(#gifted) Let’s face it, this year has been rubbish and last year wasn’t much better. The thought of Christmas although exciting for children fills some parents with dread with the thought of the money we will be spending on food and gifts. So I’ve decided to write this post earlier than usual to encourage you to start your preparations earlier to make Christmas gift shopping easier and less stressful. You can also take a look at my post Making Preparing for Christmas More Relaxed to help you cut that stress further. I’ve also included a great competition too!!! So grab a tea/coffee/smoothie and have a quick read of my post, Christmas Gift Guide 2021 Part 1. It’s a short read full of great gift suggestions.
Christmas Gift Guide 2021 Part 1
Christmas doesn’t have to be a stressful time even for those with limited funds. It’s all about how we prepare for this. Here are some great companies that have a wide range of amazing products between them, you will literally find something for every single family member and friend. That’ll be Christmas sorted so you can then put your feet up and relax when everyone else panic buys last minute.
Aura
We have become a society obsessed with taking images. Some of us will take hundreds or more each month and these often end up stored away on a phone or USB stick never to be seen again. But, thanks to Aura you can now display your photos proudly in your home for you and any visitors to enjoy. The frames are super easy to use. Simply download the free app on your phone or tablet, connect the frame to your wifi, then you and your family can send images to the frame from anywhere in the world.

There are memory cards, no hidden fees. These are such a lovely way to share treasured memories with loved ones.
Red Letter Days
We all love to get out as much as we can now and Red Letter Days have plenty of great gift options that will be ideal. Options such as eating out, breaks away, spa days, driving experiences and gift boxes if you want to get them something great but are unsure what to select. Options are varied and the site is easy to use with gifts set out in different categories to make choosing the perfect experience as easy as possible. You’ll find carefully selected gifts for couples, for him, for her, for families, friends, even a Christmas selection of activities.

Skates.co.uk
We love this site. With everyone on a fitness drive they have the most fabulous range for children – and those like me with Peter Pan syndrome. Yes, If you love getting outside and having fun then they have plenty to facilitate this. Skates.co.uk have all sorts of wonderful items to encourage kids to want to go outside and abandon those screens from skates, bikes, scooters, skateboards, Heelys – these are soooo much fun, mine have all had a pair. In addition, they have parts, so you can fix that old bike you’ve left in the shed for the last 4 months, and also safety gear so you can pad the kids up to your heart’s content and prevent any unnecessary boo boo’s. Prices vary so most pockets are covered plus they have a sale on site NOW!!! No better time to start your Christmas shopping if you haven’t already.

There are plenty of great items each in a range of colours, styles and also prices for each option. You really can’t make gifting men of varying ages much easier than this. We love their Montreal Leather travel bag, the perfect luxury gift for someone special.
Zavvi Christmas Jumpers
Christmas jumpers are all the rage and the choices available have grown considerably over the years. you’ll see every member in some families kitted out which their own Chritsmas jumper these days. Some may even have a few different options to wear over the festive season. You’ll see all sorts of great Christmas jumpers for all the family over on the Zavvi website. In fact, it’s the largest selection I have seen on one site. Options include; Marvel, Batman, Stranger Things, Super Mario, Harry Potter, Elf, The Grinch, Star Wars, see how I’m still listing more, Superman, Frozen, The Nightmare Before Christmas and many many more. Don’t forget Christmas jumper day for Save the Children UK will be on Friday the 10th December and many schools will be taking part. Make sure you grab your jumpers for the who family while stocks last!!!
LOVELOX
Lockets can make lovely gifts that will be treasured by their recipient for many years. These types of necklaces are often given to mark a special occasion or to show that you care. It could be a gift given to a partner or a close friend. LOVELOX is a British brand that has a lovely range of lockets to select from using fairmined silver and gold. Their lockets are all made from yellow gold (made with 925 sterling silver with 18 carat gold plate), 925 sterling silver or rose gold (made with 925 sterling silver with 18 carat rose gold plate). There are a range of shapes available including round, oval or hearts which are the most popular. Within the locket, people often keep pictures of loved ones, one on each side. Sometimes they may even keep a lock of hair or ashes. These really do make gorgeous gifts.
Buyagift
Buyagift has plenty of great experiences for the whole family to enjoy from grandparents, parents, even the kids. They have something for everyone so you’ll be spoilt for choice with the number of options. For something adults only or as a family, the choice is yours. How would a Sherlock Immersive Cocktail Experience for Two sound, or Silver Theatre Tickets to a West End Show for Two? You could even opt for an Overnight Golf Break with Two Rounds of Golf for Two at The award-winning Belfry Hotel and Resort. There are a range of options to suit a wide range of budgets. Prices start from £12.50 Three Lap Drifting Passenger Ride for One. You’ll find something for everyone and are really spoilt for choice on their site.
