Females rock Christmas. Second to Santa, they take on the monumental tasks to ensure everyone has a magical time. Mum. Daughter. Gran. Sister. Girlfriend … all deserve to be spoilt rotten at Christmas. But what do you buy someone who looks after you, loves you and always has your back? They deserve the world – but here are some gift suggestions if you can’t stretch to planet real estate! Remember, all of our previous gift guides can be found here 😊

MUSSO E80 MUSE FEMME
POSTURE ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIR
‘Designed for Women, Engineered for Comfort’
As a person who spends a considerable amount of daytime sitting at my desk, a chair that is comfortable makes all the difference. So that’s why I’ve picked this E80 Muse office chair from MUSSO (£563.99) as a fabulous gift idea for any female in your life who has a home office or works from home. Or even a gamer, as these ergonomic chairs have so many adjustments you can set it up to suit you perfectly.
The E80 Muse FemmePosture Ergonomic Office Chair is designed for a women’s average height (145cm-180cm), with a generous 150kg weight limit. It has several features that make this chair stand out from all the others. ErgoHug Lumbar Support adjusts in height & flexes 20° to cradle your lower back. CozyCloud Cushioning is 20% softer than standard foam for all-day comfort. Flip-Up Armrests allow you to switch between work and play effortlessly. And it has a 4-level recline that locks between 90° and 135° for ultimate relaxation. The pull out leg rest is amazing too, for when you want to recline.
This chair is amazing. And it’s a gift that will deliver day after day, after day 🪑🪑🪑
WILLOW PLANT SENSOR
‘Let Your Plants Do The Talking’
I, along with many other women I know, have gone a little bit ‘houseplant excessive’ these last few years. I’m sure you know someone too? This gift idea is just for them – a Starter Pack from Plant with Willow (£34.99). It consists of a sensor, wifi-enabled hub, and charging cable; you use an app on your mobile to tell the sensor what houseplant it is monitoring, and then you get sent plant demands! If it needs more, or less, water – it tells you. Room conditions too dark/too light – it tells you. Humidity? It’ll advise you on what you need to do. Basically it’s a plant doctor. Most importantly, no more ill-looking plants to feel guilty about!
BABOLAT SHADOW TOUR 5 WOMENS BADMINTON SHOES FROM BADMINTONHQ
‘Engineered for Speed and Agility’
Racket sports are as popular now as they’ve ever been, especially badminton – perhaps because of the UK’s medal success at Olympics etc? For those who play badminton, good footwear on a badminton court is as important as the right racket. You need them to be light, grippy, yet not squeaky when you put the brakes on. These Babolat Shadow Tour 5 (£124.99) trainers from BadmintonHQ are super comfy, lovely and light, and very stylish.
Features that make them stand out include Michelin soles offering the ideal balance of grip and durability across all types of indoor courts. The shoes are expertly sculpted for movement with technology that stabilises the foot while boosting both performance and comfort. Its curved design, combined with an EVA midsole, allows you to transition from defence to attack in an instant. And powerstraps secure your foot in place, offering reliable support through every movement. These trainers will most certainly help bring your A game to the court!
ROWOOD DIY 3D PUZZLE: WOODEN BLOOM BOX
‘No Need for Water or Sunlight!’
It’s lovely to receive cut flowers as a gift. But let’s be honest, they rarely last long – not the really exotic blooms anyway. This is a really great, and innovative, alternative. Instead of visiting the florist, why not send a Wooden Bloom Box 3D Puzzle Kit (£46.99) from Rolife, where you can build your own forever flowers!? The whole display comes flatpacked with great instructions that are easy to follow. You simply pop out the pieces you are instructed to, and slot them together. The finished kit looks really special! And apart from a light dusting occasionally, it will last forever.
