Christmas Gift Guide – Men, Women & Home (& Bonus Giveaway!)

Time for my final gift guide. I’ve got a real mix for you here today – some really exciting items, some practical items for around the home… a little something for everyone!

This desk diary Every Day Matters by Dani DiPerro (£12.99) is just so pretty that I am so tempted to start using it already! I don’t know about you but I love getting a new diary as a present at Christmas – especially one this size which enables me to pencil in family appointments and work without getting confused.

Squeeky Clean were a brand I hadn’t heard too much of except for the brand name. They are slowly making a name for themselves with some amazing products in their range. You can win some on my blog here.

Another set of products that I am currently giving away (click here), Vaseline have really upped their game in recent years. Offering fantastic gift bundles packaged in gorgeous packaging, any lady would love to see these in her stocking come Christmas.

    You can’t beat a good handbag for a Christmas present and they don’t have to break the bank either. This one is currently retailing at a little over £18 and it has made its way onto my wishlist!

Most of the women I know adore candles so these wax tarts are sure to go down very well! I already have a massive collection or else I’d be succumbing to temptation and buying some!

For the gentlemen

Men are notoriously hard to buy for. Socks, pants, aftershave and video games are the general consensus. What do you get the guy who seemingly has everything? Steve is very tough to buy for so he often gets a whole mismatch of goodies come Christmas Day.

Steve loves spicy things, jams and chutneys. I have already bought him something from the Butler’s Grove selection with some Amazon vouchers I had but there are so many other items to choose from – this Butler’s Grove Hot ‘n’ Spicy Collection may work its way onto my present list for his birthday in February.

If your man is anything like my Steve, then technology is a major plus point when it comes to gift giving. I know that something like this Blu-Ray Home Cinema system is on his Christmas wishlist and whilst I can’t afford it right now, it would make an awesome gift for anyone.

Another great gift idea is some skincare. How about something from the skincare range at House Of Fraser? Particularly from the Clinique range? Their Great Skin For Him products always go down incredibly well and to celebrate this, I have a set of the Great Skin To Go For Him to giveaway – just scroll to the bottom for the giveaway!

For the home

Presents for the male or female in your life can be romantic, silly or even practical. I’ve had a few things on my wishlist for a while now to make my working life a little easier – working from home isn’t always the easiest so anything that makes my job a little easier would be a great gift in my eyes.

Whilst this is meant to be a stationery cupboard, this would be fantastic for my home office. I could obviously keep my spare stationery in there but it would also be a handy place to store extra SD cards, chargers, tech stuff and even non time sensitive review products – I currently have a few review books in the cupboard of my computer desk which is falling apart so it would be great to have a place to store them without fearing them getting mixed up with my own TBR pile.

Another few items needed in my home in general are pictured above – this Fellowes Shredder has proved invaluable since it turned up. I’m always drowning under a sea of paperwork so it is nice to be able to dispose of it quickly and easily. We’ve been looking at getting a air purifier for a while now so this offering from Fellowes couldn’t have come at a better time.

Finally – enough with the practical stuff. We all love silly stuff for the home so here are a few of my favourite products from around the web:

Prank Electric Stun Pen | Guitar Shaped Handheld Cheese Grater 

Monty Python’s Really Silly Board Game
