Your Ultimate Gift Guide: This Year’s Top 12 Christmas Gifts
The holidays are here which means it’s time to start shopping. And while some of us are efficient shoppers, others just drive around aimlessly, pick up some fast food, head home, and call it a day. This is why we here at Beirut.com have decided to make your lives easier by compiling a list of must-have gifts for this holiday season!

2- Yun Scarf and Dil Dress by Nour Hage.
Lebanese designer Nour Hage has made a name for herself designing elegant, affordable, and modern pieces that stand out on the fashion scene. For this holiday season, get your beloved the unisex Yun scarf (available in three color schemes) that can quickly transform a drab outfit, or opt for the versatile Dil dress, perfect for any occasion and can be dressed up or down accordingly. Actually, just get both. You can get yours here.
3- Smartphone power-bank.
Relationships are all about knowing exactly where your lover is at all times – which is why their phones need to be charged. We kid, but this useful and handy gadget is perfect for your partner to keep their battery from running dry! You can get yours at Class Mobile Stores around the country.
4- Beard-care kit.
For the boyfriend who has still not recovered from No-Shave November, we recommend a beard-care kit. This would include a pair of high quality scissors and a comb for him to keep his mane in perfect condition. Toss in a bottle of beard oil to condition and tame his manly whiskers and you have yourself a cool gift. Put together a kit at the BHV department store where their many capable beauty assistants will help you.
