Gifts for Beautiful Mummies, Grannies and Sisters
If they love to be pampered … Personalised toiletries from Button & Wilde
I fell in love with Button & Wilde the moment I saw their logo and I was so relieved when I opened the gorgeous packaging that the products don’t just look beautiful, but they smell amazing too. On the Button & Wilde website you can choose your product, the scent, bottle shape and label type. You can then personalise the label by changing text and adding an image. There are lots of templates to choose from or you can choose a beautiful ready made design. They cost from £11.99 for 250ml depending on the product chosen.If they are stylish…Caroline Zip Travel Case from WOLF
I love this compact jewellery case by WOLF (affiliate link). It’s perfect to take travelling, or if you are a busy Mum to keep your favourite jewellery accessible and help remind you to actually wear it. In a choice of colours (including rose quartz, red, cream and black) the inside has a mirror, 7 ring rolls, 4 compartments and 3 necklace hooks with pockets, all within a zipped up box which will keep the jewellery safe from little fingers. £49
If they have a little one on the way…Sophie’s Hat Knitting Kit
Sophie La Girafe is a hugely popular teether and this exclusive collaboration with Stitch & Story brings some beautiful new gift ideas. My favourite is this kit to knit a cute Sophie La Girafe hat. It comes complete with wonderfully soft merino yarn, bamboo needles, knitting pattern and basic instructions on how to knit. The pattern allows you to knit any size from newborn up to 2 years so there is plenty of time for them to make it if they don’t manage before baby arrives. It's quick to knit for someone that knows what they are doing, but achievable for a beginner and I love the end result. £24.99 Gifts for Deserving Daddies, Grandads and Brothers
If they are a man who likes to take care of their face...Bull Dog Skincare Duo
Toiletries and socks are often joked about presents for Dad’s, but in my experience they are two things men in my life actually need so they are practical presents which will get used. Bull Dog have a great range of products from beard oil through to face scrub. This skincare duo gift set contains their hydrating Original Moisturiser and non-drying Original Face Wash. Great quality skincare with a masculine edge. £10 If they love to feel in control….a motion control drone
We love a drone in our house and this Motion Control drone is lots of fun. You hold the controller in your hand and control it’s movement by moving your hand around. It feels so much more futuristic than a normal remote controlled drone, the only problem is you’ll start thinking you can control everything by waving your hands around. It definitely encourages some silly behaviour and pretending to "use the force", or maybe that's just my family? £34.99If they need to keep their hands busy… Professor Pengelly’s Thermo Reactive Putty
This special putty does what any putty does: it can be squished, bounced, sculpted, stretched, but it also changes colour from reddy orange to yellow when held (other colours available). The colour changes quickly and you can watch it fade as soon as you let go. A great way for people to reduce stress or increase focus. £9.99Gifts for lovers … of Food and Drink (so pretty much everyone)
If they love sweets and cocktails…Bellini Bon Bons
A bottle of fizz makes for a lovely, but obvious present, so why not give these Bellini bon bons instead? They taste delicious and can be enjoyed at anytime of day because they are alcohol free. The 400g jar will last for a while and you can personalise the name so who ever you give them too wont have to share them with anyone. £11.99 If they love chocolate…Bettys chocolate coated caramel bites
The reputation for Bettys cafés has spread far beyond the north of England where they are based, but fortunately they deliver so whether you fancy giving someone a chocolate cake or these delicious chocolate coated caramel bites their website is worth looking at. As is the way with 'proper' food the shelf life is fairly short on many items so don’t order too far ahead and it might be worth calling to check if you want them for a particular date. The caramel bites combine biscuit, caramel and chocolate and cost £7.95If they love to take the biscuit…Crabtree & Evelyn Musical Shortbread Tin
Biscuits make a great gift because you can spend more on quality biscuits than people would generally spend buying them for themselves and they still won’t be very expensive. As a bonus you can buy biscuits in a fancy tin to keep them fresh and protected. This musical tin from Crabtree & Evelyn is fun, beautiful and filled with lovely mini shortcake biscuits made by a family run bakery in Edinburgh. If you twist the tin round it plays a cheerful tune. £15If they love a good pun … One in a melon mug
Being a parent seems to go hand in hand with drinking mugs of tea and coffee. Add a spoonful of love and a sprinkle of humour and you get the ideal present. This One In A Melon mug can be personalised to say any name making it perfect for a special person. It's chunky enough it should keep their cuppa warm for a while, but unfortunately it doesn't come with a guarantee of 5 minutes peace. Maybe you could include a handmade voucher for one of those? £8.99If they love a cup of tea…Spiced Caramel Black Leaf Tea from East India Tea Company
The East India Tea Company has a great selection of tea, but my current favourite is the spiced caramel black leaf tea. It has a definite taste of caramel and several layers of flavour making it memorable and delicious. The black tea is blended with the spices: nutmeg, cinnamon and star anise as well as orange peel, golden raisins, flaked almond and vanilla and caramel flavourings. £15If they love a fruity tipple...handmade vodka or gin from Espensen Spirit
A gift guide for parents wouldn’t be complete without some alcohol and I love the selection from Espensen Spirit. The bottles look awesome and they taste delicious too so they make a great present for any vodka or gin lover. They are handmade in Bristol by an all woman team and they make donations from the sales of the 20cl and 50cl bottles to small local charities. The range includes Blueberry Gin, Rhubarb & Custard Vodka, Pink Grapefruit & Raspberry Vodka, Raspberry Gin and Gooseberry Vodka. There is also a limited edition Sloe Vodka which they will donate 20p from every 20cl bottle sale to a local Bristol LGBT charity. The 5cl bottles make perfect stocking fillers if Father Christmas needs a top up. £30 for a 50cl bottle.***Disclosure: most of the items in this gift guide were gifted to me for inclusion in the guide, but all of them have been personally selected by me. Prices correct at time of publishing.
I’m sure lots of women would love the Daddies gifts and men the Mummies gifts, I just wanted to break down the sections to make it easier so please don't be offended. Many of these products are from small companies who would hugely value your custom. Thank you***
