Gifts Central: Review
I’ve found how quickly this year is flying by to be quite scary. It is now only 3 months until December and of course, then the Christmas rush is on. However, I’ve already seen a lot of people starting their shopping and some who have even finished. So right now is a great time to look into different shops and of course, get ideas, on what the perfect present maybe for those you need to buy for.
To start you off on the right foot, I want to share with you Gift Central, who kindly contacted me not long ago and who offer a huge range of gift ideas, for all different recipients and occasions. They kindly offered to send some of their best-selling items to have a look at.
Alphabet Coasters and Placemats
How cute are these coasters and placements, you may have noticed them in my Fentimans post a week or so back? They obviously come in every letter of the alphabet, as well as &, ?, a heart and Mr and Mrs (perhaps allowing them to be great for a wedding present). Of course, with so much choice you could really play about with what you gift someone, be it their full name, initials, or even a word that is special to you both.
The coaster and placements themselves are cork backed and have a high gloss finish to the front. When it comes to heat resilience they offer the ability to withstand temperatures of up to 140 Degrees.
Personally, both Ash and I were really impressed with the quality of these items, they feel strong and sturdy and it is a real bonus knowing they will withstand pretty high temperatures. If you fancy buying either for yourself the coasters come in at 2.99 per letter or symbol while the placemats come in at £6.99. Both of course can be bought from Gifts Central.
Bronze Little Book of Earrings
Next up from Gifts Central and perfect for anyone who loves their earrings, is the Little Book of Earrings. This great book holds up to 48 pairs of hoops, studs or whatever you love to wear.
The book is made in a faux leather look, with stitched edging and the words Little Book of Earrings embossed across the front. This is of course designed to look like a book and contains 4 padded pages, to help keep your earrings as safe as possible.
One thing I personally like about this book is it makes earring so easy to find. No longer am I wondering what box contains what pair as they are all stored neatly.
What’s more, if this colour doesn’t seem right for you, then never fear as the little book of earrings comes in a whole host of colours and designs, as well as being available in the travel edition which is perfect for anyone who loves an adventure.
Overall, I think The Little Book of Earrings is such a novel and unique idea, for anyone who wants to keep their earrings safe and neatly arranged, but perhaps not out on display. What’s more, it doesn’t cost the earth with this particular bronze book coming in with an RRP of £21.49 but currently being offered for £19. Of course, don’t forget you can also look at all the different colours and styles for The Little Book of Earrings here.
So there are a few things from the wonderful Gifts Central that might be worth looking into as gift ideas and even if these don’t catch your eye, their website is filled with a whole host of gift ideas.
What do you think of these items, would you find any useful?











I love the little book of earings! Such a good way to keep them safe!
I really like this Bronze little book of earrings! Such a good idea to store & keep earrings organised, easier that a jewelry box, I may have to buy one of these 🙂
Some lovely gifts here ….great ideas for christmas pressies !
Love that earrings book! Such a great idea!
This would make a great present
The Little Book of Earrings is a great idea!
Ooh I love the earring box, I need that so I can keep my jewellery organised!
The Little Book of Earrings is perfect but then again they all are 🙂
You’ve sold me with the Little Book of Earrings! Such a wonderful gift!
This is a great idea! My sister has so much jewelry she could use one of these to organize all her pretty things. Thanks for sharing a unique idea.
That earrings book is the perfect solution! I seem to always find random earrings here and there and never a proper pair so I would gift this to myself – is that cheeky? LOL!x
That earrings book… literally genius!! I need it!
Great ideas! I always try to start my shopping in August/September but this year I think I’m going to take a different approach.
Ohh good luck with your shopping I really hope it goes well 🙂
I wonder how much it would it cost to get the same amount of Alphabet Coasters as there are tiles in a Scrabble bag… I wouldn’t mind playing a giant game on the living room floor 😀
Oh my goodness that would be amazing! You have to picture if it you do it haha!
the book of earrings looks fab
Isn’t it such an awesome idea, definitely keep things more organised.
Oh I love the bronze earring holder book, I have never seen anything like that before!
It is amazing isn’t it – they do necklace ones and are starting ring ones as well.
