Some Christmas Gift Ideas For Her
Christmas is coming and will be with us in the blink of an eye. This means there has never been a better time to shop online, and to help small, independent businesses who offer something different from the usual High Street Fare.
This is my first gift guide this year and I am dedicating this one to the ladies in your life. Look out for more guides in the upcoming weeks.
A Personalised Watercolour From Turned Art
We all have family photographs that we consider our favourites. These can range from the first photograph of our children, a wedding photo, or just a lovely candid shot that evokes happy memories. Turned Art is a company that allows you to turn a treasured photograph into a piece of watercolour effect artwork in the form of individual prints, ready-to-hang framed prints, and canvases – the ultimate work of art.
These are the ultimate in personalised gifts, full of meaning, very personal, and designed and commisioned with the recipient totally in mind. Most of us already consider our family to be works of art, but being able to turn a beautiful memory into a watercolour painting is so special, and is certainly something to be treasured. Imagine giving grandmother a beautiful picture of her grandchildren, immortalised on canvas in watercolours, or giving a newly married bride a memory of her wedding day that she will love forever?
The watercolours are created by expert designers, who create each print by hand making each one unique.
All orders come with a free preview so you can iron out any changes before you get to the printing stage, ensuring this will be absolutely perfect.
Restore Essential Oil Blend From Made By Coopers
Made By Coopers is a modern apothecary brand crafting natural products to boost and balance mental and emotional wellbeing.
The brand was born after founder, and now apothecary expert Clare, found solace from her all-consuming anxiety disorders in essential oils and powerful plants. Clare’s journey took her to India and back, where she learnt her craft, and found her ‘cure’, and in that moment she wanted to share her knowledge with anyone she could – so Made By Coopers began.
Their products are both wonderful to use, packed full of essential oils that smell wonderful and are rich in nutrients, and are also skin friendly, without parabans, artificial colours and synthetic fragrances.
Check out their current range of products here.
Reusable Water Bottles From Ohelo
Stylish, reusable water bottles are a brilliant gift idea for so many people – those who travel to work, those who like to walk and exercise, and those who care for the planet and want to reduce their use of plastic. Ohelo bottles are not only beautiful and elegant, they also tick lots of other boxes for those who really care about the planet and want to support small business this year.
0helo is a family run business that designs their products here in the UK, makes their products ethically (2 pillar SMETA report for responsible manufacturing) and with safer materials. Their bottles offer to keep your drink cold for 12hrs or hot for 6 hours and are leakproof too.

A Mug From Pup Chic Boutique
Pup Chic Boutique is another lovely, family run business that specialises in gifts for dogs and dog lovers. They stock doggie accessories like harnesses, leads and bandanas for a totally stylish walking experience, but they also have some lovely items that would be perfect to gift to a doggie mama.
I love this gorgeous mug with it’s pretty colourway and cute mantra. This would be a lovely gift to someone who’s obsessed with their four legged friend. I would team this with delicious treats like Lenny and Larry’s holiday cookies for a gift that is a real comfort blanket on cold Winter’s days.
Pup Chic Boutique offers Worldwide shipping.
Perfect Leggings From Love Leggings
I have featured Love Leggings before, but am happy to feature them again. I love them, they are the only leggings I wear, and I bought some for my mom, and when I asked what she thought of them, she literally grabbed me in a bear hug and said they were the best leggings she had ever worn, which is a massive compliment as she wears them all the time.
Love Leggings are so comfortable, they actually move with you without losing their shape, they come in a wide range of sizes and leg lengths, and they are not see through. They have children’s sizes too, and also sports and maternity sizes too. In short they are a one stop shop for the best leggings around.
Wearing my Love Leggings

Luxury and ethical beauty is a real winner this year, and the Nereus London Madagascan pink pepper body wash is a winner on both counts. It smells divine, featuring fresh ginger essential oil that is intoxicating and uplifting.
Nereus London body washes are formulated with a blend of amino acids optimally blended to hydrate the skin and boost hyaluronic acid production, they contain 100% natural, organic fragrances. Their aluminium, 100% BPA free bottles are recyclable and their packaging is less than 1% plastic, making them kind to the planet too. In short, they look beautiful, smell beautiful and are kind to the planet – you can’t get much better than that!
The Positive Planner
If ever a gift was perfect for 2023, it is the positive planner. This combination of a diary, a journal and a motivational tool is an effective way to get all those events, dates, thoughts and feelings that are filling your head down on paper, and hopefully bring some organisation to your chaos!
This mindful gratitude journal that inspires you towards better mental wellbeing every day through the use of positive affirmations, daily reflections and mindfulness activities. It is an elegant, hardback book that is filled with colour and is unlike any other journal you’ve had – before or since.
