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

Here are some gift ideas for a January birthday:

* Monica Vinader January birthstone chain necklace (£90)
* The White Company Borg ballet slippers (£40)

These gifts are suitable for someone born in January, as they incorporate the birthstone garnet. They also have a stylish and elegant touch to them, making them perfect for a birthday gift.

Alternatively, you could consider other gift ideas that don't necessarily tie in with the birthstone theme. Some options might include:

* A cozy throw blanket or a set of scented candles to keep them warm and snug during the winter months
* A book or magazine subscription that aligns with their interests
* A relaxing spa day or massage to help them unwind
* A personalized item, such as a monogrammed tote bag or a photo album, to make them feel special.

Ultimately, the best gift is one that shows you care and pay attention to their interests and preferences.
 
I'm thinking of getting a gift for my cousin's bday in Jan and I just saw these ideas online 🤔. Honestly, I don't really know her interests but I wanna get her something nice. A cozy throw blanket sounds like a good idea tho, it's always cold in Jan especially if you live far from the sea 😊. But what's with all these birthstone gifts? Can't we just get her something she'll actually use? 🤷‍♀️ I mean, a book or magazine subscription could be cool if you know what type of stuff she likes. And a relaxing spa day would be amazing, but that's kinda pricey 💸. At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts right? 🎁
 
I THINK GIFT-GIVING IN JANUARY IS SUCH A THOUGHTFUL THING TO DO!!! IT'S LIKE, YOU'RE SHOWING SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT THAT THEY'RE SPECIAL AND APPRECIATED 🎁. AND I LOVE THE IDEA OF NOT JUST FOCUSING ON BIRTHSTONES, BUT RATHER ON WHAT MAKES THE PERSON HAPPY OR RELAXED! A COZY THROW BLANKET OR SOME Scented CANDLES CAN REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S DAY 🧸. PERSONALIZED ITEMS ARE ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA TOO, I MEAN WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD PHOTO ALBUM?! 📚
 
January birthdays are so underrated lol 🤷‍♀️. I think it's really sweet that these brands have incorporated garnet into their designs, but honestly, I think a cozy throw blanket or scented candles would be way more appreciated 😊. There's something about snuggling up with a good book or a relaxing spa day that just screams self-care 🧖‍♀️. And let's be real, a personalized item is always a winner – who doesn't love feeling special? 💕 But what I really think is important is showing you care, regardless of the gift itself ❤️. It's the thought and effort that counts, not the price tag or trendy design 😊.
 
January birthdays are all about cozy vibes 🍵💤. I think it's really thoughtful of these brands to incorporate the birthstone garnet into their gifts, but let's be real, what really matters is that the gift comes from a place of love ❤️. A personalized item or an experience like a spa day would mean so much more than something just because it's January 🤗. And can we talk about how great it is to have a reason to get cozy and relax during the winter months? It's all about self-care and prioritizing those little moments of joy 😌.
 
I think it's really thoughtful of people to consider birthdays as an excuse to get gifts 🎁... but let me ask you, do we ever really think about what our friends actually want? I mean, I've got a friend who loves reading and always gets me books for my birthday, but honestly, sometimes it feels like they're just trying to be nice. What if they'd rather have something more practical, like a new laptop or a gift card to their fave store?

And don't even get me started on the whole "birthstone" thing 🤷‍♀️... I mean, garnet is lovely and all, but it's not exactly the most exciting birthstone. I'd much rather have a gift that shows someone you've been paying attention to what they like in life, you know? Like, if my friend loves hiking, get them a new backpack or something! That way, we can enjoy activities together instead of just sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting for the next birthday 🏞️
 
I think £90 is too much for a birthday gift 🤑, I mean, who needs that fancy chain necklace? On the other hand, £40 for ballet slippers is pretty reasonable, but are those really the most practical thing someone could want on their birthday? 🤔 And honestly, a cozy throw blanket or scented candles might be more appreciated if you get it from a sustainable brand or something 😊. I mean, who doesn't love a good book or magazine subscription, but aren't those more of a "everyday" gift than a special birthday one? 💡 But at the same time, a relaxing spa day is always a great idea, and personalized items can be so thoughtful... 🤷‍♀️ I guess it really depends on the person, right? 😐
 
January birthday, eh? 🎂 I think it's a great excuse to get someone some new stuff they've been eyeing. Those ballet slippers sound like a fab present - who doesn't love a good pair of shoes, right? 😄 But honestly, the most important thing is to show you're thinking about them and what makes them happy. Like, if they're into reading, getting them a new book or magazine subscription would be so thoughtful. It's not about the price tag or how flashy it is, just that it comes from the heart. 💖
 
OMG, i just got a bunch of friend birthdays this month 🤗🎉 and i'm totally lost on what to get them lol... like, my bestie loves reading so a book subscription would be amazeballs for her 💖! And for my other friend who's all about self-care, a spa day or scented candles would be super relaxing for them 😌. I was thinking of getting someone a cozy throw blanket too, bc it's perfect for winter vibes 🧶... and honestly, whatever gift i get is gonna be better than nothing cuz it shows i care 💕!
 
