For the Gin lovers: Mermaid Gin

Gifting alcohol doesn’t have to be boring, especially when it’s a gorgeous bottle of Mermaid gin! This gin has got to be one of the prettiest bottle designs I’ve seen on the market, representing a mystical sea creature, the mermaid; I know it will make a perfect Christmas gift for a gin fanatic. The bottle is 100% recyclable down to the natural cork and decorated using biodegradable paint making it super eco-friendly. The rich sea-blue colouring gradient to a vibrant turquoise makes it stand out from the crowd!

For the creative: DIY Decorations, Biscuiteers

Earlier in the summer, I was invited to the Biscuiteers cafe for their special afternoon tea; I saw they had an icing cafe where you could ice your biscuits. For the creative, designing your own set of biscuits would be a fun activity to do around the festive period. Not only will you enjoy icing the biscuits, but you’ll also enjoy devouring them too! In the DIY biscuit decorating kit, you will get 12 ready-baked gingerbread biscuits in the shape of baubles, piping bags, icing sugar, red food colouring and a range of colourful decorations. I think this would make a great Christmas gift for someone who has a sweet tooth, a gingerbread lover or an artistic person!

For the skincare connoisseur: StylPRO Fridge

When I was younger, I remember my nan storing her beauty products in the fridge; when I came across the StylPRO mini-fridge, I was sold! Nan knows best! Research has shown that refrigerating your beauty products keeps the ingredients fresher for longer and prevents bacterial growth. Also, when your products stand chilled, they perform better as they not only depuff your skin and tighten your pores; they maximise product performance. I love the sleek white design with rose-gold typeface and handles; it looks expensive and luxurious. What is more elegant than having a skincare fridge, right?!

For the best friend: Friendship bracelets by Shop Honu

Shop Honu have such a beautiful range of ocean-inspired jewellery pieces that make such thoughtful gifts. Each design comes with a meaningful note adding that special touch to your gift-giving. The sterling silver, ‘you mean the world to me’ bracelet is a favourite of mine as the pendant is in the shape of the world and it’s a delicate piece which looks stunning on! The chain measures 17cm, including a 6cm extender and is made from recycled sterling silver. Another reason Shop Honu is my go-to for buying gifts is that their invoices don’t include the price and all of their deliveries fit through the letterbox. You can add a personalised gift message too at the checkout if you’d like to make it even more special. They sell, rings, necklaces, anklets, and earrings and they’ve recently brought out a new collection of candles!

For the party people: Ron Santiago Cuba Rum

Rum cocktails are my absolute favourite, the aromas of vanilla, coconut and dry almond notes make for a delicious cocktail! If you’re a rum lover, then this 11-year-old rum is the perfect choice for a gift this Christmas. I’d recommend making a rum daiquiri which requires only three simple ingredients, rum, lime juice, and a flavoured syrup of your choosing! You’re also able to personalise the bottle which makes it look super sleek and adds a thoughtful touch for gift-giving which you’re available to do here

I would love to thank all the brands involved in this Christmas gift guide and wish every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
