1. Carry-on Cocktail Kit
These cute little cocktail kits are just one of those things that you often want to buy for yourself but for one reason or another, ever end up purchasing. Each package contains ingredients for two cocktails, a recipe card, linen coaster, and stirrer.
The best part is you can make the present more personal by selecting a kit based on your recipient’s favourite drink. So whether they like a Moscow mule, an Italian spritz or the classic gin and tonic, you’ll find plenty of options. Cheers to their good health and yours.
2. DJI OSMO Pocket
This camera may be tiny and slide into pockets and Christmas stockings, but it packs a punch. A 3-axis stabilised, handheld camera – it’s the perfect gift choice for seasoned or inspiring film-makers who want to capture small moments or big adventures on-the-go. This compact device will enable them to shoot in 4k at 60fps, one-hundred percent shake-free.
3. Jewellery from Mejuri
Mejuri is a jewellery company created for women by women. They empower women to buy fine jewellery for themselves (instead of waiting for a man to buy them something). So if you’re a woman looking for something thoughtful and unique to give a female loved one – a sister or a mother or a girlfriend – this Christmas, introduce them to Mejuri. Their timeless, ethical and hand-crafted pieces are something your female loved ones will treasure year after year and wear every day.
4. Rose quartz roller
With burn-out levels at an all-time high, most days it feels like we could all get a little more self-care in our routine, which is why these jade rollers are perfect. A wellness ritual that dates back to ancient China, just five to ten minutes a day of facial rolling is believed to have relaxing and de-stressing benefits. Think of it as a tool that promotes inner and outer beauty through a gentle daily massage.
5. Saje Pocket Farmacy
Saje transforms essential oils into something you can use every day for your wellbeing. Their compact Pocket Farmacy is a collection of blends that can alleviate everything from muscle pain and stress to headaches and upset tummies. Plus they smell fantastic! Our editorial team loves this company, and you can bet that every single one of us has one or several Saje products on our desk. This little kit includes some our favourite remedies: Pain Release, Peppermint Halo, Eater’s Digest, Immune and Stress Release.
6. Five Minute Journal
Want to arm someone with the gift of mindfulness and intention in 2020? If so, put the Five Minute Journal under their Christmas tree. This nifty little journal proposes to work wonders in minutes and is based on psychological research. The format of this journal is simple: you start and end each day with gratitude by writing for just five minutes. The Five Minute Journal has thousands of fans, many of whom claim that focusing on the positive in their lives has led to increased happiness, better relationships and feeling more optimistic.
7. Personalised Longchamp Le Pliage bag
