So there are a zillion gift guides going around – including my Top 10 toys for kids guide here! – but how do you whittle it all down and choose wisely to ensure a beaming smile and brownie points for you on Christmas Day?
I’ve got it covered, in five easy steps, plus a sprinkling of stocking fillers for good measure – someone is going to be in the good books, I guarantee it!
1. Snapfish Personalised Canvas
Straight in at number one is something personal. Nothing gives great gift better than a tug at the heart strings and if you take a special moment you’ve shared and immortalise it on canvas, it’s going to be a winner every time! I go to Snapfish for mine and I get a great result every time.
They’ve got tons of other options if canvas isn’t your thang, calendars, photo cuchions, photobooks.. the options are endless!
How cute is this canvas I have hanging in my kitchen? It’s actually Harry when he was a baby, actually swimming properly underwater, the look on his face is priceless!
2. Elizabeth Grant 12-piece limited edition gift set £64.99
Spoil her skin with a little luxury and it doesn’t get more luxe than Elizabeth Grant skincare. All about the sea vitamins, nutrients and minerals, this brand sells out faster than a Hatchimal.
This ultimate 12 piece bumper skincare collection including a range of serums, creams, treatments, shower and body lotions to help her indulge in every way possible. From Day Serums, Night Creams, Eye Treatments and more, she is going to feel like a whole new woman with this one-off bumper set.
My mum has this in her presents this year – don’t tell her! – she is a mahoosive fan of the brand and I know her eyes will light up when she sees these goodies!
3. Wilnelia Forsyth Luxury Candle £55
For a touch of posh perfume, look no further than this slow burner, hand-poured in England using a premium 100% natural blend and an unusually high proportion of natural oils, Wilnelia Forsyth London (a.k.a. Brucie’s Missus!) uses only the finest available ingredients and fragrance. Lady Forsyth has distilled the essence of timeless glamour into a beautiful matt black jar which also comes with an elegant gold polished lid that can be used as either a candle coaster or an extinguisher.
The Celebration candle is a one-of-a kind with a 1950’s vintage inspired scent of Rose, Bergamot and Jasmine notes followed by the earthy aromas of Patchouli and Sandalwood and a beautifully subtle shade of Frankincense; creating an ambience of elegance and delicate extravagance. * Read on for your chance to win one of these babies!
4. Demijohn, The Liquid Deli – Rum, Vodka & Wine Liqueur Set £43.75
For a festive cocktail of dreams, make sure you get on trend and gift her the latest lipsmacker. Rum is the new gin, don’t you know, and this Christmas cocktail is perfect for a girls night in, or night out pre-drinks. The bottles can be personalised with your message which is a super sweet touch.
5. Freya Pandora Noir £34 & £15
Its so refreshing if you buy undies we’d actually choose for ourselves rather than some strapped up, impractical duo for your pleasure. So make sure Freya is your one stop shop because you just can’t go wrong here when each combo is cuter than the next. I love their smalls and I’d be so thrilled to unwrap any of their combos.
Stocking fillers….
Mermaid Blanket Blue Vanilla £29
There are few greater pleasures than snuggling up and catching the latest episode of your fave box set, so show her you care to cuddle by gifting her one of these on-trend cosies this Christmas.
I have been dropping hints for one in any colour for ages now, I will need to see if I’m on the good list!
Mug Cakes Book, Ideal World £4.99
If she has a sweet tooth, this fab little book of mug cakes from Ideal World is choc full of time-saving sweet treats you can enjoy together, tin a jiffy.
I love this because it feeds my control freak nature and OCD in one so when I let the kids bake, this means no mess, no fuss!
I love all of these goodies, I hope they are winners with your woman.
So, excitingly, Wilnelia Forsyth and I have teamed up to offer you the chance to win one of their stunning candles worth £55. As always, simply enter the Rafflecopter below and good luck!
