The Ultimate Gift Guide

Struggling to find the perfect present? Relax, I have done the hard work for you. This is your cheat sheet for every impossible person on your list. Still can't find what you want, send me a message and I'll come up with something brilliant.

The Teacher Present

Teacher presents are always one of the trickiest gifts to get. You don’t want to spend too much, and you’re aware that they’re likely to receive lots of gifts already. Hopefully, I’ve thought outside the box with these choices to make them a little different and meaningful. I would always pair them with a thoughtful homemade card, as a personal message can make even a small gift feel truly special and appreciated. This way, the stress of finding the “perfect” gift is taken away, while still showing genuine gratitude for all the hard work teachers do.

Grandparents

When it comes to gifts for grandparents, it’s the personal touches that really make them special. I tend to stay away from small “grandparent” keepsakes and instead choose gifts that are useful, thoughtful, and likely to be enjoyed every day. If you have children, always include a handmade or personalised card from them, grandparents absolutely treasure these keepsakes. If you don’t have little ones, take the time to write a thoughtful note or pick out a funny card instead. These small, heartfelt details always go down well and often mean just as much (if not more) than the gift itself.

The Children

Whether it be your own children, your niece, nephew or friends children, we have you covered.

Struggling to fill a stocking or Santa’s sack and not sure where to start? Here’s my approach: include three to four medium-sized gifts, one fun novelty or joke gift, and a couple of practical items like a scarf, gloves, football kit, goalie gloves, trainers, or PJs. Then add a little treat or playful item, such as a bath bomb, bubble bath, novelty sponge, board game, or a favourite snack like a yard of Jaffa Cakes or Oreos. This mix of thoughtful, practical, and fun goodies makes for a stocking that everyone will love.
