Disclaimer: My Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 2 contains a range of gifts, some of which may have been gifted, won or bought by me.
It also contains a FAB competition!!!!!
Hello and welcome to my Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 2!!!! I simply couldn’t squeeze everything into one guide as it would have been far too overwhelming so I’ve split it between a few guides.
I’ve even more wonderful things to share with you in this post. In case you are still in need of gifting inspiration. We all know that 1 person that is super hard to buy from. I hope really that one of my gift guides inspires you so that your Christmas shopping is as relaxed and easy as possible.
Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 2
A Gift Set Or Goodie Selection from an Award Winning Beauty Company
I’m amazed it took me so long to discover No Secrets. A lovely little company that is growing in both product range and popularity. This company, set up by a lovely lady called Lorna (trust me you’ll love her too when you read this) uses the finest natural ingredients in their products. Their ethos “Pure, honest, plant-based beauty with no hidden nasties” is one that appeals to more and more of us each day. The products have the luxury feel of high-end products making them perfect for gifting any time of year to a loved one or even yourself. We are all supposed to be working on self-care and what better way than a lovely natural beauty treat!
trendhim
There are all sorts of great gift ideas for men over on the trendhim website. You’ll find pocket squares, ties and bow ties to help them finish off an outfit. Some are even Christmas themed with candy canes or Christmas trees. You’ll also discover other items that can be personalised including card holders, rings, watches, cufflinks and more.
One of the items that caught my eye was the RFID wallets (ensuring cards are not scannable from any distance) so avoiding card cloning. These come in loads of styles and colours and make the perfect gift for your significant other. I know this would come in handy for my husband as a Christmas gift.
A Beer Selection
Trying new beers is something both my husband, father, brother in laws and other men in my life seem to really enjoy. It’s always nice to try something different and you can taste the quality in a good product. Why not gift them something a little different to delight their taste buds. You want to make sure you’re giving a great gift so it would be wise to consider realale.com who have been an official supplier to M&S for the last 10 years. Nothing says good quality than that, does it! These guys sell their wares online and also through 3 stores.
You’ll find beers including traditional ales, Belgian, even Christmas options as well as wines and spirits. I thought as a treat the guys coming for Christmas and my husband of course could enjoy one of the 12 Beers Of Christmas sets. This contains a very varied selection of pale ale, bitter stout etc. I on the other hand have my eye on their Solara Orange Wine (an Orange Wine that is made without the use of chemical additives.) Now doesn’t that sound lovely?
Puzzles for the Kids
Kids love puzzles. They’re really good fun and can keep them busy for long periods of time, great for the kids and even better for us parents. Earlier this year we were sent some great dinosaur puzzles which my son loved. These puzzles have been made over and over. He’s now even raced his sisters to see who could make theirs fastest. They are great to develop hand-eye coordination and finger strength. Playing with a puzzle also reduces screen time!!!
A Harry Potter Real Sorting Hat
It’s not just for kids!!! I know plenty of adult Harry Potter fans that would love this too. The hat moves and talks, just like the one in the movie. It’s a must for any Harry Potter fan to have in their collection. You’ll find this is stocked in a number of places so should be fairly easy to get hold of.
A Nice New Bottle
For those always on the go, a brand new bottle can make a great gift. Many of us know we don’t drink enough water and part of that is we don’t have it on hand. When we make things easier for ourselves we are far more able to carry them out. The bottle below has a strap and is BPA free and perfect for keeping onhand to help stay hydrated.
Reading Lamp
We were sent a light to review that really impressed us. Ever since then I’ve been telling friends and family all about the Benq Wit e-reading lamp. It’s a great gift idea for anyone that loves to read or uses their computer often at home but doesn’t have sufficient lighting for either.
A Cookery Book
I have a friend that loves to cook. She’s watching what she eats and so I thought a good cookery book would be ideal. I often buy gifts, hide them, forget I have them. How silly am I!!!! Thankfully I finally found this, so it’s a few years late, but better late than never. A book from a chef you know your friend likes or that creates foods they’ll love is a great gift or addition to a gift bundle.
A Personalised Hamper
Hampers can be purchased from many different places but the best hampers are often ones we’ve made ourselves. It’s not hard to make your own. If you need a few ideas though as to where to start then why not read my post How to Create a Personalised Hamper. Here you’ll get some great ideas to help get you started.
A Nut Cracker Tin
If you don’t have the time to create your own hamper then something like this tin full of goodies can be a lovely gift idea. Full of a range of sweet treats this is a nice gift for a member of the family or friend. You’ll find it over on the Moonpig website. The tin makes a great keepsake and can be used to store Christmas safely decorations.
