Happy December!

It feels like this month is absolutely flying by already. I’m slightly late getting this years Christmas gift guide up. However, I wanted to give you some inspiration in case you are feeling stuck. Before I get onto the gift guide, I just wanted to mention that I’m doing Vlogmas over on my YouTube channel. With a new video up every day for you to enjoy, I’d love to reach my goal of 200 subscribers by Christmas. Its entirely free and there’s no pressure to watch every video I upload.

Onto today’s gift guide. We all have that one person we struggle to buy for every year, so I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration…

The Flame Game Candle Company

First up in my Christmas Guide 2022 is The Flame Game Candle Company, ran by fellow blogger & friend Ellie. Whether it’s candles, wax melts or reed diffusers, there is something for everyone. I’m in love with so many of the scents currently on offer, they won’t disappoint.

CityStack

We all know that the pandemic hit businesses, especially pubs so hard. Now with the cost of living crisis, that struggle is going to continue. Personally, I love nothing more than sitting in a pub with friends and having a good catch up. This is where CityStack comes in as the perfect gift. It consists of a £20 stack of coasters that allows you to get £100 worth of food & drinks at ten great independent pubs across London. CityStack allows you to support independent pubs whilst still saving yourself money too.

So how does it work? When it’s time to pay at the pub, you simply give the coaster to the member of staff in exchange for a £10 discount on your bill. The great news is this discount is available on any item on the menu, at any time.

Use code KELLYDIANE at the checkout to benefit from free shipping on your first order. Valid until Christmas only.

Earthy Nail Polish

It wouldn’t be one of my gift guides without something beauty related and I can’t wait to share this next item with you. In fact, I’m even writing a review which will be live next week so keep an eye out for that.

Introducing the award winning Earthy nail polish. As well as polish, they also do at home treatments too. The great news is they are all made from natural ingredients and are vegan and cruelty free. The bamboo caps not only highly sustainable, but look super stylish too.

One4all Gift Card

I know some people believe that there isn’t much thought in giving gift cards at Christmas. However, with the cost of everything on the rise, we are going to have less money to treat ourselves. Therefore, a gift card can be the perfect opportunity to let someone buy something for themselves. I’ve picked One4all because you can literally choose from hundreds of retailers. I received one last Christmas and was able to split it between several shops. There is nothing worse than having a gift card for a shop that you can’t find anything you want to buy.

Other suggestions

I wanted to keep this post quite short this year because there are so many gift guides out there. However I have worked with some incredible brands this year that I think would make great gifts for loved ones. Below you will find links to the posts I included them in for inspiration.

I hope that my Christmas Gift Guide 2022 has given you some inspiration for gift ideas this Christmas. One last thing before I go. Christmas is about so much more than gifts. It can be about whatever you want it to be, whether that’s friends, family, cosy home time… anything. If you are reading this and are struggling to afford gifts, please don’t put that pressure on yourself. Definitely do not put yourself in debt just to give somebody a gift. Instead, gift loved ones your time. Maybe make a voucher for a cuppa round yours or even a film night. You don’t have to spend the big bucks to make Christmas special. At this time of year I’m always reminded of the saying that those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
