Hi all, my friend has had a tough year so I’d love to surprise her with a stocking or box of smallish gifts (up to £30 each) can you please help with ideas? I desperately need some inspo! Thank you
Her interests cooking/food, make up, skin care, true crime, history and candles

Beauty: Space masks, a lovely lipstick or balm. Sali Hughes' column in the guardian is great for inspiration

Kitchen gadget: ravioli stamps, a good garlic press, a foolproof corkscrew (brabantia do a good one)

Kate Summerscale books combine history with true crime

A global kitchen knife.

I have a number of comfort zone skincare products and they are great, space masks are a lovely treat, how about adult relaxing colouring books, nice socks (I love alpaca ones for winter) or bamboo cotton funky ones if she'd like that
A nice little set of earrings? I've got 2 sets from here and they are lovely, funky and cute without being over the top (I'm 40 though)

I would like a book, nice box of chocolate / Lindt and a small bottle if wine, possibly some nice hand cream and small candle if there was room left over.
I think that makes it all about her and rest and relaxation and should fit in a stocking.

Make up and skin care are both very tricky, but you can get her a gift card so that she would buy something she'll use and enjoy.
There are snack subscription boxes, you can get her a subscription to one of those.
Look into candle making kits or candle gift sets, these are always a hit among candle lovers.
You can also make a picture calendar with various historical figures and their most famous words for each month. Or maybe just one person she particularly likes, if you know about such.

Chanel nail polish. Under £30. Ballerina is a good ‘catch all’ shade. The lightest possible pink there is, very neutral. Or a beautiful red if she’s got a bit more sass about her.
