Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including &lt;em&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as &lt;em&gt;Red&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Psychologies&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt;. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on &lt;em&gt;ITV’s This Morning&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour&lt;/em&gt; - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on &lt;em&gt;Loose Women&lt;/em&gt;, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>The new M&S Valentine’s Day 2026 range is here, and this week I got a special preview – but I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to be tempted. After 28 years of marriage, <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/fashion/valentines-day-gifts-wishlist/">Valentine’s Day</a> isn’t really our thing; we tend to save gifts and celebrations for our wedding anniversary. But a browse of this year’s collection <em>completely</em> won me over.</p><p>I may not be waiting by my front door for a delivery of <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/homes/gardens/training-climbing-roses-horizontally-more-flowers/">roses</a> any time soon, but I am always up for beautifully made, feel-good treats to help brighten up my February – and this range has <em>plenty</em> of those.</p><p>From classy <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/fashion/best-pyjama-brands/">pyjamas</a> (zero cheesy slogans in sight) to little luxuries like <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/buying-guides-reviews/best-scented-candles-330538/">candles</a> and <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/best-champagne-and-prosecco-new-years-eve/">champagne</a> coupes, everything in this year's M&S Valentine's gift range feels thoughtful, stylish and oh-so-useful. From the chicest homewares that look far pricier than they actually are, to affordable indulgences that don't scream <em>'novelty gift' </em>but instead whisper<em>'go on, treat yourself'</em>, these are the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/valentines-day/valentines-day-gifts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">M&S Valentine’s Day</a> items I'd snap up now because they're inevitably going to sell out fast.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-i-d-buy-first-from-the-m-s-valentine-s-range"><span>What I’d buy first from the M&S Valentine’s range</span></h2>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="f0dacd1c-8220-4b7c-bf6b-b859d6ecee8b">            <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/pear-blush-eau-de-parfum-50ml/p/hbp60775694#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r1c1%7Cprodflag_20%25%20off%7Cprodflag_plp_ts_CBS_3" data-model-name="Pear Blush Eau De Parfum" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:130.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ihnB8WwhUMebz5hTiASAW7.jpg" alt="Pear Blush Eau De Parfum 50ml"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Discover</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Pear Blush Eau De Parfum</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Maybe it's to do with the various <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/health-wellbeing/the-many-surprising-ways-womens-bodies-change-as-we-get-older/">hormonal changes</a> I'm going through, but I’m less into spending a fortune on fragrance these days and far more interested in discovering new <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/beauty/long-lasting-perfume/">long-lasting perfumes</a> to enjoy – and this one had me at hello. From top notes of pear, bergamot and ambrette to a warm base of vanilla and musk, this is just the kind of feel-good fragrance I’m drawn to wearing.

                                <p>New Year’s Eve doesn’t need to be expensive – but it should still feel special. Whether you’re hosting friends, bringing a bottle with you, or keeping things simple at home, the right prosecco or champagne can make all the difference.</p><p>Good champagne doesn’t come cheap, but it also doesn’t have to cost a small fortune. While prices from well-known houses and growers often start around £30 and can climb far higher, knowing where to shop means you can buy a bottle you’re genuinely happy to open at midnight – without overspending.</p><p>We’ve searched the UK’s most trusted supermarkets and online wine merchants to find the best prosecco and champagne worth buying right now, including reliable favourites and good-value options for entertaining or gifting. We've added some cracking deals too, but beware: many of these offers are time-limited and tend to sell out quickly in the run-up to New Year’s Eve. </p><div class="product"><a data-dimension112="ed49208c-0f09-4a26-8bc8-685308b300ea" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="From Denbies, England’s largest vineyard in Surrey’s South Downs, Whitedowns is a fresh, bottle-fermented English sparkling with crisp citrus, floral lift, a touch of brioche, and a creamy, green-apple finish, so it's perfect as an aperitif or with light bites for a relaxed celebration." data-dimension48="From Denbies, England’s largest vineyard in Surrey’s South Downs, Whitedowns is a fresh, bottle-fermented English sparkling with crisp citrus, floral lift, a touch of brioche, and a creamy, green-apple finish, so it's perfect as an aperitif or with light bites for a relaxed celebration." data-dimension25="£15" href="https://www.waitrosecellar.com/products/denbies-whitedowns-sparkling-nv-634371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><figure class="van-image-figure "  ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1024px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:100.00%;"><img id="yUgmLfwg6MxqtsUuumFGiN" name="Whitedowns Brut NV" caption="" alt="" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yUgmLfwg6MxqtsUuumFGiN.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1024" height="1024" attribution="" endorsement="" credit="" class=""></p></div></div></figure></a><p>From Denbies, England’s largest vineyard in Surrey’s South Downs, Whitedowns is a fresh, bottle-fermented English sparkling with crisp citrus, floral lift, a touch of brioche, and a creamy, green-apple finish, so it's perfect as an aperitif or with light bites for a relaxed celebration.<a class="view-deal button" href="https://www.waitrosecellar.com/products/denbies-whitedowns-sparkling-nv-634371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-dimension112="ed49208c-0f09-4a26-8bc8-685308b300ea" data-action="Deal Block" data-label="From Denbies, England’s largest vineyard in Surrey’s South Downs, Whitedowns is a fresh, bottle-fermented English sparkling with crisp citrus, floral lift, a touch of brioche, and a creamy, green-apple finish, so it's perfect as an aperitif or with light bites for a relaxed celebration." data-dimension48="From Denbies, England’s largest vineyard in Surrey’s South Downs, Whitedowns is a fresh, bottle-fermented English sparkling with crisp citrus, floral lift, a touch of brioche, and a creamy, green-apple finish, so it's perfect as an aperitif or with light bites for a relaxed celebration." data-dimension25="£15">View Deal</a></p></div><h2 id="quick-shop-reliable-places-to-buy-prosecco-champagne">Quick shop: reliable places to buy prosecco & champagne</h2><p>In a rush?

This is what to look out for when shopping for prosecco:</p><ul><li><strong>Be wary of added sugar: </strong>"Proseccos that are fresh and less sweet (with a lower dosage) tend to be better – a high sugar content is often disguising a lower quality wine," Harry Ballman, co-founder of bottle shop and wine subscription service, <a href="https://www.cepage.uk/" target="_blank">Cépage</a>, and sommelier at London’s prestigious Wiltons in St James, tells us.</li><li><strong>Look for the DOC or DOCG stamp: </strong>"These relate to the quality of a bottle of Prosecco as approved in Italy," Rob Weatherhead, co-owner of <a href="https://www.affordablewine.co.uk/" target="_blank">Affordable Wines</a>, tells us. "DOC loosely translates to the designation of controlled origin. And means it is of a quality currently applied to circa 300 wines from Italy. DOCG is the next level up again, and currently, there are around 80 wines that have passed the quality certification to warrant this stamp."</li><li><strong>The Glera grape: </strong>"Prosecco is made from the Glera grape, but not always 100%. Check the grape makeup of your chosen wine, if possible," Weatherhead adds.</li></ul><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-makes-a-good-champagne"><span>What makes a good champagne?</span></h3><p>We've all heard of the big champagne brands, but are they really the best? The experts explain what makes good champagne and share their pointers for selecting the best-quality fizz.</p><ul><li><strong>Check the vintage: </strong>"Whilst a lot of what goes on a bottle itself is purely visual and for shelf stand out, if a bottle of champagne makes a big deal about its vintage it is usually because it is worth shouting about," Weatherhead explains.</li><li><strong>Check the sugar dosage: </strong>"Brut champagnes that have a higher dosage (6-12 g/l) tend to be rich and have a creamy texture, whereas Extra Brut (3-6 g/l) or Brut Nature (3g/l or less) are fresh and zingy," Ballman explains.</li><li><strong>Look for award winners: </strong>"There are lots of awards in the wine industry which doesn't help define the good from the bad.  But if you find champagne that has been winning Gold medals at awards, it is a good measure of its quality," Weatherhead tells us.</li><li><strong>Look at the label and neck foil: </strong>The team at<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.louis-roederer.com/en/homepage" target="_blank">Louis Roederer Champagne</a> recommends checking that the label and neck foil of your chosen bottle is in perfect condition before purchasing, as it will indicate that the bottle has been stored correctly, which in turn will mean a much better-tasting bottle of bubbly.</li></ul><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-how-to-store-prosecco-and-champagne"><span>How to store prosecco and champagne</span></h3><p>If you've taken advantage of the prosecco and champagne deals in this guide and stocked up now for future use, it's important to store your newly purchased bargain bottles correctly. Otherwise, when you come round to drinking the fizz, it won't be at its best, and the money you saved on finding a good deal will have been wasted. </p><p>Louis Roederer Champagne, partners of the <a href="https://www.spiritofchristmasfair.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Spirit of Christmas Fair</a>, explained to <em>woman&home</em> that the key to keeping your champagne in its best condition is both <em>where </em>as well as <em>how </em>you store it: "When storing at home, you want to remember to keep your bottle away from bright light and try to store in a cool place where the temperature won’t fluctuate. </p><p>"Where possible, if storing your wine for a short period or time - one month or less - then standing your bottle upright is preferred but is not a must."</p>

Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including &lt;em&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as &lt;em&gt;Red&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Psychologies&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt;. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on &lt;em&gt;ITV’s This Morning&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour&lt;/em&gt; - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on &lt;em&gt;Loose Women&lt;/em&gt;, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

He’d have organised childcare, lined up someone to look after the dog, booked dinner at my favourite spot, and even picked out a little something for me to wear so I don’t have to worry about a thing. Ha! It's no wonder Nobody's Child is a celebrity favourite for dresses – I’ve got a several-seasons-old black midi with balloon sleeves that never fails when I need to look effortlessly put together. I reckon this red cord number would do the job just fine, if, you know, my husband happens to be reading this. <em>And</em> it's on sale!</p><p><strong>Last day for Christmas delivery: </strong>19th December 7:30pm</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-beauty-gifts-i-d-actually-use"><span>Beauty gifts I’d actually use</span></h2>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="191e7acb-7c54-4d76-9479-cc9ffbbafb28">            <a href="https://victoriabeckhambeauty.com/en-gb/products/satin-kajal-liner-vb-s-greatest-hits" data-model-name="Satin Kajal Liner Gift Set: Vb’s Greatest Hits" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/p4DwgeT28qkMq2d6q74EUe.jpg" alt="Satin Kajal Liner Gift Set- VB’s Greatest Hits"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Victoria Beckham Beauty</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Satin Kajal Liner Gift Set: Vb’s Greatest Hits</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>I’ve heard endlessly wonderful things about Victoria Beckham Beauty, and as someone who’s usually low-maintenance with make-up, I’m genuinely curious to see what all the fuss is about.

I’d be over the moon to receive this for Christmas – the <em>Satin Kajal Liner: VB’s Greatest Hits</em> set includes 8 shades chosen by Victoria, all in a sleek, lightweight cylinder that’s perfect for travel. It’s not cheap, but this product has more than 10,000 five-star reviews – definitely a pressie I'd thank you for.

As my soon-to-be-published review will confirm, I can’t get enough of this stuff and dread it ever running out, which is why I'd be delighted to find a bottle in my Christmas stocking.

True Collagen provides highly absorbable, clinically researched Type I hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides that you can blend into both hot and cold drinks. Collagen is a vital structural protein that supports skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, and gut health, and can help the body’s natural repair, replenishment, and renewal processes. Sustainably sourced from grass-fed herds, this would feel like a really thoughtful gift.</p><p><strong>Last day for Christmas delivery: </strong>1pm 19th December</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="d94f2252-41ed-456f-955b-1f56dde97dac">            <a href="https://www.sweatybetty.com/shop/bottoms/leggings/power-gym-leggings-SB5400_Black_FullLength.html" data-model-name="Black Power Gym Leggings" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Zkz3jKkgYDsm8di84bnRpH.jpg" alt="Sweaty Power Gym Leggings, a sweat-wicking, supportive fitness gift for her"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Sweaty Betty</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Black Power Gym Leggings</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>Our <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/author/grace-walsh/">health editor</a> swears by the Sweaty Betty Power Gym Leggings, and friends keep telling me they’re well worth the money – so I’d be genuinely delighted to find a pair under the tree.

Fully adjustable with removable memory foam clusters, you can tailor the height and firmness to suit your sleeping position, whether on your front, back, or side. It’s supportive enough to help keep your spine aligned and noticeably eases those everyday neck and shoulder aches.

