Christmas Stocking Gift Ideas

Here's some Christmas gift ideas (there's just so many amazing gifts out there this year!) These ones are ideal for stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts and are £15 or under.



Kure Bazaar Nail Polish in Glitter Pigalle (isn't it beautiful!) 10ml (£15). The polish is clear with flecks of red glitter making it perfect for Christmas parties! This Limited Edition polish is formulated with 85% natural ingredients making it the eco-friendly polish of choice.


I had the pleasure of trying beatitude's gorgeous Christmas Crackers last year which are £10 each and include a 10ml size of one of the three bath oils - Joy (my fav), Patience or Peace. See my review HERE.


I love all the Christmassy crackers and this Hand Care Cracker from Cowshed (£12) contains Cowshed Cow Herb Restoring Hand Cream 50ml and Cowshed Apricot Nourishing Cuticle Oil 11ml which will help restore and groom the hands and nails.


AA Skincare Vitamin Boost Face Kit (£12.60) contains 100ml Sandalwood & Palmarosa Cleansing Face Gel and 100ml Sandalwood & Palmarosa Moisturising Face Lotion. This is such a great value set! (and would make an excellent Christmas gift as well as a stocking filler!)


This is a great value Apricot & Elderflower Gift Set from Benecos (£10.95) which contains mini sizes of Apricot & Elderflower Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Hand Cream.



Content Beauty & Wellbeing have some lovely small gifts including this cutely packaged Therapi Honey Lip Nectar (£9.50 - 5ml). I'd love to find this in my Christmas stocking!


Yellow Gorse have some beautiful products which would make excellent stocking fillers. I reviewed a few of their items recently - see HERE (the ones I chose were in the £3.50 - £6.80 price range and are perfect).

Do any of these make it onto your Christmas wishlist?

Review: Yellow Gorse

I recently came across Yellow Gorse, a beautiful handcrafted range of luscious products handmade in small batches in Dorset formulated with ethical, vegan, natural and nourishing ingredients and of course I couldn't resist a small purchase! 



The packaging is exquisite and all recyclable or reusable and carefully put together. I picked 3 products:


Chai Tea Scrub (£3.50 - 45g) is almost good enough to eat! With a rich and aromatic scent the scrub is a joy to use. This invigorating scrub is perfect to use in the morning for a wake up call. With just the right amount of "scrubbiness" and a delectable scent of rosemary, orange, ginger grass and cinnamon.


To use: dampen scrub with warm water before massaging it onto the skin.


Frankincense/Bergamot Calm Balm (£4.80 - 20g) is presented in a vintage style tin and can be used to de-stress and calm on the go. The uplifting and relaxing balm contains frankincense which helps to slow down breathing, bergamot which eases stress with a drop of calming lavender. Nourishing botanical oils, butters and beeswax soften and feed the skin.

To use: apply as needed on temples and wrists throughout the day.


The third item I selected is Chamomile & Calendula Sleep Balm (£6.80 - 15ml) which is formulated with soothing roman chamomile, calming & healing azulene and calendula and safflower oils to aid sleep and nourish the skin while sleeping. It's got a beautiful gentle and calming scent. 

To use: apply to pulse points, hands, bottoms of the feet and face and neck.

The products are simply exquisite, have been carefully and lovingly formulated and I can't wait to try more from the RANGE.