Wow this little book would make a perfect gift for those who love earrings and love to display it in a different way 😀
It is perfect for that isn’t it – I love how it really offers something different.
I like the earring book but it isn’t something that I can use. It stinks having a metal allergy bc earrings are way to expensive in gold. 🙂
Oh not that’s such a shame 🙁 I have to admit I really wear gold which is why I don’t have a huge collection myself.
These gifts are so cute. I love the little book of earrings because it looks so pretty and very useful. Thanks for sharing.
It is really adorable isn’t it – I think I need to get the travel one for going away in future as well.
I love the sound of the little bronze book of earrings. It is such a gorgeous idea for a gift x
It is lovely isn’t it – I think I’ll be getting some for my earring loving friends as gifts.
i would love to receive that earring book! as i travel a lot, this can come very handy in organizing my earrings and avoid missing one of getting them tangled! thanks for sharing!
It is perfect for that, they do a smaller sized one as well which is made for travelling with.
As I get older time goes by so fast and it’s Christmas time almost again

Before I am considering it as a gift this coming holidays but now I realized, I want to have one too. Haha great to keep my fashionable earrings in the little book of earrings and then have my initials on the coasters.
haha glad you like it so much you would quite like one for youself 😉
Really like those alphabet coasters! We love to get quirky things like that
They are fab aren’t they – they really offer something a little bit different.
I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Christmas gifts already! Where has the time gone! These items would make super stocking fillers, I think. 🙂
I know right – how quickly is this year passing by!
I am in LOVE with those coasters and place mats. Maybe because they feature my initials? They would make a great gift for letter lovers like me!
Haha you obviously have great initials then 😉
These are some great selects. What a wonderful way to keep them all in one place.
The little book of earrings is a fabulous idea! Saves my mummy hunting for mismatched ones in the bottom of her drawer! That would make a great Christmas present!
I love the little book of earrings. Mine always get mishapen in my jewelry bag or I can only find one out of a pair!
Indeed it is such a good idea. Its already ber months and Christmas is fast approaching. I’ll definitely save this.
It is crazy how quickly it is creeping up now isn’t it.
the book of earrings is such a great idea! mine are all in a little bag and mixed up. I don’t dare touching them ahah!
It is an awesome idea isn’t it – it’s going to help so many people be more organised.
My daughter needs the Bronze Little Book of Earrings! She can never keep up with where they are!
It is definitely a must for anyone with an earring collection on the go!
Too cute! I need to get the book of earrings for myself and my MIL who lost her earrings the last time she went on vacation with us. She put them on the sink and then next thing she couldn’t find them. Later she found them in the lining of her luggage.
Oh no that is awful, but I am so glad she found them in the end!
Lovely gifts. Great earrings book. Myself I sont have many earrings to use one.
The travel one takes much less, I think it’s about 8 pairs so you could always look into that one.
I wish I had that little book of earrings! I’ve had to put my earrings in a small duster earring pocket bag thing and carrying it around hoping it won’t bend or snap
Definitely a must buy for you, perhaps you could add it to your Christmas list 😉
These are BEAUTIES
PERFECT for special occassions
They really are aren’t they – perfect present ideas.
These are great gift ideas. I have my list made for everyone just gotta find them all now 🙂
Ohh good luck with all your shopping sounds like your really on the ball.
That earring book would be really helpful for jewelry lovers. What a great gift idea for someone who has lots of earrings but doesn’t know how to store them.
It is wonderful isn’t it – they have a necklace one now too and are looking at doing a ring one!
My daughter just moved to college. She has been looking for something to keep her earrings in. She would love the earring book idea.
Ohh yes it would be perfect for those in college or uni – really easy to pack up and move when needed as well.
I like that earring book. What a nifty idea
A book of earrings 🙂 It looks so great and creative. Never seen one before. Thank you for sharing it
No problem at all it really is an interesting idea isn’t it.
It’s never too early to think about Christmas! I hope to get all of my Christmas shopping done and over with by the first half of November. I absolutely love the alphabet coasters – just too darn cute!
It really isn’t it can become so expensive when you decide to do it all at once.
I really love the earring holder. It is so pretty! I love anything leather, though.
It is really nice isn’t it and they do such a lovely range of colours in it.
