Christmas gift ideas: $200 and below

Christmas is supposed to be a time of happiness and joy, however many of us associate this holiday period with stress and chaotic shopping centres.

If you know what to buy, you can start early, and even online - however, a lot of people just don't know where to start. Well, that's where I jump in!

As your Christmas genie I have come up with 2 items for each price point from $10 - $200 which range from beauty, accessories, home, and beachware.

So start taking notes, because your Christmas list is about to get a whole lot easier!

$200 and under
Kicking off our highest price point with two ultimate beauty products.

The first, a Napoleon Perdis contour kit (which I can confirm from personal experience - is AMAZING). Featuring a mirrored compact, highlighter and contour duo, with a brush for each. This duo will lift and brighten, as well as slim and sculpt your face. RRP $149.

Next, the exclusive MAC Stroke of Midnight lip and cheek bag (in coral). This pack includes a lipstick, lipglass, powdered blush, mirror, brush - all in its very own make-up bag. RRP $125. HUGE value (especially when compared to the Napoleon contour kit).

$100 and under
Being practical never looked this good.

For years we have been buying Mimco baby bags, and using them as an overnight bag (yes, slugging baby matts, milk bottle compartments and all). Finally, Mimco have listened to our demands, and have created some patterned over night bags. Cue 'The Weekender' for only $99.95.

Down under, we are lucky enough to celebrate Christmas in the sun! Well now not only can we use this amazing hat as a resourceful way of finding shade, but we can look like our favourite celeb all at the same time. Seen on Lara Bingle, Nadia Fairfax and SFB, you too can rock this look for only $99.

The next pair will have you seeing stars.

The best accessory on a female, is said to be their smile. But what is a smile without a gorgeous shiny lip? This MAC pack gives you a Creme D'Nude lipstick, Boldly Bare lip pencil and a Softly Lip lipglass - all in nude tones, to help you create a kissable lip. The pack which includes a make-up bag is available for $89.

And what is the perfect lip, without the perfect bling accessory. Grace and Scarper's silver star, on a fine chain (as seen on Rozalia Russian) is back-in-stock for $89.