Cosy Aromas
The demand for products to fragrance our homes has grown so much over recent years. As a result, we are buying all sorts of fragrance products to make our home smell great. Yes, you can find all sorts of products in the shops but sometimes you’ll be better off shopping online. The reason for this is they are able to stock a wider range of fragrances and products than a section in s store.
Take Cosy Aromas for instance, they stock a range of highly scented wax melts, burners, room sprays – some of which are seasonal which is a lovely idea, oils, diffusers as well as a lovely range of gift sets. Their products are all of exceptional quality. You’ll get a good spread on all the aromas which explains this lovely British company’s growing popularity. They have some gorgeous products ideal for gifting at birthdays, Christmas or just to show you care.
My Chronicle Book Box
I have rediscovered my love of reading. Yes, it’s true and omg it really is helping me work on my self care which I had been previously neglecting. So many of us love to read, it’s such a great way to unwind. Gifting in this area hasn’t really been on my radar until I discovered My Chronicle Book Box. These guys have a wonderful selection of book box subscriptions including Crime & Mystery, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, they also have first edition books and bookish gifts. The book boxes contain the latest novels that have been signed by their authors. They also include exclusive author interviews and top quality bookish goodies for the recipient to enjoy. This company really made it easy to make sure you are choosing the best book subscription box whether buying for yourself or as a gift. The perfect gift for any book lover!
Jana Reinhardt
Jewellery comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. When shopping for gifts or myself I prefer to choose items that are of a high quality rather than costume jewellery. There is far too much environmental waste in the world and I would rather not add to this when a poor quality item breaks. As a result, a great jewellery company to consider when picking a gift for a loved one is Jana Reinhardt. They are some gorgeous handcrafted items inspired by nature. Choose from hummingbirds, cats, penguins, mermaids and plenty more. Some items come in sterling silver, a range of gold options or even platinum.
Jana Reinhardt use eco-friendly precious metals and plastic free recyclable packaging, they are Responsible Jewellery Council certified and they also donate a percentage of their profits to animal charities. They also offer a 5 year guarantee for each purchase and a lifetime repair service. What’s not to love about this company!!! So make sure you visit them when looking for cute jewellery to gift.

A really good range of ideas for gifting friends and family, for all kinds of budgets.
Thanks Maria. There are loads of great items to choose from and from great sites. I’m fussy about which companies I accept to feature.
Some interesting gift ideas, nice to discover new and different things & sites to check out. Thank you.
I agree, there are some companies we wouldn’t all be aware of that might have just the perfect gift for someone you know.
What great ideas a RedLetterDays Voucher, Electric Wax Burner, Wax Melts, a penguin necklace, mens gloves and a Book Box . So many great Christmas present ideas.
They are are, that’s the whole family sorted x
I think the red letter days are a good idea but I do love the zavvi jumpers!! 🙂
The experience vouchers are fantastic. We love the jumpers, so many different options to choose from.
I love the idea of the red letter days but I also love the jumpers from zavvi! Great guide 🙂
Those jumpers are fantastic, so many designs and well made.
Very informative some good gifts here! I think the red letter day would be fab for my hubby
Those are great as gifts x
These are such lovely gifts to give to someone, especially the electric burner. Bring on Christmas and hopefully a lovely one this year with all family and friends!
I hope you have a great Christmas. This will help you when choosing your gifts.
The Buy a gift voucher looks good for a quick getaway.
it certainly is a lovely gift!!!
some good ideas for christmas, hopefully its going to be a better christmas than last year
I hope it is too. It’ll be less stressful if you get your gifts early x
Great selection of interesting companies. I particularly like the lockets and jewellery, but can see lots of other items that would make great presents. I have started looking for Christmas ideas so this was very useful.
Jewellery can make a great gift.
Thank you for the great ideas, have to say I’m still feeling really stressed about it this year! The animal jewellery will make a great present for a loved one. I need to look at those.
They do make lovely gifts.
Can’t wait for Christmas, a great post as always.
Thank you so much Layla.
There ae some great ideas here to get me thinking
I’m glad you liked them Ursula.
Now these are the kind of gifts I’d buy – even down to the penguin necklace. I’ll have to start dropping hints!
It is such a cute necklace isn’t it!!! Hurry and start hinting!!!
What fabulous ideas, plenty of things to get me thinking. Still not done anything about Christmas yet
I hope you have since you commented. Have fun shopping!
Lots of really lovely gift ideas. I love Engravers Guild – I have a beautiful silver engraved Marmite lid which I adore. It can be hard to know what to gift family members, so thank you for the list.
No problem Nicola, thanks for visiting.
Some fantastic gift idea’s started looking forward to Christmas and have done a few bits of shopping.
That’s great, we don’t have long now!!!
Cosy Aromas appeals to me as I love a fresh scent when entering my home. Some good buying options for xmas especially redletter days and buyagift.
