On the site, there are currently Build-it Boxes packed full of Lego but costing a fraction of the price at £19.99!!!

This is a really lovely concept that is environmentally friendly and is amazing value for money. We all know single-use plastic is bad for the environment. In the UK we only recycle 45% of plastic. 55% ends up in landfills or the ocean. With Christmas approaching, parents may be concerned about their household receiving more plastic gifts, some of which may end up thrown away. The Build-it-Box is a great gift for Lego fans and also a good sustainable one.
These boxes contains 700 random pieces of pre-loved Lego® so kids, or adults, can get creative with their designs. Each box contains a random selection of genuine LEGO® bricks, parts, and pieces. This means that it’s easy to make one-of-a-kind builds. Each box will also include at least 2 Minifigures and 1 brick separator. This pre-loved Lego is all cleaned and sanitised before being sent out.
This Lego will last for ages, it can be used repeatedly, and when it is no longer something that will be used, it can either be passed on to others, or sold back to the company.

This product is clinically proven to nourish skin, seal in moisture, improve skin appearance, reduce wrinkles and improve radiance and leave skin feeling silky soft to the touch.

A Liledu Toy Subscription
For babies, an eco-friendly Montessori-based toy subscription from Liledu which recently launched in the UK might make the perfect gift. This is a really great gift idea that not only takes the guesswork and hassle out of toy shopping it also helps to keep toy waste out of landfills.
This monthly play & swap subscription is available from £27.99 a month.

Useful gifts can be just what some people want. You’ll find a wide range of men’s clothing options over on Slater Menswear where they have everything from suits, trousers, shirts, jackets, casualwear, shoes and more. Sketchers is a well know brand and also a very popular one too. For those that might benefit from footwear that is easy to slip on, the Sketchers Summits Slip on Trainers from Slaters could be the perfect gift. It’s certainly one to consider and is an item that will get a lot of use.
The Sketchers Summits Slip on Trainers
These are a super convenient 100% vegan trainer option. They look great for a start. The trainers have their exclusive heel pillow. This helps to hold the foot in place.

My favourite luxurious gift option is a must for beauty fans. A Silk Pillow Case and Eye Mask. This is a perfect gift option for beauty fans. The use of these can provide positive benefits to skin and the hair. They are also comfortable, and feel cool to the touch even when it is hot at night which can be really nice. They make the perfect practical and luxurious gift for women and also men!!!
Why Silk!
We all know that silk products are great for the skin, but do you know why? Well, it’s because unlike the cotton variety they don’t pull at the skin. This means that they don’t cause lines. Silk will also resist dirt and as a result bacteria does not spread around the pillow case and cause acne. Silk also does not absorb moisture unlike cotton which means skin and hair do not become as dry overnight. You’ll wake up with more hydrated skin and hair than with a cotton pillow. These can also be very soothing for those with skin conditions such as eczema.
Let’s not forget the silk eye mask that is also part of the set. This too doesn’t absorb moisture it also won’t dry out the delicate skin around the eyes when in use. This too doesn’t pull the skin so helps avoid crows feet. It can help you get a more rested nights sleep as it cuts out light from the room that increases as morning light enters the room.
Silk Pillowcase and Eye Mask Specifics
The set has been available on the site for years and is a very popular gift option. This is available in a variety of colours and one standard size. The price varies according to the colour option chosen. The eye mask and pillowcase are made from 100% pure grade A 16 momme mulberry silk. They make a truly lovely gift that many would appreciate receiving this Christmas.
A Yummy Kids Chocolate Calendar from Playin Choc

Great Shades of Earthy Nail Polish
Nail varnish is something many of us like to wear daily. Who doesn’t like to go out and about with pretty nails. Some might even go that extra step and paint their nails a particular colour to complement an outfit or add some sparkle especially over the Christmas and New Years Eve period. It’s important to remember, not all nail varnish brands have products that are of a good quality. Consumers have been increasingly concerned about the beauty products that they are using and are opting for items that are more natural, environmentally friendly and cruelty free.
Earthy fits all of these criteria plus they’re vegan too!!! There are plenty of great shades to choose from the site. You can buy shades individually or opt for gift sets. With the gift sets, I really like the colours included in the Here Comes The Sun set. Here you’ll discover a range of pretty pastels. It makes a really lovely gift, great stocking filler, or addition to a homemade hamper gift. Don’t forget the base, top coat and 100% Acetone / Acetate free and 99% natural Remover!!!
Here Comes The Sun
I do really love the pastel shades included in this gift set. They include Cherry Blossom which is a lovely light pink, Icelandic Blue – a lovely light ice blue colour, Dreamy Peach – a pretty warm nude, and Nailture Green – a sage green. They are ideal for daily wear.
Nail polishes from Earthy are of certified natural origins, plant based, biosourced, 21 free (free from the 21 potentially harmful chemicals found in poor quality nail polish), and they improve the condition of your nails. The nail polishes all have a lovely high shine and are very long lasting when used alongside the Earthy top and base coats.
So if you are shopping for yourself or someone else this Christmas and want to buy this essential clean beauty product you’ll find plenty over on the Earthy website. All products have their eco friendly and recyclable packaging giving just another fab reason why we should buy your nail care and nail polishes from them.