Inspired by the Remi scalloped shelves, it features a golden base with a luxurious scalloped rim folding over a coated blue metal frame for a subtle pop of colour. With a polished shine, four gold-tone castor wheels, and a rounded profile, it’s perfect for bottles, decanters, and bar accessories – or, when not in use, as a decorative side table or portable storage unit. </p><p><strong>Last day for Christmas delivery: </strong>Sunday 21st December</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="abf73f68-c983-487a-a012-b601fec0c704">            <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/en-gb/shop/tipped-puffer-faux-fur-throw-blanket?color=067" data-model-name="Tipped Puffer Faux-Fur Throw Blanket" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/87hdYvZbFPTKV2ofZyJKZG.jpg" alt="Anthropologie Tipped Puffer Faux-Fur Throw Blanket"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Anthropologie</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Tipped Puffer Faux-Fur Throw Blanket</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>A colleague has been raving about how gorgeous these blankets are for ages and I've been resisting, but I think it’s the perfect time to drop a hint to Santa.

Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including &lt;em&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as &lt;em&gt;Red&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Psychologies&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt;. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on &lt;em&gt;ITV’s This Morning&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour&lt;/em&gt; - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on &lt;em&gt;Loose Women&lt;/em&gt;, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p>Every year, it feels harder to find a gift that truly means something. I’m always reluctant to buy yet more stuff that nobody really wants or needs – which is where Wonderbly’s personalised books come in. Beautifully crafted and suitable for young and old alike, they’ve become my go-to recommendation whenever anyone asks me what to buy someone special for Christmas.</p><p>I’ve been a shopping editor for more than two decades, testing almost every type of product imaginable – from <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/homes/best-christmas-candles/">candles</a> and <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/homes/best-coffee-machines/">coffee machines</a> to <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/homes/best-pizza-ovens/">pizza ovens</a> and <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/beauty/long-lasting-perfume/">perfumes</a> – so I’m not short of inspiration when it comes to the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/best-gifts-for-couples-personal-practical-present-ideas-372645/">best Christmas gifts</a>. But these books remain one of my most regular recommendations, and one of the few presents I buy for my own family too.</p><p>If you’re looking for a meaningful Christmas gift, you can’t do better than a <a href="https://www.wonderbly.com/uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wonderbly personalised book</a>, and from now until 2 December, there's 25% off everything sitewide for <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/when-is-black-friday-and-when-does-it-end/">Black Friday</a>. Now is the time to get your order in and avoid that last-minute Christmas present-buying panic.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-why-wonderbly-books-make-brilliant-gifts"><span>Why Wonderbly books make brilliant gifts</span></h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="iwFMD9DDwMTHgpgmkkfffm" name="How to make a Heidi-tini" alt="An image of the Wonderbly personalised book How to make a Heidi-tini" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/iwFMD9DDwMTHgpgmkkfffm.png" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Founded in 2012, Wonderbly first became known for <a href="https://www.wonderbly.com/uk/personalized-products/lost-my-name-v2-book"><em>The Little Boy or Girl Who Lost Their Name</em></a>. Since then, the publisher has released more than 70 stories in 12 languages across 40 countries, winning Children’s Publisher of the Year 2021.</p><p>I first discovered the brand when I wrote a Wonderbly review years ago, and I've been a fan ever since. One of the things that makes Wonderbly so special is how easy it is to create a personalised book in just a few clicks. Simply add names and details like hair and eye colour, and watch the story take shape on screen in seconds. The result is always stunning – premium materials, exquisite illustrations, and thoughtful storylines make these books some of the most memorable gifts you can give.</p><p>Each book is made to order, crafted sustainably, and shipped worldwide. Wonderbly also offers charming titles for adults, too – from foodies and sports fans to cocktail lovers and pet parents – so there’s something for everyone.</p><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-my-top-wonderbly-books-for-adults"><span>My top Wonderbly books for adults</span></h2><p>These are the Wonderbly titles I’ve bought or recommended to my friends and family.

Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including &lt;em&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as &lt;em&gt;Red&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Psychologies&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt;. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on &lt;em&gt;ITV’s This Morning&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour&lt;/em&gt; - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on &lt;em&gt;Loose Women&lt;/em&gt;, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

When an email with that subject line landed in my inbox, it took me all of three seconds to respond. <em>Yes, please – send over a festive box filled with tiny jars of conserves and spreads, and let's call it wor</em>k.</p><p>This year’s calendar is every bit as charming as its contents are delicious. Once you slide off the sleeve, it opens out into three panels, each illustrated with playful festive characters and curious woodland animals.</p><p>Behind each door awaits a little treat: a mini jar of limited-edition conserves, chocolate or caramel spreads, and, on Christmas Eve, a small decorative surprise to round off the countdown.

Expect a daily treat in the form of a mini limited-edition conserve or sweet spread, and a final surprise on Christmas Eve. Truly delicious flavours and the beautifully illustrated packaging make this a standout choice for anyone who loves a little something special on their toast in the morning to help sweeten the day ahead.</p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div><p>Am I alone in never having bought myself an advent calendar before? </p><p>I’ve always bought them for my kids, but the idea of a little daily treat throughout December – <em>just for me</em> – has always quietly appealed. And now that two of my offspring are officially adults, it feels like the right moment to finally choose one for myself. The Bonne Maman Advent Calendar seemed like the perfect place to start.</p><p>I love browsing roundups of the best <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/advent-calendars-for-women-2025/">advent calendars for women</a>, imagining which one I might pick. I’ve been tempted by<a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/beauty/best-beauty-advent-calendar/"> beauty advents</a> and<a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/fashion/best-jewellery-advent-calendars-2025/"> jewellery calendars</a> in the past, but they've always seemed a bit too indulgent for my aesthetic. I always forget to wear earrings and rarely persist with much of a skincare regime. Sweet, delicious spreads and preserves on toast, though? Now <em>that</em> is a daily routine I can get excited about.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:650px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.31%;"><img id="fYZdKDCkvDfZgUmPLVd3Ta" name="BONNE MAMAN JAM ADVENT CAL" alt="An image of the Bonne Maman Jam Advent Calendar on our tester's kitchen table" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fYZdKDCkvDfZgUmPLVd3Ta.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="650" height="366" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Future)</span></figcaption></figure><p>This year, the Bonne Maman Advent Calendar has a whimsical new design, featuring curious winter characters and woodland creatures.

Specially created for the season,  you'll find 23 exclusive mini jars featuring flavours you won’t usually find in the UK. There are thoughtful pairings like Blueberry & Lychee with Rose, Cherry with Pink Berries, Fig with Cardamom, and Damson Plum & Pear with Star Anise. You’ll also uncover indulgent chocolate and caramel spreads, plus a pretty decorative keepsake tucked behind the final door on Christmas Eve.</p><p>Ordering directly from the Bonne Maman website adds a few extra touches, too. You can include a personalised message, and each order comes with a beautiful limited-edition etched jar of Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, along with three money-off vouchers for the Bonne Maman range – perfect for replenishing your favourites once December’s treats run out.</p><iframe title="Do you buy yourself an advent calendar?" description="Are advent calendars for kids?

                                <p>Hear that? That’s December jingling into view – and with it, the question I get asked the most at this time of year: <em>what’s the best advent calendar for women?</em> It's no surprise; after almost twenty years as a consumer journalist, my home resembles a testing lab, and that really ramps up once the festive season gets going. Friends and family know the score: pop round in November and you’re likely to leave with an armful of products I've talked you into testing.</p><p>Advent calendar offerings seem to get bigger and better every year. Whether you’re a foodie, a fitness fanatic, or a self-care devotee, there’s one with your name on it.

But according to Dr Amanda Gummer, it’s worth pausing before adding the hottest Christmas toy to your basket.</p><p> “Look beyond the hype,” she says. “Ask yourself: Will this still be played with in a week – or forgotten by Boxing Day?”</p><p> Her expert advice:</p><ul><li><strong>Choose toys that last </strong>– Focus on value for money, quality, and longevity, not just novelty.</li><li><strong>Avoid five-minute wonders</strong> – A toy that dazzles on Christmas morning but gets abandoned within hours isn’t worth the space or expense.</li><li><strong>Think about how it will be played with</strong> – Look for toys that work both independently and with siblings or friends. This builds social skills, encourages sharing, and extends the toy’s lifespan.</li><li><strong>Match the toy to the child</strong> – Consider age, personality, skill level, interests, and the kind of play that engages them most.</li></ul><h2 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-are-the-best-christmas-toys-to-buy"><span>What are the best Christmas toys to buy?</span></h2><p>To balance expert advice with lived experience, we spoke to <a href="https://phillyandfriends.com/pages/meet-our-founder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Vese Aghoghovbia</a>, founder of inclusive children’s brand <a href="https://phillyandfriends.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Philly and Friends</a>.</p><p>“Choosing the right toy can be overwhelming, especially during the holiday season,” she says. While she always considers her child’s preferences, she also thinks about her goals as a parent: whether that’s encouraging creativity, supporting learning, or just bringing pure joy.</p><p>“Sometimes I prioritise STEM learning. Other times, I just want to see the excitement on my child’s face – even if the toy isn’t educational. And honestly, kids can be delighted by the simplest things. My son loves Pop-Its and Hot Wheels.”</p><p>Here’s Vese’s expert breakdown of the top toy categories for Christmas 2025:</p><ul><li><strong>Dolls & Figurines</strong> – Great for imaginative play, storytelling, empathy and introducing diversity into the toy box.</li><li><strong>Learning & Educational Toys (STEM)</strong> – Perfect for toddlers through tweens. Think coding kits, science sets, puzzles and maths games.</li><li><strong>Craft & Creativity Kits</strong> – Baking sets, art kits, gardening projects and make-your-own sets keep kids absorbed while building fine-motor and creative skills.</li><li><strong>Magnetic Toys</strong> – Magna-Tiles, SmartMax and other magnetic kits encourage open-ended play, problem-solving and spatial awareness.</li><li><strong>Pretend Play Toys</strong> – Dress-up clothes, play kitchens, tool sets and shop counters deliver hours of imaginative fun.</li><li><strong>Digital & Screen-Free Tech</strong> – Audio story boxes, kids’ cameras, and interactive (but low-stimulus) tech encourage independent play without screens.</li></ul><p>This thoughtful, category-led approach makes shopping easier – and ensures the toy you choose is meaningful for both the giver and the child.</p><h2 id="what-is-the-latest-toy-craze-for-christmas-2025">What is the latest toy craze for Christmas 2025?</h2><p>This year’s top Christmas toy trends are shaping up to be bigger than ever:</p><ul><li>Character favourites continue to dominate, especially Bluey, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Star Wars and Jurassic World.</li><li>Interactive hatching creatures remain firm favourites thanks to their mix of mystery and nurture-play.</li><li>Surprise-led collectables – blind boxes, slime packs and mix-and-make toys – are flying off shelves this Christmas.</li><li>Retro play is back, with LEGO, classic board games, and wooden toys proving timeless hits.</li><li>Hands-on creativity kits – build-your-own… anything! – are trending across all ages.</li></ul>

                                <p><strong>I know what you're thinking: Amazon isn't the first place you normally think of when it comes to choosing a Mother's Day gift. But trust me on this. Right about now, all over the UK, precious offspring are slowly realising that Sunday is Mother's Day and frantically wondering if they've left it too late to buy a gift that their mum will actually appreciate.</strong></p><p>So I come with good news. I'm a mum of three kids, aged between 20 and 11 years old, and I've been a shopping editor for more than a decade, so I'm something of a pro when it comes to dropping hints about what I'd like for Mother's Day. And with the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/events/springdealdays" target="_blank" rel="sponsored">Amazon Spring Sale</a> in full swing, there's just enough time for you to order something for the mum, mother-in-law or mother figure in your life that should arrive in time - just make sure you're an <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/amazonprime" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amazon Prime</a> member or sign up a for a 30-day free trial which you can cancel once your gift is delivered. </p><p>And to help you make a good pressie choice, rather than a panic-fuelled one, I asked a bunch of other mums what their idea of the perfect Mother's Day present is. Admittedly, they're not all available from Amazon (it can't help us with a day of peace and quiet, it seems...), so I've found some decent dupes that should still arrive in time, should something appeal to you from this list.</p>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_standard" data-id="4b02d239-b7ff-466b-ad23-b50cd85769ad">            <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/ola-blue-glass-stacking-storage-pot-371667" data-model-name="Ola Blue Glass Stacking Storage Pot" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:125.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fEaZNTdJoAAQKjwT78yATN.jpg" alt="Ola Blue Glass Stacking Storage Pot | Oliver Bonas"><span class='featured__label standard__label'>A Stacking Pot</span></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                        <div class='featured__brand'>Oliver Bonas</div>                                        <div class="featured__title">Ola Blue Glass Stacking Storage Pot</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>The first mum I asked about her favourite Mother's Day gift surprised me with her answer. It's such a simple yet practical (and inexpensive) gift that has a beautifully thoughtful vibe to it, but it's not something I'd ever think to ask for. "A beautiful stacking pot, which I keep my hair things in so my bathroom looks glamorous," she said. As someone whose bathroom never looks glamorous (the three males I live with, I'm looking at you...), this struck me as a fabulous way to reclaim a little corner of my chaotic domestic space. But my favourite thing about this gift idea? Every time I reach for a hair bobble, which is on a daily basis, I know it would make me think of my kids and smile.