ARRAN SENSE OF SCOTLAND: GLEN ROSA BODY CARE GIFT SET
‘Warm. Sweet. Delicate’
We love Arran Sense of Scotland, and Glen Rosa is one of our favourite ranges. This Glen Rosa Body Care Gift Set (£34.00) consist of bath and shower gel and body lotion. Its fragrance combines honeyed fig with ylang ylang and crushed green leaves.
It comes beautifully presented in a fully recyclable gift box. It’s a real treat and a fabulous gift this Christmas.
SAVIOR HEAT HEATED LIGHTWEIGHT GLOVES
‘Warmth is More than Heat:
It Brings Trust, Courage, and People Together’
This is a gift that will just keep on giving. Picture this … Saturday afternoon mum duty, watching your child kicking or carrying a ball up and down a muddy pitch. You’re freezing cold, possibly soaking wet. You want to check your phone but that would mean taking your hands out of your pockets and removing your gloves – it’s not worth it. Yet, what if you had been gifted some amazing lightweight gloves that were heated and that had touchscreen pads on the fingers? Introducing the Savior Heated Lightweight Gloves ($149.99) from Savior Heat – a total game changer for pitchside mums, keeping hands lovely and toasty.
Even if you’re not a ‘soccer mom’ … dog walking, rambling, shopping the winter sales – gloves that keep your hands warm will always be a fantastic gift.
PURDY & FIGG CULT CLASSIC CHRISTMAS SET
‘One Naturally Powerful Formula That Does It All’
Purdy & Figg are a favourite brand in the PackThePJs family. Not only does their Counter Clean do a fabulous cleaning job, but their fragrances last for ages, and the scents are really nice – not sweet or sickly like some you can buy. The ingredients are plant-based; the scents are pure essential oils – there are no nasty toxic chemicals (nor plastics).
All of their blends are fantastic, but the limited edition Frankincense & Myrrh, which comes as part of their Christmas Set (£52.00) is Christmas in a bottle! Spray your kitchen surfaces with it, and I swear Santa will walk through the door thinking he’s arrived home! It’s amazing! This is a gift you’ll want for your own home!
FUPPYS CROCHET KITS
‘Kits Designed for Complete Beginners’
I have never been able to sew, knit, or crochet. I bought a sewing machine once. Never used it – wouldn’t know how. Over the years, generations of family and friends have tried to bring out my ‘cloth and wool creativity’ … all failed. And then I discovered Fuppys. Cute little amigurumi crochet kits that are designed for complete beginners. If you read the reviews, total crochet novices are creating characters that are near-identical to the original image – can this be true?
The kits are pre-started and there is step-by-step video guidance along the way to creating Nala the Whale (£19.80), Kayle the Koala (£19.80), Maple the Fox (£19.80), and Smoki the Dragon (£19.80) – my favourite characters.
So let’s see if miracles can happen and we can create these companions when we sit down as a family over Christmas! These kits are EVERYWHERE this year – would make excellent stocking fillers for family and friends …
TERRYS FABRICS: NOEL TUFTED CUSHION
‘Bring the Holiday Season to Life’
Festive cushions … we all love them, don’t we?! You can always tell when the festivities are approaching, as the Christmas tree goes up and the regular cushions are swapped out for the festive ones! We love this Evans Litchfield Noel Tufted Cushion (£28.00) from Terrys Fabrics – it is bright, matches our new decor, and make us smile. It is also superbly made – plenty of stuffing inside the 45cm x 45cm cover.
We might switch out our cushions this weekend … Too early?!
LONELY PLANET: THE MEDITERRANEAN
‘Dive into the Stories and Secrets of this Enchanting Region’
The Mediterranean is so deliciously close for us to reach from the UK. Every day airlines fly from most UK airports to destinations throughout the Mediterranean. When you need a session in the sun, the Mediterranean is within easy reach. And that is why so many of us visit every year. Lonely Planet’s The Mediterranean (£37.50) is a coffee table book full of inspiration and dreams. It takes you on an odyssey around the coast of the Mediterranean, covering more than 30 cities and 15 must-do road trips. This book is pure wanderlust with beautiful photographs and illustrations. I guarantee you’ll be planning a trip within 2 minutes of turning the first page!