A Fabulous Potted Plant from Beards and Daisies
Who doesn’t love plants! They look so pretty within the home and would you believe, they can also help calm the mind so are a great product to have around the home to help keep you feeling zen. As having plants within the home can have such a positive effect on mental health it is essential to try to have some in the home all year around, even more so over the winter months where we are more at risk of SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Plants come in all sorts of sizes, colours, shapes etc. They make a fabulous gift to give especially at Christmas.
Beards and Daisies have a wonderful selection of plants over on their site. They make shopping for plants easy with their clearly set out sections. There are a range of indoor plants, large plants, easy care options, pet safe plants, pots, cut flowers, unkillable, and more. They even have plant bundles available.
One option that stood out for me was the:
Kentia Palm
This gorgeous, green leafy plant makes such a fabulous addition to any living room, or a bathroom with a window. The Kentia Palm is a super easy plant to look after and is fine in a room where there is low light. This gorgeous lush green plant is available on the website in five different sizes. The smallest plant size available is 70-80cm and the tallest option is 170-180cm. You can also buy a pot for your plant. These are available at varying prices. The reviews for this are great, with 95 out of 108 giving this a 5 start review on the website.
Beards and Daisies are currently offering 20% off all of the large plants available on the website. This is certainly something to take advantage of if you are looking to gift a plant or plants to a plant lover this Christmas.
A Stunning Handmade Necklace from Xander Kostroma
Xander Kostroma is a lovely small business that I know many of you will love. They have a varied range of products available on their website many of which are crystal related.

You will also find a very varied selection of gua sha stones which are great for contouring and sculpting the face. They also sell crystal mystery boxes, skull tote bas and a lovely range of crystal jewellery from anklets, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and more.
It can be quite a talent to create handmade jewellery. Yet, not all can create beautiful unique pieces. Xander Kostroma have a fantastic range of jewellery options over on their site that will make gifting this Christmas to any crystal lover easy. I selected one of my favourites to suggest as a gift:
925 Sterling Silver Moonstone Teardrop Necklace
This stunning piece is hand made by one of the in-house jewellery makers. It has a 925-sterling silver ball chain which is just the right length and attached is a Moonstone teardrop pendant in a silver tone. Like all the jewellery, each item is unique due to the natural materials and form used. It is such a great touch to have something that is unique to its owner. Moonstones are beautiful stones which symbolise feminine energy and also love, healing and protection. This stone is said to enhance the wearers creativity, calm their emotions, and to also balance the energies of the body and the mind.
The stone itself is a semi precious gem that has a beautiful pearl like sheen. It has an eye-catchingly unique glow and can appear in a rainbow of colours when light passes through the different layers of the stone. The necklace will arrive beautifully gift-wrapped as standard, ready to gift to a loved one. Alternatively, keep if for yourself as it’ll be love at first sight when you see it in person. It might be best to buy a few items if you are looking to gift to increase the odds of you being able to part with these stunning pieces.
Amazing Project #173 Rum Drinks
Rum, is normally an ingredient in a much loved favourite, the pina colada as well as a range of other yummy cocktails. But now, it is evolving. Rum used to be limited to one flavour option with a number of variations but now the flavour options have expanded. Kent-based craft rum brand Project #173 have a growing number of flavoured rums available on the Master of Malt site for us to enjoy. Other flavours include: Black Cherry; Chocolate; Banana; Gingerbread; Butterscotch; Pumpkin Spice; Pineapple; Smoked Chilli; Coffee; Coconut; Salted Caramel and more. Trying to pick just the one flavour is difficult but try to consider the taste of the individual you are looking to gift when deciding.
Project #173 Coconut Rum 50cl
The Project #173 Coconut Rum with its gorgeous exotic flavour of coconut is a fabulous drink to combine in a range of different fruit juices so you can create your own delicious cocktails at home. It is perfect for a wide range of yummy cocktails although I must confess my favourite would probably be pina colada with its lovely creamy texture and exotic flavours.
You can really smell the coconut in the rum as well as hints of sweetness from the brown sugar. Too taste, the predominant flavours include fresh coconut, vanilla and stone fruit. On the tongue lingers the flavour of bounty bars and citrus. The bottle has a simple design with a colourful flick and a piece of 23 karat gold leaf.
Project #173 Gingerbread Rum 50cl
Gingerbread and rum are combined to create a delicious mix of flavours that is suitable for all year round enjoyment. It is especially appropriate for the current season in the Project #173 Gingerbread Rum. This combines spicy and sweet flavours to create a good quality rum that tastes wonderful.
The rum has a lovely aroma of vanilla, ginger, with hints of fruitiness and cinnamon. The flavour of fresh ginger takes centre stage here. It is complemented by orange, molasses and black pepper. The flavours all blend together to create a delicious drink that can be mixed to create a range of yummy drinks from something refreshing yet warming when combined with ginger ale, or something comforting like a hot chocolate. Again, the bottle is finished with a colourful flick and a piece of 23 karat gold leaf.
b.Box Insulated Sport Spout Drink & Water Bottle
This insulated drink bottle keeps kids drinks cool for up to 15 hours or warm for up to 8 hours so you can be sure that kids can stay hydrated all year around. This is a great, thoughtful gift that will provide a lot of use. The bottle is easy to open. There is a push button opening that has been designed to make opening easy for little hands. The easy drinking silicone sport spout top allows for a continuous flow.
This can be used for water, juices, fruit tea and more. The bottle is leakproof (when the lid is closed) so there is no need to worry about leaks in school or work bags.

