Christmas Gift Guide | Main Gifts And Stocking Filler Ideas! *

-If a product is marked with an * then it PR/Gifted to me. This post is in collaboration-

I can't believe it's been a whole year since I sat down and started writing my Christmas gift guides. I'm starting off with my Main Gifts and Stocking Filler Ideas gift guide this year and then there will be a Beauty Gift Guide coming shortly too. There are quite a lot of gifts to talk about this year, I didn't realise I had so many things to talk about until I started organising everything for the gift guide posts haha. So I hope this post helps you out if you're stuck for ideas this year! I think the majority of the things in this gift guide are available online as well which I thought was handy given the current circumstances.

Feather and Down are literally my go-to brand when it comes to products which help you to relax and sleep. They've got quite a few gifts available this year, some of which are actually on my own Christmas Wishlist. However, I think the Feather and Down Massage to Sleep RRP £10* is definitely a standout gift set from their gifting range this year because you get their original Pillow Spray (50ml), Massage Soap Bar (125g) and Bath Essence (50ml) so I think it's a nice introduction gift to the brand. I swear by their pillow sprays to help me sleep/relax when I'm struggling with my anxiety! Available from the Feather and Down website and Boots.

The Nivea Soft Rose Collection Gift Set RRP £20* has a really nice selection of products for any rose lover who likes a head-to-toe pamper session. It contains their MicellAIR Skin Breathe Micellar Rose Water Wash Gel, MicellAIR Skin Breathe 2 in 1 Rose Water Cleanser & Toner, Indulgent Moisture Diamond Shower Cream, Bye Bye Dry Skin Nourishing Face Mask x2 7.5ml, Rose & Argan Oil Oil in Lotion, a Shower Puff and the Pearly Shine Caring Lip Balm. Available from Amazon. (P.S My mum has already claimed this gift set for herself lol!)

Getting a Nintendo Switch was definitely one of the better choices I made this year and not just because it's been helpful during lockdown but I also find that it's super helpful when I need to distract my mind and I think it would make a great main gift. I have the Original Nintendo Switch (priced at £279.99) because I wanted to be able to play games on the TV but I mostly use it in handheld mode. My favourite games are Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, House Flipper, and L.A. Noire.

I also think the Missguided Babe Dreams Mini EDP 10ml RRP £10* would make a great little Stocking Filler or Secret Santa gift this year. It has base notes of patchouli, rich amber and vanilla, heart notes of velvety rose with orris and violet and top notes of bergamot, pink pepper and red fruity accords. I really like the Babe Dreams scent, it kind of reminds me of a discontinued LUSH bath bomb that I used to like but I can't remember the name of it! It also lasts pretty well on the skin as well and it's a great size to pop in your bag. Available from Missguided and Superdrug. 

Something which I've actually added to my own Christmas Wishlist this year is CBD. If you know someone who uses CBD for Anxiety or for any other reason then you could pick up their favourite CBD product or introduce them to a new CBD product this Christmas. I think it's a nice way to show that you're thinking of your recipient's wellbeing.

Tropic have some lovely gifts available this year and I wanted to feature the Tropic Skincare Little Cracker of Joy Berry Smooth Hands Collection RRP £24* in this post as I think it would work really well as the main gift or a stocking filler depending on your budget. It contains a Winter Berry Hand Scrub (50ml), Winter Berry Hand Mask (50ml), Winter Berry Cuticle Oil (10ml) and a Bamboo Spatula and all of the packagings is recyclable or reusable which I think is great. I also love the design of the gift range from Tropic this year. Available from Tropic Skincare.

I just had to feature The Body Shop's Body Yogurts RRP £9 in this blog post as I think they make such a great little stocking filler. This year's Christmas range contains Warm Vanilla which I discovered in last year's range and fell in love with, as well as Festive Berry and Winter Jasmine. I just think they're a must-have if you're looking for a lovely scented, fast-drying body moisturiser.

I came across the Bomb Cosmetics "Joy" Cracker RRP £7.99 recently and I just had to pick one up as a gift for someone because I think it's an absolute steal for the price. You get three full-size Bath Blasters all of which are different in both the design and scents and the cracker itself is super pretty as well. There were some other crackers to choose from as well but I just really liked the design of the "Joy" one. Available from Amazon.

Slippers always go down well at Christmas whether you're buying them as a stocking filler or as a main gift, nobody can be sad abut getting slippers (or maybe it's just because I'm just getting older lol). I tend to buy slippers from either Geroge at Asda, B&M or Nutmeg at Morrison's.

Baylis & Harding are one of my go-to brands for affordable gifts both at Christmas and for birthdays. Their limited edition Cranberry Martini Festive Bauble Bath Bubbles RRP £5.99* would make a great stocking filler or secret Santa gift. It smells super Christmassy. Another great little stocking filler from Baylis & Harding that you could pick up for someone this Christmas is The Fuzzy Duck Cotsworld Floral Wrapped Soap Giftset RRP £6* the fragrances include Wild Flower Meadow and Woodland Bluebell which are both clean, floral scents so this set would obviously make a great gift for someone who likes their floral scents. These also work well as hand soap and they leave your skin feeling super soft. Both gifts are available from Amazon.

A Baylis & Harding gift set that I think would work really well as a main gift this year is the Luxury Hand Care Set RRP £9.99* with contains their Gin & Tonic Hand Wash and Sloe Gin Hand and Body Lotion which both sit in a holder. I think that this set would make a perfect addition to anyone's bathroom this winter. I really love the Sloe Gin scent in this range, I actually ended up buying two of the Sloe Gin candles that were in last year's range because I was obsessed. Available from Amazon, Boots and Next.

The Sanctuary Spa Signature Showstopper Gift Set RRP £40* comes in a gorgeous vibrant, reusable box and it comes with everything you need for a full-on pamper session including their signature scented Body Wash, Luxury Bath Float, Salt Scrub, Hand Cream, Body Scrub, Moisture Burst Face Wash, Ultra Rich Wet Skin Moisture Miracle, Heel Balm and a Nail File. Available from Sanctuary, Superdrug and Amazon. It's also on offer for £20 as I'm writing this which makes it even more of a steal!

Pyjamas are always a good idea if you're really stuck for ideas at Christmas although you'll probably end up buying yourself some Christmas pyjamas whilst browsing (like I've done this year!). I tend to buy my pyjamas from ASOS, George at Asda and Nutmeg at Morrisons.
