After sharing my ideas for Gifts For Her Over £30, next up in my Christmas Gift Guide series, we have stocking fillers. With everything costing under £15, these smaller gifts have got every interest covered, whether your loved one is a bookworm, chocoholic or beauty-addict.
We all need a pretty mug to make us smile when we drink our tea/coffee/hot chocolate (delete as appropriate) on miserable, winter mornings. Anthropologie sell the most beautiful crockery and the Anthropologie Gold Monogram Mugs make a wonderful, personalised gift.
To unwind after the busy, festive period, nothing is more relaxing than a hot bath. Lush's range of individual bath bombs, melts and bubble bars are perfect to pop into a stocking and their Christmas range is jam-packing with exciting products. My favourite of the bunch is Lush's Magic Of Christmas Bubble Bar, which is infused with nourishing ingredients and warming scents, including cinnamon, clove, almond and orange.
Jewellery is always a good shout to add a bit of sparkle to any stocking. I'd be shocked if anyone didn't love these Topshop Orelia Tiny Star Stud Earrings, as they're pretty and simple. I love stars, especially when they're rose gold!
A little drop of someone's favourite tipple is always a nice addition, as long as they're old enough to drink, of course. Gin is my beverage of choice, so a Monkey 47 Gin Miniature would be much appreciated in my stocking, but you could hide any mini spirit, wine or liquor in there.
Who doesn't love to indulge in some chocolate at Christmas time? Hotel Chocolat's Pocket Christmas Selection contains a couple of four different chocolates, all of which are infused with festive flavours, including gingerbread and chai. Delicious!
A good book is always a winner and top of my reading list, at the moment, is After The Crash by Michel Bussi. Set in 1980, this compelling thriller charts the events following a plane crash and the mystery surrounding the sole surviver of the tragedy, a baby girl. Two families claim her, one rich and one poor, but the police investigation struggles to work out the truth. Eighteen years later, one detective uncovers a crucial secret, but is murdered before he can solve the case...
Seeing as it's quite a seasonal drink, it may be nice to treat a hot chocolate lover to an indulgent, quality blend, this Christmas. Whittard are experts in all hot drinks, but their drinking chocolate flavours are just to die for. Take the Whittard Vanilla Caramel Flaked Hot Chocolate, for example - how dreamy does that sound?
For anyone who likes to carry makeup in their handbag or travels a lot, a new, cosmetic bag will always come in handy. The flamingo print of this Bagsy Cosmetic Bag is quirky and stands out. Despite looking more high-end, it's so affordable and is big enough to stash all the essentials, without being bulky.
To repair weather-beaten skin, a hand cream is vital and makes a lovely gift. Who wants a plain, boring formula, though? Scented with gourmande fragrances, the Laura Mercier Hand Cremes are divine. Not only do they smell good enough to eat, but the formula is so moisturising, yet sinks into the skin in minutes.There's no greasy residue left behind, just silky soft skin!
What do you hope to find in your stocking, this Christmas?
