Every year I struggle for new and exciting ideas for Christmas gifts. I often scroll through gift guides for inspiration, but find the same things on everyone’s lists and inevitably, I would probably have bought these items before! So, I am sharing my Christmas Gift Guide to hopefully help you with your Christmas shopping this year. Here are a few of my favourite things…
Hannah’s Christmas Gift Guide
Heyland & Whittle
Our 100% natural body and bath products are made the traditional way. Our handmade soaps are made with natural ingredients – such as olive oil, essential oils, herbs, spices and pure colourants, like madder root and turmeric.
We’ve taken great care to exclude ‘nasties’ such as parabens and sulphates. And so this means that every skin type and sensitivity is cared for. We also know that you are looking to shop more sustainably for the good of the planet as well as friends and families.
Heyland & Whittle
Why I Love It –
My sister gifted me the Heyland and Whittle Earl Grey Gift Set years ago and I have been a fan ever since. This scent in particular is my favourite, it’s just lovely, and their Greentea & Grapefruit scent is a close second. Heyland & Whittle are a family run UK business, that focus on using natural products and sustainable practices. Their range is diverse; candles, soaps, hand wash, bath melts, room diffusers and sprays… so much choice and so many scents. Heyland & Whittle often pop-up at events, such as The Spirit of Christmas Fair or the Wisley Christmas Craft Fair, which is a great way to ‘smell’ their range! Heyland & Whittle are a perfect Christmas gift choice for all, but buy direct from them, as they have the best deals; I often receive a free gift with purchase… a present for me and a present checked off my list!
Who’s It For –
A lovely and thoughtful gift for anyone. Heyland & Whittle have a large range of products, from gift sets, to stoking fillers, you’re sure to find that perfect present. Their Festive Range has just been released. Check it out here.

Bamboo Laptop Stand From Kikkerland
Why We Love It –
This bamboo laptop stand was originally for me, however, my boyfriend often works from home and has decided that it should be his! We have found it to be extremely useful, as it allows you to sit more upright when working at a desk and helps to prevent back pain associated from leaning over and slumping over a computer. The bamboo design is attractive as well as being sustainable, which is always a bonus. The stand is adjustable in both height and tilt, so it can fit to a preferred angle for anyone using it. It can also collapse for better storage or transport.
Who’s It For –
A unique gift for anyone that uses a laptop; men, women, teens, adults…
More Information –
Bamboo Laptop Stand can be bought from Kikkerland – RRP: Є65.00 with free shipping to the UK.

RUGD.
Why We Love It –
RUGD. Power Brick Portable Battery & Camping Night/SOS Light has become one of my must have items when I go sailing. It’s all in the name – a power brick that charges your phone or iPad as well as a camping night/SOS light, meaning I can pack fewer items. I have found my RUGD. essential, and so too has my boyfriend, as my RUGD. is yet another belonging of mine that my boyfriend has decided is his too! The power brick is water and shock proof, ideal for sailing! The night/sos light is handy and the carabiner clip (not for heavy weight) allows the RUGD. to easily clip on to backpacks, lines, etc. It quickly charges my phone, up to approx 3.5 times. This power brick is super versatile and useful, and lightweight, despite the name!

Sans Natural Deodorant
Our deodorants are formulated with only the most necessary and natural ingredients. They follow our less is more ethos, never compromising on quality or performance while giving back to your body and the environment.
Sans
Why I Love It –
I recently discovered this natural deodorant and I love it because it actually works, is a dry stick (not that wet sticky roll on stuff) and is much better for you. I used to use a deodorant that turned out to contain unhealthy additives that could cause health issues. I was searching for an alternative, and have tried several different brands, but Sans is by far the best. Sans deodorants are created with wellness in mind and are vegan and cruelty-free. They are made with natural, healthy and safe ingredients and the subtle scent is reminiscent of aromatherapy oils; I chose Pinacea. They come in zero-plastic cardboard packaging, so you can smell and feel good.
Who’s It For –
Sans comes in three unisex scents; 18th Orchard (Notes: Grapefruit, Orange & Rosemary), Pinacea (Notes: Rose, Mandarin, Cedarwood, Geranium) and Twig & Blossom (Note: Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, Neroli, Cardamom). Another unique gift idea that is better for you and better for the environment.
More Information –
Sans Natural Deodorant can be bought from sanslondon.com RRP: Starter kit £30.00. (Includes the capsule and one refill) Refill two pack £15.00. You can sign-up to a subscription or just do a one-off purchase when needed. The Sans website is currently offering a 15% discount when you sign up to their mailing list.

