Christmas is on the way. There aren’t many Mondays left until the big day itself. With that in mind, I wanted to put together something to help you through the festive season. Get Christmas ready and check out my blogger gift guides for some top ideas for presents.
For The Cooking Fanatic
I love cooking and there are some amazing cookery goodies out there which are perfect for aspiring chefs. Those who love spending time in the kitchen need good utensils, pots, pans and maybe even a decent Bluetooth speaker to play their playlists on. If you love quirky cookware, beautiful tableware and much more, check out the Christmas gifts at Sous Chef.
I love making my own hampers as well. Collate some of the recipients favourite things from the food and drink sections and bring them together as an awesome hamper. Ginger beer, delicious chocolate, finest biscuits, hand cut crisps, bottles of Rum, the list goes on! It doesn’t have to be in a hamper. Use an old Amazon box and wrap it in Christmas paper!
For The Fashion Fans
Have you ever read blogger gift guides without fashion? Of course not! Check out high street brands such as Fat Face and Joules for quality goods. Use those links to get 15% off when you shop with those companies. I am also a big fan of Seasalt Cornwall. I often buy in the sales before and after Christmas and pop the clothes away as presents for my wife. You can get up to 9.6% cashback when you shop with them via Quidco.
If you’re looking for some sustainable fashion, take a look at PrimaBerry. The gorgeous products are inspired by travel along with tradition and culture of different countries. With items available for men, women & children, you can add a splash of colour and something unique to your look. I love the cork hats and cosmetic bags.
Be sure to check out Wave. They specialise in eco-friendly phone cases and accessories. I’m a big fan of their Roll Top Backpack which is waterproof and comes in two awesome colours. It’s also sustainable, having been made from recycled plastic material (RPET), with up to 40 plastic bottled used to make each one! Their stainless steel water bottle ensures you stay hydrated whilst reducing your plastic consumption.
For all your Christmas socks fixes, check out That Socks who do fantastic foot gear that little bit differently. Their tag line is Odd Socks for Odd Folk and their designs are brilliant. Turn that annual sock receiving frown upside down with some awesome odd socks.
For Your Luxury Lifestyle
If you love a classy cocktail or relaxing on an evening with a G&T, be sure to take a look at Umodzi Gin. It is a twist on tradition, with a remarkable gathering of flavours from the far-flung corners of Africa. You’ll experience mangoes grown on the shores of Lake Malawi along with ginger from Lake Tana in Ethiopia. The heart of Umodzi Gin is quality sugarcane, grown in the copper-coloured earth, deep in the lush Eswatini bush. This gin packs a a punch and is perfect for a festive tipple or two.
Christmas gifts can be for you and your home too. Maybe you and your partner want new white goods this year, or want to put some money towards improving the kitchen. There are lots of ways we can use Christmas gifting to enhance and improve the look of our home. I love good lighting and the Elesi pendant lights are perfect for Christmas presents. The colours are stunning and would make a statement in any home.
If you’re looking for a fantastic wine for the Christmas dinner table, PepperBox Wines naturally intense Shiraz is ideal. It is full of ripe juicy fruit with a cracking peppery finish. It’s the perfect partner for festive food this Christmas and New Year. It’ll pair perfectly with that slow cooker beef recipe you love as well as deep chocolate desserts. The added bonus is that it’s much more affordable than you might think. Just £10 in Tesco! This is perfectly priced to gift as a present for neighbours, colleagues or a family friend.
For Your Kids
Something we’ve discovered recently is collaborative board games. These are games where you work together, so you remove the internal competing, instead working together towards a common goal. These are perfect for family games night and I’ve written about them before. If you’re looking for awesome educational toys for the kids this Christmas, check out collaboration board game, BrightMinds. They have some fantastic STEM toys, arts, crafts and lots more! We’re excited about the City Of Zombies board game, where you need brains to win! It looks educational with plenty of maths skills and is suitable for ages 5+ which is perfect!
How about getting them something they need this Christmas? If they love being active, new swimming goggles are a great idea. Check out Halocline for brilliant swimming accessories too. Feed their passion and get them in the pool! Use code THRIFTYCHAP in the box during checkout to get 10% off your order.
Our kids love books and you can get great prices at The Works. Check out the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid eight book boxset for just £20. The 10 for £10 Kids Picture Book Bundles are brilliant too. If you have a few children to buy for you could even split the bundles up. Be sure to click through via Top Cashback for over 6% cashback!
Send Your Christmas Cards
You can’t do blogger gift guides for Christmas with Christmas cards. Be sure to remember to send your Christmas cards early this year. As always, there will be a backlog of post and you don’t want your greetings to get delayed or lost. Check out these Christmas cards from Dottypink Designs.
You Don’t Need To Spend A Lot Of Money
Remember, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a wonderful Christmas. One of the best presents you can give loved ones is the gift of time. Plan a coffee date, go to the cinema, spend time together. We can get overwhelmed with the festive adverts on the TV but at the end of the day it’s all about who is around the Christmas tree, not what is under it.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
