Whether it’s secret Santa or your significant other, gift buying can be extremely hard and exhausting. If you have a home lover, an interior design protégé, or a keen renovator on your Christmas list, here is a list of the top gifts and knick knackers for any home lover.
Let’s start off with the small items! Perfect for stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts.
Luxe-looking glassware is always a great gift! A timeless classic, the Luxe Coupe Glasses from Mr. Consistent are always a crowd favourite. Best for toasting a special occasion or simply enjoying a cocktail , this set of 4 coupe glasses are ideal for entertaining friends, family, or yourself too. With a cold cut rim and an elegant length of stem, your Mr. Consistent cocktail will become the ultimate Instagram moment. Why not add a touch of glamour? Why not buy a bottle of the best-selling Mr.Consistent Cosmopolitan mix to top it off?
Nothing screams Christmas more than the scent of candy canes and sugar plums. Glasshouse candles have just released their limited edition 2021 Christmas Candles, and who doesn’t love candles right? The two signature candles are:
Naughty & Nice – A brand new & deliciously zingy fragrance inspired by peppermint candy canes. No matter which of Santa’s lists you fall on this year – naughty or nice – this is one treat you can get into.
Night Before Christmas – The magic of Christmas supersized in our cult-favourite festive fragrance that every holiday lover should own.
Both are housed in an extremely festive red glass canister.