Padel Rackets
Padel is a sport “posh short” that is rapidly growing in popularity. It originated in Mexico and is like tennis played in doubles in an enclosed court. For this instead, of tennis rackets, padels are used. The game is a combination of tennis and squash. It’s very fast paced, fun and great exercise.

The Kipling Karis S Bag in Denim has to go on my Christmas list I love it and the gingerbread rum sounds very good
Both are wonderful choices for gifting this Christmas
That Stunning Handmade Necklace from Xander Kostroma is simply divine! so minimal but stunning. I could imagine putting it with so many outfits. Will definitely check that company out, thanks!
It is beautiful, they have some really lovely items on the site.
You have such a nice range of ideas here! I’d love the primrose oil, and I know my son would love the headphones!
Those are lovely as gifts and useful too!
I love these! I know some people scoff at socks for Christmas, but for me, there’s nothing better than some comfy feets!
They are a practical and useful gift!
I see several things I’d love to get this year. The Opie jars are definitely top of my list. How can you beat fruity booze?!
OMG, they are sooooo good!!!
Wow, you have so many amazing things here! I need to start shopping for Christmas. I would be all about that chocolate bouquet, and the gift sets are fabulous.
Whose doesn’t love chocolate!!!!
The wickedly hamper looks great! I need it!!!
Hampers make great gifts.
So many wonder gift ideas. I love the BBQ and Mayonnaise selections for my husband. The dressings would be perfect for me. They all sound so yummy. The ultimate feast hamper would be perfect for dad. I must take a closer look at that.
Looks like that’s a few of your Christmas gifts sorted Sandra. Have a great Christmas.
The Manuka Doctor and silk pillow case ideas are especially good. Some great ideas!
Thanks so much Jessica.
So many great gift ideas. My husband needs new headphones for the gym and I do this this pair.
These ones are great and would make a lovely gift!
These are all such amazing gift ideas! I can’t wait to go Xmas shopping and get all of these products for my family and friends. And I can’t believe I didn’t even think of some of these in the first place.
These types of guides make shopping for gifts so much easier. Have fun with your Christmas shopping!!!
Wow wow wow… all is well 🙏 ☺️
☺️
I kinda want headphones for my phone. But I’m not 100% that I would actually use them frequently. I am not planning on buying myself a Christmas gift this year. I’m going to see my new grandson after Christmas. He is due on Dec 15th, my daughter’s birthday.
Headphones can come in handy to have. You could always buy them for a family member and borrow them!!!
These are all cool gift ideas. The chocolate hamper is perfect for loads of people I know. I would give my wife some plants from Beards and Daisies this Christmas.
chocolate hampers and plants can make the perfect gifts for the right people.
The Jumbo Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Bouquet is such a fabulous present as we all love chocolate and it just makes it a little bit more special when it’s presented like this as a gift. I love the sound of the gingerbread rum and the coconut rum. Fabulous gift ideas.
All fabulous options. I hope you are hinting to others what you’d like!
Thank you for sharing all these gift ideas. These are very helpful to me so much.
I’m glad you liked the post Marie.
What a fantastic list of ideas for gifts, I want to treat myself to the Kipling bag I love the denim style. I like the Play in Choc advent calendar too for the kids.
The kids would really love the chocolate. Those make lovely gifts. The bag is lovely, one to keep for yourself!!
