A Seasonal Gift Guide 2023

Christmas is fast approaching and my household is definitely thinking ahead to the festive season. My activity advent is almost ready to go, the tree booked for delivery and I’ve made a big dint in my Christmas shopping already. I don’t go overboard on the present buying but I do like to spoil my kiddos just a little. I’ve been keeping notes as I’ve been shopping, and sharing some of my favourites in this Seasonal Gift Guide.

Here are a few things that are on various Christmas Lists this year.

HIM // HER

iFLY // Tiki Mugs // Ritual Cacao // Antique Earrings

Diffuser Set // An Apothecary of Art // CleanCo – alcohol free spirits // True Nature Retreats

Gifts for the adults we buy far can be tricky – I don’t like buying gifts for the sake of it, or buying novelty items that will be in the charity bag by the end of January. Experiences are always good – the iFLY indoor skydiving looks absolutely amazing and a True Nature Retreat sounds like something I would love! These Tiki Mugs are super cute and definitely something that would get used. If you’re looking for something extra special for a lady in your life, these gorgeous antique earrings are bound to win you some brownie points! They are absolutely stunning, and I know that I’d be happy to find them under the tree!

Cacao Crumbles for the tastiest drink. For those who don’t drink alcohol – the Clean Co makes some amazing alcohol-free spirits – this rum looks delicious. I love diffusers in the bathroom – and they’re perfect for Uni students like my daughter who aren’t allowed candles in their dorm rooms! Lastly, the An Apothecary of Art book is so beautiful and soul-lifting – it’s a definite present for those you love.

LITTLE KIDS // BIG KIDS

Love In Winter Wonderland // Rainbow Bath Bomb // Mario Home Circuit // An Atlas of Legendary Places

Scooter // Have you Seen the New Forest Unicorn? // Beginners Tarot Cards // Badminton Set

Whether you’re buying for little kids, or the harder-to-buy for teens, then here are a few ideas! If you’re shopping for little ones, this LED scooter will make them very happy. An Atlas of Legendary Places is a wonderful book full of myth, culture, natural beauty, and history, showcasing 18 fascinating places around the world, it’s sure to capture you’re kids imaginations.

For slightly older kiddos, this badminton set {complete with net} promises hours of fun in the garden, the ‘Have you Seen the New Forest Unicorn’ book is a perfect read-together story, and the Mario Home Circuit for the Switch looks like a tonne of fun! For those teens – I love the look of this Beginners Tarot Card Set, Love in Winter Wonderland is the perfect holiday read and the Rainbow Bath Bomb is sure to get you some brownie points.

STOCKING FILLERS

Slime // Nomo Chocolates // My First Battle // Plus Plus Tubes

Moon Journal // Bracelet // Pulsin Protein Bars // Facial Oil

Stockings are one of my favourite parts of Christmas, and I love buying bits to put in them! I love these Joma bracelets – perfect for any teen/girl stocking filler. The facial oil from Wild Violet Apothecary is the only thing I’ll use on my face. I cannot wait to start using my Moon Journal – I have their Moon Calendar every year too.

For little ones, the My First Battle Pokemon Deck is a great introduction to playing Pokemon and this slime set will be popular, and the Plus Plus tubes will keep them occupied and quiet for an hour or two!! Nomo Chocolate makes a wonderful treat for any Vegans, and these Pulsin Protein Bars are a great healthy stocking filler.
