Paris Hilton will ring in the New Year in style - her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt has showered her with custom-made diamond jewelry.

The socialite spent the festive season surrounded by family and friends in Los Angeles after ditching her traditional plans for a Christmas vacation.

And she was stunned when Reinhardt joined her at home with a horde of lavish gifts - including sparkling gems from exclusive boutique The 14 Karats in Berkeley, California.

Writing on her personal Twitter.com page, excited Hilton tells fans: "At home opening Christmas presents from my man. SO happy! He really spoiled me this year and gave me so many incredible presents! : All the jewelry he bought me from 14 Karats Jewelry Store is so stunning! It's true diamonds are a girl's best friend. I am speechless."
