Some of us enjoy the quiet side of life. We’re our own best company and we love to just chill…alone. If this sounds like your bestie, we’ve rounded up some ideal Christmas pressies for your introvert friend. The best part? They’re all under Dhs300 *and* perfect for the upcoming winter season.
The comfiest blanket
Dubai winters are for snuggling under a comfy blanket. Chickidee’s Chunky Knit Throw (Dhs289, namshi.com) is soft, sleep-inducing, and beautiful. We’re pretty sure the special introvert in your life will waste no time in cuddling up under this gorgeous blanket.
Titles from Reese’s Book Club
Who doesn’t love to curl up with a good book? It just so happens that Kinokuniya has a section on their website dedicated to Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club. You can grab a title or two for your gal pal to indulge in. Not sure where to start? ‘The Giver of Stars’ by Jojo Moyes (Dhs54, kinokuniya.com) and ‘The Last Story of Mina Lee’ by Nancy Jooyoun Kim (Dhs81, kinokuniya.com) have both gotten rave reviews.
Crystal-infused healing candles
We’re obsessed with The Gloe Company’s candles (starting at Dhs165, L’Couture) and we’re pretty sure this pressie for your introvert friend will be a hit. According to Gloe’s founder, “Gloe is about becoming the best possible version of yourself whilst using mantras and words of positive affirmation.”
Each vegan candle is made of coconut and soy wax candle, infused with ethically sourced crystals, packaged in sustainable materials, and comes with a positive affirmation on its label. With scents like amber vanillè and vetiver, pink fig and cashmere, and bamboo and green tea, you can’t go wrong.
This gel moisturiser
Dermalogica’s BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer is exactly what you need to add to your skincare routine to brighten & radiate your face after a long day. The Dermalogica BioLumin-C moisturiser retails for Dhs345, shop here.
Dead Sea salt bath
Unwinding in a warm bath full of salt from the Dead Sea? Umm…yes plz! Minus 417’s Hydrating Dead Sea Bath Salt (Dhs69, faces.com) relaxes the mind and soothes the skin with its mineral sea salts from the lowest point on the Earth’s surface (you guessed it… – 417 meters below sea level).
Your introvert will appreciate the gift of recharging and reflecting while getting her skin refreshed, softened, and smoothed.
