OUR BEST AND MOST COMPREHENSIVE GIFT GUIDE YET!
The 2025 Adults Christmas Gift Guides are looking a little different this year. Feedback is that readers want candid photos of what they get from the retailer. The packaging and how it comes in the post. We usually publish His & Hers guides, but had some requests to combine them for a more inclusive, bumper guide and we are so excited to show off the wonderful products and brands. Buy one or two gifts that they will love rather than over buy gimmicky ones that will live in the back of a cupboard. Ask what people need or would like.
We have made it easy to see the retailer, price, postage info etc, including our own review as a customer in our product descriptions. (Always check websites’ last postage before Christmas dates.)
P.s Check if websites have discounts to sign up to mailing lists before you buy – every little helps and most offer between 10-20% off on first purchase. So, let’s jump right in and get shopping!

Founded in 1990, Summersdale is a vibrant English independent publisher that puts its heart and soul into creating exceptional books – personally, I think they have a particularly good collection of health/wellbeing and new age titles. The Nature Puzzle Book (by Kitty Greenbrown) is an attractive green embossed hardback book with 240 pages. Filled with trees, plants, and creatures great and small, this collection of 200 nature-themed puzzles (including brainteasers/crosswords/word searches/anagrams) is perfect for lovers of the great outdoors. I love the way it is set out with multiple types of activity both quick and leisurely, and it is great to keep the mind active. If you are looking for a pocket-sized book then The Little Book of Trees: An Introduction to the Folklore, Magick and Mysticism of Trees by Felicity Hart is an ideal gift. Whilst this is a paperback (128 pages) I appreciate the attention to detail in the cover design and embossing is just as high as a hardback. Content-wise wise the book offers a comprehensive guide to trees in folklore, tree mythologies, ancient traditions and the role of trees in various cultures. Uncover the secrets of the forest with this bewitching guide to tree legends, symbols and spells. It is very engaging and informative.

This gentle read unveils the extraordinary power of walking, helping you to reconnect with the outside world and transform this everyday exercise into a soul-enriching practice.

Jana Reinhardt Sterling Silver Tiny Penguin Necklace RRP £115.

They have created a beautiful animal charity collection to increase awareness and raise money for animal rights issues. Every piece is sustainably handmade, packaging is plastic-free and they signed up with Ecologi to sponsor a tree with every jewellery sale. A Christmas bestseller of this compassionate jewellery is this beautiful 925 recycled Sterling Silver Tiny Penguin Necklace. Buy for the festive season and wear all year round my photos do not give justice to the high quality of the craftsmanship, the adorable three-dimensional body and little face of the penguin with highly polished appearance. It is just a charming piece. The penguin measures 9 x 7 x 6mm and is also available in 9ct or 18ct solid gold and platinum. Looking for personalisation? The necklace can be engraved with up to 3 characters on the back (£15 engraving charge). I love the dainty look, being minimalist with my jewellery choices but there is also a larger version of this pendant if you would like to size up. Buyers have the option to add either a 16”-18” or 20”-22” inch length of delicate, adjustable 1.2mm trace chain, depending on the wearer’s preference. The chain fastens with a 5mm spring ring, which is my favoured easy to use clasp. The necklace comes in a beautiful presentation box, so you don’t need to worry about finding something attractive to put it in before gifting. Though for just £1 the store will also wrap the box, so save time and add that to the buying option! Check out the other products from Polar Nights Collection (including coordinating earrings).

“Penguins are known for their remarkable adaptability and resilience, thriving in some of the harshest environments on Earth. Wearing a penguin necklace can represent perseverance and the ability to endure life’s challenges with grace and determination. Penguins are also emblematic of community and familial bonds, as they are highly social animals that rely on close cooperation and teamwork within their colonies. This makes the penguin a symbol of loyalty, unity, and the strength found in togetherness.”
Bee Mission Christmas Hampers from (RRP from £30.90).
Bee Mission is seeking to help the bees by building and installing 500 beehives across the South of England on school roofs, in community gardens, on farms, in people’s gardens etc. As primary pollinators, honeybees play a crucial role in plant reproduction and food production. British bee populations are declining rapidly due to pesticides, parasites, disease and habitat loss, and that’s why Bee Mission is building beehives and creating habitats for our very important bees. Bee Mission beekeepers look after the hives, share with the host, and the rest gets turned into delicious products. Bee Mission is also passionate about creating opportunities for people facing homelessness. The second mission is to continue cooking hot, healthy, homemade meals to deliver to the people living on the streets in Bournemouth, Dorset. Bee Mission have been doing this since 2019 – 50 meals, three times a week, every week which equates to a staggering 31,200 meals per year! The third act of kindness is creating opportunities for people experiencing homelessness to be involved in Bee Mission; to learn new skills, to go on training courses that will help them progress in life, and to be part of the Bee Mission ‘family’. Now that is a lot of information about the charity, but I did feel like it was an important and very special component of reasoning why to purchase from them.
Their online shop sells wonderful handmade produce, and for the festive season, they offer three sizes of Christmas Hamper, lovingly prepared and wrapped by one of the Bee Mission team. You unbox the sturdy cardboard container to find decorative tissue paper and a lovely bee sticker, covering a plastic-protected basket filled with festive decorations. The Medium Hamper (RRP £34) contains a large jar of delicious homemade honey (280ml) from the Bee Mission hives, a jar of special recipe Honey & Cinnamon Peanut Butter (110ml), Honey and Rhubarb Chutney (190ml), six Christmas Beeswax Melts, and a Christmas Spice Beeswax Candle. The scents on both are gentle but delicious. We also got a sample of the Spicy Honey Vinaigrette (100ml) that is both an amazing colour, flavour and a really unique product. The Bee Mission Christmas hamper is the perfect present to give to a loved one, or as a delicious addition to your own Christmas. Postage and Packaging is £7.90.

