Christmas Gift Guide

It’s that time of year again, where if you haven’t already, you need to get ordering your Christmas presents! Perhaps you’re looking for ideas or maybe inspiration. Below you’ll find a mixture of gift ideas and special touches for the big day.

Carfume

I have the Christmas Tree scent and I absolutely love this style of bottle. I’ve only ever previously had they’re traditional design.

‘The unmistakable aromas of pine, fir and cedar blend to create this divine fragrance.’ It was really easy to add as little or as much fragrance as you’d like to the glass jar. It has a wooden, screw on top which absorbs the fragrance.

Each Carfume comes boxed and has a gift bag option available too! Buy yours here.

Sock Crackers

Sock Crackers are an eco-friendly and fun way to decorate your table this Christmas! Read my full review here.

Crackers start at £3.50 for adult sizes. You can choose from fun, festive or eco socks. The crackers are made from recycled, recyclable paper. They are tied up with string, not elastic bands and the delivery packaging is also eco-friendly and as small as it can be.

Additionally, you can choose to have names as decoration on the outside and then use them as place settings at the table. What I really like, is that customers are allowed to buy crackers singly rather than being restricted to specific pack numbers. – Sock Crackers

The Dark Imp – Coaster Games

Picture this, your guests are waiting for the main course. All of the crackers have been pulled, but the food isn’t quite ready. The Dark Imp have created reusable games on cardboard coasters in a little pack. All are playable with 2+ players.

They’re bright and attractive, with the rules are on one side and the game on the other. They’re plastic free too! I really like the Ice Cream Truck game, which is all about risk taking! – £6.99 The Dark Imp

Bunch Skincare

Developed by a qualified pharmacist, Bunch Skincare produces vegan-friendly, natural and biodegradable products. Where possible, organic ingredients are also used. I like that the products use minimal ingredients, avoiding a never-ending list of additives. The packaging is glass with convenient pump-dispensers, perfect to be reused when empty as flower vases! Products are suitable for both men and women and any skin tone. 

The body oil featured is a light and fast-absorbing organic body oil with juniper, mandarin, geranium, and rosemary.  With regular use, this organic body oil can help eliminate toxins and pollutants from your body, tone, moisturise, revitalise and nourish your skin. It also aims to improve circulation and tighten the skin, targeting cellulite and stretch marks. – £40

Tweezerfile™
How many of you have purchased a new pair of tweezers because your old ones are blunt? Tweezerfile is the market leader for tools to sharpen tweezers. Not only does this save you the money in the long term, but it’s better for waste and the environment too.

Tweezerfile™ has a contoured handle and diamond plated stainless steel blades on both sides and is available for £19.99. It’s really easy to use, you move your tweezers up and down the blades, applying equal pressure. In no time at all, my tweezers were rejuvenated.

It also doubles as a nail file! What a great, useful stocking filler (and handbag essential).

Jane Austen Box Set

I purchased this as a gift for my Mum. She’s read them many times over the years and owns a variety of published versions. But, I really liked the idea of updating her collection with a matching collection.

They have a soft cover, with embossed detail. Each spine has a slightly different design, but when put together, they all link. – £50 Amazon

Lush

Every year I ask for Lush bath bombs. I seriously don’t think you can have too many. I love discovering the new styles and designs and they go all out at Christmas.

By Beauty Bay Palettes

Beauty Bay released their own makeup line – By Beauty Bay. I love their forty-two-colour eyeshadow palettes, with six step-by-step looks and what’s more, they’re all vegan friendly and PETA certified cruelty free. The Origin palette is a fantastic neutral palette, great for both night and day looks with a combination of matte, metallic, and duo-chrome shades. The fall out was minimal and the pigmentation really good. Read more here.
