Jess Cartner-Morley's January style essentials: from posh slippers to French-Girl hairpins

I mean, I get why garnet is the birthstone for January, but £90 for a necklace feels like a bit of a stretch, especially if they're not really into flashy jewelry . And have you seen those ballet slippers? They look so... basic . Still, a cozy throw blanket or a scented candle set could be a great idea if it's something the birthday person would actually use and enjoy. I also love the idea of a personalized item, but monogrammed tote bags might not be everyone's cup of tea . At the end of the day, it's all about showing you care and paying attention to their interests – just don't expect me to break the bank with some overpriced birthday gift

January birthdays are so underrated! I mean, we're always celebrating Christmas and New Year's, but there's something cozy about January too. Garnet jewelry is really pretty btw, I've been eyeing some necklaces from that Monica Vinader brand... But seriously, a throw blanket or scented candles would be amazing for someone who loves to relax at home. I'm all for personalized gifts too - there's something special about getting something customized just for you . What do people usually get for birthdays in Jan? Any good ideas?!

January birthday vibes ! I'm loving those garnet-infused gifts – Monica Vinader's chain necklace is so sleek & stylish . But let's be real, who doesn't love a good cozy throw blanket or scented candles to snuggle up with? It's all about showing you care and pay attention to their faves . A personalized item, like a monogrammed tote bag, is also super thoughtful – it's like, "Hey, I'm thinking of you!"

I'm thinking of getting a gift for my sister's birthday in January... I mean, who doesn't love garnet, right? But seriously, sometimes it feels like there are so many options out there, it can be overwhelming. I've seen some people get really into book clubs or something, and others just want to relax with some candles and a cozy blanket. Like, what's the best way to figure out what someone wants for their birthday?

I think gifts that show you pay attention to their interests are the best, though. My sister loves reading, so a new book would be amazing. But at the same time, it's hard to know what they'll actually like. Do you guys have any tips for gift-giving?