My Christmas Gift Guide 2020 Part 2 also features a fabulous competition! I have 3 companies featured here taking part nosecretsbeauty, trendhim and realale.com

I really really want a sorting hat! I’ve been listing after it for a while now.
I like the male gift ideas in here, the beer set would be perfect for my Dad x
These are some great ideas, I love the Nutcracker tin that is really cute and something quite fun to get.
So many great looking gifts. I just discovered No Secrets as well and the products are so indulgent. My dad and brother have been getting into more unusual beers so I’ve got them some of those, but the set you’ve included looks great x
I am all for personalized hampers and often gift my friends and family hampers as they are always a good idea.
The reading lamp catches my eye. I also love the puzzle and my dad and husband would love the beers.
The beers are a fab idea, so many nice ones in their selections.
Such lovely gift suggestions, Mel! The Sorting Hat is definitely a must have for any Harry Potter fans!
It sure is. I know a few that would love one.
Puzzles are great because they can be done alone or with help, and can easily be reused. I myself would love to have the Sorting Hat puzzle.
Puzzles are a great option. there are so many design choices too.
What a lovely compilation of gift ideas here, the 12 Beers Of Christmas set is something so unique and I can’t wait to get this for my husband. We also love Trendhim and the wallet looks lovely
The beers are a great idea and perfect for loads. Nice to try different ones. Sounds like your husband would love them and the wallet.
Some lovely ideas here! I think the Nutcracker Tin would be perfect for my Mum. She’s always wanted to get a tall Nutcrack to put at the bottom of the stairs, but I find the big ones a bit scary 😀 So this would be the perfect compromise!
I love reading your blog and hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family.
Thanks so much Adeinne. I hope it helped inspire you and that you had a great Christmas too.
The real ale website is a good shout. My other half would love that too.
I’d be really pleased to win any of these.
They are lovely aren’t they.
You have some good ideas on what to buy different people for Christmas. I will certainly be taking a look at the Trendhim website. Thank you!
What a great gift guide and the competition prizes look wonderful too.
Perfect choice for my husband , hed love it
Nice selection of ideas for presents in the post, I particularly like the reading lamp
The lamp is really good!
Thank you so much. You have given me some ideas for Christmas.
Glad to have helped Hayley x
The trendhim giftcard would be very useful for my other half 🙂 I think this is a marvellous giveaway!
Thanks so much Natalie. They’ve some great items on the site.
Great selection of gift ideas here! My husband would love the beer selection for sure lol! I really like the look of the nutcracker tin too, all of the goodies inside sound delicious and I think it is great that the tin can be used time and time again!
Love the look of the nut cracker tin!
It’s cute isn’t it!!!
Love the look of the nut cracker tin!
Oh wow, what a lovely treat this would be, some amazing gifts
I’m glad you liked the selection x
Lovely review of some interesting gifts, the card holder would be good for my husband’s 40th thats coming up and everyone in my family loves trying new beers!
Beer has grown in popularity especially those a little different. The RFID wallet is such a great gift. I know so many that could benefit from having one.
Absolutely love the beer selection. It’s probably my favourite gift for any man
So many different ones!!!!
I would be happy to win any of these – great comp
I got my dad a hat from Trendhim last year and he is still wearing it this Christmas! Fab quality!
That’s great to hear!
Such a great selection of gift ideas. I love the selection of ales, definitely something my husband would enjoy.
There are some really lovely gifts on here. The nutcracker tin is gorgeous.
It looks great doesn’t it. A great gift idea.
I would absolutely love a pair of leather gloves from Trendhim!
They have a great range.
What lovely prizes and very generous of all the companies involved including yourself.They really are all such high quality products and very special for those who recieve them.
They are lovely products and I’m so pleased these great companies agreed to be involved.
How to create a personal hamper was very interesting
Thanks so much I’m glad you liked the post.
There are so many great gift ideas here. I love making up my own hampers but am always looking for new ideas to include so it isn’t the same every year! I’m looking at getting the Sorting Hat for my Goddaughter but I’m hoping she’ll let me have a go as well. Thanks for a great gift guide.
The sorting hat is great. So realistic!!!!!
There are so many good ideas here. My daughter would love the sorting hat and my husband would love the beer. I love the idea of a personised hamper.
There are so many options, it can be hard to know what to gift sometimes.
I’ve seen Trendhim before, their wallets look really good. Was tempted to get one for my partner
They are really nice. I know a few men that would love them.
great description of some lovely products
Lovely selection of gifts to give this Christmas . I adore the nutcracker tin, it is gorgeous and so festive.
