After we dipped our toe in the Christmas shopping pool with my Under £10 Beauty Stocking Fillers I thought it was time to go big or go home with a huge, and I mean, massive, Christmas gift guide. With something for everyone!
Items parked with an asterisk (*) have been gifted as samples to feature in this gift guide but I would never feature anything I wouldn’t gift or want to receive myself. Plus, I can’t recommend a delicious gin if I haven’t tasted it, right? Some products also have affiliate links.
Foodie Gifts
AKA buy me anything I can eat or drink and I’ll be happy. I love a foodie gift, who doesn’t? Any excuse to treat yourself to a little bottle of fizz or glass of wine and some amazing snacks, right? Here are some lovely ideas for those food and drink lovers in your life.
First up is Betty’s of York – Who knew that the amazing bakery/deli/sweet-treat Gods Betty’s delivered? Well we found out when we were kindly sent some gorgeous fondant fancies from them the other week as a non-wedding day gift. But how lovely would it be to gift something like this for Christmas?
Candy Kittens are the perfect stocking filler sweets. They’re delicious, most of them are vegan and they *seem* a little healthier than your average Haribo? They offer little jars, multipacks and these super cute stocking-filler sizes.
Another perfect stocking filler would be some Personalised Chocolate from Prezzybox, or how about a jar of traditional US recipe Jackpot peanut butter?
Time for the gins. Why not put together a little hamper with some botanicals, some limes or a cucumber and some higher end tonics with a bottle of Bobby’s Gin* or Mermaid Gin*? Both of these gins are absolutely gorgeous with distinct flavours and stand out bottle that look amazing on anyone’s shelf.
Pet Lover
As a teeny little stocking filler, I absolutely love these personalised baubles for the Christmas tree from Etsy seller The Three Black Rabbits. If you’re after a gift for someone who is pet obsessed or, if you’re the type of person that gives their pets an actual gift then as well as your usual treats and snacks then try the Pet Grooming Kit from Sniffe And Likkit*.
Taking inspiration from fine fragrance trends, the signature Sniffe – ‘Woodland Wonderfur’™ is a rich aromatic woody aroma with calming and soothing properties – perfect for wafting away woofy whiffs and making spaces and places smell… well, just nice!
Their formulas have been specially developed with a powerhouse blend of active ingredients and botanicals that are over 90% natural. Conscious of packaging too, they have combined both luxury and practicality in beautiful silver (recyclable and reusable) aluminium bottles and easy to use tubes – not something to be sniffed at when you are grooming a dog.
Beauty Queen
If the person you’re buying for loves skincare, beauty and all things products then I have a few ideas for you. The Spectrum High Flyer brush set from Boots is the ultimate make-up lover’s gift.
If the person you’re buying for loves to tan then the Madame La La Tanning Products* are ideal. A new brand for them to try maybe? I’m loving the ‘Light’ mousse as it’s perfect for adding a little glow in the winter without being overly ‘fake tanned’ when it’s maybe a bit unnatural to look super tanned! Pop them in a box with a tanning mitt, some moisturiser and a pouch of Pina Colada cocktail and it’s an instant holiday in a box.
Another perfect stocking filler for a girly-girl is this Venus Rose Gold Razor* that I am loving. It’s a necessary purchase for lots of people, me included, and a high quality treat of a razor is a lovely little gift. Maybe pack it into a travel bag with some mini toiletries for the next time they jet away on holiday?
Stationery Freak
If you’re buying for a stationery lover then this Notes & Clips* Stationery Box is absolutely gorgeous. It’s packed full of stickers, a pen, notebooks, note cards and a cute little paper clip – a stationery lovers dream! There are 8 pieces of beautiful white, black and gold stationery in one ready to gift box, all ready laid out for you to gift.
Another stationery gift is a Kikki K personalised planner – get this engraved with your loved one’s initials and it turns into a gift packed with thought. Pop some fancy pens and some cute stickers with motivational quotes on and they’re ready to pen their New Year’s Resolutions!
Finally, the perfect little stocking filler for fragrance lovers is Carfume – a car air freshener in your favourite perfume or aftershave scents – I was gifted this for the gift guide but have already given it to L as an early Christmas surprise because he loves the Creed aftershave scent I’ve gone for and likes his work van to smell delicious of course! There we have gifts for food and drink lovers, beauty queens, pet obsessives and stationery addicts. What more could you need?
