The "This Christmas Gift Guide" article series is a deeply personal project. Since turning my passion into a business, I have met a lot of extremely talented, kind people who approach their work with impeccable ethics, deep passion, and respect for the environment and humanity.
These articles are dedicated to them—and to you—in appreciation for your support of my blog and Instagram. These are not part of any paid collaboration, but that makes no difference. I follow the same ethics regardless of whether an article is paid or not.
I do not promote consumerism, especially around a holiday that I hold sacred for the emotions, joy, and sense of belonging we all seek.
So, I encourage you to buy selectively and choose only the highest quality, primarily from small brands and businesses. Give from the heart, and only to those to whom you truly feel called to give—something they need or that would make them happy.
Christmas is all about love, magic, community, meaningful giving, and helping others.
Below you will find the Christmas gift suggestions for the Jewellery and Beauty category.

MONOM gifts collection
MONOM was born in 2016 in Cluj-Napoca from the passion of the founder, Georgiana Ciceo, for minimalist jewelry, contemporary design, and geometry in all its forms.
The brand started as a small workshop where pieces were created by hand by the founder herself, emphasizing geometry, simplicity, and timeless elegance. From the beginning, the philosophy of the brand was based on the idea that jewelry should be both functional and aesthetic.
Over the years, MONOM has grown organically, becoming one of the most appreciated designer jewelry brands in Romania. MONOM collections are characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a modern, minimalist aesthetic. Each piece is made with attention to detail and quality materials such as silver, silver with gold, and gold, and the production process remains mostly artisanal.
