Welcome back!
I’m here with another gift guide for you. This time I’m focusing on the little things that you could gift for Secret Santa, in a stocking or even just because. Again, most of these are from small shops (although there is one that definitely isn’t this time) who I know would love your support this year.
If you missed my last gift guide, it’s not too late to check it out here.
Everyone needs toiletries but it’s nice to try and make them a little bit more special. Recently, I discovered Bubble & Bathe on Etsy and decided to pick up some little bits for family and friends. It’s a bit of a risk buying smellies online but I needn’t have worried. As soon as I opened the box, I could smell just how lovely they were!
I decided to pick up two hand creams: Rhubarb and Pear & Freesia. Although they are both beautiful, the rhubarb is my favourite and I’m quite tempted to keep it for myself if I am honest! I also decided to grab some of the Shower Steamers which seem like a lovely gift for someone without a tub. I’ll have to ask my friend to report back on these after they have used them.
I think another lovely idea is a Christmas decoration. Previously, I’ve picked these up from Typo and Paperchase but this year, I decided to grab this one from Vintage Designs. I am obsessed with gonks this year so I have zero shame in admitting that this one is for me! I’ve also grabbed another present from them this year but the giftee is an avid reader so I can’t share that one.
You could also gift something like this keyring from Snapfish or some stationery from Dorkface. I’ve included a notepad, some stickers and a pin in this gift guide but there is so much to choose from on the Dorkface site and it is so affordable. I’ve gifted Dorkface products for years and they are always exceptionally popular. I may or may not have a bookmark from there which I’ll be slipping into someone’s present this year but I couldn’t give that one away!
Hopefully, this gives you a few more ideas about the little bits you could gift this year. What is your favourite stocking stuffer or secret santa gift?
