Thinking of what to buy people for Christmas can be tricky! Trying to stick to a budget and buy something meaningful or useful that the person will actually want can make it difficult to find the perfect gift. Hopefully this gift guide for under £25 will be helpful!

 

 

A Reusable Water Bottle (£20.00 and £12.00)

Now, this may not be the most exciting present, but for someone concerned with the environment this may be perfect. Not only are there loads to choose from in the shops or online, they are long lasting, so it’s a present that will most definitely get its use. Although there are many options to choose from, some cheaper than others, a Chilly’s bottle or a bottle from Typo are two of my favourites.

 

 

A Candle (£19.50)

Although a candle may seem like a bit of a boring and easy present, I think it’s something you can’t go too wrong with. This Oliver Bonas candle has a subtle scent which most people will like and comes in a pretty ceramic pot (which can be used as a trinket pot once the candle has burned out – multi-functional!).

 

 

A Makeup Bag (£24.00)

This is something we often don’t think of buying for ourselves but is something that needs updating every now and then. This personalised makeup bag from Not On The High Street is not only pretty but also a bit more personal than your average makeup bag!

 

 

A Necklace (£18.00)

If you know someone that is really into fashion, any jewellery could be good. However, a constellation necklace from Orelia is a bit more personal than a normal piece of jewellery and shows that some thought has been put in to choosing it.

 

 

A Planner (£14.95)

Again, this may seem a bit boring and practical, but for the stationary fanatic this would be a great gift. Not only is a daily planner useful for someone who likes to be organised, but Ohh Deer sell a brilliant day per page planner – which means there is plenty of space to write down any notes. You can also add your own date to the page, so you can pick up where you left off!