Me too it is nice when your home smells good! Gift experiences make lovely gifts x
Love the lockets by LOVELOX. I used to have a lovely one years ago but the hinge got broken. The jumpers look great and so do the room sprays.
That’s a shame, you’ll find a great replacement at Lovelox.
Some inspiring ideas, I love reading too, so the My Chronicle Book Box is what caught my eye and one for my shopping list
It’s so calming, I’ve found I’ve been more stressed this last few days as I’ve not had time to read.
Some really beautiful gift ideas on here…its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
It sure is and we can’t wait!!!!
Some really great Christmas present ideas, it seems to get harder to buy for everyone each year!
I know what you mean. The good thing is you’ll find loads of inspiration in my gift guides.
LOVELY PRIZE FOR CHRISTMAS CANNOT WAIT!!
Not long now, it’ll be here before we know it.
Some fantastic ideas – always nice to try something new for gifts like that slime lab and the picture frame.
The frames are great and slime is always a popular gift for kids.
Lots of great ideas for all the family, I love receiving vouchers like red letter days and often gift them to my children. A pair of roller skates is also what I’m after so must take a look at Skates.
Those are great gift ideas, have fun shopping.
Great gift guide – I like the cosy aromas – love reading gift guides for ideas!
They can help give you a range of options. The great thing is you can probably knock off a few people from your list after seeing these options x
Love finding new places to shop
Me too. It’s nice to have a good number of options.
Fab ideas, red letter days make fantastic gifts and have a such a range of ideas. I need to look at Trendhim as they have some great mens gifts.
Thanks Chrissy. I hope that’s a few items to be crossed off your shopping list.
There’s a whole range of different gift ideas on this blog post I can use for those ‘hard to buy for’ people. Everyone has somone who has everything or is tricky to buy for. I’ll be bookmarking this page so I can come back when I hit a block for what to get someone. I do like the idea of the frame and the scooter as gifts. The diffusers can be a good idea too 🙂
It’s great to have a wide range of options to choose from.
Wow! Awesome prize! Xx
It sure is. Thanks for visiting x
I think Aura is a great idea in this day and age! Got some many great digital photos but no where to show them off.
It sure is a great idea. These frames make such great gifts as they will share images we treasure of loved ones for us to see.
Fabulous blog just what I need for Christmas present inspiration!
Thanks Holly. I’m glad you enjoyed the post.
I am getting so excited for xmas now!
Me too. I’ll be watching Elf soon!!
These are great gift ideas. I love jewellery for me and to gift. Gloves are great for men and a scooter or roller skates for kids.
They all make lovely gifts.
I love everything you mentioned. Th gift experiences are really good and the jewellery. I like the idea of engraved gifts too.
Those are great choices, Have fun shopping!!!
Oh dear, I wrote my comment and forgot to add my name. I like the My Chronicle book box that you have so beautifully showcased. Having a book picked for you makes it feel like a surprise gift, a box met with anticipation. I bought my daughter a book box with four books for an advent gift. One book for each week of advent. A welcome chance to slip away from the hustle and bustle of the pre-Christmas weeks and escape to another world. There is something magical about curling up with a book on a cold winter evening.
A surprise book box makes a great gift. It’s even better if you get them a subsciption.
Lots of good ideas for potential gifts. I would always recommend BuyaGift as a good option, because they are so versatile.
They sure are. Plenty of lovely options to choose from on their site.
i love christmas, spending time with the famiy, eating too much, cuddly blankets and xmas movies. its just the best time of year.
It sure is, we love it too!!!
I love sites like buyagift and red letter days for presents, they’re great for those who might be a little ‘difficult’ to buy for! And I find experiences more fun than a physical gift 🙂
Ha, yes. They can choose what they like with a voucher. It takes the stress out completely.
I haven’t ever tried using wax melts so this prize in particular would be great.
These are really beautifully fragranced, you will love them!!!!
Great selection love them!
Me too. I hope this post has inspired you.
Great Selection, My family would love them !
They are great products. Plenty of choice for everyone.
This is a brilliant gift guide, there a several things that appeal to me for people i know. I really love the Jaina Reinhardt and the Lovelox Jewellery you have featured, they are really pretty, cute designs.
They are such love designs and perfect for gifting.
i seriously cannot wait for xmas! so excited!
Me too!!! Not long now.
Love the Burner so pretty and my lad has always wanted a Balloon flight
Both make great gifts.
Not too many weeks left for Christmas shopping, and some great gift ideas here, I love the jewellery and who doesn’t love a fragrant home.
Not long at all, have fun shopping.
Some fantastic ideas, I am so excited for Christmas <3 <3
It won’t be long now. Hope you’ve started shopping!!!
Some great ideas for Christmas presents on here, mainly for me!. Fingers crossed
Thanks for your comment. If you want to enter the competition please comment with your name.