LYT Bottle from Waatr
They use ultraviolet light to keep your bottle clean and fresh. Powerful ultraviolet light is your family’s new favourite tech! Built right into the cap, our hard-working rays are on the same wavelength as the UV used to sanitise operating theatres and water treatment plants.
Zerowater
Why I Love It –
I have been using a reusable water bottle for years now, but what makes this one different is the uv light that kills various micro-organisms in your water. You know that musty smell that comes with forgetting to empty your water bottle, well, this bottle has solved that issue! The LYT bottle cap stops odours from breeding inside your bottle. Every hour, UV rays in the cap automatically activate, keeping your bottle fresh and clean. The LYT bottle is made of a stainless steel double-walled vacuum insulation which allows the contents to stay either cold for 12 hours or hot for 6 hours. The 100% BPA free LYT bottle comes with a magnetic charging cable, and the battery lasts for days. It’s lightweight, a nice blue colour (other colours available) feels nice and there’s an optional bottle holder available too.
Who’s It For –
A perfect gift for anyone who carries a water bottle, but perhaps is not as diligent at keeping the water clean – this one does all the work for you!
More Information –
LYT Bottle from Waatr can be bought from zerowater.co.uk RRP: £49.99 for the 500ml bottle and cap. £29.99 for the LYT cap only, compatible with many other bottles; see list here. It does not filter the water, but works in harmony with the ZeroWater filter.

Mons Royale – Icon Merino Air-Con Raglan
Icon is the perfect year round staple. It excels both on and off the mountain in all conditions. This simple design uses our ultra-lite Merino Air-Con fabric. Nature’s climate control – It keeps you cool when you’re hot, warm when its not. Pack less. Do more.
Mons Royale
Why I Love It –
I first discovered the brand Mons Royale when skiing in Whistler several years ago. My boyfriend was freezing and went straight from the mountain to the ski store to buy a base layer. There, like a golden ticket, he found his top on the sale rack… a deep maroon and navy Mons Royale base layer that fit him perfectly. He’s 6’5″ and often struggles to find tops that have a long arm length that fit. This top does and is now his staple for ski trips as well as days like today, as he refuses to put the heating on because of the high energy prices… He was lucky to find his on a sale rack (I think it was because it was coincidentally for tall people) because they can be pricey, but definitely worth it. He thoughtfully bought me one too and I have to admit, I love it. It does not have that scratchy feeling like so many other merino base layers have. This one feels soft and cosy. I think I’ll be wearing mine all winter long, given the cost of living right now! Merino is self cleaning right?
Who’s It For –
Mons Royale cater for men and women and have a range of clothes and accessories. My top is a few years old now, so the design is no longer available, but the ICON MERINO AIR-CON RAGLAN is essentially the same top that I love and wear regularly.
More Information –
The Mons Royale – Icon Merino Air-Con Raglan is available from eu.monsroyale.com RRP: Є85.00

Cheatwell Games Spot the Intro Music Board Game
Are you a genius at Pop and Rock Trivia? Can you recognize a song from the first few bars of the Intro – or are you a master of mime? There’s something for everyone here in this fun-packed contest to reach the top of the charts.
Cheatwell Games Spot the Intro Music Board Game
Why I Love It –
I was only just given this game and have already played it several times, as it’s so much fun and I can’t wait to play this with my family at Christmas. I used to love playing Heardle, a daily music intro game, similar in style to Wordle, until Spotify took it over. Now the songs on Heardle are too hard; too diverse and eclectic and I often don’t even recognise them. Spot The Intro has put the smile back on my face. With songs from the 60s to the present day, Spot The Intro is a fun game, perfect for the entire family with familiar songs that you will know, or will at least sound familiar to you! You do need a phone and wifi to play and it can take a few rounds to learn the game, but it’s worth the effort… so much fun.
Who’s It For –
Christmas is never complete without game time! Perfect as a secret santa gift, a stocking filler or for anyone that loves game time, Spot The Intro is a fun and addictive game for the whole family.
More Information –
Cheatwell Games Spot the Intro Music Board Game is available from Amazon. RRP: £21.50