                                <p>As a woman in my late (very late...) forties, I don’t often think about the best Valentine’s Day gifts for men. The thing is, I've been with my Valentine for a lifetime so I know what he likes - and doesn't - at this stage in life. </p><p>While our wedding anniversary and thoughtful <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/40th-birthday-gift-ideas/">birthday gifts</a> mean more than a commercialised holiday like Valentine’s Day, we do exchange cards. I’ve never forgotten the first Valentine’s card he gave me – a cheeky Purple Ronnie one if you’re wondering, which tells you it was the '90s. And - three kids and 26 years of marriage later - I still appreciate it when he pops a bunch of my favourite flowers in his basket while grabbing bits for dinner. Those little gestures mean more than an overpriced bouquet on February 14th ever could. But this year, like 54% of Brits who also mark the occasion, according to a Valentine's Day survey by <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/valentines-day/valentines-day-gifts" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">M&S</a>, I've decided to treat him to a little gift. We no longer need babysitters and might even get the telly to ourselves, so perhaps I'll even pop open some bubbly to celebrate the fact that we’re still going strong, all those years after <a href="https://purpleronnie.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Purple Ronnie</a> sealed the deal. </p><p>If you’re planning something similar, here’s my roundup of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for men – especially midlife ones. Note that I've chosen items you'll enjoy too because the best Valentine’s Day gifts for him are all about sharing a token of love that benefits you <em>both</em>. After all, it’s a day to celebrate your love, not just your lover.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-best-valentine-s-gifts-quicklinks"><span>Best Valentine's gifts quicklinks</span></h3><p>In a hurry?

"Show them you’ve noticed all the things they do for you and treat them to something that means they can indulge or take a moment to themselves," adds Jo. "Look for a gift that ties to their interests, whether that’s a hobby or a newfound passion. That way, you can’t go wrong.”</p><p>"When choosing a gift for a male partner, consider his interests, lifestyle, and personality," advises gifting expert and entrepreneur <a href="www.instagram.com/katrina_aleksa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Katrina Aleksa</a>. "Think about what he enjoys - whether it’s tech gadgets, fashion, fitness, or experiences like travel or dining. Personalisation adds a special touch, so consider customised items or something with sentimental value. If you’re unsure, pay attention to things he talks about wanting or needing. Lastly, experiences often make great gifts, offering memories rather than just material items.</p><p>"For a refined and personal touch, customised cufflinks make a timeless statement, whether engraved with initials or a meaningful date. For those who value experiences over objects, a luxurious weekend retreat - be it a spa escape, an adventure trip, or a curated wine-tasting getaway - offers unforgettable memories and relaxation. For the tech-savvy, smart home devices bring sophistication and convenience. From voice-controlled assistants to intelligent lighting and security systems, these innovations enhance daily life with seamless efficiency. Whether it’s a bespoke accessory, a curated experience, or cutting-edge home technology, the perfect gift is one that elevates his lifestyle."</p>

For seven years previously she was editor of Future’s world-leading design title Creative Bloq, and has written for titles including T3, Coach and Fit&amp;Well on a wide range of lifestyle topics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a decade of working in retail, Kerrie went back to education at the age of 27, graduating with a first-class honours degree in creative writing three years later. Her career in journalism began soon after, when she secured a job as a staff writer at Future Plc. In the 15 years since, she has worked her way up to editor level, gaining a wealth of digital experience along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a woman&amp;home reader and a senior digital editor, Kerrie’s main purpose is to ensure the brand delivers high-quality, relevant content to help enrich and improve women’s lives – a responsibility she feels hugely passionate about. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outside of work, if she manages to find a spare minute around her three young children and geriatric dog, you’ll find her trying out beauty products, strength training, with her head in a good thriller novel or building one of the latest Lego ideas sets.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

So this is not only a really practical gift for a friend to help keep them looking and feeling their best, it comes in a lovely little luxurious-looking pouch to keep it safe on their travels. </p></p>                </div>                            </div>        </div>        <div class="featured_product_block featured_block_hero" data-id="9ae26318-b3ef-42aa-a28a-7f9b50593c43">            <a href="https://www.sephora.co.uk/p/LOccitane-Shea-Butter-Hand-Cream-150ml" data-model-name="L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream" data-model-brand="" ><div class='product-image-widthsetter'><p class='vanilla-image-block' data-bordeaux-image-check style='padding-top:100.00%';><img style="width: 100%" class="featured_image" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/T6Kftcd43wTtCZoRvBM89i.jpg" alt="L'Occitane hand cream"></p></div></a>            <div class="featured_product_details_wrapper">                <div class="featured_product_title_wrapper">                                                                                <div class="featured__title">L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream</div>                                    </div>                <div class="subtitle__description">                                                            <p><p>A must-have for all friends, for all seasons, L'Occitane hand cream is something <em>woman&home</em> digital beauty writer Naomi Jamieson always enjoys delighting her friends with.

She has since written for Ideal Home, Livingetc, TechRadar, Tom&#039;s Guide, Real Homes, and countless other leading titles. She honed her expertise in reviewing products by heading up the Small Appliances vertical, where she tested nearly 50 air fryers, as well as dozens of coffee machines and many cupboards full of cookware.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Millie has always had an interest in fashion and beauty and has (almost) ditched the straighteners since learning how to look after her curly hair. In her free time, she loves to knit and bake, and has a 200-strong bucket list of London restaurants she&#039;s desperate to try out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

As our head of all things shopping, Millie is committed to giving readers honest, expert advice when it comes to spending their hard-earned cash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After getting her degree from Durham University, Millie joined Future Plc as a Staff Writer. She has since written for Ideal Home, Livingetc, TechRadar, Tom&#039;s Guide, Real Homes, and countless other leading titles. She honed her expertise in reviewing products by heading up the Small Appliances vertical, where she tested nearly 50 air fryers, as well as dozens of coffee machines and many cupboards full of cookware.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Millie has always had an interest in fashion and beauty and has (almost) ditched the straighteners since learning how to look after her curly hair. In her free time, she loves to knit and bake, and has a 200-strong bucket list of London restaurants she&#039;s desperate to try out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

their star sign</span></h3><p>Decode the central traits of each star sign to help you find the perfect gift, whether you&apos;re <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/best-18th-birthday-gifts-ideas-372731/">shopping for an 18th birthday</a> or a <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/60th-birthday-gifts-for-her-and-him/">60th birthday</a>...</p><ul><li><strong>Aries (March 21 – April 19)</strong> - Fiery, fun-loving, and generous, an Aries loves to stand out from the crowd and command attention wherever they go. With this in mind, an Aries needs a statement present in keeping with their bold personality. Gifts they can wear, such as scarves, hats or bags which are bright and eye-catching are sure to satisfy the Aries’ lust for luxury.</li><li><strong>Taurus (April 20 – May 20)</strong> - Grounded, intelligent yet stubborn, a Taurus enjoys their own time and views their home as their sanctuary. As a naturally house-proud sign, the Taurus would appreciate anything which fits well in their homes, such as personalized photos hung up as part of a gallery wall, alongside art prints.</li><li><strong>Gemini (May 21 – June 20)</strong> - Geminis are outgoing and intelligent and are frequently described as the most versatile and adaptable of the zodiac. The Gemini loves to learn new things, so what better gift than a recipe book, where they can spend countless hours trying new dishes out? As Geminis love being the host, a recipe book is perfect for all the dinner parties they love to plan and host.</li><li><strong>Cancer (June 21 – July 22)</strong> - Sentimental and loyal, nothing makes a Cancer happier than being surrounded by their closest friends and family. Nothing would make an emotional Cancer happier than a present that is personalized for them. A personalized mug with photos from a happy time with family, or a framed photo of a happy memory you have together.</li><li><strong>Leo (July 23 – August 22)</strong> - A Leo loves opulence, in fact the bigger the better for the extroverted and loyal Leo. Attracted to bold patterns and statement pieces, jewelry would make the perfect present for the Leo as they like to wear and show off their gifts.</li><li><strong>Virgo (August 23 – September 22)</strong> - Virgos are known for being practical, sensible, and incredibly loyal. Although they can come across as tough, they have a kind center and love quiet nights in with friends. Practical presents will be appreciated by Virgos, such as stationary and trendy backpacks.</li><li><strong>Libra (September 23 – October 22)</strong> - Often described as the “social butterfly” of the zodiac, a Libra is often found wherever the party is. Extroverted and friendly, Libras are charming and love to host parties. Party equipment for the extroverted Libra would be appreciated, such as portable speakers or a cocktail-making kit.</li><li><strong>Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)</strong> - One of the more popular and social zodiac signs, a Scorpio enjoys being the center of attention and thrive on keeping in touch with the latest trends. An exhibitionist in the best way, a Scorpio will love a diary or planner to keep track of their social life, or what about a hilarious pair of personalized pair of socks they can show off at any social event?</li><li><strong>Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) </strong>- A Sagittarius is always seeking their next adventure. Lovers of nature and always on the lookout for a new place to travel to, the Sagittarius is one of the most active members of the zodiac. A Sagittarius is less of a material person and would prefer an experience over a gift. Vouchers for an experience day would go down a treat for the adventurous and curious Sagittarius.</li><li><strong>Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)</strong> - Hard-working and focused, Capricorns are self-confessed workaholics who can appreciate the finer things in life. As Capricorns are normally extremely busy and are usually found working extra time, a luxe gift with a focus on wellbeing would be the perfect theme for a gift. An indulgent scented candle, a good quality bottle of wine or whiskey or a meal out at their favorite restaurant would go down a treat.</li><li><strong>Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)</strong> - Creative and kind, the Aquarius enjoys a calm environment where they can catch up with their closest friends. As they are eccentric and have their own style, buying for an Aquarius can be difficult, however, gifts that involve creativity and customizing are right up their street. Mindful adult coloring books and crafting kits will see an Aquarius optimizing their creativity.</li><li><strong>Pisces (February 19 – March 20)</strong> - A Pisces is known for grace and emotional intelligence. Sensitive souls, Pisces thrive when spending time with their loved ones. The Pisces will cherish gifts that remind them of good times, whether that’s a photo album or framed picture of happy memories you shared together. Or why not organise a fun activity to do together to create more memories?</li></ul>

giving advice</span></h3><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>What do you give as engagement gifts and how do they differ from a wedding present?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>Quite simply, an engagement gift is given to celebrate their engagement rather than the rest of their life together.</p><p>"Engagement gifts are typically given by close friends, family members, or loved ones," owner and founder of <a href="https://luxeandbloom.com/" target="_blank">Luxe & Bloom</a> Tawni McAleer tells w&h. "On the other hand, a wedding gift is given to commemorate the couple's wedding day and is traditionally given by guests attending the wedding ceremony." McAleer further explains how wedding gifts are usually household items or experiences for the couple to enjoy.</p><p>Commerce editor for <a href="https://www.theknot.com/?vers=0" target="_blank">The Knot</a> Cathryn Haight tells us that engagement gifts can be smaller, less expensive, and something fun you pick out yourself since there's no registry to shop from. "Some of our favorite options include a wedding magazine subscription, fancy chocolates, a duo of toasting glasses, a bouquet of blooms, and of course, a bottle of bubbly," Haight says. "Remember to choose an engagement gift that both members of the couple can enjoy."</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>Is an engagement gift necessary?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>An engagement gift isn't required, but it is a thoughtful way to show your support and congratulate the couple, especially if you're close. It ultimately depends on your relationship with the couple. </p><p>"Whether or not you want to decide to give someone an engagement gift will depend on a variety of factors, including your relationship with the person and the closeness of that relationship," Bishop says. "If it's your best friend and you're really excited for her, of course, you might want to give her something in celebration. If it's a casual acquaintance or coworker, you might not."</p><p>But whether you decide to give a gift or not, Haight suggests sending a heartfelt handwritten engagement card expressing your excitement for the couple's next chapter.</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>What is an appropriate amount to spend on an engagement gift?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>The amount you spend on an engagement gift is strictly up to you and ultimately depends on your budget and relationship with the recipient. "Giving anything from a bottle of wine to a donation to their honeymoon fund is a nice gesture. If you're in a position to give more and have a close relationship with the couple, you don't have to hold back," Bishop says.</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>Can you give cash or gift cards as an engagement gift?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>McAleer deems cash and gift cards to be an appropriate and great engagement gift option, as it gives the couple the flexibility to use the funds as they wish. But, if you want to make the gift even more special and memorable, McAleer recommends pairing the cash or gift card with a gift box.</p><p>"A gift box can add an extra touch of sentiment and surprise, offering a tangible and delightful experience for the couple," McAleer says. "It allows you to tailor the contents to their preferences, whether it's a selection of their favorite treats or items for their new life together."</p></article></section>

in-laws?</span></h3><p>When we asked father-in-laws what they would like to receive as a gift, they all mentioned gift experiences. A personal gift that will be truly unique, choosing an experience that the family can get involved in, or that your father-in-law can enjoy with his children, will always be appreciated.</p><p>Polly Noel-Storr, Head of Gifts at <a href="https://www.moonpig.com/uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Moonpig</a>, told us that "Buying an experience-related gift such as a day racing a car or a trip out to the West End is a great chance to broaden your recipient&apos;s horizons and provide them with an opportunity to make new memories they&apos;ll cherish forever". "As a starting point", Noel-Storr continues, "being conscious of their interests is key, or even considering an activity they have previously expressed an interest in doing but not yet organised themselves".</p><p>She adds, "the golden rule I always stick to when buying any kind of gift is to ensure the gift you give is always one you&apos;d like to receive - so perhaps give it a second thought if you’re considering buying an adrenaline-junkie-focused experience that you wouldn’t be happy to participate in yourself!"</p>