Oh wow, such a great gift guide, something for everyone. I really like the looks of the Biovene Barcelona Products, never heard of them before, but I would love to try these out. Love the Welsh Hamper too! I used to have one of those little sweet shops when I was a kid and loved it so much. I brought one for my kids when they where little too. I also used to buy them, the Play on Choc little boxes too.
The products are at a great price at Morrisons so make sure you visit. The Welsh hamper is lovely, such a great selection of products. The sweet shops are really good fun.
This is awesome guide, love the gifts recommendations and I know one of my friends would love to have some of these. Thank you for sharing this amazing guide.
Thanks so much for visiting. I’m glad you liked the suggestions.
Wow I love these ideas. My son would love the rum set! And the zelda calendar
I am sure he would, they do make really lovely gifts.
Wow what a great gift guide full of so many great gift ideas. My daughter loves Kipling bags. I have not heard but love the sound of the Martha Hill Evening Primrose Skin Care Set
That is such a great set. The products are lovely.
This is such a huge list, wow! I have been struggling to think of gift ideas for people. There is definitely a lot of inspiration on here. I am definitely going to get my daughter some new headphones.
I am sure she will get a lot of use out of those!!!
I can’t wait for Christmas, it is going to be so exciting! I hope you have a fab one
Thanks so much, you too!
This may be the only guide I need for gift shopping this year. Great ideas and options for everyone I have to shop for!
Although, you might want to look out for guide 2!! I’m only doing 2 this year.
Thank you for sharing this extensive list on festive gift ideas! I think when choosing the right gift, the key is to think about their personality, lifestyle and general preference.. I think I would quite like a Pick n Mix Sweet Shop!
Ha, me too!!!!!
I appreciate the fabulous gift ideas as you can end up repeating things if you aren’t careful. Love the Edifier Headphones and Biovene Barcelona. Xx
All of those are great. Biovene are ideal for stockings or hampers.
What an amazing selection of things to win. Would love the headphones
Those are a great choice!!
There are some amazing gifts here for everyone, thank you.
But I love the ferrero rocher gift – looks fabulous!!!!
It does, doesn’t it!!!
You’ve rounded up some great gift ideas in here. But if there’s one thing that I would love to have the most is that bouquet of Ferrero Rocher. It’s my favorite chocolate ever!
OMG, that one is pretty amazing isn’t it!!!! What a great gift for any chocolate fan.
What amazing gifts
Thanks Keith. If you want to enter the competition please read the instructions and give it another go.
Fantastic ideas for gifts. Something here for everyone 💖💖💖
There sure is!!!
Such a great gift guide. The Wicked Welsh hamper looks amazing!
It certainly does look amazing and makes a lovely gift x
some lovely ideas there thank you. I particularly like the rum drinks as rum is the only alcohol I drink! Not that I’m looking for a present for myself course!
They have loads of flavour options, you’re gonna love them!!!!
some excellent ideas as I always struggle to find nice presents for my family
Thanks so much, I hope this guide has helped x
Such a great gift guide, i do love the Edifier Headphones
Those do make an awesome gift!!!
These are amazing ideas for Christmas presents and a fantastic giveaway 💖
Thanks so much. I’m glad you liked them.
This is a fantastic post, it must have taken you ages! I really like the Sketchers slip ons, I’ll have to buy myself some. My mum loves beauty products so the mnauka products would be a great present for her, I might get her some.
Ha yes, but the longest part was the back and forth emails and many companies didn’t make it to the featuring stage.
My personal favourite is the chocolate hamper but I’m sure my wife would love the Kipling bag.
Those both make lovely gifts.
Oh, wow! Thank you for this handy summary! There are some great gifting ideas here for all age groups! Link saved x