🎁 I think birthdays are super overrated in Jan 🤷‍♀️... just kidding! But seriously, I was looking at this article about gifts for people born in Jan and I thought it's kinda funny how it ties the gift ideas to the birthstone. Garnet's a pretty cool stone, but like, is it really that important? 😂 I mean, what matters most is the thought behind the gift, not the fact that it's got garnet or whatever. Give a person a good book or a relaxing experience and they'll be set! 📚💆‍♀️
 
🤔 January birthdays are so underrated! I think gifts that tie in with the birthstone garnet can be a bit overdone, you know? Like, I'm all for the romantic gesture, but sometimes it feels like the person is being given a gift just because of their birth month, not because they're actually into garnets. 🤷‍♀️

I'd much rather see some unique and thoughtful ideas that show someone cares about what they love. A cozy throw blanket or scented candles are always winners in my book! And honestly, who doesn't need a good massage after the holidays? 💆‍♀️ It's all about showing you're paying attention to their interests and not just trying to fit them into a gift box. That's what makes a gift truly special!
 
January birthdays r so underrated lol they get all the summer vibes 🌞🎉 but january's got its own chill vibe too 🥶❄️ i think a good birthday gift for someone born in jan is somethin cozy like a new pair of boots or a fuzzy beanie ☕️it's not about the birthstone, it's about showin you care 😊
 
January birthdays are so underrated 🤷‍♀️. I think it's lovely that these gifts incorporate garnet, but also, what about people who don't really vibe with sparkly stuff? Like, my friend's birthday is in January and she's more of a minimalist type 😐. She'd totally appreciate a good book or a cozy throw blanket over some fancy schmancy necklace. And, honestly, I think the best gift is one that's thoughtful and shows you've been paying attention to their interests. Like, if they're super into reading, get them a new release from their favorite author 📚. It's all about showing you care, not just throwing some money at them 🎁.
 
I'm loving this time of year for birthdays! You know what's even better? Giving gifts that are thoughtful and not just about the birthstone 🤗. I mean, don't get me wrong, a pretty necklace is always a winner, but it's the thought behind it that really matters.

I think what people need on their birthday (or any day) is someone who cares enough to pay attention to their interests and hobbies. Like, if they're into reading, get them a book or magazine subscription! If they love coziness, grab 'em a throw blanket and some scented candles 😊. It's the little things that count, you know?

And let's not forget about experiences, like a spa day or massage. That's something to cherish and remember for a long time 💆‍♀️. Personalized items are nice too, but it's not just about the gift itself, it's about showing you're thinking of them.

I'm all about that self-care life right now 🧖‍♀️. What do you guys think? What makes a great birthday gift in your book?
 
Ugh, can't believe we're already talking about January birthdays 🙄... like what even is the deal with birthstones? Garnet's just a gemstone, right? And £90 for a necklace? That's steep! 😳 I mean, if you want to get someone a gift that actually matters, why not just spring for something nice? Like, a cozy throw blanket or scented candles would be way more appreciated. And who cares about the birthstone theme? It's just an excuse to spend money on some overpriced jewelry 💸. A personalized tote bag or photo album sounds like a much better idea... but only if you know the person well enough to put thought into it 🤔.
 
I think gifts are way more meaningful if they're not just about the birthstone thingy... I mean, can't we just get something 'cause we want to? Like a super comfy pair of slippers or a new book by their fave author? That's what matters most, right? Plus, you could always throw in some fun winter activities like ice skating or hot chocolate nights... that way the gift is more about the experience than the actual present 🍵😊
 
January birthdays are a great excuse for some thoughtful gift-giving 🎁! I think incorporating the birthstone garnet into a piece of jewelry, like a chain necklace or elegant ballet slippers, is a lovely touch - it's almost as if you're paying homage to their unique birth month. On the other hand, gifts that don't necessarily tie in with the birthstone theme can be just as appreciated, especially if they align with the person's interests or hobbies. A cozy throw blanket or scented candles can provide some much-needed warmth and relaxation during the colder winter months ❄️. Ultimately, what matters most is the thought and effort put into selecting a gift that shows you care about the birthday person...
 
January birthdays are so underrated 🤔 I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to cozy up with a warm cuppa and some quality time indoors? Anyway, I'm not a fan of those birthstone gifts, feels too forced or like you're trying too hard to be clever 💎. Give me something that shows you've actually been paying attention to the birthday person's interests! Like, if they're super into reading, a new book by their fave author is always gonna hit the spot 📚. And have you considered gifting experiences over physical gifts? A relaxing spa day or a fun cooking class could be so much more memorable than some random piece of jewelry 💅🏼.
 
omg i'm so done with january being the most underrated month 🤷‍♀️ birthday vibes rn and honestly speaking if u r bdaying in jan u deserve some serious luxury 💁‍♀️ i mean a monica vinader chain necklace for £90 is a bit much even 4 me lol but thot that white company borg ballet slipper tho (£40) is SO chic 🐰👠 and u can probs rock them w/ any occasion 👗 meanwhile cozy throw blankets & scented candles r more like, chill vibes rn 🧸💆‍♀️ but hey if u know someone who loves that stuff go 4 it 💕
 
January birthday? Yeah thats when the flu season kicks in 🤢 got a mate who's from Jan birth and every year they get sick for like a month 💉 it's pretty rough. anyway, gifts r cool but what about the economy? inflation's through the roof right now ⚡️ people are struggling to make ends meet so maybe consider givin somethin more practical than just a fancy necklace or ballet slippers 💸