Don’t shy away from fashion and accessories</span></h3><p>Some dads are, by their own admission, not incredibly stylish. Maybe shopping for clothing and accessories is a daunting prospect to them, or their job/hobbies require a sartorial practicality which causes them to run from anything too high fashion. But this doesn’t mean that when buying a gift for your dad, you should similarly avoid these items. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/khabism/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Khabi Mirza</a>, fashion writer and men’s trend expert, notes that you should “think about those must-have style-savers which the dad in your life may not have the confidence or foresight to shop for himself. Mirza claims that “Accessories are a perfect place to start”, suggesting a new pair of sunglasses from a “trusted brand like <a href="https://www.hackett.com/gb/home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hackett</a> or <a href="https://eu.moscot.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Moscot</a>”. </p><p>If your dad commutes to work and/or the gym, a new commuter backpack is also a great gift idea, as they’ll likely use it every day. Just make sure you opt for a high-quality brand - Mirza recommends <a href="https://www.eastpak.com/uk-en/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Eastpak</a>, <a href="https://www.cambridgesatchel.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Cambridge Satchel Company</a> and the Japanese brand Porter Yoshida. “While it’s a cliche, the default option has to be socks”, Mirza admits, adding that Argyle socks, available from retailers such as <a href="https://www.burlington.de/uk_en/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Burlingtons</a>, are always a safe bet.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-2-personal-gifts-will-always-be-appreciated"><span>2. Personal gifts will always be appreciated</span></h3><p>The menswear specialists we spoke to at retail giant <a href="https://www.matalan.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Matalan</a> claim that "the key things to bear in mind when choosing a gift for a father are practicality and sentimentality." One way to combine the two is something like "a personalized mug", which "can be used every day, but the personal touch makes the gift that little bit special." Gifting them something you know they will really love also adds to the personalized aspect of a present - Matalan’s experts suggest "books from their favorite author or genre", or "a selection of their favorite foods and drinks." </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-3-choose-a-practical-gift-and-consider-what-they-really-need"><span>3. Choose a practical gift and consider what they really need</span></h3><p>Consider useful gifts or presents that make his days a bit easier, such as the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/best-productivity-planners/">best productivity planners</a>. A planner will help him prioritize his daily tasks, work meetings, and appointments. Also, think of hobbies they partake in and gifts that align with those activities. For example, if your dad is always tending his garden, consider shopping for the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/best-gifts-for-gardeners-decorative-accessories-personalised-tools-seed-kits-and-more/">best garden gifts</a>. Or if he&apos;s a gym rat, a new gym bag or earbuds are gifts he&apos;ll use every time at the gym.</p>

They add that "finding the perfect gift is all about balance: between what he likes and what he actually needs".</p><p>There are a few things to keep in mind when thinking up gifts for dad, Ariton says, including questions like "is he missing anything in his grooming routine? Is there a gift that would make his day easier?", as well as considering how much you want to spend on a gift. "While it is the &apos;thought that counts&apos;, sometimes you want to give more than just a couple of happy thoughts".</p><p>Personalised gifts are another great way to ensure you&apos;re gifting your dad or stepdad  something truly special and unique. "Personalisation makes the item uniquely his", Ariton tells us, adding that "even if it&apos;s just his debossed initials on an Italian leather belt, or engraved on a pair of cufflinks - it&apos;s always the extra mile you went for that counts".</p>

several of the husbands in our lives what they would genuinely like to receive as a gift, and while their answered varied, certain themes popped up more than once. "Experiences are proving more useful these days as gifts, as houses are full of too much stuff that&apos;s gathered over the years", one husband told us. "So I&apos;d love something like an off-road experience, wildlife watching with an expert, pasta making, BBQ training, or an unusual night away, for example a shepherd’s hut trip or tickets to a gig".</p><p>Another husband we spoke to agreed, saying they would love to be gifted with "trips away - even if it&apos;s just an overnight or a day trip, getting a gift that forces me out of my routine is always good. And a trip is something we can enjoy together. I also like getting clothing items that take me outside my comfort zone, or that require a level of research or expertise that I don&apos;t have. Like a nice pair of boots, or a jacket or top in a cut I wouldn&apos;t normally go for".</p><p>Geninna Ariton, Marketing Specialist at <a href="https://www.trendhim.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Trendhim</a> , suggests looking for unique accessories that compliment your husband&apos;s style, when looking for a great gift. "Wearing accessories is a way of expressing what makes you your own", he tells us, "and one way to do that is through the smaller things you wear. And as a husband, it&apos;s important that you get to still have your identity apart from being a spouse or a part of a unit". Whether it&apos;s a "watch that stays true to their personality", a pair of go-to cufflinks that he can reach for when dressing for special occasions, or a stylish ring, choosing something that feels like &apos;him&apos; will always be appreciated.</p>

for their birthday?</h2><p>We crowdsource ideas and answers from husbands directly for this gift guide and got a glimpse into their most desired birthday presents. While a few of them gave us specific material items they either enjoyed receiving from their wife or hope to someday, most of the husbands we spoke to said that what they want most for their birthday is either gift experiences or gestures - like cooking his favorite meal or dedicating a day to watching his team play - that don&apos;t involve spending loads of money. </p><p>But, if you want to surprise your hubby with a gift they can unwrap, each husband we spoke to mentioned wanting the same useful gifts they can use every day, such as cologne, a water bottle, a weekender or a small bag to store his daily essentials, clothes, and shoes.</p>

Or have they hinted at an experience they’ve always wanted to do, that you could give them as a pleasant surprise?</p><p>If you&apos;re still struggling to find something to buy the man in your life who has everything already, try the following: </p><ul><li><strong>Consider gifting an experience:</strong> When we asked men in our lives what they would want to receive as a gift, from dads to friends and our partners, they all suggested experiences. Whether it’s tickets to a gig, theatre show or exhibition you can enjoy together, or a brewery tour or Secret Cinema experience for them and their partner, an experience is a great way to make sure they’ll never forget your gift. </li><li><strong>Think about things they might enjoy, but wouldn’t think to buy for themselves:</strong> Dads, stepdads and other male family members especially might not consider splashing out on certain extravagances, such as a high-quality beard oil or a particularly flashy piece of tech. Unique gadgets will always be appreciated: think nifty devices like smart lights, wireless speakers, and robot vacuum cleaners.</li><li><strong>Pay attention to any hints they may have dropped:</strong> Cast your mind back to any hints your recipient has made about a present they’d particularly like. Were you in a bookshop recently and a certain biography caught their eye? Have they been complaining that their trusty trainers are getting a bit worn out? Surprising them with something they didn’t need to actually ask for is a lovely way to show them that you’ve really considered their wants and needs. </li></ul>

therapists</span></h3><h2 id="how-to-make-someone-feel-special-on-their-birthday-long-distance">How to make someone feel special on their birthday long distance?</h2><p>We sourced expert advice from a marriage and family therapist on the best ways to pamper and make your partner feel special whether you&apos;re states apart or across the world. Relationship therapist and owner of <a href="https://threepointsrelationships.com/" target="_blank">Three Points Relationships</a>, Kate Engler, says it&apos;s first important to know and understand your partner&apos;s love language.</p><p>"Some people like affection, some really like gifts," Engler explained to <em>woman&home</em>. "When you&apos;re far away from someone, it&apos;s important to really know what&apos;s meaningful to them and what touches them."</p><p>To make your partner feel special on their birthday long distance, Engler recommends thinking about small things your partner has mentioned to you that they&apos;ve been wanting or needing. For example, gifting them a gift card to a restaurant they&apos;ve been wanting to try or treating them to a pedicure they&apos;ve been putting off getting until payday. </p><p>"Figure out what means the most to them and target [your gift] to something they wouldn&apos;t get for themselves or something that&apos;s a little out of the ordinary," Engler suggests. </p><p>Kendra Capalbo tells us that if your partner is celebrating a birthday and you can&apos;t be with them in person, the best way to make them feel special is through "little surprises throughout the day". She recommends "starting the day with a happy birthday text or phone call", before "continuing the festivities by having their favorite coffe/tea/smoothie delivered to them at home or work. If the two of you are into social media, a birthday post expressing how much you love them is always a great idea".</p><p>Capalbo also says that if you know your partner&apos;s friends or family well, you could even "arrange for that person to take them out for a nice dinner - on you, of course! - and then perhaps call the restaurant to arrange for a special dessert to be delivered at the end of the meal. End the day with a birthday call and make sure to express to your partner how much you look forward to spending many more trips round the sun with them".</p><p>You could also send long distance relationship gifts that evoke future plans and experiences that the two of you can look forward to together, such as experience gifts or a specially designed itinerary for your next trip together. This will help focus attention on when you&apos;ll next be together, rather than the fact you are currently apart. </p><h2 id="how-do-you-pamper-someone-in-a-long-distance-relationship">How do you pamper someone in a long-distance relationship?</h2><p>You might not be able to spend quality, in-person time with your partner as soon as you’d like, but long distance relationship gifts can help remind them of how loved they are.</p><p>Even though you may be over 200 miles apart from your significant other, there are still ways you can pamper and nurture your partner from afar. According to Engler, a few ways to spoil someone in a long-distance relationship is by sending them a few comforting gifts. These might include a cozy blanket with their favorite tea, or a gift card to order pizza for the ultimate movie night. Engler also recommends treating your partner to a spa day for some relaxing self-care. </p>

id="what-is-a-good-valentine-apos-s-day-gift-for-friends">What is a good Valentine&apos;s Day gift for friends?</h2><p>Valentine’s Day is mostly thought of as a day to show your appreciation for a partner, so you might think of gifting for this occasion as integral to romantic love. But your friends deserve just as much appreciation - whether you’re spending Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day with them and want to gift them something special in person, or you’re keen to send a delivery of flowers or a sweet personalized card to their home, a Valentine’s Day gift for friends should be something that will remind them how much you care.</p><p>Like the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/best-30th-birthday-gifts-for-her-him-372859/">best 30th birthday gifts</a>, a Galentine’s present can be a heartfelt, thoughtful homage to your friendship such as a scrapbook of memories, a specific <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/best-personalised-jewellery-gifts-384721/">personalized jewelry gift</a> like a charm with their initial on it, or a unique experience that the two of you can enjoy together, such as a pottery class or tickets to a comedy show. If in doubt, Galentine’s gifts can be self-care-focused, like a scented candle, an intensive hair mask, a bath bomb or even something as simple as a box of chocolates.</p><h2 id="is-there-a-valentine-apos-s-day-for-friends">Is there a Valentine&apos;s Day for friends?</h2><p>As popularised by Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation, Galentine’s Day falls on February 13, and is a chance to celebrate female friendships before the day of romantic love commences on February 14. Also known as Palentine’s, Galentine’s is an excuse to shower your best friends in love and gifts, or spend the evening bonding over your favorite activities. As Knope explains, “Ladies celebrating ladies”. Happy Galentine’s!</p>