It can work well, plus making your own is nice too.
Some amazing gift ideas!
Thanks x
OMG, what a fab list ….so many great ideas. I especially love the Karis S denim bag from Kipling and the slip on Skechers. Putting both in my Santa letter for sure 🙂
Those are both fabulous gift ideas. I hope you have been good this year!
The gift ideas in this guide are fantastic! I might have to get a few for myself!
I’m glad you liked the suggestions!
I’m interested in trying the Get Nourished Collagen product. I’ve been thinking about taking Collagen but it’s so expensive and there’s so many different ones out there.
Gummies are an easy way to take collagen
The Ultimate Feast Hamper from Cotswold Gold looks absolutely scrummy!
It is a great gift option
Loving these totally fantastic gifts on your list.. hard to pick favorites but all the skin care options sound wonderful as does that Wickedly Welsh set and i am guessing my DH would want to try out those cool sounding rums..
Wickedly Welsh have gorgeous gift options. The rums are lovely!!
The selection of cozy home items like the throw blankets and scented candles are perfect for creating a festive atmosphere at home. I also really appreciate the range of price points, so there’s something for every budget.
There is definitely something for everyone here.
Love Christmas gift guides makes shopping so much easier
They sure do!!!
I love the ferrero rocher bouquet, what an original idea to give everyones favourite Christmas chocolates.
It is a lovely gift idea x
Thanks for this guide. Like many, I’m always looking for gift inspiration at this time of year and this list has some great ideas. I especially like the evening primrose gift set for some of the more difficult to buy for people on my list.
that is such a lovely skincare set
That has given me a lot of ideas for my family
I’m glad to hear that.
Oh wow there are so many fantastic gifts in this guide! I would love the Feast Hamper, it looks fantastic.

What amazing gift idea’s I love them .

Incredible list. Christmas is my favourite time of the year. My little sister would love this Karis S Bag in Denim from Kipling and the Ailen perfume.
Those would make lovely gifts. Have fun shopping.
Great range of gifts to choose from , would love a Jumbo Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Bouquet
That is such an awesome gift idea.
I like the Kipling bag – great colour and the wireless headphones would be very useful for listening to music

Mel has checked her list now twice, shes never naughty always nice, so thanks to her for a fab pressie spree, I just can’t wait for it under my tree.
Thanks for visiting Elaine
That’s a big list. I know i can finally pick something from here to gift my family and friends. I like that karis Denim bag, bouquet of Ferrero Rocher, silk set my god so many items to choose from.
Ha, it helps to have options!
These are amazing gift ideas. I would love a A Thermapen One as I love cooking but I’m always really paranoid when cooking meat – about undercooking AND overcooking. There is something for everyone on this list though.
Thanks, I do like to vary the ideas as much as possible.
The Edifier WH830NB Headphones would be my favourite item from the guide. I somehow break my headphones far too often so I’m always on the lookout for new ones.
Also, I love rum so that could be interesting. I’m not a fan of coconut so not sure I’d enjoy that one, but the gingerbread rum sounds like it would be delicious an I’m going to have to give that a try at some point.
rum and headphones both make lovely gift options
Love these ideas, especially the plants! Really want to get Christmas gifts sorted so I don’t need to stress all throughout December!
The plants are such a great and different gift idea.
I need a gift for my mother she likes perfume or maybe a rug or a runner
I hope you decide which would be best. Or get her a few items!
You’ve certainly put a lot of thought into choosing these lovely gifts.
Thanks Valerie, there are loads of ideas to suit all requirements.
Love the coconut flavour rum . You can’t miss !
It is a great option!!!
the beer collection is just what i need after a 2024 that was hard work

My dad would love the Ultimate Feast Hamper from Cotswold Gold, and he is normally very difficult to buy for!
Glad to have come across something he’d like x
My wife likes the look of the Collagen+ Age Rewind
That is a lovely option for a beauty hamper or stocking stuffer.
I love the fruits in alcohol and the gingerbread rum! They are right up my street!!
They’re all yummy!!!
Love the CleanCo non alcoholic range. Great for a post Christmas health drive.
Ha, it really is!
Thank you for the post. There are some good gift ideas which I will look into my closely. Particularly the potted plants, and the Welsh sweet treats.

