So without further ado here are some more wonderful gift ideas.

For the person who has everything, but loves taking care of their skin this offering from Aviela is a must. Shea Butter is an absolute must for dry skin, especially over winter as it can be used in all sorts of ways. From helping to moisturise dry and chapped skin and lips, relieving irritated skin, and hydrating menopausal skin right up to being used on the end of your hair as a conditioner.

BEAUTYPRO

Having become a well-loved brand for many over the last 10 years, BEAUTYPRO have on offer some great beauty items for Christmas, from warming eye masks, to face masks and serums, they have something for the beauty lover in us all.

BEAUTYPRO LED Mask

I have long wondered about how well LED masks work, something that BeautyQueenUK is to blame for as she is a fan and long-term user of this technology. The BEAUTYPRO LED mask offers a lightweight mask that uses 5 LED light therapy colours to target a range of skin complaints. This includes;

• RED – for anti-ageing.
• Blue – to target acne.
• Yellow – for skin brightening.
• Near Infrared – for pore refinement.
• Purple (Red and Blue) – for anti-ageing and acne.

Personally, for me, I think the purple LED setting is going to be the one I turn to most and I am looking forward to seeing if it makes a marked difference after long-term use.

When it comes to usage, it depends on which treatment you are looking to do. For instance, Purple LED treatment is best used 3 times a week for 20 minutes, while Blue LED Treatment is 2 times a week for 20 minutes.

BEAUTYPRO also suggests a complementing serum formula which will work best with your chosen treatment regime.

The BEAUTYPRO LED Mask comes in at £195.

Revitalising Serum Duo

If you are looking to give a gift of serums this Christmas then the Revitalising Serum Duo could be a wonderful idea. These Vegan serums use ingredients of 100% plant origin and are perfect for giving you wonderful skin for the festive period.

This set features:

BEAUTYPRO VITAMIN C Serum is all about enhancing your glow. It uses ingredients such as Yuzu Citrus, Sea Buckthorn and Blueberry to help skin hydration, elasticity and glow. It can also help reduce the signs of tiredness and work towards a more youthful and smooth appearance.

BEAUTYPRO RETINOL is a powerful anti-ageing formula that uses Organic Pine Oil and Seaweed Kelp Complex to try and boost collagen production which can help towards a more even and healthy complexion.

The Revitalising Serum Duo comes in at £15.

Bedsure Wearable Blanket with Sleeves

If you know someone who struggles with the cold then this wearable blanket with sleeves could be the perfect present. Coming in a range of colours, this blanket includes sleeves and a big pouch to the front, to make sure you stay warm from head to toe.

All the owner needs to do is simply pull on the blanket on top of them and it offers an easier way to keep your arms warm, while still having use of your hands.

The Bedsure Wearable Blanket with Sleeves has an RRP of £19.99 however at the time of writing starts at £12.99 and goes up to £15.99 depending on colour.

Blowfish Lifted Buckle in Rust Redwood

I used to own so many pairs of Blowfish Malibu, as shoes used to be something I loved. But as my mobility faded I turned to just wearing trainers, however, over the last 12 months it has become obvious that having something that comes up to ankle height at least helps. As such I’ve been delving back into different types of boots to find what works best for me.

This is the Lifted Buckle in Rust Redwood, which features a zip to one side and a stretch panel. Personally, my shoe size is between a 6 and 7 depending on the brand and I’ve always gone for a 7 in Blowfish which I found worked well for this pair. They are Vegan and do come in a couple of other colourways and are available in sizes 3 – 8.

If you know someone who would love the Lifted Buckle in Rust Redwood they come in at £70.

Christmas Dogs Printed Bedding from Terrys

I wanted to get this onto the bed and show it to you properly, but with feeling so unwell it completely slipped my mind so I hope you don’t mind this close-up of a snippet of the print. Coming from Terrys Fabrics it is just one of a range of Christmas bedding offerings from them.

Offered in a single, double and kingsize this duvet is made from a wonderfully soft brushed cotton and has 60% of the cotton used in it acquired sustainably through the better cotton project. The fun print sees a range of dogs in a festive setting, be it near a present or holding lights.