She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 and has since worked with a number of brands including, Women&#039;s Health, Stylist and Goodto. A year on the w&amp;amp;h news team gained her invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first—as well as an AOP awards nomination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She&#039;s in the know about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys—and being a product specialist on a brand for bold women means that Aleesha also knows a thing or two about the must-buy sex toys. When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, trying out new recipes, exploring different wines and has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter after spending a year living in Madrid.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Her work has appeared in many of the UK’s top newspapers, including &lt;em&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Guardian&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;, as well as a wide range of magazines and websites such as &lt;em&gt;Red&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Psychologies&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Stylist&lt;/em&gt;. She specialises in consumer content - from buying guides and product reviews to gift round-ups that take the stress out of “what to buy for…” any occasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former lifestyle columnist for AOL, one of her pieces was the featured text in a GCSE English exam. Heidi’s work has sparked lively debates, with appearances on &lt;em&gt;ITV’s This Morning&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour&lt;/em&gt; - where she defended Harper Beckham’s use of a dummy - and mentions on &lt;em&gt;Loose Women&lt;/em&gt;, as well as being shared by Richard Branson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heidi lives on the North Coast of Ireland with her husband and their three children, plus an excessively fluffy cat and an irrepressibly energetic dog. She loves beach walks, espresso martinis, and being left in peace with a good book.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

Whether it’s for an engagement, anniversary, wedding, housewarming, or even a thank-you gift, homeware is always a brilliant choice. It’s practical, thoughtful, and often becomes a treasured keepsake both partners can enjoy.</p><p>“Why not enhance their everyday routine with a beautifully designed <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/clarence-pink-orange-ceramic-cafetiere-342200" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ceramic cafetière</a> or <a href="https://www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/always-right-always-wrong-mugs-set-of-two-368492" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">set of two mugs</a> to make every brew feel special? It’s a simple way to encourage them to take some well-deserved ‘them-time’. Or for a foolproof option, go for a stylish plant pot – perfect for growing their indoor garden, because their plant babies deserve to thrive too!”</p><p>Holly Harper, Head of Inspiration at <a href="https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Not on the High Street</a>, added:</p><p>“Practicality is key when choosing gifts for couples. Go for something useful rather than something that might not suit their taste. Look for items that fall into the ‘want, not need’ category – little luxuries they might not buy for themselves.</p><p>“I also love the idea of starting a tradition by gifting couples variations of the same type of present year after year. Gifts that reflect their personality or celebrate shared memories are always especially well-received.”</p><h2 id="what-to-get-a-couple-who-has-everything">What to get a couple who has everything</h2><p>With over 20 years of experience, wedding industry expert <a href="https://kellymortimer.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Kelly Mortimer</a> shares her advice for gifting a couple who has everything:</p><p>“Prioritise experiences over material items. Think about what the couple enjoys doing in their spare time or on date nights — this will give you plenty of clues. For those set on a tangible gift, choose items they might not realise they need. For example, if they love travelling, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/personalised_passport_holder" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">personalised passport holders</a> or <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=personalised%20luggage%20tag&ref=search_bar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">luggage tags</a> can be both thoughtful and practical.”</p><p>Francesca Pittaway, curator at <a href="https://www.zenaps.com/rclick.php?mid=18484&c_len=2592000&c_ts=1604494390&c_cnt=103504%7C0%7C0%7C1604494390%7Cwomanandhome-gb-1495397991183867400%7Caw%7C0&ir=b1916780-1e9c-11eb-916a-692d0b261307&pr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.notonthehighstreet.com%2F%3Fawc%3D18484_1604494390_7a9ab0d2291a7a719c933f376ce0d10c%26utm_source%3DAWIN%26utm_medium%3Daffiliate%26utm_campaign%3DFuture%2BPublishing.%26utm_term%3D103504&bId=HLEX_5fa2a4361ba759.59711188&cookie=1&c_d=zenaps.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Not on the High Street</a>, adds:</p><p>“Look for gifts with a story. Meaningful presents often come from their origins – products made from unusual materials, crafted with interesting techniques, or designed with environmental consciousness in mind. When a gift has a story to tell, whether about how it was made or its sustainable journey, it becomes even more special to the recipient.”</p><h2 id="what-s-a-good-gift-to-give-a-couple">What's a good gift to give a couple?</h2><p>Give the gift of time together. Experiences, rather than physical items, let couples enjoy quality moments they’ll truly remember. Unlike tangible gifts that might not suit their taste or risk duplicating what they already own, an experience creates lasting memories they can share and cherish.</p>

wallet, you can spend as little as $14/£14 on something like the cookbooks we included in this guide. Gifts typically range from $25 to over $100, depending on the item.</p><p>However, you don&apos;t need to spend a huge amount to get a gift that will show someone you care. "There isn&apos;t a &apos;one shoe fits all&apos; formula for a 21st birthday present when it comes to price", says Emma Threlfall, Buyer for Gifts and Collectibles at gifting retailer <a href="https://www.iwantoneofthose.com/" target="_blank">I Want One of Those</a>. "Spend what you can afford and what is reasonable to you". </p><p>If you&apos;ve got your eye on a gift which does push the boundaries of your budget, you could always join forces with a friend or family member and split the cost of a really special gift.</p>

US</a><br></li></ul><h2 id="how-to-choose-gifts-that-the-whole-family-will-love">How to choose gifts that the whole family will love</h2><p>First, keep the ages of any children in mind when shopping as there&apos;s no point buying a complicated board game for a household with toddlers. Look at games and activities they will be able to play together over Christmas when everyone tends to be at home more than usual, or choose ones that will stand the test of time and still be fun and in use by summer.</p><p>Most of all, think about what the family like to do together rather than separately—do they love watching movies, getting out and playing sport or planning days out to new places? Try gifting them something that will make their favorite activity even more fun or special, or treat them to something they would never think to do themselves. Buying for a family rather than shopping for smaller presents for each person might also mean you can afford something a little more extravagant than you may expect.</p><p>Personalized items will always go down well and show you&apos;ve thought of the whole family when shopping. However, if in doubt, remember that you will rarely go wrong with a food hamper that will appeal to all ages and can be enjoyed immediately over Christmas. </p><h2 id="what-is-a-good-gift-for-a-large-family">What is a good gift for a large family?</h2><p>We know it can be tricky to shop for Christmas gifts for a large family which spans multiple generations and interests - but it isn&apos;t impossible.</p><p>Whether it&apos;s the stressed-out college student or the 10-year-old who can&apos;t sit still, or the mom and dad who needs a break from work, a family vacation is something everyone can use and will enjoy. We recommend gifting the family an<a target="_blank" href="https://www.airbnb.com/giftcards"> Airbnb gift card</a>. Load the card with the funds of your choice, and all agree on a destination to vacation in. But if traveling with a large family out of the state sounds chaotic, you can keep things local and rent out a private movie theater screening for the evening. This is something fun everyone can enjoy and will make your family feel extra special.</p><p>If your family loves playing a fun game and is a little competitive, a Christmas scavenger hunt is a way for everyone to interact while scavenging for the best presents. You can shop <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/the-best-christmas-gifts-for-her-ideas-that-will-surprise-and-delight-the-special-woman-in-your-life/">for the best Christmas gifts for her</a>, <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/the-best-christmas-gifts-for-teenagers-from-tech-toys-to-cool-clothes-these-are-the-hottest-gifts-for-young-women-in-2020/">Christmas gifts for teenagers</a>, and <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/the-best-christmas-gifts-for-men-cool-unique-present-ideas-for-the-most-important-males-in-your-life/">Christmas gifts for men</a> and send each person to find a gift you know they&apos;ll love.</p>

First carving her career in communications and advertising agencies in Berlin and Barcelona, Anna&#039;s former life saw her work for film studios and inside a fashion house, before she moved to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://metro.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Metro.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;where her career highlights include heading up the SEO desk during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna&#039;s published work ranges from culture and films to human interest features and live news coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her spare time, she enjoys watching movies, discovering the next big thing in music, traveling, online shopping, and poring over poetry and magazines. When she&#039;s not consuming those things, she&#039;s probably writing about them.&amp;nbsp; Originally from Glasgow, Anna has lived in Berlin, Barcelona, and London, not to mention stints in Guernsey and Athens. When she&#039;s not struggling to navigate a new language, she&#039;s always chasing the next hot trend and perfect black dress (you can never have too many).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

The first step should be to consider what sort of jewelry your loved one already owns, wears and loves. If you’ve noticed that every piece of their daily jewelry collection is silver, it might be rogue to branch out to a gold item - however, if they’ve been known to occasionally sport a gold ring or pair of earrings, it might be worth the risk. Similarly, if your loved one tends to sway towards understated, simple pieces, it’s probably not wise to opt for a large pair of earrings or a chunky bangle.</p><p>A piece of personalized jewelry that features your loved ones’ zodiac sign is a good route to go down, and this will be an even more special gift if you know that they’re already into astrology, or feel particularly connected to their sign. A zodiac or birthstone piece of jewelry is a great way to add a personalized touch to a gift for someone you might be not be related to or life-long friends with. Someone’s star sign or birth month is a little less, well, personal than a loving message engraved into a bracelet or necklace, so this is a great option for those trickier gifts to choose, such as a partner’s family member or a colleague. Just make sure you’re 100% sure of their birth month or star sign before you invest!</p><p>Whoever you’re buying for, they’re sure to appreciate the extra thought that goes into the personalization of jewelry for a loved one. Most brands offer a gift wrapping option, too, sometimes for no extra cost.</p><h2 id="how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-custom-jewelry-made">How much does it cost to have custom jewelry made?</h2><p>It all depends on the material, brand, designer, and item you&apos;re buying. When it comes to a unique, personalized gift, you&apos;ll naturally generally pay more as you are purchasing a one-of-a-kind present. The price tag for custom jewelry can range anywhere from £25/$25 for a personalized chain bracelet from Trendhim to £600/$700 for a 14k solid gold tag necklace from Mejuri, it all depends on the level of personalization and materials.</p>

Holly Harper, Head of Product Curation at <a href="https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Not on the High Street</a>, says that "In these difficult times, the old saying &apos;it&apos;s the thought that counts&apos; has never been truer". It&apos;s true that you don&apos;t need to splash out to find a gift to make your loved ones happy, but how do you set your gift apart from the rest of the presents that people will receive this year?</p><p>We asked gift-giving experts for their top tips on finding unique Christmas gifts that will be remembered fondly for years to come. Read on for their best advice.</p><h2 id="top-5-tips-for-finding-unique-christmas-gifts">Top 5 tips for finding unique Christmas gifts</h2><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-1-cater-to-your-loved-ones-interests-and-passions"><span>1. Cater to your loved ones' interests and passions</span></h3><p>Harper’s advice for carving out a truly special gift for a loved one is to “start by thinking about the interests of the gift recipient. Do they like to stay active? Have they taken up a new hobby recently? Have they shared happy memories from a recent holiday?” Emma Threlfall, Buyer for Gifts and Collectibles at gifting retailer<a href="https://www.iwantoneofthose.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> I Want One of Those</a>, agrees, stating that “You don’t need to spend a lot of money on something, but rather find something that relates to a hobby, interest or passion of theirs”, and adding that the key is finding “the balance of sentimentality and novelty”.</p><p>Indeed, a unique gift doesn’t have to break the bank, but if it’s specific to a passion, interest, or hobby that the recipient loves, they’ll know you’ve really put the time in to think about what they would genuinely use and appreciate. Harper says a unique gift can “enhance or contribute to their passion or interest. For example, if your friend went to Sicily and was bowled over by the lifestyle, how about local artisanal olive oil, marmalade or wine to remind them of their trip”.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-2-shop-independent-brands-for-unique-ideas"><span>2. Shop independent brands for unique ideas</span></h3><p>When it comes to where to shop for unique gifts, Harper suggests seeking out “independent brands or stores to help you find a gift that will make their Christmas - local homeware stores can often be a treasure trove for unique and affordable gifts”. Beck Prior, founder of Bristol-based hub for artisanal and handmade products, <a href="https://www.priorshop.uk/" target="_blank">Prior</a>, also believes that shopping “with your local independent shop who supports makers” will allow you to find “completely one-of-a-kind” products in “beautiful boutiques, modern design pop-ups and family-run shops”. Many of the options in our list below are handmade or handcrafted by small and/or independent brands, meaning that it’s more likely your loved one won’t come across their gift anywhere else. “Products made by hand are not only unique”, Prior says, “but also great for the local economy and often the planet”.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-3-personalize-your-gift"><span>3. Personalize your gift</span></h3><p>One relatively simple way to make a more mainstream gift unique is to add a personalized aspect. Sites such as <a href="https://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> and Not on the High Street feature hundreds of personalized gift ideas. “One way to really stand out is to give a gift that’s made just for the recipient”, says Dayna Isom Johnson, Trend Expert at Etsy. For example, engraving “a custom initial to a piece of jewelry”. Adding a name, important date, or anything else that holds meaning for you and/or your loved one is an easy way to gift them something that no-one else will have.</p><p>Steph Douglas, CEO of unique gifting site <a href="https://www.dontbuyherflowers.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Don’t Buy Her Flowers</a>, adds that you should “always include a note. Everyone loves a personal message, and it’s a chance to tell someone you think they’re brilliant and you love them. It also makes your gift unique, as only you could write that message”. Lots of retailers allow you to add a gift note, even if the product itself is not personalized.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-4-give-a-gift-that-focuses-on-self-care"><span>4. Give a gift that focuses on self-care</span></h3><p>Douglas explains that when buying a gift, “work out how you want the recipient to feel. Are they tired? Do they need some TLC? Is it a bit of luxury they’re after? People often fall into the trap of buying the same things over and over, but if you think about the person you’re buying for and what has been going on in their life, it should help steer you to something thoughtful”.</p><p>She adds that “Most people - especially around Christmas when December may have been a whirlwind of shopping and planning and social gatherings - need a lie down by the time they get to the big day”. Douglass recommends looking for a gift “that’s all about encouraging rest and saying ‘I see you, you deserve some time for yourself” - think <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/buying-guides-reviews/best-scented-candles-330538/">scented candles</a>, bath salts, or a voucher for a massage or spa treatment.</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-5-try-out-brands-and-retailers-you-haven-t-shopped-before"><span>5. Try out brands and retailers you haven't shopped before</span></h3><p>As we’ve noted, retailers like Etsy, Not on the High Street and Don’t Buy Her Flowers are a great way to seek out specific brands, especially independent ones you may not have heard of before. Douglas suggests another easy way to find new brands: “Look for independent gift guides, or if you have a product in mind, search it on Instagram - i.e. ‘#necklace’ - and you’ll find a wealth of brands you’ve not heard of”.</p>

