Sometimes, Christmas shopping can feel as complex as the family tree of the Greek Gods, but we have untangled the divine web of deities to bring you our annual Christmas Gift Guide.
The golden gates have opened and the Goddesses of Olympia are here to guide you through the chaos.
APHRODITE - goddess of love, sex, and beauty
You are the original influencer – high maintenance and collecting followers in your pretty, foamy wake. Technically married, you never let that get in the way of a good time. You’re the goddess of love after all.
You may have attachment issues, but your hair is glossy, and your skin is glowing. Beauty IS a contest and girl it’s not your fault you woke up like this.
HESTIA - goddess of the hearth, home, and hospitality
Oh you’re an introvert, never mind. You keep the home fires burning; You invented WFH AND Netflix and Chill, for which we are all eternally grateful. Definitely a hoes before bros kinda friend and always at the ready with a chilled negroni where it’s needed.
You’re secretly thrilled when plans get cancelled because you get to kick off your Birks, slip your hair up into a scrunchie, and slide under that organic linen duvet for the night like you always wanted. Girls night in.
HERA - goddess of women, marriage, and childbirth
You’re a queen. You’re immaculate, which means you get to choose what everybody eats at the restaurant, every time. You have the best ideas for exacting revenge on exes and dull co-workers, and you have the best kind of wardrobe and haircut- expensive.
You sleep on your back because you are secretly vain, but you’ll also literally move heaven and earth to help a needy less powerful friend.
ARTEMIS - goddess of hunting, the wilderness and wild animals.
Always on the move is our Artemis. Chasing your dreams without a backwards glance at the adoring fans you left in your slipstream. We’re still here tagging along for the ride.
What you want, you get. You’re a fierce friend to have even if you are sometimes slightly terrifying. (you accidentally killed off your best friend). You dance with your eyes closed and you can party all night but you always go home alone.
You see beauty as a personality trait - that doesn’t mean you don’t fancy a snatched ponytail every now and then.
DEMETER - goddess of the harvest
Loves a group chat. The more the merrier is your Roman empire. Too much is never enough because you are a goddess of abundance and maximalism. That Croc could use just one more gibbet, IYO.
You’re the gal with the sourdough starter and fermented beetroot juice subscription and it shows – you are brimming with bouncy hair and strong white teeth.
You bring joy along like a pet chihuahua everywhere you go, except in winter when you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Nothing a little week in Bali can’t fix. Naturally.
ATHENA - goddess of wisdom, war, and the crafts
The power player in the room, actually any room, ever. Everything makes sense to you unless it's useless. You thrive on chaos because you’re the best person to fix it. Sometimes you even create drama if you’re a bit bored and need something to do.
You squeegee your shower after every use, your shampoo and conditioner always match, and you have your beauty routine down to a slick 15 minutes. Maybe minimal but definitely functional.
