It’s been a few weeks since I got up Part 1 of my Christmas gift guides this year, so I thought it was about time to check in and see what else had been brought to my attention, and once again, I have some wonderful ideas to bring you, and I hope you love them just as much as my last post!

So let’s jump into this next round-up of ideas.

Lush Sweet Christmas Giftset

It might be pretty obvious due to some of the competitions I run here that I really like Lush, and while they do everything well, they really excel at gift boxes for people who love their products, no matter the occasion and of course, Christmas brings around one of their most extensive releases.

One of their festive offerings this year is the Sweet Christmas box, which includes two of their bath products: the Candy Cane reusable bubble bar, which is fragranced with Sicilian lemon, bergamot and peppermint and the Sweet Pudding bath bomb, which is scented with Tonka absolute and almond essential oil.

The Sweet Christmas Box comes in at £13.

Kayali Discovery Layering Set

If you have someone on your list who loves playing with perfumes and wants to discover their personal fragrance, then this discovery kit from Kayali might be the perfect gift for this year.

This set is made specifically to try and help you create your own scent mood by layering fragrances together and finding the perfect combination. Featuring 8 x 1.5ml vials in fruity florals such as Vanilla, Eden Juicy Apple, Yum Boujee Marshmallow and Fleur Majesty Rose Royale. This set is also the perfect way to try out some of the best-selling Kayali fragrances before purchasing a full-size.

The Kayali Discovery Layering Set comes in at £25.

Sephora – Cherry Lip Set

This year, Sephora have a great range of beauty products on offer, both from their own “Sephora Collection” and other well-known brands. However, if you are looking for some stocking fillers, this own collection is the perfect place to start, offering quality products at affordable prices.

The Cherry Lip set contains 3 products: a lip mask, lip sleep mask and lip butter. Each of the products provides between 8 and 12 hours of hydration and can help to boost softness in as little as 5 minutes! Presented in a gift bag, you could probably forgo wrap and just pop it straight into the stocking.

The Cherry Lip Set comes in at £15.99.

Subversive Scents – Sticky Fingers

No matter if you are buying for a fragrance fan or a Rolling Stones fan, the Subversive Scents range is well worth looking into. Made to be as bold as a guitar riff, the range encapsulates The Rolling Stones’ spirit away from the stage and looks to bring it to a new (and existing) audience.

Offering fragrances for everyone, Sticky Fingers in particular, is a genderless perfume that was designed in London and made in France. It features a top note of: Whiskey, Mid Notes of: Vanilla Orchid, Olibanum and Base Notes: Bourbon Vanilla, Musk, Sandalwood and Patchouli.

Sticky Fingers comes in at £99 for 100ml.

Tolpa

If you are looking to get someone a new skincare item to try, then it might be worth looking into Tolpa. This is a range which has been created to address specific skincare issues and looks to land in a sweet spot between natural and scientific.

The lipidrio range in particular has been created to work on sensitive, allergic, dry and very dry skin, especially when there is a need for regeneration. As with all the range it contains tołpa.® peat, with this particular day cream and eye cream offering up to 24 hours of moisturisation, it is said to reduce transepidermal water loss by 47% and increase hydration by 62%.

The Tolpa Dermo Face Lipidrio Nourishing Regenerating Eye Cream comes in at £12.99, and the Tolpa Dermo Face Lipidrio Nourishing Regenerating Cream (Day) 40ml £8.57, both of which can be bought from Boots.

Wild England

If you are looking for some useful stocking fillers, then Wild England might have you covered in the body care department, thanks to their travel-size pouches. Wild England specialises in organic, natural and eco-friendly toiletries and offers a refill range to help work towards zero waste, with each product being vegan, paraben and SBS-free.

The travel pouches are offered in the scents of lavender & eucalyptus and sweet orange & cardamom, and come as body lotion, cleansing gel, shampoo and conditioner, all of which smell absolutely amazing and work like a dream – they will definitely be my go-to when I have to go away for a night again!

Each travel-sized pouch comes in at £5 and is the perfect size to pop in a bag for a weekend away.

Ted Baker – Advent Calendar

Fancy counting down the days to Christmas with a Ted Baker gift every day? Then this Advent calendar is a must! Featuring 24 treats, all of which are vegan-friendly and Cruelty Free International Approved, this is perhaps a girl’s best friend during the party season.

Inside the Advent, you will find Ted Baker favourites such as their hand cream, bath foam, body lotion, body spray and more. What will the next day hold for you?

The Ted Baker advent comes in at £46 and can be bought from Boots.

Watches2U – Toff London Panda Watch

If you are looking to buy a watch for someone this year, then it is well worth checking out Watches2U, a leading online retailer of watches and accessories. They have been around since 2001 and sell a vast number of brands, including Casio, DKNY, Timex, G-Shock and Fossil; however, I have to admit I love Toff Lonon.

Toff London offers watches which have really fun dial designs. In particular, they have a huge range of dog breeds, prides and sporting faces. However, I love this panda design, isn’t it just so cute?! Toff London makes watches for men and women, and due to their range of fun dials, you can really let your personality and interests shine!

The Toff London Ladies Panda Watch has an RRP of £89.99 but is on sale for £39.99 at Watches2U.