I thought for sure that was a notebook or journal. I love the little book of earrings. What a great idea.
I know right doesn’t it look like such a lovely notebook from the outside haha!
Oh how nice is the Little Book of Earrings! It’s such a good place to keep your collection. I like the bronze color of this one.
It is adorable isn’t it, the bronze colour is definitely my favourite but they do so many different ones to choose from.
Those coasters and placemats would be great for little ones to help them learn letters and matching! I have a lot of earrings but I NEVER wear them. I am so low maintenance it is crazy lol.
They are fantastic aren’t they, you could do so many different things with them.
Ooh I love that earing book! But it would probably tempt me to buy more so I could fill it haha
Haha it does give that feeling that’s for sure haha!
the journal would make a beautiful present for my grandfather. I know how much he would love it.
Do you mean the little book of earrings? It isn’t a journal.
Some great gifts here. Love the place mats, so cool and would make a lovely gift :)x
They are really awesome aren’t they – they really offer such a great range of items.
I love the bronze book of earrings! Great idea As my earring pot is forever getting knocked over. I’m hand making a lot of gifts this year I hope when I find the time
Ohh good luck with hand making your gifts, there is something wonderful about being able to do that.
My first thought was “Where can I get one” for the book of earrings (thank god you left a link) I’ve spent so long on Pinterest finding things I love and never finding where they come from! It drives me nutty!! It’s such a good idea, why didn’t we think of this sooner?
It is awful when that happens isn’t it – it’s like WHY YOU NO LEAVE LINK grrrr.
I love the book of earrings!!! What a great way to store them. Knowing me, I would probably lose the book 🙂
Haha hopefully not that would be a bit of a nightmare 😉
These are great gift ideas! So unique! I would love to have one.
They really offer some awesome bits don’t they so different.
I hear you with time flying so fast. It feels like we just got over putting away Christmas decor and now it is almost time again for it.
It is crazy how quickly this year has gone by isn’t it – I just cannot keep up!
What lovely gift ideas I’m loving the look of that little book of earrings especially the color.
It is lovely isn’t it – they do a huge range of colours as well if this one isn’t quite for you.
My children would love those coasters. What a fun idea for a gift.
They are so nice aren’t they – I think I’m going to be getting some for Christmas.
I love the earring book! I have an old plastic one that I still use from when I was young, but this is so much classier, especially for my finer earrings!
It is lovely isn’t it – I had a plastic sort of earring stand but I found it just left my earrings dusty this is so much nicer.
I love unique gift ideas, and this place seems to carry them. I like giving gifts that not everyone has.
I am the same, I love to give people something they haven’t probably seen before.
I like the Little Book of Earrings! That’s such a great way to keep a collection of earring from all around the world 🙂
It really is perfect for keeping your earring collection in, the mini version is just perfect for travel as well.
Sarah!!!
Isn’t it a just wee bit early for Christmas….some of ours actually do have Christmas stuff slowly seeping in….and for the first time,I’m planning on doing a Black Friday. I must be bonkers.
The earring case is quite clever…
In the world of blogging, Christmas started in at least July lol
I would so gift my Words with Friends bestie with those coasters and placemats. She would love them. The little book of earrings would be ideal for me. What an interesting way to keep your earrings organized.
They really are fab aren’t they – there is so much you can do with the coasters to make the idea really unique.
This is a great Christmas idea! My mom has so much jewelry she could use one of these to organize all her earrings. To great idea and I think I will buy this for her for Christmas.
They have just started doing a necklace one and apparently have a ring one on the way which I definitely need for myself lol.
I’m gifting myself that little book to hold my earrings. What a wonderful way to keep them all in one place.
I don’t blame you at all it really is a unique idea and so useful.
These are some great choices. I have no idea what to get people this year. I might get that earring book for my daughter. She’s always losing hers!
It is so hard knowing what to get everyone isn’t it – I think the earring book is just so useful.
That little book of earrings is amazing! I’d like it for myself! I always say I’m going to start super early on my Christmas shopping list. I haven’t started yet, but I hope to soon. I hate waiting until the last minute.
It really is something that is just so useful, definitely something for really anyone that wears earrings!
