I am so excited to be sharing my first proper Christmas gift guide post. A couple of years ago I wrote a post on buying gender neutral Christmas gifts, but it was mainly just ideas and not really a full comprehensive list. After the year we've had with the pandemic, it is increasingly important to support small businesses. Therefore, I will be sharing some of my favourite small businesses which I think sell products that would make great Christmas gifts.


Lifestyle


Inside the Fragrance


Alisha from Inside the Voyage blog has started selling the most amazing smelling wax melts. They are such good value for money and I can't recommend these enough! Perfect for a relaxing, self-care evening.

Needle & Stitch


Paulina has very recently started Needle & Stitch. She is making really cute felt keyrings at the moment that would make great stocking fillers!


Melissa Mary Creates


Melissa sells homemade crafts on her Etsy page. These include conker wreaths and really pretty candle jars.


Asia Jade Beauty


Over on Asia's Instagram page, she sells dupes of designer perfumes and aftershaves such as Dior Sauvage that smell exactly like the real thing for such a good price. I have tried the 449 which is a dupe of Jimmy Choo Fever and it smells the same. I would definitely recommend these as Christmas gifts.

Simply Katy


Katy has an Etsy shop where she sells prints of locations and cities that she designs herself. Some of the locations include Amsterdam, Lincoln and Venice. I just really love the prints she creates and they would look great on someone's wall. They are well priced for the quality.


The Artist's Lab


Lauren from the Artist's Lab sells embroidery kits for beginners. This would be a great gift for someone creative. It would also be a good present to get someone in case of another lockdown or self-isolation. It's something to do while at home and could be a great way to unwind and get away from a screen for a while.


Earrings


Jess Adams


Jess sells really cool statement earrings over on her Etsy. I have been loving statement earrings from small businesses at the moment, they are all just so unique.


Art by Kateh


Kate makes the most beautiful resin earrings with pressed flowers. These would make great gifts for people who love earrings like this.


Alice Lizzy


I haven't seen any earrings like the one Alice makes before. They are so unique and look so cool! Again, they are statement earrings so would be great for people who wear earrings. Alice has made a Christmas gift box containing 4 pairs of polyclay earrings for the value of £17, saving you £7! You can add an optional personal message with this gift box and the packaging is 100% recyclable.


Use the code GIFTGUIDE20 for 20% off when buying any product from Alice Lizzy.

Stationary


Amanthis


Amanthis is a black-owned small stationary shop with a great range of helpful products. My go-to product from Amanthis is the Master Mindset Diary. I couldn't live without it at uni. For more information, read my review of the Master Mindset Diary by Amanthis.

Robin and Thorn


Robin and Thorn is a small lifestyle shop. They have all sorts of products including stationary. I use their list pads for my to-do lists and I find it really helpful.


Gifts for bloggers


Jordanne Lee Creative on Gumroad


Jordanne from Of a Glasgow Girl has some really helpful products on her Gumroad including Instagram highlight covers and blogging planners.


Use code LAUREN20 for 20% off your order.


Jenny in Neverland on Gumroad


Again, Jenny has some really helpful products on her Gumroad. Her products are particularly helpful for blogging beginners.


Stocking fillers


Carfume


Carfume is a luxury car scent business. These would make great stocking fillers for drivers as we all love to have nice smelling cars.


Carfume


Children's gifts



Abi from The Peg Place, makes really sweet peg dolls for children. She has made Disney princess dolls, Frozen dolls and Toy Story dolls too so far, among others. These would make lovely Christmas gifts for little ones and they are even more special because they are hand-made and eco friendly.

  12. This is a great gift guide & I agree it's important to support small businesses especially during this time of year!
    I bought one of Jordanne's blog planners for myself so I would definitely recommend her planners! I need to get a Carfume air freshner for my boyfriend's car & The Peg Place dolls would be great for my daughter!
    One of my favorite small businneses is Art by Lena (https://artbylena.bigcartel.com/). I've bought wooden ornaments for my parents, stickers for my daughter, bookmarks for my friend & prints & notebooks for myself!
