Looking for gifts this festive season? — from great stocking-fillers, to Secret Santa ideas, to more luxurious gifts, we have compiled a list of some of our favourites!
- Tropics Skincare is an amazing brand that really focuses on natural, sustainable ingredients in all of its products, keeping your skincare routine free of endocrines and parabens. They have a range of products according to differing skin types, so you can be sure to find your match. This starter set is a great way to test out a few of their products and be introduced to the brand, so we would definitely recommend! They are also adapting their packaging to include re-fillable options, to reduce their impact on the environment.
2. Mielle Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
- This oil is brilliant for those who are trying to restore their hair naturally. It has an array of uses and benefits including tending to split ends, moisturising the hair follicles at your scalp, and more. Using essential oils and natural, organic ingredients, this is a big winner for those who want to stay away from man-made chemicals.
3. Fluxies
- Want to gift someone a sustainable present? Fluxies are reusable period pants, coming in a huge range of styles and flows — allowing the recipient of your gift to stop using disposable tampons and pads, therefore reducing their carbon footprint and reducing material sent to landfill. Yo are also able to try these risk-free with a 60-day money back guarantee.
- These gift sets are a great luxurious treat, especially for those who love their homes — containing both a wax candle and a home mist. There are a range of scents to choose from, so whatever is more your kind of feel, they have you covered!
5. Book a test!
- In a shameless self-plug, we really think the gift of health and support cannot be matched. Our tests and packages cover a whole spectrum of issues including: digestion, nutrition, hormones, fertility, menopause and more — so you really can tailor your package to fit specific needs and problems. Allowing a loved one to invest in their health really is something special!
6. Positive Affirmations Box
- Gifting a friend a little box filled with positive words is a really thoughtful gift that doesn’t break the bank. You can have a look online for inspiration, or ones you can buy directly, or you can embrace your creative side and make your own! There’s nothing sweeter than a gift that has had a lot of thought and effort behind it!
- This body oil feels great, and if you purchase it before the New Year, you will be able to purchase it with tiny bits of gold pearly particles in it. This can give you a golden glow to brighten yourself up in the evenings, while also smelling wonderful.
8. Eco-friendly Bottle and Flask
- Frank Green has a beautiful gift set containing a ceramic reusable cup with a push button lid, and a ceramic reusable bottle with a straw lid. These are made from FDA and EU approved materials, as well as being BPA free. So, these gift sets are not just great for the planet, but great for your health!
9. Book a Spa Day!
- Whether with a significant other, best-friend, family member, or anyone you feel like bringing, a spa day is a really luxurious gift to give. There are loads of different packages online through sites such as Wowcher and Virgin Experience Days, so you really can adapt to different budgets. This is a lovely way to make sure to get some quality time with a loved one this festive period — while treating your body to a well-deserved break after what can be an intense month. This gift is of course on the pricier side, but you may be able to split this with the other person in question as a treat to each other!
- We love a luxurious bath, however heavily coloured and scented bath products can disrupt the natural pH of our vaginas, and leave us more susceptible to infections such as UTIs. These lavender bath salts are Certified COSMOS Natural, Cruelty Free, Vegan Approved and have lavender essential oils to give a lovely scent.
11. Faith in Nature Coconut Soap
- This soap is a brilliant stocking filler this Christmas! Faith in Nature’s soap contains no SLS or parabens, vegan society approved & cruelty free, as well as being made with 100% essential oils and natural fragrance. So you can smell great while also looking after your skin!
- Want a slightly sexier gift? This vegan and organic lubricant is a brilliant investment to help maintain a healthy vaginal environment. It has an intimately balanced pH, and so minimises the risk of irritation.
13. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
- It’s no surprise that this cream features on our list — as it is so popular already! This moisturiser is known for hydrating your skin, creating a plumper looking finish that leaves you feeling nourished. You can make this extra special by adding the option to personalise it!
14. Beeswax Wrap
- This is the perfect gift for the eco-conscious — being a brilliant alternative for single-use plastic cling film. These organic wraps are very long-lasting (around a year_, and once you have finished with them you simply have to bury them in your garden, where they will naturally biodegrade.
15. Photo-frames
This may not be the most inventive idea, but printing out a photo you love, or creating a collage of memories is a lovely way to remind your loved one of all of the great times you have shared together. There are plenty of photo frames on Notonthehighstreet which can add an extra special touch!
We hope these have given you some inspiration if you are struggling with what to get your loved ones this Christmas. However, whatever you decide on, or if you decide on nothing at all, just know what’s most important is really not the gifts, but the quality time and love you give.