The print quality of the Evolve journal is good, with clear text that is easy to read. Evolve uses practical manifestation to work daily towards your biggest goal. I like that every day they encourage you to ‘Eat the frog’ – complete your most difficult task first. The quality of the paper is excellent and wonderful to write on.

Beauty Dropz tablet free edible skincare RRP £14.99.
Beauty and wellbeing gifts are always popular with our readers, and healthy skin starts from within, so let me introduce Beauty Dropz. The brand with a fresh take on ingestible beauty supplements. Instead of pills or powders, these are daily oral liquid vitamin drops that you take under the tongue. Beauty Dropz brand ethos is simple: beauty should be easy, enjoyable & effective. They work from the inside out to provide targeted solutions for your skincare needs. Whether at home or on-the-go, take these daily drops for fast nutrient absorption and long-term results. Each of the five formulas is designed with a specific beauty benefit in mind. You can pick from Marine Collagen – formulated to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, boost skin elasticity, and reveal a more radiant, youthful glow. Bursting with orange flavour, this blend is infused with soothing aloe vera and the hydrating power of tremella mushroom. It is not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Looking to boost hydration? Choose the Hyaluronic Dropz. These berry-flavoured drops are infused with skin-loving Vitamin C, B5, and zinc to deeply hydrate and support a radiant, youthful glow from within. I am intrigued by the Retinol berry-flavoured drops, powered by Vitamins A and E. The pale teal coloured boxed Niacinamide Dropz have a refreshing pineapple flavour to combat blemish-prone and oily skin. What I predict will be a sell-out is the grape Hair Hero biotin-rich drops infused with zinc and selenium to help strengthen hair follicles and maintain their integrity, supporting thickness, growth, and a healthy scalp from the inside out. The 60ml compact bottles offer 30 servings, 2 pipettes a day and are a yes from me because of their ease of use. You can purchase them from Boots or Holland & Barrett.

There is a huge variety of styles, and we feature the sparkling design of this lipstick sized charger as it is just so eye-catching (available in black, silver and purple). This mini charger has 22.5W output power which ensures a fast-charging experience. The small but mighty design features a 5000mAh charging capacity with a built-in USB-C connector, so you don’t need to worry about taking an extra cable with this lightning port. Overall it is really handy product. The power bank itself is easy to charge at home. Just use the included USB-C to USB-C Cable and a suitable plug. You can purchase this off Amazon (FREE delivery with Prime) and the selling page just beneath the item description has a compatibility checker so you can ensure that the charger works with your devices before purchase, which is a useful tool!
Neutrogena® Collagen Bank Moisturizer (RRP £24.99 on SALE £16.66), Clear and Defend+ Blemish Patches (RRP £9.99) and Clear and Defend+ Face Wash (RRP £7.49).
Neutrogena® is a well-known American skincare brand, committed to delivering compromise-free products that make a real and long-lasting difference. If you are looking for a daily anti-ageing face and neck cream (suitable for all skin types) the Neutrogena® Collagen Bank Face Moisturiser is a perfect choice. This moisturiser is created with naturally derived collagen: plant-based antioxidant bakuchiol which offers a gentler alternative to retinol. The generous 50ml pot has patented Micro-peptide Technology: 2x smaller than leading anti-ageing peptides to penetrate more than 10 surface layers deep. I really like the packaging for this cream as you can squeeze it straight onto your face with the pump head without having to dip your finger into a tub. This non-greasy, fast-absorbing moisturiser is fragrance-free. Paraben-free. Phthalate-free, non-comedogenic. It is thick but does not overload the skin, and it absorbs quickly. I like that it doesn’t have a strong scent. If you are buying beauty products, why not buy a couple of complementary products from the same brand as stocking fillers? Neutrogena® Clear and Defend+ Blemish Patches (24) are ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches ideal to have in your cupboard for bad skin days. Each single-use patch absorbs impurities, helps blemishes appear smaller after just one use helping prevent post-acne marks. Use for at least 8 hours or overnight, then remove used patch and dispose. The adhesive is quality, so it means they don’t fall off. The Clear and Defend+ Face Wash 200ml comes in a handy pump bottle and includes Salicylic Acid and a blend of AHA (Glycolic Acid) and PHA (Gluconolactone), which help cleanse, refine, and boost skin radiance. The wash can improve the appearance of acne marks and boost skin radiance. I like that it is fragrance free. Boots currently have a deal save 1/3 when you buy 2 products.

Bedsure offers soft and stylish plaids, blankets and bedding designed for comfort in all seasons. The Bedsure Printed Blanket Hoodie has universal appeal for all genders and ages, loved by teens, parents and grandparents! This oversized sherpa-lined hoodie is the ultimate blend of comfort and practicality, perfect for chilly mornings, movie marathons, or working from home in style. With over 10,000 glowing reviews on Amazon and a #1 Best Seller ranking in wearable blankets, its 300gsm OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 fabric is super soft, in an oversized fit with pockets and a hood. I like that the size means you can tuck your legs up in like a blanket. We feature the Strawberry design, but it is available in a variety of colours. The hoodie does not shed its shaggy Sherpa fabric and still looks great after 4 washes (at 30 degrees), so it is an easy-care item. It washes well and maintains its softness and shape after multiple uses. It was delivered quickly, safely & well packed in a blue branded box.