Some great ideas for Christmas presents on here, mainly for me! fingers crossed
Ha, yes they are all lovely items.
What a great guide. I love the sound of the frame. The scooter looks great too. My partner would love the watch.
Those are all great gift options.
Great post, two products caught my eye particularly Aura which is really innovative and a great gift. I love the lovelox lockets too so pretty. Will share 🙂
Those are great gift options. Perfect for loved ones.
Perfect items for a chilled out Christmas
They all make great gifts.
Those Zavvi Christmas jumpers look amazing. I also love the look of My Chronicle Book Box, nothing more I like to do than read, not that I need anymore books!!!
The jumpers are great so many choices. Ha, the more books the better.
Some fantastic Christmas gift ideas I really love the book box, lockets and wax melts. Great for gifts.
They really do make lovely gifts.
Such a lovely fab giveaway, those electric burners look so cool. Hope you have a good Christmas 🙂
They are lovely gifts. Thanks, have a lovely Christmas too Esme.
love the Jana Reinhardt jewellery, would look great on my wife
They have some beautiful pieces. They’re perfect for animal lovers.
I have to admit I’ve not tried Cosy Aromas before but I do love wax melts – I’ll have to look into them.
Wax melts are lovely to fragrance the home.
A really good range of ideas for gifts for friends and family.
Thanks Adele, I’m so pleased you liked them.
Some good ideas here, especially for friends/family that we can’t visit this year. Love the predator set for kids!
Thanks Ruth. it helps to get a little inspiration to help you get gifts early.
Good post. I particularly like the idea of the ‘experience’ present.
They can be great, I’ve been on a few myself.
It seems to be an ever more daunting task to pick some great Christmas presents. You may well have saved me a lot of head scratching
That’s great Mark, have fun Christmas shopping.
This would be amazing, I haven’t got many presents yet and I feel like time is running out!!
There is still time although I’d hurry!!!
I’m loving the Jana Reinhardt jewellery, especially the rose gold penguin necklace
That is soooo cute!
there are some great gift ideas for christmas i like the My Chronicle Book Box
It does make such a great gift!!!
They are great
They sure are!
Some really good ideas here, need to start getting organised now!
I hope the guide has helped to inspire you Caroline.
Love the make your own dinosaur kit, will take a look for my daughter!
Most things with dinosaurs can work well with some kids.
I’ve been trying to contain my excitement for Christmas but just can’t help it when I start seeing all these wonderful gift guides. I really love the experience vouchers as a gift idea (and as something I would love to receive). Less waste and memories that last over an item that will get broken, used up or passed on.
They are ideal as they can be sent online so no waste at all!!!
I really love those lockets, I’ve always wanted one of them x
They are gorgeous aren’t they! The lockets are great to gift.
looking forward to Christmas so much! love being with all the family.
Me too, it’s nice to get that bit of time off where you can do things together.
Some nice ideas here. I think my daughter would love the skates.
I think those can be a great gift. Mine always loved theirs.
I love letter days – have a wide variety of days to choose from!
Me too they are really good.
Some really good ideas here, like me a few of my family are big into reading so I think the Chronicle Book Box is really good, perfect as well to subscribe to the genres each reader would like too.
It would be something different but really appreciated.
A really nice range of gifts on the list for Christmas. I love red letter days though as there is so much variety and something for everyone. I like to give experiences and days out rather than an actual gift
That can work well depending on the person. We all know what our family and friends will like most so tend to be guided by that when selecting gifts.
I have always fancied the idea of a Red Letter Days experience. It’s certainly on my bucket list!
They do have plenty of great experiences.
you have given a good description of the items on the post – I am going to buy some jewellery for my partner based on this.
I’m sure they will love it Jancie. Have fun shopping.
Nice to get some new inspiration for the Christmas shopping!
Ha, yes and help is a bonus.
There are some great ideas on here. Thanks
Thanks Leanne. I’m so glad you liked the post.
I buy wax melts all the time so I would be very happy if i received some as a gift. i’ve been looking at Buyagift this week and I have found some experiences that I would like to get for my family.
Both are amazing as gifts. Buyagift have some wonderful afternoon teas on there!!!!! Wax melts are lovely. The ones from these guys are amazing.
Some excellent ideas, making me very excited for Christmas now!!
It’s such a lovely time. It’s great to see people get into the festive spirit.
Great shopping ideas. Always prefer an experience rather than ‘stuff’ as a present so the Red Letter Day and buyagift experiences are a great idea
They can make for an amazing day out or even a lovely trip away.
Love Christmas but useless at getting gifs so thank you for the ideas, I better start planning now…!
Not a problem Jane. These are some great examples but do visit each site as they have some amazing ranges with plenty of fab products to choose from.
I love the idea of the book box. Sounds like a great way to discover new authors in your favourite genre.
