Whether you’re shopping for the friend that has everything, the brother who’s impossible to buy for, or the hard-to-impress mother-in-law, Westfield Carousel’s comprehensive Christmas gift guide has the perfect presents to suit everyone this holiday season. Now that’s a Christmas miracle.
For the self-care queen (or king)
We all deserve a little pampering now and then, and wellness gifts show the person you’re gifting that you care about their health and happiness. A new yoga mat, book, sleep mask, mindful journal or aromatherapy will prioritise their wellbeing. Alternatively, for those with a penchant for the finer things, summer-ready skincare, delicate jewellery, silky sleepwear or a fresh fragrance will add a touch of luxury to their everyday.
Shop all things beauty and wellness at MECCA, dusk, Myer, David Jones, Peter Alexander and Priceline.

For the tech-head
We all have that person in our life. You know, the one who relishes any opportunity to talk your ear off about their latest gadget. The key to impressing the techie in your life is finding something they never knew they needed… until now. At the top of our list this year is a sleep aid device, smart lights for neon-coloured dinner parties, Apple AirTags and a portable projector for at-home cinemas.
Shop the best of tech at JB Hi-Fi, David Jones, Myer, Target and Kmart.
For the intrepid explorer
Got a globetrotter in your life? We’ve got just the thing. If they’re an avid camper, they’ll likely have the essentials covered so a new gadget or items that bring home comforts on the go are welcomed additions, like a portable grill, picnicware, wireless speaker or coffee maker. For sun-seekers, new shades, a packable hat and poolside loungewear are the ultimate cure for cold-weather blues. Or, for those who prefer to travel in style, sleek luggage, mini perfume or a luxurious sleep set make every adventure feel first-class.
Shop adventure gear at Kathmandu, Robins Kitchen, DJI, Sunglass Hut and rebel.
For the house proud
They say home is where the heart is, and we’ve got plenty of interior indulgences sure to make them swoon. For those who have perfected the art of nesting, candy-coloured glassware, a new coffee table book, butter-soft bedding and scented candles bring new meaning to the notion of sanctuary. If they’ve got a green thumb, why not pick up a new pot for their plant babies? Alternatively, delicate trinkets, a vase for their market blooms and dinner party serve ware always go down a treat.
Shop home decor at Adairs, Bed Bath N’ Table, Dusk, Adore Home Living and Target.

For the conscious consumer
Gift sustainably this Christmas with products that put people and the planet first. Reusable cups, garments made from recycled materials, plant-based beauty and market bags are functional fail-safes. David Jones’ Mindfully Made initiative makes finding and shopping conscious brands easy. We’ve also rounded up a handful of sustainable Westfield stores in a previous blog here.
Shop green at Uniqlo, C+Co. The Artisan Collective, Lush, Bonds, The Body Shop and The Cumquat Tree.

For the fitness fanatic
You know the drill: sun’s out, guns out. For fitness gifts sure to impress, moisture-wicking activewear, fitness trackers and sweat-proof skincare and makeup are no-brainers. Meanwhile, when it comes to post-workout recovery, a massage gun and foam roller are serious game-changers. And since a well-rounded routine doesn’t stop at the gym, add in some enriching vitamins and supplements that support overall wellbeing, and they’re good to glow. (Plus, they make for a great stocking filler.)
Shop active gear at rebel, Lorna Jane, Cotton On Body, Foot Locker, JD Sports and Nike.
