmaids-to-be, just to show them how much you love and appreciate them this Christmas. One bath teabag will set you back $17.50, or buy a bundle for $50. 

Natural skin care gift card 

Purely plant based, Saya Skincare uses a unique and advanced formulas, harnessing the power of organic Australian Native Botanicals to attain results commonly thought only achievable with synthetic ingredients.

Saya Skincare was developed locally here on the Sunshine Coast in Noosa – we love supporting local brands! If you don’t know which products to choose, you can buy a gift card on their website starting from $50.

Makeup lesson

The gift of a lesson with a pro makeup artist is perfect for that gal who loves her makeup and wants to nail their skills. Or even for that gal, who has never had the knack and really wants to learn the basics. Many of our amazing makeup artists offer lessons. The Beauty Case (pictured) offer lessons starting from $100. 

Memories to last a lifetime 

Now is the perfect time of year to get that gorgeous beach family portrait. You’ve been saying it for ages, but you haven’t quite found the time to get yourself booked in.

Most of our talented Sunshine Coast photographers offer family portrait sessions. Whether you’re buying for yourself or a gift for a deserving mum, this is a present to treasure for life. This image is from a family portrait session with Megan Willis Photography. 

A Day at the Cabanas

Make like Beyonce and Jay Z and hire a luxury poolside cabana for the day in Noosa. Champagne, fruit platter, personal butler service – this is the life! Cabana hire is for up to four people when staying at the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort. 

Craft beer tour

If you’re a cool girl, then obviously this is the gift you will present to your man for Christmas – a craft beer tour of the Sunshine Coast! The five-hour tour takes you behind-the-scenes to local breweries and a craft beer bar we didn’t even know existed in Mooloolaba, Maleny, and Pomona. No arguing over who will be the designated driver this time, just hop on the bus and enjoy the experience.

We hope you found some gift-giving gems in our Christmas Gift Guide. Happy shopping!

For the sweet tooth, or anyone you know who happens to love all things pretty and handmade, the Shine Bright cookie collection from SweetP Cakes and Cookies. 

For the beauty lover, one of these rad hair product packs from Evalyn Parsons Hair. The Cloud Nine gift sets have arrived in the salon just in time for Christmas, featuring a stylish heat resistant bag, paddle brush and crocodile clips they are available in both the original and wide irons. And you can’t go past KEVIN.MURPHY hair care for the lass who likes her locks lush. 

Every time I’ve had a family portrait done, I’ve said I’ll do one every year. The last one was five years ago. No parent is not going to absolutely love receiving a voucher for a location shoot with one of our amazing local photographers. This one was taken at the beach by Karen Buckle. 

For the girl who has everything, a makeup lesson with Sally Townsend Makeup Artistry is the absolutely perfect gift. Bookings by appointment only.

The greatest gifts are always the experiences we have and the people we have them with. A meal at one of Hasting Street’s finest, Rickys River Bar and Restaurant, would be a memorable treat for the holiday season. 

Speaking of Noosa’s finest… I’m just saying I wouldn’t shy from little stay away at the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, and I don’t know anybody who would, quite frankly! 

Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy shopping for your loved ones!