The Christmas Dog Bedding has an RRP of £40 for a single and £85 for a kingsize, however, it is on offer now at £22.45 for a single and £42.45 for a double.

Everyday Affirmation Cards

If you are buying for someone who likes to have a positive thought for each day but struggles to think of them then the Everyday Affirmation Cards might be a good idea for them.

Featuring a range of cards which go across reasons why the reader is blessed, how their success is due and they are just as they should be, these cards are uplifting and offer an easy way to think positively each day.

As well as including a host of prewritten cards, 3 blank ones are included to help the user add their own thoughts to the pack.

Each of the cards can be used by yourself, or as a way to start conversations with your friends and family. They can help you grow and learn, not just by yourself but as a unit and team. They will help you expand how you think and open your mind to new thoughts.

Personalised Christmas Candle by Kindred Fires

Kindred Fires offers the most amazing candles, which can be personalised for any special occasion, or just because. Of course, ready for Christmas they have released a wonderful range of festively themed and scented candles.

This particular candle is “The Stocking Filler Christmas Candle” which is scented with Festive Spice. The fun thing about these candles is that not only can you personalise the label on the front, but you can also choose the scent inside.

Made using natural soy wax and hand-poured, this candle has a burn time of 25 hours and has a wonderful throw that fills the room.

The Stocking Filler Christmas Candle comes in at £18.

Baroque Pearl Necklace by Lily Blanche

Lily Blanche is a brand I absolutely adore and have been lucky enough to share with you a number of times on my blog.

For Christmas this year they wanted to share with you all their stunning Baroque Pearl Necklace. Featuring a stunning large freshwater ivory baroque pearl on a silver chain (it can also be found with gold chain and fixings) this necklace is bound to be adored by its recipient.

Offered with a choice of chain lengths and styles, you can really match the pearl to your style when it comes to this and other freshwater pearl necklaces Lily Blance offers.

The pearls themselves have been harvested via a sustainable source, and are prized for their rainbow lustre, which is absolutely stunning but so hard to pick up on camera.

As pearls are naturally formed, each one will slightly differ in size and shape, making it truly unique.

The Baroque Pearl Necklace starts at £90 with price changing depending on chain choice.

Lovall

A brand I have featured on my blog several times before and love myself has to be Lovall. However, you might be thinking well I don’t remember you talking about them. Well, that could be because they used to be known as Love Leggings. However, since its beginnings as a leggings company, they have evolved into offering so much more including; denim, basics and underwear.

Luxe Lounge Jogger and Sweater

Spending a lot of time at home all I want is so comfy clothes to lounge around in and Lovell has me covered with an absolutely incredible loungewear range. The joggers and sweatshirt are sold separately and both come in a range of colours. I personally absolutely love the dark cherry but black is always a good choice too.

Made from a lightweight, mid-thickness with slight stretch fabric, the joggers are a relaxed fit and feature a drawstring to the waist, while the sweatshirt is more of a regular fit. Extremely soft to the touch, they feature a brushed lining and are machine washable at 30.

The Luxe Lounge Sweatshirt and Luxe Lounge Joggers both come in at £30 each.

I am pretty sure the only pairs of PJs I own now come from Lovall. They are honestly just so comfortable and cosy that they quickly became my go-to for the colder nights after I first tried them.

This particular pair is made from pure cotton, which is a lightweight fabric, with no stretch and has been made to a regular fit. The bottoms feature a drawstring and pockets, with the top is a t-shirt style.

As with the joggers, the PJs are offered in 3 lengths; regular, tall and petite and come in sizes 6 – 28. Personally, I often feel like I can size down in Lovall items, however, they are listed by customers as true to size, so I would perhaps order your own size and then size down afterwards if needed.

The Burgundy Check Pure Cotton PJs come in at £32, however, at the time of writing are on sale for just £16!

Me&McQ Christmas Cards

If you are looking for a special Christmas card to give this year, then look no further than Me&McQ. These stunning cards require no assembly as they simply pop up straight out of the envelope, with each card either having space to write on or coming with a small insert to add your Christmas greeting onto.