HANGING GARDEN CHAIR FROM VON HAUS
‘The Relaxation of a Hammock with the Comforts of an Armchair’
Picture this … warm sunny days, the only sounds being the birds around you. You in the garden, lounging in your hanging chair, getting stuck in to the latest paperback bestseller (or the Mediterranean book above!), maybe with a cheeky glass of something nice (or a cuppa). Who wouldn’t want this? Pure relaxation. Total comfort. Utterly chilling … all good stuff! Not everyone has an established tree in their garden with a suitable branch from which to suspend a hanging garden chair (£29.99) from Von Haus, so they can also be attached to strong garden installations, like a pergola, or even a dedicated stand. The chair comes with suspension hooks and attachments and it is suitable for up to 110kg in weight. Turn a corner of your garden into a chill out area you can escape to. How perfect is that?
NOURISHED 3D-PRINTED NUTRIENT STACKS
‘Revolutionising the Nutrition Industry: One Stack at a Time’
For me it’s probably an age thing, but I found myself rattling with the number of vitamins and supplements I took each day! I got bored with the tablets and capsules and switched over to gummies. Now it’s more like some sweeties treats at bedtime! I take three different vitamins and minerals daily, but I should take more – but I don’t want my bedside table to start resembling a pharmacy …
Vitamin and mineral supplement requirements vary person to person – there’s no one solution for all. Oh yes there is! There is now anyway. As well as having pre-built stacks to cover specific needs (like an energy boost or immune boost etc) Nourished (£37.99/mth) 3D print [yes, you heard right] layers of nutrients into a gummy stack that has been personally determined by a quiz you will have filled in. Each of the seven layers is picked because collectively they will help you achieve the health you are aiming for. The quiz takes just two minutes: I did it, stating that I am hoping to achieve better sleep and have more energy. I was then presented with a personalised gummy stack that contains inositol, tart cherry, B12, Vit. C, selenium and BPL1. This single gummy basically replaces the individual bottles on my bedside table.
I have just tried one of their Life Stacks for Energy – it tastes pleasant. They are sugar free and vegan/vegetarian friendly. And all packaging is plastic free. This is the future of healthcare. It’s personalised to your specific needs and does away with all the individual supplement pots. The Nourished range is growing all the time – you should definitely check them out.
L’OCCITANE ALMOND OIL COLLECTION
‘A Luxurious Almond Set Designed to Pamper your Skin’
L’Occitane’s almond oil products are my go-to pamper product when I fancy a decadent shower. The Shower Oil leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and nourished. This Almond Oil Collection (£62.00) consists of 250ml award-winning Almond Shower Oil and 100ml Almond Supple Skin Oil. Sweet almond oil is rich in fatty acids and omega 9 and in these products the almonds are sustainably sourced from Provence and the Mediterranean basin.
This gift is a real treat for your skin.
ELEGANT HARMONY HOME REED DIFFUSER FROM AIRY FRAGRANCES
‘As Refined as Kyoto at Dawn, Silk Light, Steeped Calm, and the Golden Bloom of Osmanthus’
This is the time of year when we either fill our homes with the lovely aromas from diffusers or candles, or we gift them to family and friends. This lovely Elegant Harmony reed diffuser from Airy Fragrances (£43.00) is a real treat for yourself, or for others.
The presentation box contains 1 Airy Fragrances–designed glass bottle, 1 x 180ml fragrance oil, crafted in Japan, and 1 set of 5 premium diffuser reeds. Each 180ml diffuser typically lasts 2–4 months.
This Elegant Harmony fragrance opens with the clarity of white tea and golden osmanthus, unfolding into damask rose and soft iris. The scent settles into a graceful base of jasmine, musk, and a whisper of vanilla, airy, floral, and composed like a breath drawn in a quiet garden. What’s not to love?
