For my lovely friend who has had a very hard year. Want to get her something other than tithe usual bubble bath, smelliest, wine, chocs. She's had a shit of a year with a divorce, car been written off, bereavements, kids causing stress and she's not been feeling great for weeks. She's not a foodie or a cook so wouldn't appreciate food related gifts.
Any ideas or inspiration?!?

Nice snuggly wheat bag
Lovely soft winter scarf or gloves. Something she’d like but may not treat herself to with everything going on.
Im not a candle person but after my divorce I tried tried essential oils and candles to help me relax and I did feel they helped.

You can get some lovely new with tags scarves on Vinted at really low prices. I saw some lovely Next ones recently

bravotango · 05/11/2022 21:46

Something from Oliver Bonas, or a big candle (you can get good cheap ones in TkMaxx)

Velvet socks from M&S

Seconding the book and a bar of good chocolate suggestion.

Earrings?

I was given a secret santa from a random colleague I'd actually never met! I still wear the earrings she bought me 10yrs on. They are sparkly with about a 2cm drop, in a leaf shape but are casual enough for day wear and a bit of bling for the evening.

It’s hard to say as we don’t know her. Just think of something thoughtful and personal. They are always the best gifts. Do they like a certain animal, like reading, always feel the cold, feel hot, etc. then buy accordingly like a little care package. Maybe a book, hot chocolate, favourite biscuits and a book mark. Or some luxury socks and treats. Or a mug and coffee voucher.

Wine tasting kit. You get 6 wines in it to try and snacks and then do the wine tasting at home using their YouTube channel. They even do live tastings. There's a £10 gift voucher in the box too.

My referral code gets you (and me Smile) £20 off so you'd only need to pay for delivery at £3.99
