Christmas Gifts for Her 2025: Festive Favourites I’ve Tried (and Truly Love)
If there’s one thing I love about Christmas, it’s finding gifts that feel thoughtful, beautiful and genuinely joyful. This year, I’ve been lucky enough to try some truly lovely products and experiences, and these are the gifts I’ll be happily recommending to friends, sisters, mums and fellow self-care lovers for Christmas 2025. I’ve put them in the perfect order – from cosy comfort to creative joy and finishing with design-led treats that lift the home.
The Cosy Comfort Gift: Warmies® Teletubbies™ Noo-Noo
There’s something incredibly comforting about a gift that encourages someone to slow down, and the Warmies® Teletubbies™ Noo-Noo is exactly that. I tried this myself and instantly understood the hype. After just a short time in the microwave, it becomes beautifully warm, gently weighted and lightly scented with relaxing French lavender.
On cold winter evenings, I love resting it on my shoulders or cuddling up on the sofa with it – it’s soothing without being overpowering. I also love that it can be popped in the freezer for cooling relief, which feels like such a thoughtful extra. It’s one of those gifts that makes you feel looked after, no matter your age.
A Calming Creative Escape: Tiny Drawings Colouring Book
This little book has become one of my favourite ways to unwind. Draw Tiny, Make Great Art by Anna Tjalsma-Pogorzelec (Licosmoss) is such a gentle invitation to slow your mind and get lost in tiny, intricate worlds.
I’ve spent quiet evenings drawing miniature mushrooms, flowers, cats and tiny houses, and it’s surprisingly calming. The step-by-step guides are so easy to follow, and I love that the pages are perforated so you can keep your finished artwork. If you’re buying for someone who loves mindfulness, journaling or gentle creativity, this is a beautiful, thoughtful gift.
A Flower-Lover’s Dream: Lower Norton Flower Farm Workshops & Events
Some of the best gifts aren’t “things” at all, but experiences, and Lower Norton Flower Farm is truly special. I adore what Alison has created – a space filled with passion, care and creativity.
I love the idea of gifting a workshop or event here because it feels so personal. Whether it’s flower arranging, seasonal workshops or a simple visit to gather your own blooms, it’s an experience that stays with you long after Christmas. The space feels magical, whimsical and grounding all at once, and giving someone the chance to step into that world feels like a gift of calm, beauty and inspiration.
A Touch of Art for the Home: Driftwood Designs Cushions
I have a real soft spot for anything that brings art into everyday life, and Driftwood Designs cushions do this beautifully. Featuring the work of Welsh artist Lizzie Spikes, these cushions feel like functional pieces of art.
I love how colourful, warm and characterful they are – they instantly make a sofa or bed feel more inviting and joyful. I also adore the story behind the brand, especially the way Lizzie and her team have made art accessible through everyday homewares. It’s a gorgeous gift for someone who loves interiors, colour, or simply wants their home to feel more “them”.
The Skincare Glow Gift: Origins Holiday 2025 “Under Our Tree” Collection
Skincare is always a wonderful Christmas gift, and the Origins “Under Our Tree” Holiday 2025 Collection is one I’ve honestly loved using myself.
The GinZing™ Glowing Essentials set is a standout. I’ve tried all three and can wholeheartedly say they make skin feel fresher, brighter and more awake – perfect for the busy festive season and winter tiredness. The scrub cleanser feels refreshing without being harsh, the rich cream is deeply comforting on dry winter skin, and the brightening eye cream is a little pot of magic.
Design-Led, Feel-Good Gifts: Block Design
Block Design is one of those brands that just “gets it” – beautiful objects that are useful, joyful and sustainable. I love their philosophy, and I’ve tried their pieces and can honestly say they bring personality into any space.
Their Colorlab collection is especially beautiful. The handcrafted glassware feels like art, whether it’s the Pablo watering can, candlesticks, vases or incense holders.
Two of my favourites for gifting:
- The Mini Bubble Glass Vase – small, playful and perfect even for tiny posies.
- Pablo Glass Watering Can. Abstract shapes and bold colours are combined to ensure your plants are watered in style.
I also love that Block is a certified B Corp and gives back to the planet, which makes the gift feel even more meaningful. You’re not just buying something pretty – you’re supporting a brand with real values.
Final Thoughts
What I love most about this year’s Christmas gifts for her is that they all have something in common: they bring comfort, creativity, calm and joy. I’ve genuinely tried and loved every one of these, and I’d be thrilled to receive any of them myself.
Whether you’re shopping for a mum, sister, best friend or treating yourself (because why not?), these are gifts that feel thoughtful, personal and full of festive heart – and for me, that’s what Christmas giving is all about.
