Features Press Samples
It’s that time of year again, when Mariah Carey and Michael Buble come out of the woodwork, and the festive adverts start coming out (have you seen Asda’s, so good!). The second half of this year seems to have flown by, but I’m not really complaining, I love the countdown to Christmas. If you are panicking about what to buy that special lady in your life, whether it’s mum, little sister or your lovely wife or girlfriend, I have worked with a whole host of lovely brands to bring you my Christmas Gift Guide for Her 2022, enjoy!
Wireless Earbuds
Buying for a music lover? Or perhaps she spends a lot of her time in the gym or out running? The Edifier TWS1 Pro wireless Bluetooth earbuds are the perfect gift and come in a range of colours including this gorgeous soft pastel pink shade. They have up to 8 hours playback time on single charge, and the case provides an additional 24 hours, so they are a really great choice!
Countdown to a Killing
If books are her thing, this suspenseful novel is sure to impress. Countdown to a Killing explores from different character perspectives and includes themes of sexuality, mental health and ethnicity with a sensitive approach.
TEMPLESPA
TEMPLE SPA have pulled it out of the bag this year with their gorgeous range of gifts in the most beautiful of packaging – seriously, look at those gift boxes! It’s hard to choose a favourite but the Time to Glow and Blissed Out gift sets are hard to beat!
One comes with a luxury headband and the other a stunning eye mask, with classic TEMPLE SPA skincare to enjoy once the festivities come to an end and your skin needs that TLC.
Olette Jewellery
This gorgeous Leona Good Luck Charm Bracelet, accented with geometric four-leaf clover charms, would make a wonderful gift this Christmas. The charms are designed to bring good fortune, health and power as the wearer enters 2023.
Ethosa Starter Kit
Award winning eco-friendly brand Ethosa have their fantastic Body Wash Starter Kit, for those wanting to create their own shower gel. The kit includes a shower powder, filled with natural ingredients and inspired by aromatherapy, as well as a refillable bottle and pump, an essential oils sachet, preservative sachet and a natural konjac body sponge to enhance the shower experience!
Mad Beauty Treats
Mad Beauty always bring the goods when it comes to affordable beauty treats, I love these hand creams and bath salts, which are perfectly packaged to be placed under the tree, or as lovely stocking fillers.
Doctor A Skincare
Doctor A Cosmetics, recently launched offering diversity and increased representation of South Asian skincare within the beauty industry. The brand is vegan and cruelty free and their products and packaging are just gorgeous – total gift goals!
Curvy Kate Lingerie
Curvy Kate are on a mission to make women feel fabulous about their curves and, with their stunning range of lingerie and swimwear, they are definitely achieving this! Their range of D to K cup lingerie is simply beautiful.
Personalised Blanket
I don’t know about you but I am a sucker for a personalised gift, and this photo blanket from Asda Photo is such a lovely idea for a Christmas gift that can be enjoyed for years to come. I had mine personalised with a photo of my nan from her youth, and gave it to her a little early for her 90th birthday in September, and it was really well received – the picture quality, bearing in mind it was such an old photo, is really fantastic.
Made by Coopers Face & Body Oil
Cruelty free brand Made by Coopers have left out all the nasties in their products to bring a selection of beautifully fragranced natural skincare, including their Comforting Face & Body Oil, which hydrates and nourishes.
Biird Namii
If you are looking for an intimate gift, look no further than Biird’s Namii, which promises to provide waves of pleasure (with its suction and vibrate modes which can be used independently or at the same time). I love how the Biird products are designed, they look simply stunning on the bedside table, and even light up whilst charging, providing a pretty night light.
Personalised Towels
These pretty personalised towels and face towels from Little Print Gifts would make a lovely gift. They come in a variety of patterns, and the brand also offer a selection of other gifts including fingerprint cufflinks – go take a look!