Skandinavisk – AURORA collection

For anyone who loves home fragrance, let me introduce you to Skandinavisk. A brand hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, they pride themselves on being a B-corp, vegan and cruelty-free and being as sustainable as possible. Offering a range of home fragrance and body products which are inspired by their travels across Scandinavia and the Nordic region.

AURORA / The Northern Lights is offered both as a candle which uses Swedish rapeseed wax and a diffuser. The inspiration for the scent was taken from the smell of the Scandinavian boreal forest and contains notes of sandalwood and juniper berries, jasmine and lime and believe me, it is absolutely beautiful.

The candle is offered in a range of sizes, from 65g, which offers up to 20 hours of burn time, to 350g, which offers up to 50 hours, with prices starting at £19. While the diffuser comes in 100ml or 200ml sizes and starts at £39. There is also a giftset which contains a 100ml diffuser and a 65g candle, which would make the perfect Christmas gift.

The AURORA Collection is one of the newest fragrances to hit Skandinavisk, and judging by this on,e I definitely need to try some of the others as well.

Christmas With VistaPrint

Is it Christmas without some of the fantastic personalised products that VistaPrint have on offer? They are one of those websites where you never quite know what they might come out with next, and new for this year, they have things like socks, baubles and candles!

Can you work out whodunnit? This is a crime book which will have you counting down the days with 25 daily clues and secrets to help you find out who exactly in the village did it! This book isn’t all about the clues, though it also includes a story which will have everyone wanting to know the answers! .

Boutique Gifts – The Chocolicious Hamper

Is it Christmas if you don’t get some chocolate? Of course not. And Boutique Gifts have you covered with both delicious hampers and personalised gifts, with a wide range of products on offer, including some from brands such as Parker, Boss and Filofax.

Let’s talk about their hampers, which include this delicious offering, which is filled to the brim with chocolate treats. For personalisation, they can add a gift card, which can be inscribed with up to 3 lines of text. Made to be the grown-up selection box, inside you will find a mix of chocolate orange, caramel and fudge delights which are going to hit the right spot. Definitely something I’d like to find under my tree.

The Chocolicious Hamper comes in at £21.99.

Fuzzballs – Pizza Thief Card Game

I absolutely love Fuzzballs, I have pins, t-shirts and even a Whisky plush, so when I saw they had come out with a card game, I just knew I had to check it out.

This fast-paced card game has you trying to get together the perfect amount of slices while sabotaging your friends. For 2-6 players and able to be completed in just 20 minutes, this game is a great call for any get-together with friends over the festive period (or a stocking filler for any Fuzzballs fan).

Pizza Theif comes in at £12.99 and can be bought from Amazon.

Glasvin – Whiskey Glasses

If you have someone on your list who loves a little tipple of whiskey, then these stemless glasses from Glasvin might be the gift for them.

Offering a modern take on the whiskey glass, they have been carefully designed to try and enhance the experience of settling down with your favourite number. Dishwasher safe, these glasses are lightweight and really offer a glass that feels wonderful in the hand. Offered in a range of set sizes from 2 to 8, your main issue might be wanted to keep a pair for yourself.

These Whiskey Glasses start at £52 for a set of 2.

Glow For It

If you are looking for an award-winning viral product to give to someone this year, then Glow For It is a brand to check out. Female-founded and based here in the UK, Glow For It wants to help people feel empowered and confident in their own skin. They are vegan and cruelty-free, ethically and sustainably made in Europe, and focused on making products that truly work.

Their Growth Starter Kit (£54) has been viral on TikTok and includes both the lash and brow growth serum, with people reporting it takes as little as 2 weeks to start seeing healthier and softer lashes.

If you are looking for something a bit more pocket and stocking filler safe, then their range of Blush Sticks (£12), which is offered in a range of 7 lightweight shades, each of which is buildable to help you achieve the colour you like. While the Lip Oil (£12) helps hydrate, plump and protect and is infused with a range of oils and natural ingredients and comes in original, watermelon or peach.

Max Spielmann

If you are looking to put pictures on canvas, in frames or on all manner of useful items, then Max Spielmann is an online and high street go-to. In fact, some gifts can be ordered and collected within just an hour, so perfect for those “uh oh” moments that we all get at Christmas.

One thing that makes ordering from Max Spielmann so easy is that they offer a wide range of preset designs to choose from, meaning even on brain fog days, it is easy to put together something which ends up looking nice. Such as these framed prints, which I made in minutes using the 6 Photos Collage Print & Frame, which allowed me to drag and drop the images I wanted to put in and just edit the text. What’s more, there is a choice of frame colours, including black, white, rustic wood and light wood, so you can make sure it matches anything you already own.

The 6 Photos Collage Print & Frame comes in at £20 and for some sizes, such as the A4 seen in the post, can be collected in just an hour in-store.

Gift cards as presents are a bit like Marmite; some people love them, and some people hate them. I’m firmly on the side that they can be so useful. If you aren’t sure what to buy someone, or someone wants to save for something bigger, the gift of a gift card can mean they buy something they have been saving towards.

The One4All card allows the recipient to shop with over 180 brands, both on the high street and online! You can even add a message to your card and have it delivered directly to the receiver’s inbox!

One4All cards are available as both digital and physical gift cards and can be topped up between £5 (digital) and £10 (physical) right up to £120.

So there you have my second gift guide for Christmas this year! I really hope you like some of the options I’ve come up with, and perhaps you might end up buying one yourself!

I’d love for you to let me know which is your favourite item.
