Not vegan as they contain beeswax so just bear that in mind if buying for a vegan

If you have a beauty lover on your Christmas list, or just want to send someone a care package they can enjoy on a Friday night, this is a lovely option. It's all organic, eco-friendly and handmade in the UK. You get a lotion bar, soap, mineral bath infusions, two tea tealights and two bath melts.  You can pick the scent too – choose between jasmine, sweet clementine or rose Maroc, all of which sound pretty dreamy to us. 

There is a vegan version available too.

You can choose gifts for other occasions too, but with the Birthday one you get a rose plant (yes a proper plant that they can keep for as long as they can keep it alive for), a bottle of rose wine and a cute bar of chocolate.

Our most expensive pick (but lasts longer than flowers)

Silk flowers are the perfect gift, because unlike real flowers they are going to last way longer than a week. This lovely bouquet looks really authentic too, no one would know they weren't real. We love the colours in this arrangement, the deep red, dusky pinks and dark green folliage are perfect for this time of year but you can choose from lots of different blooms depending on your style. Each bouquet is carefully packaged by hand and can obviously fit neatly into a letterbox.