It is a bit different isn’t it. Many more are getting into reading for self-care. it can be very relaxing!!!
Some lovely ideas there for a range of ages thank you
That should cover everyone for you x
such great gift ideas! voucher days are always a winner
They really are!!!
Great 🎁 lots of choice for everyone
There sure is, it’s good to have a wide range of options.
fantastic variety of gifts, love the look of science toys for my son
Science toys can be good fun for kids.
Some fantastic gift ideas there, i’d never heard of the chronicle book box but definitely one i’m going to look into.
They are new to me too, but their boxes are really good!!!
Some great ideas here for Christmas. Thank you for showing us such a great selection.
Thanks Hayley. These are all lovely products, ideal to gift to friends and family.
great ideas for gifting friends and family,
Thanks Iain. I’m glad you liked the post.
i am an avid reader so the “my chronicle book set” is just what I want
They are perfect for people like yourself.
Some brilliant Christmas ideas here. I really like the red letter days idea so that you can spend time with the people you love.
Those make great gifts alongside Buyagift. Both have lovely experience options.
So many great ideas here, thanks for the guidem I especially love the lockets
The lockets are beautiful. They make amazing gifts x
There’s some lovely gift ideas here. I always think the Jana Reinhardt jewellery is so beautiful.

Too many great gift ideas to choose from!
I hope that’s helped with everything you need this year.
I really like the book box, such a great idea for a Christmas gift for a book lover.
It makes a wonderful gift for anyone that loves to read.
Great ideas for Christmas pressies . I would love to receive a book box
It is such a lovely gift idea!
This is a great gift guide, a lot of variety! There’s a gift for everyone
Thanks so much. It does feature a range of great products.
Always interesting to see different gift ideas
It is you can get some great inspiration.
I really like the sound of Aura. I am always taking photos of the kids and as said in the post they just get kept on my phone. Aura sounds like a nice way of storing and viewing the photos
It really is a great way to see the pictures plus you can have others add ones to them of things they are getting up to.
I love the aromas bundle I have always wanted one x
They are really lovely. Wax melts are really handy to have to keep the home smelling lovely.
I think there are some lovely items in here, I like the idea of a book box, I have started reading more and I’ve read over 50 novels in the last year!!
Oh wow, you’ve done really well!!!
The Jana Reinhardt jewellery has been on my radar for a wee while. Really lovely. Would make a great Christmas gift. I’ve been the Trendhim sight too. They have great ideas for presents for my sons. You have inspired me to start my Christmas shopping.
Yaaayyy, have fun shopping. That’s a few people covered x
I have been seeing Jana Reinhardt jewellery a lot, I am definitely going to treat myself, her animals are so beautiful, I love the Orangutan.
They have some cute pieces. I’ve not seen that one, must check it out as I have a friend that would loooove that!!
Some fantastic gift ideas. My favourite would be the book box x
It is such a lovely gift!!!
Some lovely gift ideas. Love the penguin necklace.
It certainly makes a lovely gift.
I always buy my wax melts and oils offline simply because there seems to be a much bigger variety of scents BUT have found a huge difference in the concentration of fragrance. Some you can hardly smell while others you can reuse 2 or 3 times and they still smell amazing. I will certainly be checking out Cosy aromas.
These ones have a reputation for being really good x
The photo frame is an enticing idea. The gift ideas make you think of Christmas
They really do. It’s not long now!!!
This is getting me super excited for Christmas! I can’t wait to spend time with my favourite faces xx
Me too!!! Not long now.
Great gift ideas for Christmas. I will get my nieces the pink Slime kit. They will love it!
They really will. That sort of gift goes down well with kids that love slime.
Some really good ideas. I’ve just Brough my Husband a voucher for a driving experience from Red letter days
That’s great, I bet he loves it!!!!
What a fab gift guide and a lovely competition. I’m excited for Christmas now!
I know what you mean. Hope it’s a good one.
Wow what a gift guide, there are some firm favourites of mine on there, I think you must have everyone covered no matter what their age, you have given me some great ideas
I certainly have. I like to be thorough!!!
I love the Jana Reinhardt penguin necklace it’s so cute
It really is. It is a lovely idea for a gift.
There are some lovely gifts here and I love the lockets
They are gorgeous, the site has loads to choose from!!!

It can make a big difference.

They are really good. I have one ready to be wrapped for a friend. They make lovely gifts.
Ah some great ideas here! Thank you – I’m in the middle of trying to put a shopping list together and this really helps – particularly for ideas for the men! I love Red Letter Days as there is something for everyone.

It would certainly help you as it’ll mean less to do closer to the big day.
Toys and bears sounds like a good website, I will have a look today to see if there is anything my children would like on it for Christmas
You’ll find loads on there. It’s a really good site for kids toys.
