Gift Theme: A Fancy Tipple

A bottle of something nice to drink is a gift fit for many occasions. If you’re looking for something for someone who loves gin, then Principe de los Apostoles Mate Gin from Lochs of Whisky is an excellent choice. It’s a fantastic gin that comes presented in a stunning bottle, perfect for wrapping a bow around and gifting to a loved one.

Principe de los Apostoles Mate is made in Mendoza, Argentina, and said to be Latin America’s first premium gin. It’s made using local yerba mate as one of the botanicals, along with the more commonly seen juniper, peppermint, eucalyptus and pink grapefruit skin. Ideal for a classic gin & tonic. You can also enjoy it with a dash of Cynar, tonic water and a sprig of eucalyptus which is the signature serve.

Gift Theme: Stylish Accessories

Give the gift of style with accessories from goodeehoo. This brand creates beautiful products that are expressions of individuality and flair. Their carefully curated collection brightens both outfits and your day. There are many products to choose from for gifting, like the practical and stunning Urban Voyager travel collection and many stylish smaller bags and accessories. Here you can see the Columbian Cross Body Handbag and the Cinnabar Cosmetic Case.

The handbag is the perfect size and fits everything you need on a daily basis. The slim-line cross-body bag has detachable and adjustable straps, a large slip pocket on the front, and lots of handy compartments on the inside.

The full zip around purse opens up to reveal six card slots and a zipped main compartment, plus lots of extra space. The material is an all-over grained vegan leather combined with silver-toned hardware. This handbag is available in a range of stunning colours. 

The Cinnabar Cosmetic Case makes a wonderful gift. Stylish and practical, it’s great for travel and at home. This clever toiletries bag has a specially designed zip that lets the bag open up flat so that you can easily see and access all your essentials. It’s functional and looks amazing too! 

Like many of the accessories available from goodeehoo, the Cinnabar Cosmetic Case is available in a range of stunning colours to suit different tastes.

For super cute stocking filler, a Seychelles Star Keyring would be perfect. These gorgeous star keyrings are available in 11 gorgeous colours – choose the recipients favourite colour!

Gift Theme: The Ultimate Gardening Tool Kit

Looking for a gift for a keen gardener? Then look no further. This 3 Piece Garden Shears, Lopper and Pruner Set from VonHaus is the ultimate gardening tool kit. 

The set comes with three high-quality tools that all gardeners need for keeping their gardens neat:

• Telescopic Shears 
• Telescopic Loppers
• One-Handed Secateurs/Pruner

These ergonomic and durable tools are made from anti-rust stainless steel and provide premium cutting performance. The shears and secateurs can handle branches up to 2cm thick and the loppers up to 4cm thick. Additionally, the non-slip rubber handles ensure a good grip.

The shears and the loppers are both telescopic, allowing you to reach long-neglected higher branches with ease. The garden shears extend from 33-50.5cm, and tree loppers from 44-77cm (handle length).

Gift Theme: Foodie Design

Now onto a gift for design-loving foodies! T&G’s limited edition Christmas mills make the perfect treasured gift. The range of mills shaped like pine trees (and a snow man!) capture the playful spirit of the festive season and add a dash of magic to every grind… 

Additionally, the stylish mills are crafted from natural wood and feature high-quality non-corrosive and fully adjustable ceramic mechanisms (with a 10-year guarantee). They’re made to last and are very likely to become a beloved kitchen heirloom to enjoy for a long time.

T&G Christmas Tree Salt & Pepper Mills are available in a range of colours and styles. Choose from a natural wood option, add pops of colour to your kitchen for a bold statement with red or green, or keep things minimalistic with black or white. The snowman design is available in natural wood. The designs work well for lots of different interior decors –  from rustic, to Scandi, to minimalist settings.

Gift Theme: A Clever Tech Solution

Next onto a practical and stylish tech solution by Krafted. You might remember seeing Krafted’s Connex in my Father’s Day gift guide earlier this year – it’s a clever all-in-one cable adaptor hub that’s the size of a pocket knife and that can be used for most of your charging needs.

Recently, Krafted released another cool product – the Krafted Couch Charger. Available in three colours (Deep Blue, Matcha, and Latte), this charger drapes elegantly over the arm of your sofa to effortlessly power your phone while you relax. It has a sleek silicone finish with slots for the wireless fast-charging charger and 2m long cable (in matching colour) to keep everything neat and secure. The Couch Charger makes a great gift for anyone who loves innovative tech and stylish solutions.

Gift Theme: Natural Beauty

Next onto a natural beauty treat – a lip kit from dew. dew is an all-natural personal care product line, handmade in small batches in London, UK. The brand has a lovely range of products for hair and skin, made with high-quality ingredients and with a focus on anti-anxiety aromas.

