Christmas is the time of year for giving, but getting caught up in finding everyone the perfect gift can be stressful. For example, trying to figure out if you have the right size pyjamas for the little ones, choosing a handbag for your sister that she doesn’t have already, and picking the perfect aftershave for your Dad can be overwhelming.
After everyone’s gifts have been purchased and wrapped and you eagerly wait for your recipients to open them on the 25th, you may wonder what waits under the tree for you. Well, we’re here to tell you that you don’t need to wait until Christmas for your presents and that treating yourself during December is completely underrated. So, while you may want to wait until the big day to receive gifts, there’s no harm in buying an extra present this year and keeping it all to yourself!
So, here are a few of our top picks for treating yourself this Christmas.
The Best Watches to Buy For Yourself
A watch is one of the top Christmas gifts and is always found on gift guides and inspiration lists around this time of year, and there are plenty of reasons why. Timepieces are sentimental, classic, and (depending on your chosen brand) come with a wide range of innovative features perfect for various uses. Sound tempting? While a watch remains an ideal gift, they’re also a great ‘treat yourself’ present, so here are our top picks for ladies and gents looking to splash out on themselves this December.
Ladies Watches
A Cartier timepiece is the epitome of glamour, luxury, and watchmaking excellence, which is why it is one of the most sought-after brands for women. This piece is the Panthere de Cartier Small Watch in stunning steel and gold case and bracelet, making it suitable to wear with any accompanying jewellery. Born in the 80s, the Panthere de Cartier is an iconic timepiece with a glamorous history that any woman would be thrilled to adorn. You can get your hands on this stunning piece for £11,000 here at Banks Lyon.
