Disclaimer: My 2020 Christmas Gift Guide Part 1 contains a range of gifts, some of which may have been gifted, won or bought by me.
It also contains a FAB competition with 3 great prizes for one lucky person!!!!!
This year our Christmas celebrations are set to be far different than ever before. But, many will still be going ahead with their celebrations. Some have started their shopping, some might have finished (I hope you’ve made a list and checked it twice) and others will still be looking for gift inspiration with no clue where to start.
My latest gift guide had been created to give you a little inspiration as to what to consider gifting and as always has an amazing competition included too.
So let’s get started and take a look at the sort of fabulous gifts that you will want to be gifting this year.
Here you’ll find a mix of items to help you shop for the whole family.
Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 1
A Stunning Piece of Jewellery
Jewellery is a great gift to buy provided you know what the recipient would like. Make it that little bit more special and personalise it. Some jewellery can be engraved, sometimes you can go that bit extra and add in a birthstone for that extra touch. You’ll find all sorts of wonderful gift at Engravers Guild for both women and men from jewellery, diaries, watches, pens and even aftershaves and ladies fragrances. Each item can be personalised to give it that unique feel which is a really lovely touch.
I loved the Swarovski® Birthstone Disc Necklace in Rose Gold shown on their site. It’s such a cute piece of jewellery and makes a lovely gift. The necklace featured here is sterling silver coated with a rose gold plating. You can have the 15mm disc engraved and chose from different styles of writing which is a lovely touch. The addition of the birthstone helps give it a more personal feel. Alternatively, choose the stone colour you think they’d love most. The chain can be adjusted to 16 or 18 cm. This is such a pretty design and just the sort of gift to bring a smile to the recipients face when they open the luxury gift box.
An Amazing Gift Experience
As always Buyagift have wonderful gift options for us to choose from. Whether the giftee needs a relaxing spa day, loves to tantalise their taste buds with sublime new flavours or is into thrilling experiences these guys have you covered. You’ll always find great offers on the site and a massive number of options. If that wasn’t enough they’ve even branched out into gifts with food and drink hampers, personalised letterbox gifts now available on the site. You will find gifts for women, men, children and even families.
Craft Gift Sets
The kids will be over the moon with a fabulous arts and crafts gift set. Kids love to get hands on and this is perfect for that. Crafty You Crafty Me have a cute range of items from mosiac kits, felting kits, lampshade kits and also Christmas kits. They have the cutest little penguin felt kits on the site that look great and are guaranteed to be enjoyed by little ones. My favourite item was the Mirror Mosaic Kit, something I reckon isn’t just for kids! I do love these sorts of gifts as they help distract children from screen time which is what just about every parent wants these days.
This will not only keep them busy they also have a lovely item after that they can keep and use.
Some Festive Drinks
You can get your hands on some wonderful Christmassy drinks and equally lovely bottles. For all of your fabulously flavoured Christmas tipple needs make sure you visit il Gusto. They have the most adorable bottles and you can choose the flavour of the drink that comes in it. They’ve made it all nice and easy on the site as it can be quite overwhelming as you are really spoilt for choice. Pick your bottle shape, or pick the type of drink or simply choose something from their gift selection. They even have some exquisite hamper options that are guaranteed to impress. Alternatively, pick your own items to make your own hamper.
Below we see a Quadra Liqueur Set 100ml x 3 (Baked, Pink Vodka, Limoncino) and a cute gingerbread stocking filler with gingerbread liqueur.
Don’t they look wonderful!!!!
Don’t Forget Your Pets
So many of us have pets these days. They also like to get in on the festive fun. A treat for them is always nice and fun new toys can be great for them. It can be amusing to watch them play with their new toy(s) too. Roxi will be excited when she discovers her new dancing dot laser and kibble chase toys from Petsafe recommended by the site Pets Radar.
Natural Skincare Products
If you’re new to the blog you won’t have seen any of my posts about Handmade Naturals. This lovely family owned and run company has some wonderful products that I’ve not only reviewed but also run giveaways for in the past. Their products contain 100% naturally derived ingredients, they’re certified cruelty free and vegan society registered and let’s not forget, handmade. Many of us are looking to support smaller companies and this is certainly one that would appreciate all the sales they get far more than larger brands.
A Fun Game for all the Family
It’s not always easy to find fun ways to keep kids active. But, where others have failed Ultra Dash from Interplay has certainly ticked all the right boxes. This fun game is not just fun for kids, adults will enjoy it with the children and without. Fast-paced and suitable for indoor and outdoor use it’ll keep you moving even if it’s raining outside or you are stuck indoors. You’ll find more toy suggestions in my other Christmas gift guides.
