Gifts For Her
For sisters, aunts and girlfriends, one can’t go wrong with the beautiful and unique Partridge Jewellery Tree (£19.95) that will transform any tangled bundle of necklaces into a fun dressing table feature. Or for those who love colour and flowers, the Cath Kidston Handbag Make-up Case (£9.95) and Wash Bag (£17.95) are ideal. And any domestic goddess will cherish the Homemade: Gorgeous Things to Make with Love (£19.95) and Yummy Mummy Aprons (£18.95) or even the Pink Spotty Frying Pan (£9.95).

Gifts For Him
If struggling to stay away from socks and ties when buying for a brother, dad or son then think gadgets – men love gadgets! How about a Digital Wine Thermometer (£19.95) Battery Operated Corkscrew (£17.95) for the ‘wanna be’ sommelier or the Bottle Stop Combination Lock (£12.95) for those keen to keep tabs on the families’ wine consumption! The NASA Space Pen (£17.95) that writes in all conditions whether icy, greasy or upside down will make all men feel like astronauts!

Competitive spirits have much to choose from. The Hole in One Garden Golf Practice (£14.95) and Hole in One Mug (£9.95) will keep the golfers happy while Man Bites Dog: Newspaper Headline Game (£9.95) and The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Card Game (£9.95) are ideal for the sofa sportsman. Or how about i-Wine (£16.95) – a great game of ‘guess the bottle’ that will separate the wine buff from wine buffoon!

And what about for those who seem to have everything? The Ceramic Note Pad (£10.95) will surely please the most eco-aware of friends, while the Cath Kidston Ticket Holder (£5.95) will add a touch of class to anyone’s railcard.  The elegant Heart Bookmark (£4.95) or Bookmark Photo Frame (£13.95) will delight any bookworm while the beautiful Lingerie and Shoe Bags (£12.95 each) can make packing so much more fun.  

For those unique gifts for under £10 how about the Card Curve Clutter Curer  (£6.95) or ‘delicious’ Cupcake Notecard & Recipe Tin (£9.95)?  Or who wouldn’t want a Year of Hearts Soaps (£8.95) or an ingenious Coloured Knife (£5.95) that effortlessly slices through the most stubborn of fruits!
