From last-minute shopping sprees to a digital detox - some of Australia’s most influential WAGs have revealed their Christmas plans.
On Christmas Eve “eve”, Nadia Bartel admitted she had been “so slack” on her Christmas shopping this year.
“And I actually have to do all of it over the next few days,” the Henne designer confessed, in a post to her 617,000 followers on Instagram, before introducing a partnership with department store David Jones.
Among Bartel’s luxe recommendations were a Jo Malone fragrance and candle gift box ($215), a $260 Tom Ford perfume, Lancome serum, and an Elizabeth Arden bag/makeup set.
“It’s a beautiful brand, I love their makeup, it’s so luxurious,” Nadia - who has one of Australia’s most-influential Instagram feeds - added, of the Tom Ford fragrance.
“And this one is my favourite scent. Whenever I’m wearing it, I always get lots of compliments.”
Nadia has two sons Henly, one, and Aston, four, with her ex, former Geelong star Jimmy Bartel.
Meantime, Rebecca Judd said she would embark on a digital detox over the holiday season.
“I’m looking forward to putting the phone away and clocking off this Christmas, though. It’s important to just be in the moment,” Judd told Stellar this month.

“Sometimes it can take a while to switch off. There are a couple of days where you pick up the phone and check it, and it’s just an automatic reaction. I always find once I’ve switched off during summer, it’s really hard to switch back on.”
The always-stylish Chadstone ambassador – who boasts 881,000 followers on Instagram – offered her tips for festive season dressing: “I think anything that can take you from day to night is a good choice”.
“But you’ve got to have back-up options. It’s all about being casual and relaxed. It’s not a nightclub, after all – it’s Christmas. Dress for comfort but class as well,” she added.
Judd – who has four children Oscar, Billie, and twins Darcy and Tom, with her husband, former Carlton captain Chris Judd – will be spending Christmas in the family’s new Brighton home, reportedly worth $7.3 million.
“This Christmas I’m looking forward to spending some good quality time with my family “We’ve moved into our house, so we are the hosts this year,” Judd said.
She said: “My mum is coming over, plus my sister, her husband and two children, and Chris’s family and grandparents, too. For our festive table, we usually have a few decorations, seafood and turkey, and I make a chocolate pav every year. It’s very basic.”
Judd recently posed for a shoot at Chadstone (she is the shopping centre’s ambassador), wearing a festive-themed Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress.
“It’s been such a busy year,” Judd continued, of 2019. “We worked really hard to get the house done in time, and so to have our family here to celebrate with us will be really special.”
Former AFL player turned Survivor reality star Shaun Hampson said he hand his fiance, Megan Gale, were planning a low-key Christmas this year.
“We’re probably just going to stay in Melbourne,” Hampson – one of the breakout stars of this year’s Survivor series – told News Corp.
“It’s usually just a small family thing with us,” he said (Hampson and Gale have young two kids, River and Rosie).
“As you do get bit older and have kids of your own, it’s all about the family,” Hampson added.
“I tell the fam, ‘don’t buy me anything, I don’t really need anything’. I focus more on the kids and make sure everybody has a great day.”