Dinosaur Figures
Boys and girls will be delighted by the various toys available from Scleich. They have a growing range of options including a varied selection of dinosaurs. No longer considered a toy just for boys these are sure to delight little ones with their realistic appearance. Some of the figures also have moving parts for more realistic play. Doesn’t this guy look impressive!!!
A Popular Fragrance
Picking a fragrance can be exceptionally hard when you are buying for someone that you don’t live with. With so many options to choose from, I can say from personal experience it can be extremely overwhelming. My husband was a lifesaver when I was looking for something for my brother in laws as he knew what they both liked so we’ve been keeping them in stock for a few years now. Sometimes they’ll have a change but most times they simply want the same fragrance and who am I to judge. You’ll find that Million is a popular fragrance and there’s a male and female option.
A Lovely Diffuser
For anyone you know that is house proud and loves their home beautifully fragranced then a quality diffuser is just what they need. There are so many fragrances to choose from which is great. Simply think about what they like, something floral, fruity even the smell of fresh linen can be a great choice.
Summary
So there you have it. My Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 1. The suggestions should help you on your way to selecting the perfect gifts for loved ones. I’m sure you’ll find all the inspiration you need here but just in case I have more gift guides to follow.

I love the Swarovski Birthstone Necklace, it would make such a beautiful gift for my daughter’s birthday that’s coming up!
It’s such a lovely piece. Ideal as a gift.
There’s some great gift inspiration here! I’ve really been stuck for ideas for my sister but now have some ideas 🙂 Thanks!
Thanks for a really amazing giveaway I would really love to win.
Lots to see in here: the way you had taken a pic of the dinosaur toy in the garden was very inspirational.
Mirror mosaic kit is something I would keep for myself! I also loved the birthstone necklace although would love an option and not just rosegold.
They are lovely gifts. The necklace also comes in gold or silver so there are a few options there which is nice.
i love having diffusers in my home and have one in almost all the rooms! withh a dog cat, guinea pigs they are honestly so needed!
Ha, yes, I’m sure they are needed when you have pets.
Like the look of ultra dash and interested in games for the whole family, wonder if its suitable for my littlies though as they are quite young. I’ll research it a bit more online to see, lovely little list.
I love these gift ideas. The rose gold necklace is something I think I would have to buy for myself, Is that allowed??
The game looks like a lot of fun for the family as well x
I love a nice smelly reed diffuser. I also love the look of that craft kit, that would be something I would love to receive this Christmas.
Some great gifts here. I especially like the ones for pets, just perfect for us as we’ve just got a new puppy!
I love the look of the Il Gusto bottles, so unique and I love the variety of drinks.
They are really lovely. Such a good range of drinks and bottle shapes.
Some gorgeous ideas here! I especially love the natural beauty products and the look of the mosaic set – that would definitely be something I’d like to receive. Lovely giveaway too good luck to all entering!
Thanks Tayla. Those would make lovely gifts and would be well recieved.
The il gusto sounds like a great present. The gingerbread man is so cute, I’d love to taste him haha
It is the cutest thing isn’t it! They’ve some lovely products.
The mosaic mirror craft set looks great. My niece loves trying new things so I have bought a few different things for christmas for her to try out. Now I’ve seen this, I would definitely buy one.
Ooh I love the jewellery. It is so pretty! Some great gifts here. I think it may be a weirder Christmas but still great to exchange gifts x
I love that necklace and those drinks in funky bottles wold make such a lovely gift too. I have seen so many things that I would love to send as gifts this year.
I have always loved Swarovski and the jewellery from engravers guild looks so beautifully packaged
They have some lovely pieces!
Once again so many nice and unusual things though I am drawn to having a go at creating the mosaic mirror
That does look fantastic doesn’t it!!! They have some lovely items on the website.

I love the don’t forget your pets part.How could we ever forget those 🙂 These are all very special gifts indeed and it’s great getting to see what’s available as a gift guide.
Lol, tell me about it!!! I think some people’s pets are more pampered than some kids!!!
There are some really lovely ideas here for sure, I think that the necklace is so lovely.
It is really pretty!!! Perfect for a gift.
some fantastic items as always thankyou
Thanks so much Clair, I do try to find the best gift ideas I can.
Great ideas – I needed some tips on presents for family and friends and I think it’s all wrapped up kinda, now xx
Glad to have helped. Have fun shopping.
Some brilliant ideas here for Christmas and birthday gifts for those people who are hard to buy for
Lovely, would make for an amazing gift for anyone
Another really helpful list. Thank you. Our youngest would love the dinosaur and I would love the reed diffuser. It’s wonderful coming home to a fragrant house.