This is a great gift selection!
like the idea of a personalized hamper could be something I follow
wow, what lovely prizes are here, I really would love to win so we can enjoy Christmas that little bit more, and there are some amazing tips here for others I need to buy for xx
I love reading about gifts you would never normally think about
These are some really lovely gifts , I am still looking
Out for some so these will come in handy
More great ideas, I’ll definitely be keeping these in mind for last minute Christmas gifts and birthday presents
Great selection, no doubt anyone be over moon with these
What an excellent range Trendhim have! Ideas for gifts are always very welcome. I particularly like the beer selection and the reading lamp.
The trendhim website offers great gifts for my husband and teen sons, its given me some gift ideas already. Nice to see a website just for men, i often feel i see more gifts for females!
Lots of lovely ideas, I like the idea of a jigsaw puzzle then that can occupy my daughter for a little while on Christmas day
The reading lamp will come in handy
It’s brilliant!!!! We love ours x
I’d be very happy with any of these gift ideas. The reading lamp especially.
The Nutcracker tin is great and could be brought out each year and filled with new treats!
It is perfect for reusing and looks perfect for the festive season.
I love the idea of creating your own personalised hamper. Quite often I find with pre made hampers that there is at least 1 item that won’t be used, so making your own is perfect x
Great gift ideas I especially like the Harry Potter sorting hat, how fun and the reading lamp and bottle look fab too
Great gift ideas I especially like the Harry Potter sorting hat, joe fun. Also the reading lamp and bottle look fab
That is a fun gift isn’t it!!!
There’s some great ideas for Christmas presents here thank you!
They really are. Have fun shopping!!!
You can’t beat a hamper as a Christmas present! I’ve just put one together for my parents with all their favourite treats inside.
I’m sure they’ll love it. I do think they make great gifts especially when homemade.
I would love the trendhim voucher to buy something lovely for my hubby
thank you for hosting the bog and for the reviews – No Secrets is a new (to me) brand, but with their “Pure, honest, plant-based beauty with no hidden nasties” policy, they sound like a perfect fit for us x
The first thing that caught my eye was the Harry Potter sorting hat, it looks fab!
Ha, I’m not surprised!!!
im going to have to start shopping online at trendhim—they have some great products
They sure do. Loads of great options.
Lorna does sound amazing and I’m sure I would love her. The Harry Potter sorting hat looks good. Thanks for the chance of winning.
What a fabulous selection. We are huge fan of Harry potter and puzzles. I love Trendhim they have such great quality gift.
Lovely hamper my husband would enjoy trying the beers he’s in to different ales etc
The water bottle looks decent I have been looking to replace my one
It is a good one. So many options available make it hard to choose.
I have always wanted to do a hamper as a gift, but i worry I would get to carried away, they do look fun to make though, you could get very creative.
I’m sure any man in my life would appreciate this Fantastic gift ….. my partner, dad , brother or eldest son would be delighted with this!
I totally agree!!!
This would be a great surprise for my lovely boyfriend thanks. Hope you had a lovely Xmas and happy new year x
Love this blog. I think when you can’t see someone sending them a hamper is a great idea.
It can be a lovely option.
Making a special hamper full of things the recipient will love is a fabulous idea! Show’s how well you know them too.
The beer selection is such a good idea. It can especially work with a group of people who all have different favourites
Great gift guide. My dad would love the 12 beers of Christmas! I love the sorting hat!
I like the reading lamp. It’s so important to have good lighting. It looks different too.
I would purchase the Hamper and the nutcracker tin as the Hamper is more personal and the nutcracker it just embodies Christmas
absolutely brilliant idea to make your own hamper! I know so many people that are really hard to buy for and a hamper of goodies might just be the answer.
I adore that reading lamp! It’s stylish and yet practical, which is exactly what I try to look for in gifts..maybe this gift would be for me tho! 😉
The 12 beers of Christmas looks absolutely awesome! I love the look of it!
They are really good according to the husband and my dad x
I loved reading this post. It’s straight to the point an easy yet interesting read.
I particularly love the sound of the wallets with built in card cloning protection, a great idea for the men in my family.
I’ve often thought about hampers we all love a good hamper and it’s something I do for my son, however, I think this is something I should be doing more often for friends, you can so easily make it personal. I am going to read more of this to get some good ideas
I love the drinks bottle, I sit with one constantly because I don’t drink enough so find if I have a reusable bottle I just drink throughout the day.
