Morning ladies & happy Sunday. Seeing as we're now in December, which I can't quite get my head around as this year has gone scarily fast! I thought it perfect timing for share my top Christmas presents/stocking fillers that are £15 or under.
I'm going to sound old now but I can remember the time when you could get a nice present for under £10, perhaps if you were lucky even around the £5 mark. These days of course it's hard to find a present that looks substantial & is something you're happy to give without spending a lot more but one store I always know will have some great ideas & inspiration is Marks & Spencer. So for this month's collaboration I thought it perfect timing to feature my top picks, hopefully something for most people that you'll be looking to buy for & all £15 or under. After all Christmas is such an expensive time of year that if we can make the pennies go further all the better.
So let's get started with some beauty treats like the above nail polish treatment set. Most ladies will enjoy a little pamper & there's nothing nicer than freshly painted nails to lift the winter blues so this would make a great gift.
Likewise the above pampering set.
And there's not many people that won't enjoy lighting a candle over the dark month's especially a scented one!
Another nail polish set above that has the perfect colours for the festive season.
Or what about this luxury pampering set. Perfect as a gift to someone who will enjoy that little bit of luxury whilst getting ready for New Year's Eve.
More beauty products above. I think most ladies will always love products that give them the excuse to enjoy a little bit of pampering & me time.
Or for the enthusiastic gardener these gardening gloves are both pretty & practical.
Moving onto the males in our life with the above handy man gift set. The perfect gift for any DIY enthusiast or even a recent home leaver.
For the food enthusiast what about the above cheese baker.
Or for those that enjoy a cheeky tipple this Whisky tasting set would be ideal.
Likewise this wine & chocolate gift set, which would make a great present for any couple.
Or for those gifts that you need to post then I love the idea of the above Whisky Letterbox gift.
And for gin lovers, how about the above connoisseur gin selection. A great present that can be enjoyed with a loved one on a night in.
Or how about these hair & body beauty products.
Or even this leather card wallet.
Or maybe a warm winter scarf.
Moving onto children next with the above novelty socks.
Or for younger children you'll never go wrong with a cute cuddly toy like the above monkey or below hippo.
Then for slightly older children there's some great character toiletry sets.
Such as the above Star Wars shower set for boys.
And this Mickey & Minnie Mouse set for girls.
Or this one for boys.
Or this Disney Princess bubble bath trio for all those little princesses you know.
Marks also always do some great card & board games, which make ideal stocking fillers/Secret Santa gifts & gifts for loved ones. Some of them would also be perfect for playing round the Christmas table during all the festivities. I don't know about you but we love playing games over the festive season.
Then for older girls.
How above the above make your own bath bombs.
And for boys who like a challenge what about this jigsaw of the map of London.
Or this colourful hot air balloon jigsaw puzzle. A great way to while away the hours over Christmas whilst raiding the chocolates & it would also make an ideal family gift to.
As would this wooden solitaire puzzle. I've spent many an hour trying to get to a single marble in the centre & have still yet to succeed!
And a wooden battleships is something that can be enjoyed by all.
Some more family gifts now, such as a tin of biscuits that will be enjoyed by all the family.
To an Italian Panettone.
And finishing with a stylish & yummy box of chocolates, that you just know will be perfect for opening whilst enjoying the festive telly.
Back to today & it's a simple all blue look for a quiet day in counting down the hours until our son returns from his adventures. I can't wait to get a hug & hear all his news :-)