With so much detail in each card, you might be thinking that they must take up so much space, however, you would be wrong. They have been designed to be no bigger than a regular card, which is a pretty mean feat in itself.

While Christmas of course is top of the bill at the moment Me&McQ also sell cards for all occasions with prices starting at £6.99.

Moschino Toy 2 at Perfume Direct

If you are looking for the perfect fragrance to buy for a loved one this year then Perfume Direct have you covered, with offerings for all the family.

In particular, the Moschino Toy 2 gift set includes; a 30ml perfume and complementing body lotion to help you layer your fragrance. Offering top notes of Apple, Mandarin Orange and Magnolia with a middle of White Currant, Peony and Jasmine alongside base notes of Musk, Amberwood and Sandalwood, this is a fruity fragrance with a floral side.

This particular Moschino Toy 2 gift set has an RRP of £45 but is on sale right now for £35.99.

Munchy Seeds

If you are looking for a stocking filler for someone who likes to play with their meals a little then Munchy Seeds could be an idea. These gluten-free seeds offer a mix of vegetarian and vegan offerings that can be added to salads, soups, porridges and so much more.

Having been a specialist in artisan seeds, Munchy Seeds has a unique roasting technique that helps to add to their delicious flavour and crunch.

Available from stockists such as Amazon, Ocado, Holland & Barrett and more.

NOMO Christmas Chocolates

NOMO are the UK’s number 1 vegan and free-from-chocolate brand and it is no wonder as they have come up with a huge range full of different flavours.

For Christmas they have a range of chocolates for everyone, to enjoy themselves or give as a gift. From advent calendars to fun choc reindeer, perfect for stocking fillers and sharing boxes filled with flavours such as orange and mint.

NOMO have thought about how to make chocolate accessible to more people without compromising on texture and taste. So if you are looking for a new brand to try, why not give them a go.

Paradise Erased by Miguel Angel Monzon

The Colombian coastal town of Santa Marta was an idyllic place blessed with natural wonders. Offering a choice destination for cruise ships and steamboats, bringing visitors from all over the Caribbean. That was until the drug cartels arrived.

Miguel Angel had aspired to grow up in a place of beauty and peace until a case of police brutality and the murder of a young British backpacker he had befriended caused his world to unravel.  This is a true story, this is Miguel Angel’s story.

Paradise Erased by Miguel Angel Monzon is available from Amazon and comes in at £7.99 for a paperback.

Rufus in Rabitannia by Suzanna Welby

Spoilt and rude Rufus is in for a ride as the powers beyond have decided he needs to learn a lesson and then he might become an acceptable member of the human race.

He is magically taken into the world of Rabitannia, where to his upset he is turned into a rabbit. He is tasked by the King of Rabitannia to find the long-lost Crown Prince, the sole heir to the throne.

During his search, Rufus finds himself in a dangerous and mysterious world filled with wizards, worgs and weasels. Can he finish his task and return to the human world?

A simple to use website all you need to do is upload the images you would like to use and easily edit them.

Having had a range of items from ASDA Photo over the years, I can attest to the fact they offer a quality print and product which is delivered within the given time frame. Making for a great gift idea.

One thing I love trying out which might seem strange to some people is foot care and I was thrilled to see this new set from TEMPLESPA.

Inside this set you will find; 50ml of Sea-Scape which is a tub of revitalising bath salts, 50ml of Best Foot Forward their foot scrub and 30ml of Sole Balm their foot cream. I find that all TEMPLESPA products not only smell incredible but work well too, with their Christmas gifts being the perfect size for taking on getaways.

The Instagram Bag from Paper Bag Co

If you are buying for someone who loves food and photography The Instagram Bag from Paper Bag Co might be a fun idea for a gift. This bag includes a range of 4 backgrounds, 8 postcards with tips and 5 in 1 pop-up reflector all of which are carefully stored within a black canvas bag.

For instance, they have a range of prints and tiles which are perfect for placing special memories onto and displaying around the home. What’s more, they come in a range of different materials, from acrylic to aluminium, foamex as well as more traditional canvas.

I think we often forget to share our photos these days as everything is more digital and having a special photograph printed to hang on your wall helps to remind you of happy moments and occasions.