I love your idea of a personalised hamper, they really do make the best presents. I’ve made one before and it was an absolute joy to gift it to my brother-in-law for Christmas. I’ve also received a personalised hamper before and the items in it were all absolutely right up my street and I loved them all. They really do make the best gifts!
I so love making homemade hampers! Lots of ideas for gifts to put into these.
Me too, so many choices of items to add!!!
Thanks for the lovely competition , fingers crossed , happy new year
Wow! What an impressive giveaway!
Thanks Samantha.
It’s my hubby’s birthday in January and I always struggle with what to get him being so close to christmas. I think a sneaky peek at trendhim may be in order
There are some wonderful items on the trendhim website to choose from. I have already bought from this site and the service was great!
I like the BenQ WiT e-Reading Lamp not only for reading but doing jigsaw puzzles in the winter months
It is a multipurpose light!!! Great choice.
Some great items here – I think handmade hampers are good because they are quite easy to make and cost less than buying one that is pre-made. Happy new year 🙂
They are easy to make and are so easily tailored too.
My Hubby would love the beer. The reading lamp is something I’m trying to find a good one at the moment. The one you tested looks & seems great although a little expensive.
My hubby and dad love beer as a gift. The light is great. I’ve learnt that it’s best to get quality items even if they cost a little more. They tend to be worth it in this case especially.
None of my boys are Harry Potter fans but I am! I would love that sorting hat
Oh wow, how is that possible! At least you are. 😀
Great gift guide really like the Harry Potter items
Thaey are a great choice of gift.
A lovely guide to some lovely gifts
Thanks Jennifer x
What a fab selection of beers. I think my fella would love those. Myself, I’d love the Sorting Hat. I’m a little Harry Potter mad x
Ha, those are great choices. We love Harry Potter here.
The sorting hat is fantastic ! x
Love the idea of creating a personalised hamper, you could could collect things throughout the year for it which would be a great way to save money too
That works well. I do try to collect gifts over the year. Not always for hampers. If you find a great offer it’s a good idea to grab it whilst you can.
great christmas gift ideas, might recycle them for 2021
Ha, great idea Rebecca!!!
What an amazing prize spread! 😍
Think hampers are such a great idea can personalise it to exactly what that persons likes so fantastic for all different ages.
It sure is. I know my kids would love a sweet hamper.
Fabulous! I would love to win and start this year off in the best way!
It would certainly be a great start to the year.
I’ve been very impressed by the range and value for money offered by the Trendhim site this year. Pity I had finished all my gift shopping before I saw it but will bear in mind for future use
Definitely, one to keep in mind for future.
Ty for the opportunity to win this
I like the selection of ideas, particularly the ideas for a personal hamper.
Again more great great ideas. I love finding new things. That lamp looks so futuristic and fancy, but would be great for when I sit in a corner on my laptop with little light.
These are wonderful gift ideas, especially the hampers, customisable for almost everyone!
I love the idea of creating a personalised hamper as a gift and your ideas are really good. I was given a hamper like this for Christmas and it was very meaningful and just right for me!
Fabulous ideas as there is really something for everyone in there – Dad, husband, brother-in-law. Not just for Christmas but I can already see some fab birthday presents. I love especially the hamper and I know hubby would love the beers. I would also look more into the beauty products as men need to look after their skin too and as he is not buying skin products himself it is always easier to give them as gift as he is then feeling kind of obliged to use it. A bit sneaky but it works.
I find it such a struggle to think of things to buy people for Christmas and a post like this is really good for giving ideas. You get sick of the same old gifts and It’s great to see something different.
Gifting can be hard any time of year. It helps to have a few ideas to consider.
Some great ideas here. My friend is always complaining that his drinks bottle tastes of plastic so a bpa free one could be a good option and safer for his health too. I like the sound of the plant-based natural skincare, especially with the feel of a high end luxury product. I try and avoid cheap and nasty high street skincare since I have become older and wiser!
I also like buying jigsaws for the children in my family as a way of getting them to focus their attention away from a screen for a while! They love Dinosaurs too (had a video call with my nephew today who was dressed in dinosaur PJs 🙂)
A lovely selection of items here-nutcracker tin is so jolly and festive, and I am always looking out for a new light.
It does look good doesn’t it. Loads of yummy goodies inside.
The sorting hat looks ace. I have seen that before
It is a fun toy for fans.
I love the photo of your children doing the puzzle together, they look as they’re really working as a team!
They do like to do puzzles both by themselves and together. It’s great for learning teamwork.
A brillant asortment of prize,Love the idea of prizes for me or hubby.
