amomentwithfranca · 11 November 2021 · 13 Comments

If you are hoping to get more organised this year with your Christmas gifts, then this is now the perfect time to start looking for new gifts ideas. Finding the perfect gift for the special lady in your life (mum, daughter, sister, niece, friend, girlfriend, etc) is definitely hard as there are so many amazing products out there to choose from.

Table of Contents

  • Silver Emerald Earrings from Lily Blanche Jewellery (£105.00)
  • FitTrack Scale (£147.50)
  • A Flower Subscription
  • Moonfleck Studio Handmade Home Decor
  • Nixplay
  • Wentworth Wooden Puzzles
  • Charlotte Rhys
  • Me To You
  • Balmonds Skincare Products
  • Diptyque Baies Scented Candle

See below a list of some lovely products that I have tried and liked so I am hoping you like them too! There is a little bit of everything in this list, so you can hopefully find the right present for her.

Silver Emerald Earrings from Lily Blanche Jewellery (£105.00)

I love jewellery and there is nothing more special than giving a piece as a present. I recently received a pair of gorgeous Silver Emerald Earrings from Lily Blanche Jewellery. These gorgeous sterling silver hoop earrings feature a real emerald gemstone at their centre, making them the perfect personalised gift for Christmas. The gemstones are interchangeable so you can add additional stones for a truly versatile look.

The emerald gemstone symbolises good fortune, happiness and luck. I am so excited because now I can wear them with my Emerald Charm Necklace to complete the look. Emerald is my birthstone which makes these jewellery pieces extra special as you can choose the birthstone of the person that you are giving these earrings and you will make the most meaningful present for her.  I am sure she would absolutely love them.

I also love how Lily Blanche wrap their jewellery. They always arrive impeccable wrapped with a beautiful scent! They are presented in a ribbon-tied gift box with a branded polish cloth. It is lovely! Check out this Instagram Highlight where I am wearing the earrings. This way you can see how beautiful they are!

I am so happy to tell you that I have a discount code for you. If you use FRANCA10 at checkout, you will get 10% off on their website. Happy shopping!

FitTrack Scale (£147.50)

If you are looking for a present for someone that is in the journey of getting fitter and healthier, then this is the perfect gift for her. FitTrack is a smart scale that analyses your body completely. It connects to a free app via Bluetooth which is great to help you understand your health even more. ⁣

FitTrack uses advanced Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. When you stand on a FitTrack monitor, a very low, safe electrical signal is sent from four metal electrodes through your feet to your legs and abdomen. The electrical signal passes quickly through water that is present in hydrated muscle tissue but meets resistance when it hits fat tissue. This resistance, known as impedance, is measured and input into scientifically validated FitTrack equations to calculate body composition measurements. Body composition measurements are provided in under 20 seconds.

A Flower Subscription

I love flowers so much! They really make me happy and brighten up my day! For me a Flower Subscription is one the best presents I can get. My husband has given me this for the last couple of Christmases and I am always very excited when I open the envelope showing a year supply of flowers! I am sure this will be an amazing gift for any lady in your life!

Bloom & Wild Arrangement

There are many companies that provide this service but I will mention the ones I have used so you know they are reliable and have a great service. I will start with Bloom & Wild. They were the first letterbox flowers subscription that I have tried. They have been on the market for a few years now and I think they were actually one of the first ones that came up with the idea. They have a fantastic monthly flower subscription with different lengths 3, 6 or 12 months (£65.00, £125.00 or £235.00)

Then we have Freddie’s Flowers. I am registered with them, so I get flowers every time that I book them. They send them weekly but I can arrange when I want their calendar. At the moment I only receive them monthly. They also have an option to send a regular delivery for £25.00 a box. If you use discount code FFINSTA58 you will get 50% off of your first 2 boxes with them.

And the last Flower Subscription is LÖV. I came across them recently after they approached me to review their services. The arrangement they sent me was beautiful. They are a small business based in the UK but with a Scandinavian background as the founder is from Sweden. You can choose between their LÖV Premium Flower Subscription with a mix of all their coveted letterbox flowers or their Standard Flower Subscription that comes filled with seasonal blooms of LÖV’s florists choice.

Moonfleck Studio Handmade Home Decor

Coasters Set of 4 (£28.00)

A very good friend has started this lovely business called Moonfleck Studio and I am absolutely in love with her work. I love supporting small businesses too so I am delighted that I can feature her work in this list. I love handmade products and these ones are gorgeous.

Large Grey and White Terrazzo Tray (£30.00)

Masuma is a mother of three that crafts these home decor products by hand with love and passion. She uses a product called Jesmonite which is a combination of a reactive mineral base and a pure water-based acrylic resin. Although not strictly a ‘bio-resin, can be used as an environmentally friendly substitute for polyester GP resin. Although it is still a plastic/acrylic polymer, it is water-based and non-toxic to the user making it an ‘eco-resin.

Shell Trinket Dish (£12.00 each)

She started it as a hobby but then she loved making them so much that she has now ventured into a business. You can see all the products that she makes in her Etsy shop. She makes coasters, trays, tree decorations, candlesticks, oval trinket dishes, shell trinket dishes, centrepieces, among others. She is very talented, so I would love it if you can support a small business and make someone feel very special receiving one of her beautiful products.

Nixplay

I love our Nixplay frames at home. We have three now and they are on display in different places in my home. They have been the best thing we have had in years. We always get compliments as it has a smart and sleek look. I keep finding myself sitting down in the living room staring at the photos. It really makes me happy to bring all those beautiful memories back.