WILL LOVE</h2><p>Let her know how special she is this Christmas by really considering the things she loves or enjoys doing, whether she adores nights out dancing with the girls or prefers snuggling at home with the dog. Think of presents that might make her favorite hobby easier or even more enjoyable or upgrade something she already has such as switching much loved lounging clothes to cashmere or a worn-out handbag to a designer name.</p><p>Most of all, try choose presents she would never think to buy herself as she would consider them too indulgent, pricey or impractical. From high-end bath products to luxe gym gear, all will feel like a treat every time she uses them. Personalized items will also always go down a storm and show you&apos;ve given a little extra thought to her gift this year. Monogrammed stationery, embroidered clothing items or jewelry with a special meaning are all Christmas morning winners. </p>

Think of that last-minute rush to buy a suitably cheap secret Santa present on the way to the work Christmas party, or the masses of used wrapping paper that piles up by Boxing Day, causing unnecessary waste.</p><p>These eco-conscious gifts suit all interests, making them the perfect <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/15-christmas-gifts-for-friends-new-and-old/">Christmas gifts for friends </a>who fight for a greener planet.

themselves</h2><p>When we spoke to teens about what was on their Christmas wish list, a pattern emerged. Big brands that are known for their reliability came up more than once. An unsurprising favorite was Rihanna’s skincare and beauty brand Fenty, which Taya, 17, from Cornwall, said “is really good for combination skin and oily T-zones”. Eloise, 16, and Anastasia, 19, from Somerset, also both love the brand: Anastasia praised the make-up, because “there’s so many shades and variations, and it’s such good quality. It&apos;s also accessible as a drugstore brand, but still considered high-end”. </p><p>Some classic items came up, too: Taya called Converse “the go-to shoe”, while Apple AirPods were mentioned by a couple of our teens; Cara, 17, from Bath, likes that they allow you to walk a fair distance away from your phone and still listen to music.</p><p>Elsewhere, thoughtful and unique gifts also came up. Billie, 19, from East London, said they would appreciate a voucher for a manicure, pedicure, or massage, rather than simply a material gift. Saffron, 16, from Kent, said she would be asking for more manga magazines, as "the stories are really interesting", and she feels "part of a huge community" of other teen manga fanatics.</p>

Tanith Sellicks, MD of homeware gifting site <a href="https://puretabletop.com/home/" target="_blank">Pure Table Top</a>, explains that the key  to finding the perfect gift, even when on a budget, is how much consideration you put in to what you choose. </p><p>"We often panic about buying the perfect gift, but most people will be happy you’ve thought of them, and a little bit of consideration goes a long way when it comes to gift buying," Tanith explains.  </p><p>"When choosing products that will be given as gifts, always think about the person who’s going to be receiving it. What do they love? What makes that person unique? It might be their love of flowers, or their obsession with their dog. They might be a total foodie or a wine connoisseur. Sometimes you need to think about what they’d like to receive, rather than what you would!"</p><p>Gifting expert and founder of <a href="https://www.cijgroup.co/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CIJ group</a>, a communications company specializing in gifting, Courtney Rogers, also suggests, "A gift that evokes emotion and has an element of surprise is a thoughtful way to treat a friend for less. For example, you could try a  &apos;blind date with a book&apos; for as little as $5/£5. </p><p>"Simply pick a genre and description that you think the recipient will like - even better if it&apos;s an author they&apos;ve not heard of - and the rest is done for you. There’s instant intrigue guaranteed and you could add some chocolates or herbal tea with the book for a relaxing evening in."</p><h2 id="what-do-you-get-someone-who-doesn-apos-t-want-anything-for-their-birthday">What do you get someone who doesn&apos;t want anything for their birthday?</h2><p>We&apos;ve all got those friends or family members who won&apos;t tell us what they want for their birthday, insisting not to bother, yet we still want to make a gesture. </p><p>"Something from their year of birth is always popular, whether it’s a bottle of wine, port or a newspaper from the day they were born," Rogers suggests. "A piece of jewelry is also a classic and it can be made personalized by tailoring it to their birthstone or star sign."</p><p>"My belief is that everyone secretly wants a gift, they just don’t want to unwrap another pair of socks or replacement perfume that they could buy themselves," Rogers explains. "So for the gift grinches, an experiential gift is my go-to recommendation. A trip to the theatre or somewhere special like their favorite restaurant will always be well received and ensure they are entertained - and you can spend time together with them."</p><h2 id="what-are-the-key-things-to-think-about-if-you-want-to-buy-homeware-for-30th-birthday-gifts">What are the key things to think about if you want to buy homeware for 30th birthday gifts?</h2><p>Homeware is always a go-to for <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/40th-birthday-gift-ideas/">40th birthday gifts</a> and <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/50th-birthday-gift-ideas-372992/">50th birthday gifts</a>, but someone&apos;s 30th birthday is also a great chance to help them build their homeware collection that they&apos;ll keep for many decades to come - especially if they&apos;ve just bought their first home. </p><p>"Homeware is a great gift idea because it has longevity, it can be used time and time again," explains Tanith. To pick the perfect homeware as a 30th birthday gift, Tanith recommends: "Think about the person and how they live in their home. Do they drink endless amounts of tea? Do they love to host other people? Think about the colours they have in their home and try and complement them where you can. Also, consider their personality and tastes; do they like bright and bold, or calm and neutral? Do they follow trends or like the classics?" </p><p>"It’s also useful to think about the recipient and where they are in their stage of life. If it’s a new homeowner then more practical items may be gratefully received, if it&apos;s for someone who is well set-up in their home then look for something that they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves, or something they might want to update. Just remember to consider their personal style, rather than your own." </p><p><br></p>

"We often want to express to recipients how much they mean to us through a gift and when someone means a great deal to you, you might feel pressure to get it spot on. If someone means a lot to you, keeping them and why you love them front of mind when choosing something means you can’t go wrong."</p><p>It might sound cliche, but often the most memorable presents involve making memories. Book a weekend away, go for a fancy dinner or just plan a little surprise for them. You'll both never forget sharing quality time together doing something special.</p><p>Natalie Joliffe, co-owner of online luxury gifting retailer <a href="https://www.limetreelondon.com/" target="_blank">Lime Tree London</a>, explains, "As a 40 year old myself I know which gifts I like to receive! People always appreciate those especially luxury items that they wouldn’t necessarily go out and buy themselves, such as candles or flowers (real or artificial). A memorable gift is one that someone has put genuine thought into: someone who knows you well and has taken the time to find something they know you will love! For example, my husband bought me a hamper of goodies from Space NK for one of my 40th gifts, as he knows I spend too much on others and not enough on myself."</p><h2 id="what-do-you-get-someone-who-doesn-t-want-anything-for-their-birthday">What do you get someone who doesn't want anything for their birthday?</h2><p>Finding the perfect gift to mark a milestone birthday is even harder if your recipient is insistent they don't want anything! </p><p>"In this minimalist world, it's experiences that count. For friends, a night out drinking cocktails might be best," Joliffe continued. "While for husbands and partners, the promise of a swish dinner or experience that the whole family can enjoy together will go down well." Take a look at our list of the best <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/hobbies/this-list-of-hobbies-you-can-do-at-home-will-help-you-discover-a-new-passion/">hobbies for women</a> for some more ideas. </p><p>Tanith Sellicks, MD of homeware gifting site <a href="https://puretabletop.com/home/" target="_blank">Pure Table Top</a>, agrees that if someone says they don't want anything for their birthday, but you still want to get them something, then a gesture is best, "The question is do they really not want anything?

It’s not at all difficult to make, but we’d never tried cooking pizza in a frying pan before as Pizza Pilgrims do and were amazed at our pizza’s crisp, delicious base.

It comes with a silicone jacket to protect from burns, a stone floor, a detachable gas burner and a built-in thermometer. A detachable wood burner can be added for an extra cost for the full pizzeria effect. We were astonished at how neat it looked in the garden too, so it can easily be tucked away in the corner or shed when thoroughly cooled and not in use. Prepare the pizza dough and toppings and a basic Neopolitan will cook in less than a minute—ours earned a major thumbs-up from our entire hungry (and impatient) family. Just remember to leave plenty of time for the oven to heat up if cooking with wood and turn the pizza halfway through to avoid burning one crust. Pizza lovers with less cash to splash should try a Pizza Pilgrims at-home DIY kit instead.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="8bYV9mcWw4CtRZhb669gTk" name="Best Christmas food gifts Jamie Oliver book.jpg" alt="Front of Jamie Oliver book 'ONE'" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8bYV9mcWw4CtRZhb669gTk.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Penguin Michael Joseph )</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="5-one-by-jamie-oliver"><span class="title__text">5.

It would also be a great <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/fashion/gifts-for-students-370830/">gift for students</a> just starting to cook for themselves. It includes 120 budget-friendly recipes, all cooked in just one pan and using no more than eight ingredients with minimal prep.

If you’re not sure what they’ll like, an elegant box of macarons from world-famous Parisian pastry house Ladurée is bound to be delight. Available from November 2nd in a festive box decorated with snowflakes, it’s impossible not to be wowed by the rows of pastel-colored treats that—almost!—look too good to eat.</p><p>We loved the fact you could pick the flavors you wanted online to design the perfect box for the recipient, although it’s not possible to do this if you order the limited edition Christmas boxes. However, we think you just can’t go wrong with the classic flavors, and our favorites were the melt-in-the-mouth chocolate and the tasty vanilla. Boxes start at £23.50 ($25) for 8 but you could also send a giant collection of 24 for £62 ($67) if you’re buying for a family.

