I have been so bad at buying my gifts this year, not my usual style, but this morning, I found myself still thinking about what to get some of my family members. So, if you, like me, have left it until the last minute, here are some ideas.
I have picked retailers that offer a collect-in-store option or have a few days left until the last posting date, so you still have time to find that perfect gift.
1. You can never go wrong with a candle in my eyes. I love them, light one most days, so need a steady supply. I love Neom, and this festive red and white striped one is gorgeous.

2. A milk warmer for cosy hot chocolates and coffees would be a welcome addition to my kitchen. I love this Dualit one, I have a few Dualit product,s and they are really built to last.

3. Pyjamas are an excellent Christmas purchase. I would love a pair of them every year. I have so many, but I will always love another pair. These classic beige ones with piping are comfortable and stylish.

4. These Le Creuset cups are amazing. We had them as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and there is still one of my favourite presents I’ve ever been given. The matte black is a great colour!

5. These clothbound books by Penguin are wonderful. I’ve asked for a few different titles for Christmas, but this Christmas Carol version is so pretty and would make a fantastic gift that people use again and again.

6. This hand cream set with a William Morris bag is an absolute classic. It contains a drawstring makeup bag, which I love. It’s the perfect gift for an older female who might know William Morris’ work or someone like me who loves William Morris’ work!

7. Magazine subscription. Over the years, I’ve had magazine subscriptions as presents, and I always think they’re amazing. They are the gift that keeps on giving. There are some fantastic deals, including £6 for six ELLE issues! They also have ELLE Decoration, RED and many other well-known magazines.

8. A good friend bought me this for Christmas last year, and I have replaced it every time it has run out. It smells incredible and feels really indulgent.

9. Natural soap has become a huge thing this year, as we try to reduce our plastic usage. These Faith in Nature Soaps are wonderful smelling and good for you and the environment!

10. This Dishoom cookbook is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. I love the restaurant and try and go every time I’m in London. The recipes in the book taste exactly like the restaurant. It is also completely beautiful inside and full of interesting facts and pictures of the Deli; I’d highly recommend this as a gift.