Their newest addition to their range is the Nixplay Smart Photo Frame 10″ Touchscreen(£179.99). It is a predecessor of their classic Nixplay Smart Photo Frame 10.1 and it has a touch panel, no remote control, and a new slick frame and stand design. You can share photos and 15-second video clips from your phone to the frame, privately, securely: from the iOS or Android app. You can also share playlists of content and create a private photo-sharing network for your family that is GDPR and CCPA compliant.

This will be a fantastic present for any special lady in your life. Their products are available online via their website as well as on Amazon.

Wentworth Wooden Puzzles

Christmas Eve Puzzle

Wentworth Wooden Puzzles are amazing! I have never felt so much joy making a puzzle! It is such a fantastic experience! I honestly cannot recommend these puzzles enough.  They are a UK company that designs and makes premium, sustainable wooden jigsaw puzzles predominantly for adults. Their puzzles have become increasingly popular in the last 10 years.

Village Pond Puzzle

They have a lovely Christmas collection at the moment and we were kindly sent a couple to try out, the Village Pond with 240 pc (£29.95) and Christmas Eve with 250 PC (£29.95). Even though their puzzles are meant for adults we did have a family session with them. The girls helped us at the start but as expected, it was not easy for them because their pieces have interesting and peculiar shapes, so they left it to Nick and me to finish and we didn’t stop until we put the last piece. It took us about an hour and a half to do it. We enjoyed every minute of it!

Their puzzles are made using wood from forests that are sustainably managed, and the box is made from recycled materials. With intricately hand-designed laser cut pieces including their charming ‘whimsies’, each puzzle is a delightful distraction from the stresses and strains of everyday life. These puzzles will make a fantastic present for Christmas.

Charlotte Rhys

Charlotte Rhys Hand & Body Lotion

I was so excited when I was contacted by Charlotte Rhys to try their products. I put together a list of Advent Calendars for Christmas 2021 and I included their Charlotte Rhys – Advent Calendar 2021. They sent me a couple of products from their range to try and I was absolutely in love with them straight away.

I received their Hand & Body Lotion (£22.00) Fragrance No 17 and their Eau De Toilette (£65.00) Fragrance Oud Blanche that smell absolutely gorgeous. Their Hand & Body Lotion is silky and light and features a highly effective, vegan formula that sinks in effortlessly. The chic packaging also features an integral pump mechanism, making it even easier to apply.  And their Eau De Toilette range integrates sustainable practices, vegan ingredients and deep respect for nature to deliver a world-class fragrance with feeling.

These are the perfect presents for someone that special lady in your life. Available online.

Me To You

Me To You is the brand behind the much-loved cute character Tatty Teddy. They create award-winning greeting cards, gifts, homeware, apparel and of course Tatty Teddy bears. All of their products start with a spark of innovation, and their artists create wonderful designs and illustrations that bring the Me to You brand to life. They make everything with love & care and hand-finish all their items for that extra special finish.

Pack of 3 Floral Notebook

They sent me a bundle of products from their popular Me To You collection. And they are all so lovely! I received a Pack of 3 Floral Notebooks filled with lined paper perfect for staying organised at home, work or at school. They come in three cute designs, one blue, one pink and one with a ditsy print. They can also be in your bag when on the go as they are size A5.

Tea For One Gift Set

They also sent a Tea For One Gift Set (£14.99). This set is perfect for anyone who loves to indulge in a proper cup of tea. It has hand-drawn illustrations inspired by the English countryside: “A good day always begins and ends with tea”. The set includes teapot, teacup, tea bags & biscuits. It is a really cute set.

Cosy Socks & Foot Cream Gift Set

We also received a lovely Cosy Socks & Foot Cream Gift Set (£8.99). It includes bed socks (women’s 4-7) & foot cream (75ml). The peppermint-scented foot cream is really nice and I love the super fluffy bed socks. They are very cosy.

You’re Lovely Cosmetic Pouch

Finally, we received a You’re Lovely Cosmetic Pouch *(£6.99). With a super cute combination of baby pink and gold, a little Tatty Teddy illustration and ‘You’re a whole lot of lovely’ across the front, this little pouch is the perfect daily pick me up. Perfect for storing all your make-up essentials at home or when you’re on the go.

All these gifs will make a lovely present for someone special. Available in stores, online and Amazon.

Balmonds Skincare Products

If you have a special person that suffers from skins conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis, etc, then Balmonds Skincare products are the perfect present for her. They are the experts in natural skincare for sensitive or eczema-prone skin.

I received a bundle of their most popular products to treat my skin. I have been trying them for weeks and I am so impressed. I use them regularly now and my skin has definitely improved. They sent me their Daily Moisturising Cream (£13.99) that is made with shea and various nourishing oils as well as a lighter Cooling Cream (£19.00), which is more of a lotion and contains essential oils, aloe and menthol.

They also sent a Dry Cracked Hands Set (£31.96) that includes an Intensive Hand Cream which is super nutritious and full of oils together with their Skinsalvation (£7.99) which is a rich, oil-based made with beeswax to lock in moisture. Finally, they sent their Intensive Facial Oil (£22.00), a gently conditioning oil made with the highest quality plant-based ingredients that Nourish and hydrate the delicate skin of the face. Any of these products or even a bundle will be an amazing present for someone special.

Diptyque Baies Scented Candle

I love Diptyque! Their candles smell amazing and the Diptyque Baies Scented Candle is my favourite! It combines the scent of blackcurrant leaves and Bulgarian rose.  It helps elevate the mood and set the scene. The candle is hand-made and has a burning time of 60 hours.

This would make a gorgeous Christmas present. Available online and Amazon.

I hope this gift list was useful for you. What products stood out the most to you?