Lots of lovely gift ideas. I really like the idea of a craft kit as a gift, as it will be something to do over the xmas holidays, and I love the sound of the handmade naturals range.
Nice selection of gifts! My children love crafts and they would really enjoy the the Mirror Mosaic Kit I think
Beautiful lovely prizes
They sure are Veronica.
Ultra dash looks a great game to play and I like that its good for both indoor and outdoor!
It’s ideal to keep everyone active.
The Dinosaur Figures look great for my grandson Teddy!
They are really well made and look pretty fab!!!
Amazing giveaway- the prizes are great!
Thanks Manon. I think so too!
There’s excellent Christmas presents ideas here, thank you!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked them.
Thank you for hosting the blog, and for the gift ideas. l Gusto are perfect for my sisters, and crafts are always fun projects to the kids – and, well, the necklace is just my kind of thing!!
Sounds like I did well there with my suggestions. Thanks so much for reading my post Betsy.
I am definitely going to visit il Gusto for some tasty treats for my friends. We will have a lovely festive evening trying them all out 😬🥂
I don’t blame you. Lots of goodies there.
the natural handmade products look nice, i have been looking for more skincare that is natural and better for the environment
They have some lovely products on their site.
I don’t know what I love more the liqueurs or the dog presents
Lots of beautiful gifts to be had on the site! Simply lovely!
Looks like a great site for family gifts.
What a great guide. I love that you included pets too! Merry Christmas!
Lovely gift ideas, got one million for my hubby, next I would like lady million for me
what a lot of inspiration there is, lots of great ideas
what a great gift guide! Love the sound of the liqueurs – looks so pretty too! Merry Christmas x
There are some lovely items here – I especially love the Paco Rabanne fragrance!
I love the mirror craft kit! I love crafts so do my daughters <3
some excellent present ideas here–very,very useful will come in handy next year
Ultra dash sounds like so much fun! The diffusers would be great , having a dog I always worry about that horrible dog smell you get when you walk in the house
Sounds like the diffuser would be perfect for you.
We were given ultra dash for the boys birthday and our kids love it. It’s great for burning up some energy when it’s wet and cold outside
Really Great gift ideas!
My granddaughter just loves making things , she would love making the mosiac mirror, then she can pop it in her room
A lovely collection of gifts.
What lovely gifts.
That necklace is gorgeous. So pretty and I love the Ultra Dash game looks like a lot of fun x
The necklace is stunning. We love that game, so much fun.
I like the look of Ultra Dash. I wish I had known about this last Easter it would certainly have been useful. I’ll be thinkining about buying this for this year, just in case we are still locked down.
I always look for a family game over Christmas and ultra dadh looks fab. A diffuser is also a great choice especially with all the cooking going on, love cinnamon as a festive scent
I’ve gifted that fragrance before – it’s a lovely smell!
It sure is. It’s very popular.
Definitely something for everyone in this post! I’m quite missing mooching around searching for Christmas presents already!
Online shopping has made it easier at least. So many great companies out there.
Very true about how different Christmas has had to be done this year. Thinks it’s made us all think outside the box though, even with presents.
It sure has and has brought to light a number of great new companies too!!!
So many unique gift ideas on here. I really struggle at times to find something a bit different, especially for my parents.
It isn’t always easy. Sometimes a gift guide can give you all the inspiration you need.
Thanks for these ideas I love the diffuser but I never have much look with them as I always think they do not smell as they should or as strong as they should
I think it depends on which you get. You also need to turn the sticks every so often. Don’t forget you get used to the smell so it stops registering after a bit.
Beautiful post. There’s something for the whole family there to love
Thanks Laura. There sure is.
Paco Rabanne is one of my hubby’s favourites. Love the Diffuser too. We always but for our cats she had so much this year from us and the kids she loves it x
Ha, can’t forget our fur babies!!!
Some great items here, go to love an experience day out, plenty of things to choose from in that. And can’t go wring with some festive drinks either.
Festive drinks are always fun. Experience days are great, so many choices!!!
what a gorgeous gift selection
Thanks Lynn. I’m glad you liked them.
I love the Dinosaur figures. My grandson loves dinosaurs and I know that he would love these.
They are really good. I love that they are so well made.
So many gorgeous things on here but I do love a personalised and engraved item. I thin my whole house would be monogrammed if I could get away with it haha
these are great gift ideas, might even save them for next year!
I’ didn’t realise that Buyagift do a Christmas voucher. I hope it has a long date for the experiences this year, but i suppose most folk will go for the gifts to be sure!
They do loads of different ones which is great!
Brilliant guide. Some brilliant ideas
Ultra Dash sounds like a fun game
It’s great fun!