By trying and testing all of the Christmas food gifts included in this guide we can ensure that when we say we think these are the &apos;best&apos; you can buy this year for the foodie in your life, we really mean it and these products reflect the quality and value for money we look for when doing our own Christmas shopping. </p><h2 id="things-to-consider-before-buying-christmas-food-gifts-xa0">Things to consider before buying Christmas food gifts </h2><p>Always think about what the person you&apos;re buying for loves. Consider their tastes rather than your own, how they love to spend time and what they would consider a treat. It&apos;s also worth thinking about who they live with and what their house is like, so you don&apos;t saddle them with a new gadget they don&apos;t have room for. With Christmas food gifts, think about if they love to cook or find it a daily chore and would welcome a break. Would they prefer something practical they&apos;ll use every day or something extravagant that can be enjoyed over the holidays?</p><p>If sending food, it&apos;s also very important to know if the person will be at home to receive and consume it—there&apos;s no point sending a hamper full of perishables the day before they jet away for a tropical Christmas holiday. </p>

you choose good Christmas gifts for women?</h2><p>Award-winning stylist, TV presenter, blogger and fashion editor <a href="https://www.charlotteloves.co.uk/author/charlotte/" target="_blank">Charlotte Broadbent</a> of Charlotte Loves shares her failsafe rules for finding Christmas gifts for her that will surprise and delight this December:</p><ol><li>"Pay attention all year, listen and make notes," Charlotte says. "Ask her friends if you need to and try looking at her saved posts on Instagram."</li><li>Remember no one wants a bunch of flowers from the gas station. "Don't leave it til Christmas Eve!" Charlotte warns. "Prep, prep, prep is the name of the game."</li><li>If she's always rushed off her feet, think about what she needs most. "Give her 'the gift of time' with spa treatments," Charlotte says. "You could also try vouchers for local shops."</li><li>Look at her hobbies and the things she likes to do. Does she love to travel, read or drink wine? Find presents associated with those that she might never think to buy herself.</li><li>Tread carefully when buying clothes. "It's tricky for yourself, let alone a partner, so consider gifting her a personal stylist to get it right. Not only will she get bespoke advice to work with her tones, body shape and lifestyle needs, but it will be an uplifting experience too and a two for one gift! Failing that, rummage through her closet to discover her favorite looks and stick to her treasured brands."</li></ol>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;As woman&amp;amp;home&#039;s Beauty Channel Editor, Fiona Mckim has tried more beauty products than she’s had hot dinners and nothing makes her happier than raving about a brilliant find on womanandhome.com or her instagram grid &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/fionamckim/?hl=en&quot;&gt;(@fionamckim&lt;/a&gt; if you like hair experiments and cute shih-tzus). Fiona joined woman&amp;amp;home as Assistant Beauty Editor in 2013, working under industry legend Jo GB, who taught her everything she needed to know (clue: learn about ingredients and employ extreme cynicism).&amp;nbsp;She has since covered every corner of the industry, from interviewing dermatologists and celebrities to reporting backstage at Fashion Week and judging the w&amp;amp;h Beauty Awards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a previous life, Fiona studied journalism back home in bonnie Scotland and honed her skills as a features writer at publications including Junior and Prima Baby, with a brief and terrifying stint on the showbiz pages of a tabloid newspaper in between. She&#039;s a skincare fanatic who can’t resist adding an extra step to her routine, adores fragrance, has fun with makeup and never turns down the chance to test a new hair tool. Basically, she loves it all. When not slathering herself in self tan or peering at a tiny ingredients list on a moisturiser, you’ll probably find Fiona enjoying something to do with food - cooking it, eating it, cajoling her friends into voyaging across London to try a hyped pop-up in a dirty car park.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Come to think of it, the hot dinners and beauty products are probably about even.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After graduating from the University of Warwick, she started her career writing about the complexities of sex and relationships, before combining personal hobbies with professional and writing about fitness. Everything from the best protein powder to sleep technology, the latest health trend to nutrition essentials, Grace has a huge spectrum of interests in the wellness sphere. Having reported on the coronavirus pandemic since the very first swab, she now also counts public health among them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Outside of work, when Grace isn’t in the gym, on the climbing wall or getting to grips with swimming, cycling and running in advance of the next London Triathlon, you’ll find her sussing out the city’s latest coffee spots or experimenting in the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And while she’d always rather pick up a barbell than go to a yoga class, she believes that the best exercise is the one that you enjoy the most - and that wellness looks different for everyone.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p><strong>A gin advent calendar has become a staple in millions of households leading up to Christmas in recent years, thanks to the general boom in alternative advent calendars. Now, instead of having a chocolate treat every day in December, you can discover new and exciting distilleries, types, and flavors of gin from your own home - without having to invest in a full bottle.</strong></p><p>To help you find the best one, we&apos;re tried and tested a whole range of calendars on sale right now. From huge brands like Virgin Wines offering a great selection of Dry Gins and flavored spirits in their calendar to more independent distilleries forming their own calendar to help make Christmas a little merrier for fans of the classic gin and tonic combo. </p><p>These gin advent calendars make up some of the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gift/best-alcohol-advent-calendars/">best alcohol advent calendars</a> this year thanks to the wide selection of distilleries, flavors, and types of gin available. So, if you&apos;re looking for a great alternative to classic chocolate advent calendars, you&apos;ve come to the right place, these are the top gin advent calendars for 2022 on sale now.</p><h2 id="how-we-tested-the-best-gin-advent-calendars">How we tested the best gin advent calendars</h2><ul><li><strong>Price: </strong>When it comes to gin advent calendars, they really range across the spectrum of price - from around £40 to over £100. So we tested each calendar for quality and quantity in relation to its price. The more you get for your money, whether that's in the variety of gins, quality, or just the amount you get, the better the calendar in our books. </li><li><strong>Days included:</strong> Just like any other advent calendar, gin advent calendars tend to have 24 days worth of doors. However, some have a little more and some have half that, only counting down the final 12 days to Christmas. If a calendar only has 12 days, was it significantly cheaper than the others? And was it still worth the money? </li><li><strong>Delivery: </strong>Many of the calendars aren't available yet as we're still a few months away from Christmas, so we were sure to note when each of the calendars would be available for delivery, the chosen delivery method, and whether there was any additional cost involved in securing the calendar. </li><li><strong>Gin variety:</strong> The best thing about a gin advent calendar is getting to try new brands and flavors, like new varieties of Dry Gins from across the UK to specially-formulated fruity gins, so we rated every calendar based on the variety of gins they offered. </li></ul><h2 id="the-best-gin-advent-calendars-for-christmas-2022">The best gin advent calendars for Christmas 2022</h2><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="simXj29SyBUcsMawHUvTCi" name="christmas-gin-advent-calendar-virgin-wines (1).jpg" alt="Virgin Wines gin advent calendar, the best gin advent calendar to buy in 2022" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/simXj29SyBUcsMawHUvTCi.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Virgin Wines)</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="1-virgin-wines-gin-advent-calendar"><span class="title__text">1.

When testing the best gin advent calendars on sale this year, we found this one to be the same price as many of the others but with more gin per bottle, more widely recognizable brands, and more variety of flavors. The bottles are all uniquely branded in premium packaging by each distillery, leaving you with a colorful collection of miniatures by the end of the month. </p><p>Each of these gins sits behind one of 24 cardboard doors in its own unique 5cl glass bottle from a whole range of brands, ranging from famous sellers like Edinburgh Gin Distillery, Sipsmith, and Whitley Neill to gins specially formulated for the calendar by Henley Distillery. Alongside traditional London Dry and navy strength gins, you&apos;ll find flavored gins like raspberry pink gin as well as those orientated towards Christmas, such as Warner&apos;s seasonal Christmas Cake gin. Each one comes ready to crack open and enjoy with a splash of tonic.</p><p>One difference between this advent calendar and some of the others on our list is the upfront fee involved. There is a £10 reservation fee thanks to the popularity of the calendar coming up to Christmas, however, this is deductible from the complete £99.95 price of the calendar. While we don&apos;t think this should put you off Virgin Wines&apos; offering at all, it&apos;s worth noting as you&apos;ll have a separate charge to your debit or credit card. Delivery is also additional at £7.99 per calendar, regardless of how many you order. </p><p><br></p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="qurL8dSeMMovAjauCB3gNc" name="christmas-gin-advent-calendar-very-merry.jpg" alt="The Very Merry Advent Calendar by Craft Gin Club & Phillip Schofield" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/qurL8dSeMMovAjauCB3gNc.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Craft Gin Club & Phillip Schofield)</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="2-the-very-merry-gin-advent-calendar-by-craft-gin-club-and-phillip-schofield"><span class="title__text">2.

In this calendar, you&apos;ll find one more gin than in the Virgin Wines pick with a final exciting bottle on Christmas Day itself. </p><p>This advent calendar focuses on the smaller distilleries rather than bigger name brands but if you&apos;re a big gin fan, you&apos;ll recognize some picks from the likes of Manchester Gin and Tarquin&apos;s. However, we found that the favorites came from even smaller distilleries, such as Pennington&apos;s Lakeland Moon Gin and cuckoo supernova gin. It&apos;s a great opportunity to try new distilleries and new flavors from across the UK. </p><p>If you&apos;re more into traditional tastes than Christmas-inspired, citrus, or other flavored gins, then this is also the one for you. Throughout the box, there are more classic London, American, Cambridge, Leicester, and Alpine dry gin than flavored spirits. Although these do appear through the month and we loved Wardington&apos;s Original Ludlow Spiced Gin in particular. </p><p>Rather than a simple box, this calendar opens out like a book with two folding doors. However, as well as less premium and unique bottling aesthetics than the Virgin Wines calendar, the doors on this calendar are relatively tough to open. Great for keeping your gins secure, but more of a struggle when it comes to getting to them. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="UuPZJiMobwKt88FnaPhx57" name="christmas-gin-advent-calendar-drinks-by-the-dram.jpg" alt="Drinks By The Dram gin advent calendar" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UuPZJiMobwKt88FnaPhx57.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Drinks By The Dram)</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="3-the-premium-gin-advent-calendar-from-drinks-by-the-dram"><span class="title__text">3.

Coming in at £99.95, it&apos;s almost the same price as the Virgin Wines and Very Merry Gin Advent Calendar but each glass bottle contains 3cl of gin rather than 5cl, all of them finished with the same black wax seal. </p><p>Thanks to the smaller bottle sizes, this calendar is smaller overall than many of the other picks on our list, so it may be the best one to go for if you don&apos;t have a lot of space to store your gin advent calendar in the lead-up to Christmas.</p><p>While you&apos;ll find big-name brands in this selection, some premium gins caught our eye as these aren&apos;t available in any other advent calendar we&apos;ve seen. Particular highlights of Drinks By The Dram include Hendrick&apos;s traditional and Neptunia gin, a sample of Roku Gin, and two different flavors of rye gin from Kyrö Distillery Company, a multi-award-winning Finnish distillery. Many of these make for unlikely pairings for the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/gifts/cheese-advent-calendars/">best cheese advent calendars</a> so if you&apos;ve got space for more than one on your shelf this year, complement your gins with a slice of cheese.</p><p>All bottles inside this advent calendar look the same with the logo of the distillery stamped on the front label, but you can choose the exterior appearance of your calendar with four different designs available at check out: Original, Art Deco, White Christmas, and Craft. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="nBZifnNrW44kxmc8BGyVTV" name="christmas-gin-advent-calendar-bloom.jpg" alt="Quintessential Brands gin advent calendar" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nBZifnNrW44kxmc8BGyVTV.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Quintessential Brands)</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="4-quintessential-brands-gin-advent-calendar"><span class="title__text">4.

Along with 25 different gins to taste and explore, we loved that this calendar also comes with accessories to make the perfect gin and tonic with the BLOOM branded ice rose mould and Greenall&apos;s jigger and lime squeezer. </p><p>Compared to others on our list, the Quintessential Brands calendar is slightly cheaper at just over £89 and you certainly get a lot for your money. Gin highlights include the four different flavors of Ophir, a gin inspired by the Ancient Spice Route stretching from the West coast of Japan through to the Islands of Indonesia, through India and the Middle East; offerings from BLOOM, a floral gin in passionfruit and vanilla, and jasmine and rose flavors, and Greenall&apos;s London Dry and two different fruity gins. </p><p>However, there are only a couple of standard London Dry gins in the box so if you&apos;re more interested in classical botanical gins then this may not be the calendar for you and The Very Merry Gin Advent Calendar could be a better choice. Most of the gins here are uniquely flavored, focusing on spices, florals, and fruits. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="6jpC5EVPRiYYfBNBegF5P" name="christmas-gin-advent-calendar-12.jpg" alt="Halewood Wine & Spirits 12 Gins of Christmas Advent Calendar" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/6jpC5EVPRiYYfBNBegF5P.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit:  Halewood Wine & Spirits )</span></figcaption></figure><div class="buying-guide-block"><h3 id="5-halewood-wine-spirits-12-gins-of-christmas-advent-calendar"><span class="title__text">5.

Despite being sold as a Christmas advent calendar, there are no specific days noted on the front of the drawers but the simple process of one drawer a day is easy enough.

