I have included a list of my favourite Christmas Gifts for her if your hoping for some inspiration. It’s been a tough year for many of us, so make sure you pamper all those ladies in your life with lovely presents this Christmas. I have included something for all budgets, so however much you have to spend you will find something suitable here.

Wine

You might have read my post about gifting wine, which will give you some advice if you’re unsure which bottle to pick. Please don’t blindly just pick a bottle based on the picture on the label, check out the award winners and look at the vintage and whether its handcrafted or estate grown. I can recommend Le Camarde Negroamaro & Primitivo 2016 (£14.83) it’s a bronze medal winner and a well developed wine with interesting hints of vanilla and chocolate.

Alternatively browse the Independent Wine site where you can find more quality wines, they also offer free gift wrap on your wine orders which is one less thing to worry about!

Slipper Boots

What better gift than women’s slipper boots to keep cosy this winter.  As the temperature drops I don’t have to feel cold and miserable. Instead slipper boots mean my feet are toasty even with walking on our cold laminate floors.

Bedroom Athletics have been making luxury slippers since 2007. They were especially keen to combine comfort with style, going on the lovely range of slipper boots on the site they have definitely achieved that. Only the best materials are used such as high-density faux fur and Sherpa fleece, meaning they are super soft but also durable. Given the superior quality you will be pleasantly surprised to find these slipper boots are very reasonably priced starting from just £15.

Alongside slipper boots they also have dressing gowns and snugly throws to fend off the winter chills and relax in style!

Opies Accompaniments

Opies delicious accompaniments make ideal gifts. I really loved the selection I was sent. Especially the fruits with alcohol which make great stand-in products when you need to whip up an amazing dessert in a hurry. Included in my delivery was lots of amazing recipe cards too, apparently Opies pickled walnuts can help make the best ever sausage rolls! I have never tried pickled walnuts before, so I looking forward to that taste sensation.

Opies use only the best ingredients to deliver more flavour to your desserts, meals and drinks. Whether you enjoy a cheeky cocktail at Christmas or want pickles to go with your cheese board, Opies have a fabulous range of products that make whatever you are planning that bit more special. The company has been around since 1880 and in that time their products have become firm family favourites.

Why not make up a hamper of accompaniments to gift a foodie. Or perhaps whenever you buy a bottle of spirits as a gift make sure you also include a jar of Opies cocktail cherries and sliced lemons to complete the present.

Personalised Candle

Kindred Fires have some gorgeous scented personalised candles which make the most fantastic Christmas gifts for her. Whether the candle is for your mum, sister, or close friend they will appreciate the thoughtful gesture of personalisation. These luxury candles really do make the perfect festive gift. Especially when you pick out the Orange and Cinnamon scent like I did! It was heavenly.

The Mum Christmas Gift Candle costs £16. But I think its worth every penny. You see a lot of love goes into making these candles, the ingredients are natural soy wax and premium fragrance oil. The candles are hand poured and packaged my hand. So, you are getting a superior experience from start to finish.

Hamper

Bradfords Bakers have some tempting hamper gifts. This bakery was founded back in 1924 and has been impressing people with its sweet delicacies ever since. We were sent the Rudolph Christmas Gift Box (£46.90) which comes highly recommended by everyone here. It was full to the brim with tasty Christmas treats, so plenty included for the price.

The Rudolf Chocolate Fudge Cake was very cute as was the handmade Rudolf biscuit. They really were the highlights of the delivery, something to make Christmas more memorable. As for the mince pies they were so good I didn’t share which is most unlike me. Just make sure you order close to Christmas as some of the freshly made items have short dates. Although with baked goods this appetizing, they were never going to last very long anyway!

You can also order indulgent cupcakes and donuts from their site. So, if the lady your shopping for this Christmas has a sweet tooth you know they will be very well catered for by Bradfords Bakery. I think the Bear Hugs Cupcakes look particularly adorable! So, if you are buying a gift for the love of your life this Christmas, she might appreciate those.

Hand Lotion

Lovegrove Essentials have the most amazing hand and body lotions. I was sent the limited-edition winter duo which costs £12.50. This mini’s set makes an attractive Christmas gift for her as it comes in its own gift bag with a nice ribbon attached. These luxurious hand lotions are organic and made with pure essential oils. Alongside softening the skin, they have lots of added health benefits. I liked the orange & ginger variety best as it was a warming lotion. Perfect for soothing joints on cold winter days and the refreshing citrus fragrance really helped lift my spirits.

Pampering Goodies

I am always fond of Baylis & Harding and they have excelled themselves with their Christmas gift line up. Let me introduce you to some of the beautiful fragrances, gorgeous packaging, and affordable prices.

Younger girls will love the Beauticology Unicorn Fizzers Set (£15), which includes 5 bath fizzers and a tub of bath salts. Whilst the Baylis and Harding Sweet Mandarin and Grapefruit Christmas Tree of Treats Giftset (£20) is a bit of a showstopper gift with the golden glitter tree design. This fragrance is ideal for balancing your mood! Let’s be honest I think we all need a bit of that with what 2020 has thrown at us!

The Sweet Mandarin and Grapefruit Festive Bauble (£6) is very attractively presented in a glittery bauble shaped bottle.

Personally I love the Goodness Range with its four invigorating fragrances. The range is designed to make you feel good and is inspired by nature. The natural oils have lots of benefits which can lift your mood and help with circulation problems or relieve tension.

Liqueur

The Cranes Cranberry & Blood Orange Liqueur is a delightful Christmas gift. This liqueur makes refreshing cocktails or tastes incredible added to prosecco to enjoy a Cranbellini (1 part liqueur to 4 parts prosecco).  You can even enjoy it neat or as a longer drink with tonic and ice. It really is quite a versatile liqueur. I was very impressed that over 115 cranberries were in my 50cl bottle.

Priced at £19.99 it really will get your recipient’s Christmas celebrations off to the most wonderful start! Cranes also sell fruit ciders (Blueberries & Apples, Cranberries & Limes and Raspberry & Pomegranates) and Cranberry Gin too. It is all handcrafted and made with high quality ingredients.

Sleep

Modern life really impacts our quality of sleep so why not give the gift of a better night’s sleep this Christmas? The Echor End of Day Set is designed to prepare you for sleep.

Priced at £46.99 it includes pillow spray, a natural soy candle and a total blackout eye mask.

Echor blended multiple essential oils to find a combination that really works at reducing stress levels and blood pressure so you can feel completely relaxed and nod off without a battle at bedtime! If you know a tired mum or anyone who struggles to go to sleep they will really appreciate this gift. Echor is all about optimizing our well being by improving the quality of our sleep.