The Necklace is lovely, particularly like that it has a birthstone on it
It is very pretty x
Love that birthstone necklace so much
It is a stunner!!!
Lots of lovely festive gifts on offer here
This is a really lovely selection of gifts. Hard to pick just one favourite but I particularly like the necklace.
A lovely selection of gift ideas. Something for everyone. Thank you
There is plenty to choose from.
So much cool stuff, love the look of so many things especially the diffuser
The diffuser is great. We love having them in the home.
So many wonderful gift ideas! My favourite would have to be the Birthstone Disc Necklace. I absolutely love it.
The necklace is lovely. Such a great gift idea.
Such lovely ideas and great blog ❤️
Thanks Sophie x
I absolutely love gift guides like these as I never know what to buy anyone. Lovely items.
Gift guides can really help inspire.
Lots of brilliant gift ideas for everyone of all ages.
Thanks, it helps to have a range of options.
Some lovely gift ideas really like the mirror mosaic, this could keep an old child busy during lockdown
So many lovely gift ideas, I love diffusers and natural skincare creams & lotions. I’ve just been looking at Crafty You Crafty Me for my daughter and she loves drawing & writing xx
Lovely prizes!!
Some lovely ideas for gifts. I wish I’d bought some of these.
I love gift guides as it always makes me see new products, or something a little different like those liqueurs, they sound amazing and the bottles look really lovely too. I also really like the idea of the gift experiences too as then it gives the receiver something to look forward to in the new year or can be used when money might be a bit tight in the year to have some fun or relax.
Ultra dash looks great fun for my twins!
It’s a great way to have fun and get the kids moving.
So many great ideas for presents. Thanks for the article.
Some lovely gift ideas here, thank you for the top tips! Certainly some websites here that i will check out!
The pet toys look like a great idea, Santa never forgets our cats too!
Roxi loved these. She plays with them daily x
The Mirror Mosaic Kit would certainly keep my grandchildren occupied for a while although i think i’d like to create a masterpiece myself! x
It’s such a lovely idea for a gift.
I’m loving craft sets and diffusers for 2021, it makes the perfect homey vibe.
They sure do. They make great gifts.
Some great ideas on here! Wouldn’t mind a few myself.
Fabulous ideas there – I love the strange bottles of il Gusto, so different! The buyagift voucher is a great idea as the recipient can choose of what to do with it, certainly a great idea for your loved ones when you don’t know what they would like.
What a great selection of gifts at Christmas i love to think about what the person I’m buying for will like and need and enjoy using very much.
The craft gift sets caught my eye, I love things like that. They’re fun to use, easy to use and give you the opportunity to be creative.
I love reading up gift guides because there always people I have a total mind block when buying for them. Some lovely gifts and especially love the silver necklace
I get that sometimes too. It can be hard to shop for some people.
So many nice gifts but I especially love the Swarovski® Birthstone Disc Necklace. Beautiful and one you’d love to receive as a gift!
There are some lovely ideas here for next year. I really like the shape of the Quadra bottles.
They are really lovely looking aren’t they!
i would love to win this what a great giveaway thankyou so much
The jewellery you have highlighted is exquisite, it would make such a lovely present. And I love the idea of buyagift.
Some great gift ideas here thank you
Such a Marvelous selection love the jewellery sets the pets have their paws crossed too 🐾🐾🐾🐾 and the beautiful perfume divine giveaway indeed
I especially like the diffuser. I think these make the home feel cosy and inviting when you open a front door and take in the aromas
They are great for the home.
I always get my mum a diffuser for Christmas and she loves them – always nice to learn what people’s favourite scents are and try to find them some new brands/products to try.
They do make fab gifts!
I have been trying to do more crafts during lockdown have been practicing my cake icing skills – i’m still not brill though
I love the craft kits especially the mosaic mirror. It’s also great that they cater for pets.
Those are great and different too!!
I love the craft gift sets, they are a great idea especially at the moment when we’re all spending so much tine at home.
Great guide and fab competition 🙂
Lovely Ideas I love the necklace and the dinosaur
Great choices. Both make lovely gifts for the right recipient.
Great review. Absolutely love the drinks bottles. What great shapes. Gorgeous and so special.
They are lovely aren’t they. Perfect for gifts.
Very informative piece. You’ve done some brilliant research
Thanks Brenda x
Such a beautiful range of gifts. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. I wish you a happy new year xx
I especially love the necklace, it would work with everything!
It sure would and they have different colour choices.
Such a fabulous selection of gift ideas for everyone!! Wonderful.
It’s great to have a mix of gifts to inspire.
The liqueur set looks fantastic, I love the gingerbread shaped bottle, great for gifting
The shaped bottles are so lovely and ideal gifts.