Brilliant Christmas present ideas – much appreciated – we all need them lol x
Have fun shopping.
lots of lovely gift ideas, a great post
Thanks so much Sharon x
Jana Reinhardt is an absolutely amazing designer, wonderful as a treat for yourself let alone pressies for people! Some brilliant gift ideas here
She has created some gorgeous pieces.
There are some really lovely gift ideas here, sure to bring
A smile to someone’s face
They certainly will. It helps to have options.
A great gift guide! The only problem I have is I see things and end up liking them for myself. Ive got 36 people & pets to buy for so its hard!
Wow, that’s a lot of gifts. I know what you mean lol.
some fabulous gift ideas in this post, thanks so much
Thanks Jackie,I’ve been working hard to find some of the best items out there that would make great gifts x
Really helpful ideas in this post and on the site. I always struggle to know what to get!
It can be hard to know what’s available too. These guide guides help by presenting good quality products to choose from.
Really helpful, fab job. The jumpers look good. I need to get skates for a friends daughter, love those pink ones.
The pink skates do look great x
What great ideas. The Jana Reinhardt jewellery is gorgeous and I love the sound of the things from Cosy Aromas x
They are both great companies with some really lovely products.
I would love to try Cosy Aromas, I bet it all smells lush
They do have amazing products!
Thanks for a great list of ideas, so many good ones to choose from, love the love lox so beautiful and the cosy aromas as there is nothing better than a nice smelling house. But the winner for me and I’m adding to my Santa’s list is the Aura picture frame, what an amazing item, love that all your friends and family can also send you pictures to keep your frame up to date….love it!
The frame is such a lovely idea. It makes a really special gift.
You have included so many goof ideas. I am a big reader and especially love the idea of the Chronicle book box. My daughter would love the jewellery and my husband something from Trendhim.
That’s everyone covered then!!!
So many nice things, love the sound of the book box as go through so many books
Sounds like a bok=ok box would be perfect for you as a gift.
I’m so excited for Christmas! That toys and bears website looks great. Haven’t come across that one, seems worth checking out! 😍
It really is. you’ll find some great toys on there.
Red letter days make great gifts. I once had a personal shopping experience with them and it was so fun, I felt like a queen!
That’s great to hear. I hope you get another!
Red letter day experiences make great gifts. I also like the different jewellery options.
Both make really lovely gifts.
This post has given me some inspiration for gifts, especially Lovelox which I am going to visit now. I’d like a aura frame for me and that slime toy looks god.
Those are all great products. Lovelox have some wonderful items on their site. You might end up buying for yourself too x
Red Letter Days have some great experiences. I’ve done an animal handling experience at a local falconry centre, and afternoon tea at an hotel in the Lakes. Both were excellent!
Oh wow, they sound great. They do have some lovely gift options.
There are some great gift ideas here. I especially like the Red Letter Days voucher
They are always popular alongside BuyaGift.
Some great gift ideas for Christmas for my family! Thank you so much x
Thanks Sophie. It helps to get a little inspiration sometimes.
Amazing gift ideas but i have to say the Zavvi Christmas jumpers are everything to me, that Mario one i have to have it
Ha, I don’t blame you. These jumpers are great and very Christmassy!!!
This is a lovely list of ideas for Christmas gifts. The Love Lox lockers are really beautiful.
They sure are, you’ll also find Engraver Guild have some great options too so make sure you take a look at both!!
Jana Reinhardt look really nice and I love that they do animals that are harder to come by
Me too, there are some gorgeous options on their site x
Some really lovely suggestions here! I’m especially loving the skates – I’ve got my daughter some for Christmas but I was very tempted to get a cute pair for myself.
Go for it. It makes taking her out skating easier if you both have them x
I love the roller skates. I think I’ll get some for myself too!
There are loads of great options, I’ve been looking through at them myself x
Such lovely gifts, I really like the looks of the skates for my daughter, we actually have a roller skating rink near by so when the weather isn’t too great we could go there it would save so much money instead of renting them out. Also loving the scooters as my daughter has outgrown her one.
These guys will have everything you could possibly need, they’re great!
I love things like buy a gift vouchers when it’s someone that’s hard to buy for! Easy and useful
It can really be a life saver!
I particularly love the idea of the My Chronicle Book Box. I adore reading and how fantastic to have a subscription box dedicated to that. What an absolute treat!
I know, it is such a great gift idea!
My favourite is the LOVELOX London heart locket. I think it is the nicest one I’ve seen.
It is gorgeous!!! You have fabulous taste Jeanette.
So many gift ideas to choose from for Christmas
It is great there are so many lovely items to choose from.
Lovely gift guide – have a lovely Christmas
Thanks Emily, you too!
I love gift guides they are huge help when it comes for finding something for either my partner or my mother in law. Although I tend to always add something to my own want list haha x
Ha, yes it is easy to forget you are shopping for others sometimes.