Let’s have a closer look at dew’s lip kit. This set contains everything you need to ensure that your lips are polished, nourished and moisturised. The lip-care products in this set are:

• dusk Lip Balm (7g)
• dawn Lip Balm (10g)
• Chocolate Lip Scrub (21g)
• Overnight Lip Mask (15ml)

The lip balms are contrasting, but both contain Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil and leave lips feeling soft, smooth and supple. The dawn one comes in a tin, contains honey, and is infused with Orange and Spearmint for a sweet and refreshing scent. The dusk one comes as a sphere balm, with a cool packaging design. It contains grapeseed oil and has relaxing scents of Raspberry and Vanilla to soothe stress, anxiety and sleeplessness.

The Chocolate lip scrub exfoliates away dead skin cells, and provides nourishing nutrients and hydration to lips. It also helps even out skin tone while softening and soothing lips. It’s fabulously chocolate scented with vanilla for its calming properties.

If lips are dry and chapped (or to simply keep lips healthy and happy) treat them to dew’s Overnight Lip Mask which is an intensely hydrating balm. It’s best used right before bed to allow the ingredients to work overnight. It has a light, fresh lemon scent which is a calming, anti-anxiety aroma to help improve mood and reduce stress.

Gift Theme: Scrumptious Scents

I love luxurious scented candles – I love to use them and I love to give them to loved ones too. A nice candle with a scent and style that you just know the recipient will love makes a wonderful gift.

Wildrace makes luxury soy candles that are hand-poured here in the UK. The brand blends sustainability and luxury and aims to inspire more Wild into people’s lives through their beautiful scents. Additionally, the brand is also proud to support female owned businesses where possible and always UK based businesses. 

Wildrace’s vegan candles are available in a stunning range of clean scents – delicious scents inspired by baked goods (croissant, pain au chocolat, banana bread, gingerbread, and more), nature-inspired aromas (for example Wild Mountain Thyme, Forest Rainstorm, Cornish Surf), cosy and relaxing home scents (Duvet Day, Sweet Dreams, Before Bed, and more), and fun themed candles like Wildrace’s “I’d Rather Be…” collection.

Each Wildrace candle is housed inside a reusable amber glass jar with a lid and has a lead-free cotton wick, presented in a cute themed box perfect for gifting. All Wildrace candles are also paraben-free, phthalate-free, and toxin-free wax, so you can enjoy your candles without worrying about headaches, hormone disruptors, carcinogens or other hidden nasties.

Here, you can see the Buttery Croissant Candle. This pastry scented candle smells amazing of vanilla milk, brown butter, and salted butter. It’s sweet and enticing and perfectly captures the scent of a French bakery! This candle and this scent is ideal for anyone who loves baked goods.

Gift Theme: A Powerful Kitchen Gadget

Healthy eating is made easy with the VonShef UltraBlend Smoothie Maker. This powerful high-performance blender is faster than a bullet and fiercer than a ninja. 

Features include a powerful 1000W motor combined with 25,000 RPM speed and razor-sharp 301 stainless steel pro extractor blades. This makes the blender fast and efficient as it blitzes fruit and veg with ease. It can also pulverise seeds, stems and skins to ensure you make the most of all those important nutrients. Ice is not a problem either!

This impressive and versatile blender is great for making healthy smoothies, protein shakes, soups and more. It comes with a BPA-free large 800ml cup and medium 500ml cup along with one spill-proof lid and one sip & seal lid. The accessories have a sleek design and are sturdy but lightweight to be easy to carry. 

Gift Theme: Luscious Locks

Give the gift of healthy and hydrated hair with the luxurious Mayraki Moisturize and Repair Hair Care Gift Set. Mayraki’s vegan hair products are amazing and I especially love their Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment which makes hair feel like silk in just seconds.

This gift set contains a big tub of the Weightless Essential Oil Nutritive Treatment along with the Ultra-repairing & Weightless Moisture Shampoo. This duo works wonderfully together and is perfect for restoring hair to its glory. This hair pampering gift set is the perfect treat for a good friend, family member or yourself this Christmas.

Gift Theme: DIY Painting Made Easy

Last but not least, a handy tool that makes DIY painting a breeze – the VonHaus 400W Spray Gun. Whether you are painting walls, ceilings or radiators indoors or painting fences or decking in the garden, this will make the process much easier and faster. 

The VonHaus 400W Spray Gun ensures an even application and a smooth unblemished finish for both solvent/oil-based paints and emulsion/water-based paints. This spray gun has flexible paint settings for spray patterns and volume flows to suit different projects and their needs. Additionally, it’s easy to dismantle and clean using the included cleaning accessories.