Ha, that sounds like a plan!
As a teatotaller, I like the Clean Co spirit alternatives. I’d love to make some alcohol free cocktails.
They have a great range of drinks, ideal for cocktails.
I love these gift guides each year as they are so helpful for Christmas. It has something for all ages and lots of ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of.
They can come in handy and give plenty of inspiration.
Great gift ideas, sorted stocking fillers, plants for mum and presents for the foodies, not sure about anything for my brothers, we only exchange token gifts and everything I thought they might like is over budget but I’m going to drop a few hints and see.
Good luck with the hint dropping!!!
The Lego sounds perfect for my son. He is a big fan. The skin revive gift box is something I would like for myself.
I’m glad you found some items you liked from the list.

I’m so glad you found something you could gift someone.

Lovely gifts! Thank you for sharing
Thanks Laura
That Wickedly Welsh Chocolate Hamper looks so good!
It does look yummy!!!
the one that caught my eye was Clean Co – being both Diabetic and the designated driver some times you feel like you miss out over Christmas – with 0 alcohol you can have the taste but no issues
That’s very true, this would be ideal for you.
Some really great gift ifeas here, thanks for curating! The photo creator is great, considering that for my niece
It is such a lovely gift idea and one I am sure she will love.
The coconut rum sounds interesting and the fruits in alcohol especially the black cherries

I have been struggling with gift ideas this year. This has been a great help
I’m so glad to hear that. Have fun shopping
My favourite would be the Badminton voucher as my son would love it
That’s great, it is a fun sport!!!
Whoa this is one competition!! I love the build box idea, even if I’m not the lucky winner I have tones of inspiration.
Loads of great gift ideas here!!!!!
My husband has recently got into rum as his his go to drink, and loves trying new varieties. I think he would love these coconut & gingerbread flavours, not to mention the clean version for dry January!
Those would all make wonderful gifts for him for Christmas
Some lovely gifts
There sure are!
I’m glad you liked the suggestions!
I love the idea of preloved jewellery. It’s a great way to recycle!
It can be a lovely option and gives you a lovely variety of designs to select from.
I thought my dad some of the slip on trainers last year. They are great as he struggled to bend down to do laces.
They are a great option and good to have.
I love a good gift guide! The hampers look amazing, and I’d never heard of Liledu before.
Liledu are great if you know anyone or if you have young kids!
Great 👍 👌
☺️
There’s some great ideas there. I think a hamper is good for relations
They sure can be!!
Alien is such a classic timeless perfume I’ve been wearing it for over 15 years and still love it just as much. I get the refills
It is a lovely fragrance
The headphone would be very useful to me as I am starting to lose my hearing
They are a great product.
Some great ideas, love the headphones but also the ferraro Rocher gift, I’d eat that all by myself!
Both make great gifts
A silk pillowcase sounds heavenly. My skin has taken such a battering with the change in hormones (perimeno?) that it would be interesting if this could help my skin. Merry xmas.
They are lovely and great for skin and hair!
Lots of great ideas, I love the kipling bag
It is lovely x
I love the Sketchers Summits Slip on Trainers. I treated myself to a pair a few months ago, and they are the best shoes I’ve ever had. I get breathless and sore bending down to put shoes on, and shoehorns just keep breaking. I can just slide my feet into these slip-on shoes and off I go!
Those make a great gift x
Great items. I love the Potted Plant from Beards and Daisies. Never really been a plant person, but they look so good so I am ready for my first!
They have some gorgeous plants!
The coconut rum and gingerbread rum, I had some pineapple rum not so long ago and it’s a lovely change from “spiced”
These do sound super tasty x

Thank you for the review Amazing Project #173 Rum Drinks. I have a friend who we nicknamed, pirate, because she enjoys rum so much. I like to source new brands for her to try.

You really can. It can be a great gift!

Great post, some brilliant gift ideas although I always avoid gifting clothes unless you know for definite they will be appreciated.
It helps to do some investigative work in advance.
Amazing gift guide… hope I’m lucky 🙂

I love the idea of preloved jewellery – it is a sustainable and cost effective choice too! I love vintage things, and I’d much rather they were authentic. I particularly love the ring example you have shown here -wow!!

They do sound lovely.

I like Ultimate Feast Hamper from Cotswold Gold because it is supporting British business, but also because I like the idea of writing ‘everything you need if you feel like getting saucy!’ on the gift tag :0) I also like the Wickedly Welsh Premium Boxed Luxury Hamper because my family is from Wales and it is a much nicer gift than Welsh Laverbread!
They have some lovely products!
There are some lovely gift options here. My favourite has to be the headphones, which look comfy enough for snuggly audiobook listens in bed.