Glad you liked these suggestions Veronica.
We have rediscovered puzzles over the Christmas period and my ten year-old is loving them
They are great fun. We love puzzles.
They’re definitely not for kids… I desperately want the sorting hat now!
Ha, I know plenty of adults that would love one!!!
A lovely selection of gifts and a great prize.
Fab prize, thank you, and good luck all x
My partner did a chef’s course at the same college as Gary Rhodes so she would be interested in his book.
Oh wow, sounds like he’d love the book.
Loving the nutcracker tin!!! Lots of ideas for next year
I’d love to be able to gift The Sorting hat to my granddaughter 😍🎩
Ah, I love the Gary Rhodes book you’ve got a photo of in your blog. I met him back in 2005 and he was such a nice guy.
The sorting hat looks brilliant. A must for Harry Potter fans.
He makes some great recipes. Cookbooks can be a great gift for the right person.
This is one heck of a prize, love it.
Lots of great gift ideas. I’d like the Harry Potter Real Sorting Hat, which my nephew would love.
I’m sure he would. It looks just like the one in the movie.
What lovely gifts, I’d love the Gary Rhodes at the table book – he was always my favourite celebrity chef x
What a wonderful giveaway, I would be so thrilled to win this
trendhim RFID wallets are a great idea and they look good. Wondering if they’ve been tested. Independently that is ?????.
Honestly, I’ve no idea but I’m guessing they must work for them to be labeled so.
Love the home spa fron No Secrets and they’re vegan too.
It’s a great company. One that has some lovely products.
Lovely gifts the nutcracker tin is very cute ☺️
I do like the look of that selection of beers – that would go down very well in this house.
They have some lovely ones!!!
My partner did a chef’s course at the same college as Gary Rhodes did his training so I know she would also love his book.
Sounds like the perfect gift for her.
I really like using natural beauty products and the No Secrets products look lovely and tempting. You can almost smell them.
Natural beauty products are always a lovely treat.
Wonderful ideas for super gifts a great selection for someone special or a special occasion
Thanks Julie. It’s great to have a nice range of options.
Lovely selection of gifts my husband would love the nutcracker man set he collects them
oh wow, I didn’t even know people collected them.
Such a lovely selection of gifts, suitable for all occasions and for everyone
Great gift ideas for special and all occasions
looks amazing
I like the wallets my son needs a new one and they look good quality
They are great as gifts.
I love the Nutcracker tin, what a lovely present that makes.
It does look good doesn’t it!!!
I’ve just had a look at the Trend Him site and some lovely gift ideas for my son x
They have a really good range.
I love the idea of a personalized hamper. There are always some things in the standard one that no one wants !
I agree. This way you only gift items they’d like.
I love that reading lamp, how cool is that! and my foster son would adore the harry potter hat
Both are great as gifts x
some great looking gift ideas, the hamper especially looks good with good variety of products
It’s such a lovely way to gift.
So many wonderful things, I so love the talking sorting hat!
I love these products
Something for everyone here, love the desk lamp, with a makeup artist daughter and husband & son into electronic engineering there is always a clamber for additional lighting in our house. The youngest has severe learning difficulties so the puzzles would be a bonus with home schooling.
It’s good to have plenty of options.
The reading lamp looks amazing! I need something like that for my desk whilst working from home!
It is really useful. I’m sure you’d love it!
I know my son would love the sorting hat! I may or may not NEED it 😁
😂
My son would love the Harry Potter sorting Hat but is getting a bit old for it now.
You’re never too old for these things 😂
I do find hampers put together with a person in mind are very welcome. I have elderly friends and I make up a food hamper for them every Christmas and they love it as it gives them products they would never buy for themselves. My fiance would love the beer and the No Secrets would be great for me.
It is a great way to find lovely gifts for others as you said that they wouldn’t normally buy, but would love.
I love the idea of being able to personalise a hamper. They would certainly make a great gift to give to a family – a lovely something for each and everyone of them . Great idea !!!
Thanks Marjoleine. It does make gifting easier.
Some great ideas, especially the personalised hamper and the Harry Potter gift.
Yes, those are lovely gifts.
Awesome giveaway!!!!!
Wonderful gifts, there’s something for everyone, thanks for the ideas!
No problem George. Hope the post helped.
My son has just read all the Harry Potter books and would love the Sorting Hat!
Sounds like the perfect gift for him.
The beauty range sounds fantastic, I like that it’s plant based. The dinosaur puzzles look great.
I’m trying to use more natural beauty products so I’d love to try these.
That’s good to hear. I think many are doing the same now.
