Sleigh bells ring, are you listening…?
It’s that time of year again. Time to see who’s been naughty or nice, who’s getting that lump of coal in their stocking and who’s getting some good old fashioned Santa lovin’.
Whilst you decide who’s made it on the nice list in your household, we’ve put together a little gift guide perfect for helping you choose some unique stocking fillers once you’ve made your final selection. These gifts are priced between £5-15 and are all sourced from small businesses, just like us. Christmas is the ideal time to support small and independent businesses, and being an Etsy seller ourselves, we’d love to share some of our favourite finds from the site, all while also helping to spread that Christmas joy.
As an added bonus, many of the ideas featured in this guide are suggestions for gifts that keep on giving… quite literally. These eco-friendly swaps for everyday wasteful items make the perfect stocking stuffers, and as a bonus, you’re saving the planet and supporting small businesses along the way. Nothing better than that!
Clean Face, Clean Mind
Why not check out Ellie and Kobe for handmade, reusable makeup pads and face cloths? These ecological pads are 100% bamboo and cotton terry towelling, meaning they’re super soft and great for sensitive skin. Not only are these good for the planet they’re also great for your complexion, so it’s a win-win, really!
Let’s Plant for the Future
And for our green-fingered friends out there, this thoughtful gift of Planting a Tree is perfect. For each gift purchase, Eco4U will plant a tree, and you will receive a souvenir tree cut-out as a cute reminder of the good you’ve done for the planet, too.
Hark the Herold, Angles Sing…
For your music-loving friends and family, why not get them a personalised key ring with their favourite song? Tiles Space creates personalised products, and by sending the seller your loved one’s favourite song, they’ll print a Spotify keyring, which will then be turned into a unique code engraved on a sleek and cool key ring that can be scanned and listened to at any time!
For the vinyl lovers out there, No Time Like The Gift has everything a record collector would want, including a ‘Now Playing’ wall-mounted vinyl record display stand, perfect for displaying your music-mad mate’s current record obsession.
All I want for Christmas is… stunning jewellery!
Why not add pop of colour to your stockings this year with some handmade ploy clay earrings from PepperYouStudio. This surprise pebble earing is made with offcuts to minimise wastage, and as a bonus, you’re guaranteed a unique pair, as so no two sets will be the same!
Or if silver is more your recipient’s style, then these tiny constellation silver earrings from Sliver Rain Silver are ideal. Check out her Etsy shop for even more stunning minimalistic earrings.
Join the Mince Pie Appreciation Society
Who doesn’t love a pin? Or even better, a festive pin? From Alphabet Bags, this collection of festive pins makes excellent additions to your stocking gifts. We love these Christmas designs – our favourite being the ‘Mince Pie Appreciation society’ and ‘Brussel Sprout Aficionado’ ones. They’re going straight into our basket! We also love these cute floral ones for a non-seasonal purchase, that would be just the gift to spice up a bag or lanyard all year round.
Chocolate from the heavens above.
We all love chocolate in our stockings, but why not make it personal with these chocolate bars from ChoclateHeels? You can customise each bar with the recipients’ names and choose from a delicious white or milk chocolate.
Go the whole hog with gifts from Lucy Maggie Designs
Now you may call us biased, but our collection of coasters would also make great stocking stuffers. Not only do we have the funniest Christmas coasters, including this ‘Santa Doesn’t like Dickheads’ design, we also have all-year-round coasters too.
And if you’re in need of some unique Christmas Cards, then baby, you’re most certainly in the right place. Our collection of witty and all-be-it-a-little-bit rude Christmas cards are all available on our website and Etsy and ready to brighten up some festive mantlepieces.
We hope this guide gave you a little Christmas inspiration. Make sure to follow us on Instagram, where we will continue the feel-good festivities with our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways!