First carving her career in communications and advertising agencies in Berlin and Barcelona, Anna&#039;s former life saw her work for film studios and inside a fashion house, before she moved to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://metro.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Metro.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;where her career highlights include heading up the SEO desk during the Covid-19 pandemic. Anna&#039;s published work ranges from culture and films to human interest features and live news coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her spare time, she enjoys watching movies, discovering the next big thing in music, traveling, online shopping, and poring over poetry and magazines. When she&#039;s not consuming those things, she&#039;s probably writing about them.&amp;nbsp; Originally from Glasgow, Anna has lived in Berlin, Barcelona, and London, not to mention stints in Guernsey and Athens. When she&#039;s not struggling to navigate a new language, she&#039;s always chasing the next hot trend and perfect black dress (you can never have too many).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After graduating from the University of Warwick, she started her career writing about the complexities of sex and relationships, before combining personal hobbies with professional and writing about fitness. Everything from the best protein powder to sleep technology, the latest health trend to nutrition essentials, Grace has a huge spectrum of interests in the wellness sphere. Having reported on the coronavirus pandemic since the very first swab, she now also counts public health among them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outside of work, when Grace isn’t in the gym, on the climbing wall or getting to grips with swimming, cycling and running in advance of the next London Triathlon, you’ll find her sussing out the city’s latest coffee spots or experimenting in the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And while she’d always rather pick up a barbell than go to a yoga class, she believes that the best exercise is the one that you enjoy the most - and that wellness looks different for everyone.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

If you&apos;re gifting this advent calendar, much like sending someone one of the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/food/best-christmas-food-hampers-2020/">best Christmas hampers</a>, you&apos;ll want to ensure someone is at home to receive your gift. </p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-how-to-best-store-and-serve-cheese-from-advent-calendars"><span>How to best store and serve cheese from advent calendars</span></h3><p>"Store your cheese in the fridge, using the salad drawer or a slightly open Tupperware will provide the best humidity levels," says <a href="https://www.paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk/blog/hero-hirsh-academy-of-cheese-level-two" target="_blank">Hero Hirsh</a>, head of retail at <a href="https://www.paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paxton & Whitfield</a>, the UK&apos;s oldest cheesemonger. "Avoid clingfilm though. Waxed paper is best but if you lose the original wrapping for the cheese, a piece of baking parchment or a reusable beeswax wrap will be a good replacement."</p><p>When it comes to serving the cheese, it&apos;s also important to ensure that you&apos;re using the right kind of knife. "Soft cheese knives are usually designed with holes in the blade to stop the cheese sticking to the blade," Hirsh says. "A small hatchet knife is great for cutting hard cheese such as Gouda or mature Cheddar and a hard cheese knife will make light work of cutting a Double Gloucester or Red Leicester."</p><p>If you&apos;re looking to go more specialist, a Stilton Scoop is perfect for scooping your Stilton out of a Stilton jar or a whole Stilton. </p><p>However, she explains, "If you don&apos;t have a set of cheese knives, providing a separate sharp kitchen knife for blue and non-blue cheeses will keep your leftovers from picking up blue mold when you store them afterward."</p><h3 class="article-body__section" id="section-what-pairs-well-with-cheese"><span>What pairs well with cheese?</span></h3><p>"We hear a lot of people insist that you should only serve red wine with cheese, but I find whites actually work much better," says Hirsh. "The most versatile varieties for a selection of cheese would be medium-full bodied whites such as Albarino or Chardonnay."</p><p>A port also pairs well with many types of cheese. "A tawny style will work best. I have matched 10 or 20-year-old tawny ports with alpines, cheddars, mature chevre, triple cream, traditional British territorial styles, and of course, blue cheeses."</p><p>Hirsh also explains that there&apos;s a growing trend for more unique pairing options - like beer. "Plenty of great beer shops are cropping up on every high street with some incredible selections, including non-alcoholic options," she says. There are also plenty of brilliant <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/food/recipes/low-alcohol-wines-137835/">low-alcohol wines</a> to choose from if you want the taste of the grape, without the boozy feel afterward. </p><p>"While beer may not seem like a traditional choice for a Christmas board, anyone who tries the combination of Stilton with a black treacle stout won&apos;t be able to resist the festive spirit."</p>

Menghini suggests presents such as engraved photo frames, experiences such as a couples' spa day, kitchen gadgets, or champagne and wine for an engagement gift. "Wedding presents, on the other hand, are given to the couple on their wedding day and are typically more substantial, ranging from honeymoon funds to larger monetary gifts; they're intended to help the couple establish their new life together."</p><p>Tara Butler, gifting expert at <a href="https://www.gettingpersonal.co.uk/occasions/top-gift-occasions/engagement/" target="_blank">Getting Personal</a>, suggests personalised gifts such as "a wedding fund box or a wedding planner notebook," make good engagement presents, "or if they were lucky enough to capture some pictures of the actual engagement, then a photo frame might be perfect."</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>Is An Engagement Gift Necessary?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>This will depend on your lots of factors, including how close you are to the engaged couple. Menghini tells us that "engagement gifts are not strictly necessary or obligatory, but they are a beautiful gesture to celebrate the couple's new chapter in life. Giving an engagement gift is a way to show your support and excitement for the couple's upcoming wedding and future together, but it's a personal choice, and your presence and well wishes at their engagement party or celebration can also be sufficient."</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>What Is An Appropriate Amount To Spend On An Engagement Gift?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>"The amount you spend on an engagement gift primarily depends on your relationship with the couple, your personal budget and the customs within your social circle," says Menghini. "There is no set rule for the specific amount to spend, as gifts can range from small tokens to more substantial presents. It's important to consider what feels comfortable and meaningful to you."</p><p>She also stresses that engagement gifts don't have to set you back too much: "hand-painted pictures of that engagement moment or even a handmade candle reflecting the place they got married" are just some of her suggestions. "Try to take time to think outside the box about little touches," Menghini adds.</p></article></section><section class="article__schema-question"><h3>Can You Give Cash Or Gift Cards As An Engagement Present?</h3><article class="article__schema-answer"><p>Butler tells us that "cash or gifts will always be welcomed, but you can make the gift feel a little more personal by giving the couple their gift in a memory box, or with a small token like a notebook." Menghini says that "cash or gift cards can be perfectly acceptable and appreciated engagement presents; they offer the couple flexibility to use the gift as they see fit, whether it's contributing to wedding expenses, saving for their future, or purchasing something they desire."</p><p>However, she adds that "if you choose to give cash or gift cards, it's always a nice touch to accompany them with a heartfelt note or a small, symbolic item to make the gift feel more personal. Ultimately, the choice of engagement gift should reflect your relationship with the couple and the level of your personal connection."</p></article></section>

Queen Elizabeth also celebrated her 40th year on the throne with a &apos;Ruby Jubilee&apos; in 1992. </p><p>Ruby signifies wealth, prosperity, and courage. This vivid red gemstone is also the birthstone for July, so if your recipient&apos;s birthday falls within that month, it becomes an even more fitting present and you can browse our guide to great <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/life/birthstone-gift-ideas-you-ll-want-to-keep-for-yourself-91004/">birthstone gifts</a>.</p><p>You can gift your partner or loved one a ruby pendant, bracelet, or a pair of ruby studs if you want to buy some jewelry to mark the occasion. However, if they&apos;re not one for jewelry, you can still go the traditional route and purchase a ruby-colored item instead — for instance, glassware, a wallet, flowers or a leather-bound notebook.</p><h2 id="what-do-you-get-someone-for-their-40th-birthday-if-they-have-everything-already-xa0">What do you get someone for their 40th birthday if they have everything already? </h2><p>The oldest millennials are either in or on the brink of their 40s. Millennials have a reputation for valuing experiences over material items – and a <a href="https://www.storagecafe.com/blog/latest-gift-trends-millennials-choose-experiences/" target="_blank">2021 survey from StorageCafe</a> about gift-giving trends confirms that&apos;s still the case. According to the millennials polled, 17% of them said experiences make the best gifts, followed by tech (13%), jewelry (9%), and household items (8%).</p><p>Based on the above data, you&apos;ll truly impress your middle-aged millennial with an experience gift like an online class, weekend excursion or virtual meet-and-greet with a beloved celebrity. However, if you insist on giving something tangible, a practical gift will suit, whether it&apos;s a high-tech activity tracker or a table-top pizza maker.</p><p>What else do millennials enjoy? Nostalgia (just think of all the franchise reboots and retro product re-launches that currently exist). Of course, as we grow older, we&apos;re naturally inclined to think of &apos;the good old days,&apos; anyway. Thus, a gift that harkens back to older millennials&apos; youthful, carefree days of the &apos;80s and early &apos;90s is bound to hit the right notes.</p><p>As for milestone-specific gifts, you&apos;ll go far with something subtle. No longer is turning 40 a sure sign you&apos;re becoming &apos;old&apos;—in fact, 4 in 10 adults view their 40s as a fresh start according to research from <a href="https://swnsdigital.com/uk/2021/05/life-really-does-begin-in-your-forties-with-holidays-friendships-and-fitness-all-better-than-in-previous-years/" target="_blank">South West News Digital</a>. But keep in mind that everyone is different. If you know for sure that your recipient isn&apos;t ready to accept the fact that they&apos;re entering their fifth decade, avoid gifting them anything that expresses that sentiment, no matter how tasteful.</p>

id="what-is-a-token-of-appreciation-and-what-is-considered-an-appropriate-token-of-thanks-if-you-don-x2019-t-have-a-large-budget-xa0">What is a token of appreciation and what is considered an appropriate token of thanks if you don’t have a large budget?  </h2><p>Dayna Isom Johnson, Trend Expert at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Etsy</a>, tells us that a token of appreciation "is something that shows gratitude, whether it be an act of kindness, a card or a gift. More than ever, shoppers are prioritizing extra-thoughtful gifts that show their appreciation for loved ones, so if in doubt, I always opt for something customized or personalized - to me, nothing says &apos;thank you&apos; like a one-of-a-kind gift that&apos;s tailor-made just for the recipient". Johnson adds that when looking for a personalized gift, considering the recipient&apos;s "personal style, hobbies and interests, or whether they&apos;ve had a recent life change (like a new home)" is the best way to find something special.</p><p><a href="https://www.wizzandco.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wizz Selvey</a>, former Head of Buying at Selfridges, echoes this sentiment. "If you&apos;re looking for small acts of gratitude to show someone you care, get personal! What are the small things they may be cutting back on, that you can treat them to as a thank you?", she says. "You can often get creative with smaller gifts, so think about what they will appreciate. Self-care or bath products? Sweets like a cake or chocolates? Or are they the type of person who will appreciate a luxury box of tea, or coffee?"</p><h2 id="how-much-should-you-spend-on-a-thank-you-gift-xa0">How much should you spend on a thank you gift? </h2><p>There isn&apos;t a specific amount on how much you should spend on gifts because it all boils down to what you&apos;re comfortable spending. But if you need a little more guidance, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seemabansalchadha/?hl=en">Seema Bansal Chadha</a>, Co-founder of <a href="https://www.venusetfleur.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Venus et Fleur</a> and gifting expert explains to woman&home that the amount really depends on your relationship with the person - and the occasion.</p><p>A thank you gift for a teacher, work colleague, or acquaintance that you&apos;re not incredibly close to, should be purchased with a smaller budget in mind than, say, for a close friend, family member or member of your wedding party. "You will probably want to spend more on a thank you gift for a close friend or family member than a coworker or somebody you don&apos;t know as well," agrees Chadha. </p><p>Selvey tells us that for a smaller token of gratitude, "budget from £5-£15 (or approx. $6-$18). Gifts in this category might include things like bottles of prosecco or wine, boxes of chocolates and truffles, a hand-made bar of soap or small scented candle. Holly Harper, Head of Product Curation at <a href="https://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=18484&awinaffid=103504&clickref=womanandhome-gb-1214226033031198500&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.notonthehighstreet.com%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Not on the High Street</a>, also believes that affordable thank you gifts are easy to find, such as "seed packets (that will grow into something and act as a reminder of the gift), or creative twists on the classics, like boxes of chocolates, teas or hand soaps."</p><p>For someone who you&apos;re a little closer to, a budget for a thank you gift could fall into a similar terrain as, for example, what you might spend when looking for one of the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/best-30th-birthday-gifts-for-her-him-372859/">best 30th birthday gifts</a> or one of the <a href="https://www.womanandhome.com/gifts/best-gifts-for-couples-personal-practical-present-ideas-372645/">best gifts for couples</a>. </p><p>Chadha explains what&apos;s most important is that you express your gratitude and sincerity through a heartfelt gift, rather than working to a specific budget though. "Try to make it feel personal and look out for anything they may like, such as their favorite color." </p>
