Today I bring you another gift guide. This time in the form of a Birthday Gift Guide for females. I have previously done guides for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mothers & Fathers day. So let's get straight into it.

*Items marked with a star were gifted items for the purpose of this post. All opinions are, of course, my own.
First things first, the card! Why not go for something a little bit different and pick a chocolate card from Thortful? They also do cake cards if chocolate is not your recipient's thing. I opted with the salted caramel chocolate (my fave!). They have several other flavours including sea salt, orange, dark and honeycomb so plenty of choices. They have numerous designs too so you can totally pick the perfect personality.

 What female doesn't love receiving a bunch of flowers? Why don't you get them a birthstone bouquet from Appleyard Flowers? They are beautiful big bouquets with gorgeous flowers that would make a great gift. Pictured here is the Peridot Birthstone bouquet for August (My Birthday Month) but check out the website for the other Birthstones and they also do many other types of bouquets.

This mirror from Light Mirrors could be the perfect option for a make-up lover. It is portable, lights up with 2 colour options, can be charged using a USB cable and comes in a plush case for protection plus it has a stand so can be placed anywhere without having to hold it.

 This is personally recommended by my mum! St. Moriz is one of her favourite brands for fake tan so why not gift this set which includes Express Tanning Mousse and the Gradual Tanning Mousse? or check out what other items they have available in their tan collection.

  How cool do these necklaces from Ethiqana look? They are the most unique jewellery pieces I own and they are definitely statement pieces. They are made from Handwoven Khunn Fabric which you can find more about HERE. If you are looking for an ethical sustainable brand then this is definitely the right place to look.

Perfect White 2 in 1 Teeth Whitening Kit from Beverly Hills Formula includes whitening strips and a pen. You should use the strips for 30 minutes twice a day for whiter teeth and you can also use the pen for touchups on the go. Just pop in your bag and you are good to go.

Havaianas are the perfect gift for anyone who goes on holiday a lot. There are several styles and colours to choose from as well as collections such as Game Of Thrones and Harry Potter if that's their thing! The ones I have in the pic above are the 'You Metallic' and the 'Slim Crystal Glamour'

Secrets Projects are a company who create items that can be transformed into other things. They have dresses, bags, pillows and more. Their project inspires women as each item is made by women in India who may not have the same opportunities as we do. They are supported by training and development and they help them to become financially independent. You can find out more about their story HERE. I picked a Secret Sari dress which was created by Molly's Sewing Unit and has this lovely bird print featured.

Savage Vines are a wine subscription company where you can have a monthly delivery of wine. You can either pick a 2, 3 or 6 bottle subscription and you can choose to have it for 3, 6 or 12 months. You also have the option which colour wines you want from Red or White and each of the wines is handpicked from independent family-run vineyards. Each box comes with a fact book about each wine so you can get to know more about them so this would definitely make a great gift for any wine lover.

If wine is not their thing, then why not get them a bottle of passion fruit martini cocktail mixer from Tipplesworth so they can create their own cocktails? Just add Vodka and you are on to a winner.  They also do other cocktail mixers so you should definitely check them out.

How about this mirror from Gift Pup? Its frame is this gorgeous copper colour and comes in a hexagon shape. You can personalise the text on the mirror to say what you like so you can give a little message to the recipient. I always love personalised gifts as it feels more thoughtful and that's exactly what Gift Pup do. You can check out their Personalised Birthday Gifts to see what else they have to offer.

 And last but certainly not least is this Pink Grapefruit Rock Rose Gin from Dunnet Bay Distillers. The gin tastes lovely and the bottle design is very eye-catching. They have other gins available so definitely have a look on the website if you feel this would make a great gift. I gave this to my mum and she loved it!
