A cross-training shoe that caters to a range of movements (from heavy lifts to running), we love the plush collar that keeps the foot locked down and the responsive foam in the forefoot for comfort while you’re running and jumping.

Daily brain teasers? Morning sudoku? Sure, they work your cranium but are they as fun as solving mysteries day in and day out? We think not. Described as an ‘utterly addictive’ murderous puzzle book for armchair detectives everywhere, this challenges you to find whodunnit, how, where and why. And there are 100 devilishly devious puzzles to keep her busy.

The Cleaner by Mary Watson

This book was released just this month (so she probably hasn’t bought it yet) and is a total page-turner. Esmie, a cleaner, is not here to clean the dirt in an exclusive gated community, she’s here to find dirt. And she’ll use that dirt, those secrets, as weapons against her employers to get her revenge for taking someone she loved dearly from her.

Striking the balance between being glamorous and practical, this black leather bag has a padded laptop pocket, interior organisation for cables, keys etc. (aka no more messy handbags) and adjustable straps for a comfortable fit.

FOM Zollie Leather Bag In Pecan

Yes, this is the perfect work and daily handbag thanks to the simple, understated design. We love the removable inner canvas that ensures she can always have a clean handbag (because sometimes things leak or spill).

Fenn. Laptop Bag In Oatmeal

Made from a buttery soft faux leather, this compact laptop bag has three compartments and provides a protective structure that fits a 15″ laptop. The removable strap means it can be worn over the shoulder or held like a briefcase.

Terbodore Ultimate Flavour Combo

Terbodore’s unrivalled beans are paired with a variety of flavours for a gourmet cuppa that’ll please even the most discerning coffee snob. Our favourites: Dutch Chocolate, which ramps up the cocoa for a bitter-free, no-milk-required start to the day, and Italian Hazelnut, which captures the essence of Nutella in coffee form.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop

Pod coffees have come a long way from the lukewarm diluted swill of yesteryear. This is one of the best pop-it and sip-it options, accommodating up to six different cup sizes and ready to brew up any of the company’s extensive range of pods in just a minute. Automatic blend recognition tweaks brewing parameters based on your chosen pod so you’re maximising flavour.

AeroPress Coffee Maker

Making coffee on the go—whether she’s stuck in the office or dragged you along on a monumental hike—rarely results in a good cuppa. The AeroPress bucks the trend, serving up something worthy of the occasion. Simply drop in a small paper filter, load it up with your favourite grounds and let air pressure turn water and beans into magic.

Codenames

It’s a game of deduction where you work with your teammate to make contact with all your agents first. “Spymasters” give one-word clues that can point to many different words on the board and their teammates must guess those of the right colour while avoiding those belonging to the opposing team. It’s easy to learn, but has multiple layers of strategy. Plus, it’ll help you work on your communication skills.

Azul

The game resemble a charming mosaic and your goal as a player is to draft coloured tiles from suppliers to your board. Each round, you score points based on how you’ve placed your tiles to decorate the palace. There are bonus points for pathing out specific patterns or completing sets. Just don’t waste supplies because you’ll take a knock to your final score. This one always gets rave reviews from players.

Carcassonne

The spirit of Catan is alive and well in this game, but the near-fanatical obsession with resources takes a backseat. Instead, you’ll draw tiles to complete the board and position your player pieces to take advantage of the terrain and rack up the points. No two games are the same, and games night won’t end in a feud over an unfair trade. A game night that doesn’t end with someone going to be sulking? We’re sold!

Asoka Alignment Performance Mat

Whether she’s got yoga classes locked in on her weekly schedule or is looking to carve out a peaceful space at home, this heavy-duty yoga mat does more than just look the part. Alignment line guides on the surface help give direction and make it easier to orientate during stretches. It also sports a 100% natural tree rubber base for extra cushioning and minimal slipping.

Aura Clarity Ultrasonic Diffuser

Diffusers break down essential oils into tiny micromolecules and project them around the room for a calming scent. There’s no heat involved, just a series of vibrations that will activate the powerful aroma of these oils. Everything from lavender and bergamot to peppermint and clary sage have been shown to help knock back stress (AKA exactly what she needs to find her moment of zen).

The Body Shop Sleep Relaxing Scented Candle

Candles are a sure-fire hit, and this one from The Body Shop isn’t all flame and no game. Filled to the wick with aromatic lavender, vetiver and sweet vanilla fragrance, it’s a 100% natural sleep aid that’ll help her wind down after even the most hectic day. On first use, just make sure you burn until the entire surface of the wax has melted (it’ll usually take around three hours).

Dermalogica Facial

There are so many Dermalogica stores scattered around South Africa and they offer some truly great facials. We love the Luminfusion facial as it supercharges skin smoothness and luminosity to reduce the appearance of ageing, with no downtime.

Sorbet Nail Appointment

Sometimes finding the time to book the appointment is half the problem. So taking care of that problem will go a long way. We recommend the “Power” treatment which includes a soak, file, buff, paint, exfoliation and massage. Call a Sorbet close to you and book.

Couples Spa Day At Mount Nelson

Plus, it comes “gift-wrapped” in some of the most eye-pleasing bottles you’ll find in any liquor cabinet.

Too many recipes and not enough time. This book distills (get it?) everything down to the need-to-know classic cocktails that will be sippable until the end of time. Easy to page through and featuring 150 delicious, tried-and-tested mixers, every recipe is designed to inspire and ensure that her mixology aspirations have the proof to back them up.

Vacu Vin Basic Cocktail Set

The best part of making cocktails? You need minimal kit, which means you can splurge on a few high-quality accessories and she’ll be set to whip up any drink she can think of. This set includes a steel shaker with built-in strainer, a muddler and a jigger. While it’s the ultimate starter kit, it’s something even a veteran mixologist will appreciate.
