Mugs from Game of Thrones

Stylishly celebrate the New Year holidays, celebrate the Red Wedding or just brighten up the time for revising the seven seasons of the "Game of Thrones" (every time an important character dies on the screen, take a sip of pomegranate juice) with glasses, mugs and wine glasses decorated with the main emblems factions of the saga - the houses of the Lannisters, Starkov, Greyjoev and Targaryen.

Wonder Woman boots

What is best for ugly christmas sweaters? Of course, warm knitted boots with snowflakes and the emblem of the main superheroine of this summer. We recommend wearing them, however, at home: it would be a shame to spoil such a design with winter slush.

Christmas toys and decorations

Star on the Christmas tree Leroy Merlin

A gift for "Secret Santa", which can be bought at least at the last minute - and at a ridiculous price. Perhaps your relatives still cherish the red star left over from the Soviet era, but change can be beneficial.

68 rub.

Wreath "Red Cube"

Beautiful wreaths, as a rule, are expensive (even if we are talking about artificial eucalyptus), but if you try, you can find a nice option for a reasonable price. For a bigger holiday feeling, spray it with artificial snow from a spray.

833 rub.

Pear Michael Aram

If you are ready to buy a luxury toy as a gift, let it be a stainless steel golden pear. Its author Michael Aram loves natural motifs - so among other works of his authorship one can find, for example, an apple, a lemon and a pomegranate.

Mug "Get up the graph"

The project "Naive? Very" helps "special artists" - people with special needs who are engaged in creative studios. The project site and the store in the Moscow design center Artplay sell originals of some works, as well as T-shirts, dishes, badges and magnets with touching drawings and inscriptions. Here, for example, the mug "Get up the graph", from which it will be pleasant to drink yourself or bring coffee to bed in a good person.

Lipstick MAC Viva GlaM

Since 1994, MAC has annually released new lipsticks and lip glosses Viva Glam - all proceeds from sales of this line are sent to the AIDS fund, and new issues represent outstanding women (the first brand ambassador was Ru Paul, who generally refuses any gender affiliation ). This shade is called "bright fuchsia": like pearl-bronze, it bears the name of Taraji Henson, an actress who played a NASA employee in Hidden Figures. Other lipsticks from the Viva Glam line can be found here.

IKEA toys for children's drawings

We do not hide our love for toys from IKEA in children's drawings - they are wonderful in themselves, but it’s especially nice that the Swedish company donates one euro from the sale of each spider or funny blue bird to educational projects for children in different countries of the world. This year the collection includes a toucan (eight-year-old Sofia from Russia painted it), a purple monster, a fox, a rainbow cloud, a unicorn dachshund, an owl, a spider, a kingfisher, a lion and a hippopotamus-crocodile - there are also miniature versions, you can buy them in sets and give away to friends.

For sports fans

Sconce Victoria Sport Angel Max

Breasts of any size need reliable support during workouts, and sports bras need to be changed regularly: they gradually stretch and the quality of support decreases. Due to high-tech fabrics, bras even for large breasts gradually become thinner and lighter. This bra of the sports line Victoria's Secret provides maximum support, but at the same time it weighs almost nothing - and it also has a beautiful perforation on the back.

€53

Workout diary Fitlosophy

One more thing to improve your own discipline: you can record goals for the training cycle, current parameters such as weight or volume and power indicators. We do not support the race for the "perfect" body, but when training is fun, it's nice to track your progress in terms of strength or endurance. In the end, in the line of Reward ("Reward"), you can enter any pleasant thing and reward yourself with them at least for one workout per week.

Silicone Cosmetic Containers

While the device, designed to replace the beautician, is in development, the carrying of cosmetics to the gym can still be simplified. Soft silicone jars are sealed, allow you to use everything to the last drop and look nice. If you are afraid to forget which tool in which - make notes on the covers with a marker.

For "Secret Santa"

Invisibobble hair ties

Invisibobble elastic springs are probably one of the best inventions for hair, such relatives of croxes: they are often criticized for being too relaxed, but this does not bother the fans. Original gum does not get tangled in the hair, securely fix hair and do not stretch for a long time. If you buy as a gift, take beautiful packages with unicorns or models of luxurious flowers - gold or silver.

from 240 rubles

Sponge Kiko Milano

Nice and surprisingly sensible sponge for blush and highlighter: it’s not very comfortable to apply tone, but everything else is quite. It is tighter and tougher than a beauty blender, so it doesn’t absorb the creamy textures too greedily, and if the bestowed person doesn’t adapt this trick for regular use, he can simply decorate the dressing table. For those who quietly carry Mark light sponges, there is a version in the form of a snowman.

