Noel tea light holders

One of our favourite online UK gift shops is Boutiko. They always have a gorgeous range of gifts at any time of the year.

But this christmas season they have a fantastic collection of winter treats. My particular favourites are these wonderful Noel tea light holders.

I recently received an email from a GiftChooser follower who was on the hunt for a fabulous gift idea for his wife’s birthday.

Fed up with buying the usual restaurant meals, flowers, chocolates etc… he wanted more of an unusual gift.

Do you have friends and family on your list who have everything they want anyway? Then what is the point of buying a present they don’t want, need or like?

Not everybody wants to spend their hard earned money on unwanted christmas gifts. So more people are turning to meaningful gifts and cards for their seasonal giving.

Kate Gary is a designer and artist in the UK. She crafts and creates a quirky and eclectic range of loveable characters then uses them to embellish a variety of her handcrafted products.

They make truly unusual gifts for people as they are handmade in such a limited number.

I have found the latest range of designer beds for cats that would make the perfect present for cat lovers everywhere.

The KatKabin DezRez is a fantastic feline shaped shelter for cats that can be placed inside or out and will have any cat owner eager to get one!

In days where we often entertain at home, or at least drink more at home than we ever used to (it’s often cheaper than visiting the pub!) a wine rack seems to be something that everyone needs.

It’s always handy having a bottle of the grape juice to hand in case of unexpected visitors or a bottle of bubbly for those surprise celebrations.

Agony Aunt at Giftchooser recently got a query from a Julia who is stuck for gift ideas for a school friend.

She asks Agony Aunt:

We are doing a secret santa at school, and I don’t know what to get my 13 year old friend. She’s not exactly picky, but I want to get her something unusual. she likes ice-cream, chocolate, cows and pink, she’s a girly girl. She is also quite funny and likes jokes and humour. Please help as I am really stuck.

Christmas is always a time for buying lots of presents for family and friends, but I find it harder and harder each year to find presents within my budget that are useful, wanted and appreciated.

I have to admit that I am turning to buying virtual gifts more and more. Avoid the busy shops and streets, the cold and wet weather and buy from the comfort of your own cosy living room. One charity gift site that I’ve discovered this year is called Part and Parcel.
