Inspired Christmas gifts for everyone on your list
With Christmas only weeks away, now’s the time to start working through your list to ensure that deliveries are made before the big day arrives. “The perfect gift acknowledges the tastes and interests of your recipient,” notes Lumira founder and creative director Almira Armstrong. “For example, if you’re selecting for someone who loves to travel, a scent that’s inspired by their favourite destination will always be a welcome memento.”
Here, Armstrong shares her top gift ideas, no matter who you’re buying for.
FOR HER
“These little luxuries will light up her Christmas morning.”
FLORESCENCE CANDLE
A collaboration with the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, our newest scent is a lush blend of white blossoms and earthy notes. Proceeds are donated to the Garden’s conservation and research work.
TUSCAN FIG PERFUME OIL
This heady fruity fragrance is simply bursting with a feelgood summer spirit, and the palm-sized rollerball applicator makes it ideal for travel.
SIROCCO CANDLE
Inspired by the souks of Morocco, this rich and exotic scent melds spicy cumin with earthy sandalwood and cedar, all spiked with zesty tangerine.
FOR HIM
“He’ll be thrilled to discover these fragrances and accessories under the tree.”
DUBH BY LUC CANDLE
Dublin by way of Tasmania. This dark and sensual scent has a musky patchouli base enlivened by the fresh notes of coniferous forests.
GLASS DOME
With its sleek lines and smoky finish, this dome is as chic as it is practical.
FOR THE DIFFICULT TO BUY FOR
“Whether it’s a Kris Kringle gift or your recipient is notoriously fussy, these ideas are sure to please.”
LUMIRA GIFT CARDS
You select the value; they get to choose the scent.
WICK TRIMMER
Clever candle accessories marry form and function, like this trimmer, which precisely snips the wick for a cleaner burn.
FOR YOURSELF
“I firmly believe in treating yourself as you do others – especially at Christmas time.”
NUIT DE NOEL CANDLE