Soap cards Lush

An optional luxury that you cannot buy for yourself, but it’s nice to get such a souvenir. Soap paper is a thin piece of flavored soap, which is enough for one use. If you are looking for practical value - it is convenient to put several such cards in your pocket or suitcase backpack. And if it is still an aesthetic, then there is nothing to doubt. They look stylish, and still smell the best perfumes Lush, among which is Karma and Dirty.

For beauty geeks

Biodegradable Eco Glitter Fun Glitter

While scientists are sounding the alarm and demanding to ban glitter, the English brand Eco Glitter Fun makes eco-friendly glitter out of cellulose film. They shine no worse than those from Leonardo, but they completely decompose and satisfy in this respect the requirements of American and European legislation. The reasonable question is whether glitter disintegrates right in the can - no, only in the soil where there are microorganisms. Finally, you can wear it on your face (you wouldn’t be advised to see it, the mark is also silent on this occasion), and the choice of colors pleasantly surprises - no discount on the sacredness of the material.

from £ 3.50

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Super Mario Eyelash Tongs

For his sake, you can forgive the games "Super Mario" humiliating trails "a virgin in trouble." The famous curler Shu Uemura and without a keyring star is good, but with it more elegant. The length of the working surface of these forceps and its bend are convenient for all eyes, except for very small ones (they are suitable for a mini-curler). Actually, because of this, they get every year in the lists of the best cosmetics. As with any curler, it is possible to curl eyelashes not only at the roots, but in the middle of the length and at the tips. Two or three spring movement on each plot - and you forget why you need spinning carcasses.

Highlighter NARS Overexposed Glow Highlighter

Francois Nars does not pursue mad profit and recognition of millions. Therefore, it cooperates with those to whom the soul lies: the melancholic photographer Sarah Moon, Vogue's favorite Stephen Klein, and now with the heirs of Man Ray. It is difficult to describe the influence of the artist in one sentence, but let it be so: this is one of the main people for the visual art of the 20th century. In the NARS collection, Man Ray wasn’t without mentioning his muse and colleague Lee Miller: her lips floating on a golden highlighter. The object is truly collectible and will last for years: in dry textures, bacteria do not start and they live long.

Cheap jewelry and jewelry

Mango

Like any decent mass market, Mango follows all the trends of the world of costume jewelry: there are laconic huge earrings with smooth curves, and minimalistic pendants, and rhinestone chokers in a set of several pieces, and much more. Our choice fell on large earrings with plastic, imitating a "horn", and complex intricate details. Particularly pleased that they are already sold at a substantial discount.

799 rub.

AVGVST

Minimalistic signets are the most popular trend among jewelery. Signs from Natalya Bryantseva from Yekaterinburg can be ordered with stones: mother-of-pearl, tiger's eye or malachite.

B.S

In the Moscow shop Parcel you can find comfortable and modern clothes - a pleasant base of soothing colors. Jewelry is not the main direction of the store, but here they are, too, continuing the course of brevity and minimalism. Korean B.S. earrings made from hypoallergenic steel perfectly complement the look of palazzo trousers and cashmere sweaters. Parcel has no online store yet, but you can order your favorite item or jewelry by writing to their instagram.

Gentle underwear

Löv

LÖV is a modern brand that produces minimalist underwear and refuses to retouch it too much. The brand was founded by designer Mike Lüdenbach, who now lives in Barcelona and struggles with outdated concepts like the “beach body”. If you or your girlfriend like simple cotton underwear with a difficult background, it is better not to find a gift.

$76

Pansy

The assortment of the brand with the beautiful name "Violet" there are soft bodices and underpants of natural shades. Pansy, founded by two friends from San Francisco, is notable for its attitude to business: ethics of production is important for creators (how organic cotton is grown, told on the official website), and shooting a brand can be viewed for hours. A gift to those whose principles do not allow to buy underwear in the nearest shopping center.

$42

Botanica Workshop

A distinctive feature of the young brand Botanica Workshop is a small decorative button on bras and shorts. We liked this cotton bodice with a contrasting strip: in addition to the egg there is dark blue, white, black, pink and other colors. Despite the impressive size range, support from such a top is weak, so if you are used to bones, this option is not for you. The brand is based in Los Angeles and produces cotton, organic silk or recycled nylon underwear, using local production.
