Christmas is fast approaching which means we're all (hopefully) hard at work on our gift lists.

Some people find present shopping fun, but most find the pressure of picking the right thing stressful.

To take some of the panic out of it, we've carefully curated a list for all the women in your life to make sure that no one ends up disappointed on Christmas morning.

Find her a new signature scent?

There's no better time to reinvent yourself than heading into a new year and there's no better way to do it than with a brand new scent!

?Perfume shopping can be overwhelming, meaning that people often give up and settle for the first "fine" scent they find. Which means, perfume is the perfect gift.

We know, it can be tiresome shopping for a perfume for a friend or family member, so rather than sending you to the perfume hours to scout for hours, we recommend just picking up a bottle of Iconic for Women Eau de Parfum by Guess.

This scent basically radiates confidence and elegance, with a unique blend of pink pepper, orange blossom and amber, making it the perfect scent for any woman in your life.

Plus, it comes in a stylish pink bottle so it? looks fabulous out on display!

Make the most out of a household luxury?

We're begging you, please do not buy the women in your life a candle this Christmas unless it has been specifically requested.

Instead, get them something to make the most out of the millions of candles already scattered throughout the house.

Candle warmer lamps are a genius invention, not only making candles last longer and smell better, but they also prevent one of the most common causes of household fires จC forgetting to blow candles out.

Basically, these lamps work by using a heating bulb to evenly melt the wax and release the fragrance with no open flames, preventing candle tunnelling. Many also have ?an adjustable dial to customise the fragrance intensity.

They come in all kinds of different designs so you can pick one out that suits her home, and you can find them for as $40!?

Give the gift of at-home luxury

?Who doesn't want a touch of luxury from the comfort of their own couch?

And what better way to do that than an at-home LED face mask?

Despite their slightly (terrifying) robotic look, these gadgets literally fly off shelves, with many popular brands often out of stock as Aussies wait patiently for the next drop.

By using specific wavelengths to trigger biochemical reactions in the skin, LED face masks are often used to target different skin concerns using different coloured lights.

Some of the most popular brands include Omnilux, Dr Dennis Goss and Dr Naomi. But proceed with caution, these gadgets come with a hefty price tag. ?

Buy her jewellery, but do it right

We know, it's typical, but hear us out.

Jewellery can be the perfect gift because it's often something we don't think to buy for ourselves, since it's not a necessity.

But if you are going to buy her jewellery, there are a few things you need to know.

The most essential question you need to ask is what metal she wears! (Getty)

First of all, you need to find out what metal she wears จC Gold? Silver? Rose gold? White gold?

This is arguably the most important step, and if she's brave enough to mix metals. lucky you.

You also need to find out if she prefers fine jewellery, or chunky jewellery, this will define the purchase that you end up making.

And above all else, please do not buy her a heart shaped locket unless she has specifically asked for it!?

Show her that you've been paying attention

If you really want to show you care, this is the way to go.

This gift really depends on the individual person but think of milestone moments in her life or moments you've shared together that she cherishes.

One of the best gifts you can receive is something that not only immortalises the moments that matter most, but also something that shows you pay attention.

Give her a gift she'll never get herself?

Obviously this is only if she's a big reader, but with books regaining their popularity over the last few years, there's a high chance she could be.

?Now when we say books, we don't mean just any old paperback you picked off the shelf that you thought she might like.

Limited edition novels are a fantastic gift that people rarely ever buy for themselves. (Getty)

Rather what we're suggesting is a stunning, limited edition of a novel or series you know she loves.

Think something that will look fabulous front and centre of the bookshelf, maybe even a hardcover with sprayed edges.

Even the biggest of book lovers rarely invest in a special limited edition, so these make the perfect thoughtful gift. ?

Gift a personalised pamper day

Finally, our last (and possibly best) idea is to simply pamper her.

We're not talking a new bath robe and slippers จC please don't buy her that จC we're talking an actual, professional pamper session.

For this to work you have to make sure you do your research, don't just buy her a gift voucher to any-old spa.

Google is your friend here, look up the best spas in your area and make sure that they have the kind of treatment she'd enjoy. Make sure it's personalised, otherwise a spa voucher can be seen as a cop-out.?
