I get some presents from the childrens’ Christmas lists and put plenty of thought into the other presents I buy. Despite this, purchasing lots of successful Christmas presents is somewhat of a holy grail. So many times items are used fleetingly over the festive period and then never see the light of day again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Christmas 2019 we nailed it. So many presents are being used very regularly or even daily. I separated the wheat from the chaff on their Christmas lists and came up with some ideas they hadn’t even thought of but love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the most successful Christmas presents from last year…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Successful Christmas presents for my 11-year-old daughter <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The make-up case <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Sofia is only allowed to wear discreet make-up<\/a> on special occasions. Nonetheless she has mountains of the stuff. It was no surprise then that she asked for a make-up storage box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this lovely rose gold<\/a> one from Beautify<\/a> (\u00a329.99). It’s almost like a toolbox – albeit a very pretty one – and has three tiers, umpteen compartments and loads of room. It folds away nicely and is a feature in her room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