A great selection of potential Christmas gifts here – I would like to go on a Red Letter Days glamping trip 🙂 The Zavvi jumpers also look cool.
A glamping trip could be fun. The jumpers are great my son has some.
Red Letter Days is great for trying some new things.
They sure do have some wonderful activities!!!!!
A really useful gift guide with some ideas for gifts I’ve never thought of buying before, like the engraved watch and the animal earrings. thank you
Thanks for visiting Mandy. I’m glad you enjoyed reading the guide.
some really good gift ideas here! I have to say buya gift is an awesome one as giving someone an experience is just amazing!
It really is a great gift option.
Fantastic ideas for the people who are incredibly hard to buy for and I’ve got more than you can imagine! Experiences can be really helpful to gift.
They sure can. And the options are varied.
Too much choice!
It helps to have a good variety of options.
Some gifts on here I wouldn’t have thought of, but would be just perfect. I think a locket for my niece to remember her cousins far away, and that awesome Marvel Christmas jumper for the twin boys. Mummy might need some roller skates! Thank you so much for the suggestions.
Thanks so much for visiting!!! I’m so pleased that you liked my suggestions. Looks like that’s a fair few gifts sorted.
I love the jane reinhart necklaces . Perfect Christmas gifts
Those do make lovely gifts.
What absolutely beautiful items, had a good read through – ab fab!
Thanks Laura, I’m glad you enjoyed the post x
There are some great prezzie ideas here for a wide range of products. I will certainly take some tips.
It helps to have options.
Lots of great ideas on here 🙂
Thanks so much. I’m glad you liked the post.
love reading gift guides great way to get ideas for the family. red letters day is great idea for the family members that have everything
They really do have a wonderful range of experience options.
Ohh what fantastic ideas. I particularly love the electronic WiFi photo frame. I remember buying my mum an electronic one when they first came out and it was a big hit but I hadn’t realised how much technology had moved on. Being able to send photos to it from anywhere in the world would be amazing. We love to travel and my sister lives in Spain, my mum would love getting random photos beamed straight to her from me and my sister 💗
They really do make lovely gifts.
So many fantastic gift ideas here – you have given me some inspiration!
I’m so pleased. Hopefully that’s most of your shopping covered!!!
Some great gifts love the lockets, Red Letter Days and Buyagift are handy to get somebody a nice treat like a cream tea and really good prices if you are signed up they often give discounts.
They sure are great companies. The experience gifts can be great and as you said you do get emailed discounts!!!
I need a new Xmas jumper! The Zavvi ones look great. My whole family like to wear them on Xmas day.
They are fantastic!!! I love there are so many options.
I love to read your blog posts, particularly this one as it has given me some ideas for Christmas gifts. Some friends have finished their Christmas shopping with everything wrapped, I’ve barely even thought about it but I did buy my dog his Christmas gift today, a squeaky rabbit, I’m sure I’ll regret that on Christmas morning lol. Keep them coming!
Ha. Yes, I’m sure you will regret that. I hope this guide has helped with the other gifts.
Thanks for the ideas- my husband is going to love a book box!!!! What an amazing idea- hope someone thinks of it for me.
That’s great, one less gift to buy!!!
This would take care of most of my Christmas shopping. I love Red Letter Days and Buyagift great bargains to be had in their spa days and breaks.
They do have a great range and are really well priced.
What a lovely selection of gifts, I find gift giving gets harder and each year, especially with people being more conscious about waste etc. Experience prizes are such a great choice – making memories are priceless
They sure are. Those can sometimes make the most amazing gifts.
There are some really good ideas here which cover all memebers of the family & all budgets.
Thanks Alison, it helps to have a varied selection to choose from.
What a fantastic gift guide, I’m even more excited for Christmas now! That watch would make a nice gift.
It sure would. Great choice!
Lots of great gifts for everyone, I particularly like the Lovelox lockets, that’s going on my wish list!
That is such a lovely item to gift Lorraine. Make sure you drop lots of hints if you want one for yourself.
This is a great gift guide, I would like all of these gifts for myself. The books and Red Letter Day in particular. Some great ideas on here. Visited this blog quite a few times and always seen some great ideas.
Thanks so much Jo. I really appreciate that. Thanks for revisiting x
I really like some of the products you picked, going to add some to my list especially the skateboard!
That’s great Robin. I’m so glad to have helped.
Hello, this is a great gift guide, there are lots of different things, I think my favourite is the My Chronicle Book Box as I love reading as well! It would be exciting to have a new book sent!
It is such a lovely gift for anyone that loves to read.
The book box looks wonderful and would be great to get introduced to new authors or books I wouldn’t ordinarily read. The Jana Reinhardt jewellery is beautiful too.
Those are both great gift options. It helps to get a little inspiration when buying gifts.
I like the Jana Reinhardt cat ring its simply so very cute and so unusual! I also like the hummingbird earrings.
