Daniel Wellington

| Watch HERE | Cuff HERE |
If you've followed me on Instagram for a while you know that I've been a huge fan of Daniel Wellington watches since the beginning. I've owned one of their classic pieces for about three years now & I have not grown tired of it, in fact, I have to stop myself from wearing it sometimes to prevent my other watches from collecting dust.
I truly believe their pieces are so affordable for the quality that you're getting. The leather ages so well, I actually prefer how it looks once I've worn it in. This one pictured is new to me from their classic black collection & OMG it is so stunning. I am pretty picky when it comes to design and they just do everything so well, from the type of leather, to the color of the leather, to the overall face design, It's perfect. They also make cuffs (like the one pictured) which go so well with the watches.
They were nice enough to give my followers a 15% discount off their entire site by entering the promo code "GEMARY" at checkout valid through January 31. For the holidays they are offering free shipping, free returns & free gift-wrapping.
If you're having trouble figuring out what to gift someone, look no further! You seriously cannot go wrong with any of their watches. Order by December 21 in order to receive it by Christmas Day. Happy shopping!
Minimal Gift Guide 2016
Here is a minimal gift guide for those of you that need help finding the perfect gift for someone. I own & really love most of the products mentioned & I think they are perfect gifts. As for the things that I do not own yet, ... I wish I did & I'd be pretty happy if someone got them for me so I decided to include it in here.
1. Watch: Pictured is a Nicole Vienna watch but I think any watch with a similar style will be a great gift. You cannot go wrong with a watch for a watch lover. I currently own two Nicole Vienna Watches and absolutely love them. They are not extremely expensive but great quality.
[ Special mention ]: Daniel Wellington, The Horse and Larsson & Jennings make beautiful watches as well.
2. Mophie power station: If you're anything like me, you probably run out of phone battery very often. I own a couple of portable battery chargers but they do not hold more than 1 charge & again, if you're ANYTHING like me you hate charging those damn things. For the amount of power it takes to charge devices now adays you definitely need a good portable battery if you want to get more than 1 complete charge. I don't currently own this one but I've heard good things about it. However, It is a bit on the pricier side, if you're looking for something more affordable I've also heard this one does the job.
3. Planner: If you're gifting for someone who appreciates stationary & loves journals/planners then what better gift to give than a cute minimal planner?
4. Iphone case: Who doesn't love a new iPhone case? These clear ones are my favorite & sonix makes some of the cutest ones.
5. Letter board: If you're gifting for someone that appreciates quotes, then look no further!! I have had this board on my wishlist for a VERY long time & I think it'll be the perfect gift for just about anyone.
6. Wireless headphones: With technology advancing quickly I think this would be the perfect gift for just about anyone. I actually need a pair myself. I go to the gym & feel like a dinosaur with my plugged in headphones while everyone else is rocking the latest wireless gadgets. These are more affordable than the powerbeats (which are great) but I think these are more aesthetically pleasing.
7. PF candle co: If you follow me on just about any social media platform, chances are you've heard me talk about these candles. There is a reason why I am constantly talking about them, they're the best. Sure there are a million other candle companies that makes cute candles, but very rarely do you come across one's that have nice packaging, are potent & affordable. These also come with a single wick instead of three.
8. Le labo fragrance: Going to be honest here, I just realllllllly love the packaging on these lol ( Havent tried but heard great things). The reason I decided to include this extremely expensive fragrance is because maybe you're willing to spend a little more on the person & these fragrances can be personalized ( personalized scent & they can put the person's name on the bottle!) not a big deal for some but I think that's a nice touch & awesome for gifting. If you're not willing to spend that much then these little travel sized one's are great as well.
9. Mario Badescu rose spray: AKA best $7 you'll ever spend! I have gone through countless bottles and I never go without a backup. I use it right after I wash my face during the day as a toner and absolutely love it.
10. Lush bath bombs: If the person has a bath tub then you really can't go wrong with bath bombs!
11. Elephant ring holder: I have a similar one myself and really love it, before I had one of these I was always misplacing my rings!
12. Macrame wall hanging: I think this is such a beautiful decorative piece that will go perfectly in any room. I have been wanting one for a very long time & I think it'll be such a perfect gift especially for home-owners.
13. Polaroid camera: If you're gifting for a photography lover then I can almost guarantee they will love this gift! I have one myself and absolutely love it.
14. Le labo candle: If you're gifting for a hard-core candle lover & are willing to spend a bit more on them then I think they will love this candle. It's just as pretty as the diptyque candles that everyone raves about but a bit more affordable.
15. Nyx soft matte lip creams: If the person loves lipsticks then just give them a whole bag of these lipsticks and they will love you forever. I own almost every color & cannot get enough of them, they are super affordable and the formula is great!