Pretty Polly Lingerie
I am a big fan of Pretty Polly, since working them on a previous gift guide and I am confident you will be too. They have a gorgeous range of lingerie, sleepwear and hosiery, which includes this lovely bra and pants set, hold-ups and body. Such nice material and at affordable prices too.
Evolve Beauty The Glow Booster
Evolve Beauty have really surpassed themselves with their The Glow Boosters gift set, which is packed with three of their hero products for glowing skin including Liquid Radiance Glycolic Toner, Bio-Retinol Gold Mask and Bio-Retinol + C Booster. The trio provide everything you need for a stripped back, three step routine to boost and brighten dull skin in a beautiful gift box ready to be presented to your loved one!
Scrabble Card Game
Love Scrabble? This card game version of the much-loved classic is sure to be well received. There are three ways to play the game, choose from Classic, Forefit and Rummy – hours of fun over the festive season!
Lay-Flat Photo Book
If you want to give a gift with the personal touch, these lay-flat photo books from Asda Photo are just the ticket. They are so easy to personalise and create online and you can even use your smartphone to upload images directly from your camera roll to make it super simple. I love the quality of these books!
Lily Blanche Locket
Talking of personalised gifts, this locket necklace from Lily Blanche is simply stunning. The silver locket is made in a four-leaf clover design, allowing four images to be included. It is really a beautiful piece of jewellery. I gave it to my mum for her birthday, with the pictures of her four grandchildren and she was blown away by it, as were lots of the guests at her 60th birthday party. You can personalise it further with an engraved message (I went with Nanny) and you can choose from different metals and chain lengths to suit your recipient.
Gaia Skincare
For a gift set that will be sure to impress, Gaia skincare have really impressed me with their Crystal Range Set, which is worth £213. The set harnesses the energising vibrations of the crystals and includes a Jade Gua Sha and Jade Roller, alongside three crystal infused skincare favourites – a purifying mask, nourishing cream and everglow serum.
Luxury Sock Cracker
Sock Geeks have pulled it out of the box this year with their Luxury Christmas Crackers for him and her. The cracker even includes a hat and joke, just like traditional crackers, but the cute balled up socks inside are much better than those cracker gifts of old! The socks are super comfy, made from organic cotton and, if you want to gift a pair of socks which will last longer than the festive season, you can choose a non-seasonal design if you’d prefer – perfect!
Jewellery Boxes
Looking for a gift for around the home? Shabby have you covered. These faux leather jewellery boxes are beautiful and would look fantastic on a dressing table or positioned around the house.
Halo Throw
Meanwhile this Halo Throw, also from Shabby, is so comfy and luxe, and comes in a range of shades to suit any colour palette. This Teal Blue design is my favourite – the jewelled tone is beautiful.
Prints
Hidden Prints offer luxurious prints, of gorgeous quality, delivered to your door. This Sun and Moon design would make a lovely gift, but they have so many to choose from- take a look! You can get 15% off with discount code EAF15.
Projection Jewellery Personalised Necklace
As I have mentioned, I do love a personalised gift and Projection Jewellery is something a little different and unique. You can choose from a selection of designs including necklaces, bracelets and keychains, I went for the necklace heart design. You add your photo at the time of ordering and then can personalise it further with your choice of metal. When you have your jewellery, you can view the photo inside by looking inside or by using your phone camera.
Inkifi
Inkifi’s classic frames come in a range of colours and you can choose from 1-25 photos to be included. I went for 25 and absolutely love how it looks, perfectly capturing our recent trip to Disneyland Paris!
LUSH Gift Sets
LUSH have some fantastic festive gift sets this year including the awesome Fairy Christmas, jam packed full of Snow Fairy products. If you’re buying for a fan of the iconic scent, you can also buy this Snow Fairy candle – how sweet!
Cotton Traders
If you’re looking for women’s clothes, look no further than Cotton Traders, who have a brilliant selection from warm winter jumpers to cosy coats and the comfiest of pjs with just a hint of festive sparkle!
I hope this guide has helped inspire you – there’s a real mix to suit all budgets and tastes.