They have the most wonderful product options!!!
A really good range of ideas love the book box! thanks for the giveaway
The book box makes a great gift x
The men’s accessories are a good idea as I need to buy a few men’s gifts. Also, love the frame what a lovely idea.
Thanks Jamie. I’m glad you liked the suggestions.
Would love to try the aromas! They look great!
They really are lovely x
I love the Lovelox Round Filigree Locket With Sapphire Stone. It is so delicate and unusual.
Lovelox have some gorgeous products on their site.
If only this was available every year. It is hard to chose today there is so much available. Thank you
Thanks Louisa. Feel free to visit again next year for more inspiration. I do these each year.
Oohh lovely prizes! The Lovelox jewellery is gorgeous and the Jana Reinhardt collection looks stunning! Plus so much choice with BuyaGift and many other fab prizes too!
These are all lovely prizes. Only the best for my readers!!!

Those really are great gift options.
There are some great gift ideas there I especially like the red letter boxes I’m getting quite excited for Christmas now.
Me too, it’s not long now!!!
Not a fan of Christmas jumpers, but i do like the ones on this post.
They are great, there are even more on the site. Loads of really lovely ones to choose from.
I do love gift guides but I always end up wanting to buy everything for myself as well as for my friends. Thanks for the ideas. Love the engraved gift idea.
Engraved gifts are a great way to personalise them.
Some really good gifts you have got me all exiting for Christmas
Not long now!!!
Thanks for the idea of the book box, I’m thinking of a quarterly subscription for my book mad sister who loves to lose herself in a book.
Ha, that’s perfect. Looks like her gift is sorted!
The Chronicle Book Box looks so good! I’ve not heard of it before but I love finding new ways to discover authors and books I’ve not read yet
It is a really lovely gift idea x
I love Christmas, but find it hard to get some people presents, so a guide with help on some fantastic gift ideas is needed. Thank you for this. I need to buy a few children’s gift this year. A scooter would be good and some games. The dinosaur toy might be ideal.
Those are all great gift options. Good luck with the rest of the shopping xxx
There are some great gift ideas on here, thankyou. I always put money by during the year to cover Christmas (and 2 December babies birthdays) but I’m struggling for inspiration in what to actually buy. I will definitely be looking at some of the companies you have mentioned.
I’m so pleased you found this helpful. Have fun shopping!!!
Always lost for ideas to what to give so this has inspired me this Xmas
I’m so pleased to have helped Chirag.
this has given me alot of ideas for my family and friends
That’s great to hear Elaine. Have fun shopping.
What an amazing selection, there are some great ideas. The mens bracelet looks good.
You need to check out the website, there are loads of great ones on there.
I love the LoveLox jewellery – but I am a bit of a magpiewhen it comes to bling! Experience vouchers are a great gift – I got my nephew paintballing one year and he had an absoloute blast!
Oh wow, paintballing does sound like fun!!!
My Chronicle Book Box looks amazing, such a good idea!
It sure is. I love the idea of gifting books to some of my friends as they looooove to read!!
I’ve been thinking about getting a digital photo frame for a while, this Christmas may be the time!
It would be perfect timing. They are lovely. It’s so nice to see the pictures coming up and new ones that you or your family have sent to the frame.
I love the gift guides as they show me new ideas for those hard to buy for people aka my adult children. Some fabulous suggestions and ideas I will be using this year. I need to buy a skate board for one child.
Skateboards can be great to help children stay active.
Amazing gift guide. Would count myself very lucky to get any of these. Love the hummingbird earrings!
That Victoria. They are lovely gifts.
I love the rose gold pendant from LOVELOX. It’s so pretty, time to drop some hints to my hubby!
It sure is, good luck!!! Sometimes you need to make it super obvious x
All of the items featured in this blog are brilliant. The lockets and penguin necklace are cute
Jewellery can make a really lovely gift.
I love these ideas, especially the Jana Reinhardt cat necklace. 😊
I love their animal range. They have some really cute products.
Thanks for the great article, so many ideas for presents.
Thanks for visiting Adrian, I’m glad you liked the post.
Such a fab collection of gifts here. I love the book boxes, they’re a fab idea

Some good ideas here. I love the Jana Reinhardt jewellery.
Me too it’s lovely xxx
Some great ideas for Christmas presents. I’m always stuck for what to buy some people.
Thanks Claire, sometimes we just need a little inspiration xxx
I’m someone who always struggles for ideas for presents, so I’m always on the look out for guides or ideas. The book box, wax melts and necklaces sound great.
Those are all lovely gifts. Have fun buying your presents x
Lots of lovely gift ideas. I would love the Jana Reinhardt necklace
That is a great option it is lovely x
I love Jana Reinhardt’s jewellery. I’d be very happy to find one of her pieces underneath the tree.
