Christmas Gift Guide | Stocking Fillers for The Females


When it comes to Christmas, nothing gets me more excited than stockings. They bring nostalgia, fun, and little gifts that are easy to love. There are lots of great stocking fillers on offer this year, however my personal favourites are as follows...

Givenchy Holiday Collection Prisme Libre

For the makeup lovers who deserve a real treat in their stocking this year, I recommend the Givenchy Holiday Collection Prisme Libre (£44 John Lewis). The iconic Prisme Libre is a loose powder famous for delivering a gorgeous complexion. N°11 Sparkling Lilac, the new limited-edition colour, combines four shades of purple to create a fresh and glowing complexion. Boosted with mother-of-pearl, this universal shade evens out skin tone and provides a luminous, transparent finish designed to last six hours. Its soft, ultra-fine texture helps to achieve naturally enhanced skin, and its light-reflecting pigments ensure a radiant finish in any setting.

Poppy Cooks: The Food You Need Poppy O’Toole

For the Gen-Z foodies, I recommend Poppy Cooks: The Food You Need (£16.99 | Amazon). Described as the how-to cookbook for the modern generation, Poppy O'Toole's book is fresh and upbeat, putting life back into the kitchen and fun back into cooking. Poppy Cooks provides direct access to the skills Poppy’s learnt from fancy Michelin-starred restaurants, helping show readers how to cook great food at home.

The Head Plan Mirror Markers

For the millennials that love affirmations and positive thinking, The Head Plan Mirror Markers (£12 theheadplan.com) make for the perfect stocking filler. These colourful markers are perfect for writing mirror messages that remind you of your goals and your dreams. The Mirror Markers are designed for mirror work, a method of self-love that focuses on filling your subconscious with affirmations, to establish habitual ways of thinking and behaving that will transform your life and change the way you perceive yourself and the world around you. The pack includes five Mirror Markers in white, blue, purple, dark pink and baby pink. The pens can also be used on glass, Metal, Glossy Board, LED Boards, Plastic and Non- Porous Surfaces.

Hair Gain Nourishing Miracle Treatment Mask

For the hair lovers, you can't go wrong with the Hair Gain Miracle Treatment Mask (£14.50 cultbeauty.co.uk). Formulated with AnaGain, an ingredient derived from organic pea shoots, Hair Gain's best selling mask stimulates molecules within follicles to prolong the life cycle of each strand, creating thicker and stronger hair. In just ten minutes, this mask thickens, hydrates, repairs, and protects, to turn lacklustre lengths into gorgeous locks. Panthenol and betaine are also included to prevent damage, deliver shine, and reduce humidity-induced frizz.

Caravan Coffee Roasters Christmas Special

Caravan's Christmas Special is the perfect stocking filler for the coffee loving girls. 

The Christmas Special (£10.00 caravancoffeeroasters.co.uk) blends coffee from Colombia and Sumatra to create a deliciously smooth and merry mug. Tasting notes include ginger cake, maple syrup, and candied orange, with hints of mulling spice and sticky toffee pudding for an indulgent finish. The limited edition blend can be enjoyed as both filter or espresso and is available as beans or ground. It's pretty much guaranteed to be a cosy crowd-pleaser.

Hairslydz Scrunchiez

Every stocking should feature a hair scrunchie, but if you want to level-up your gift, you'll need a Hairslydz Scrunchiez. Brand new, beautifully-finished, and gorgeously oversized, these scrunchies are on-trend and universally loved. Available in either pure silk or faux leather, Hairslydz Scrunchiez (£13.48 hairslydz.co.uk) create the perfect pony tail, whether half-up or full, and are designed to stay in place whatever the texture of your hair. They are available in three covetable colours - cream, deep blue, or black, while faux leather comes in black or slate grey.

Secret Garden Rooted in Nature Gift Set

For the gin queens, the Secret Garden Rooted in Nature Gift Set (£29.95 secretgardendistillery.co.uk) makes for the perfect stocking filler. The set features two delicious gins - Christmas Gin that is naturally festive in flavour, and Wild Gin, a London Dry gin that is inspired by wild plants. All Secret Garden Gins are lovingly crafted using 100% natural ingredients. There are no added sugars, artificial colourings, flavourings, or additives.

Trish McEvoy No. 9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk Refillable Pen Spray

For fragrance lovers, I recommend the Trish McEvoy No. 9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk Refillable Pen Spray (£24 Liberty). This 6ml eau de toilette comes in a perfect compact spray pen that's ideal for girls that are always on-the-go. The spray pen can be also be reused by topping it up with any of your favourite scents. Fragrance No. 9 features top notes of blackberry buds, dark plum, and mandarin, heart notes of tiare flower, and osmanthus, and base notes of cashmere woods, crystallized vanilla, and velvet musk. It is a gorgeous long lasting scent that is guaranteed to be loved.


OPI's Infinite Shine Nail Polish Set

For the girls that are never without a mani, I recommending stuffing their stocking with the OPI Holiday 2021 Infinite Shine Nail Polish Set (£19.90 feelunique.com). This four piece high-shine shade set is guaranteed to deliver vibrant colours and a flawless finish, thanks to OPI's ProStay Technology. Shades include Alpine Snow, Bubble Bath, Big Apple Red, Malaga Wine, and are guaranteed to generate mass appeal. No shade will go unpainted, trust me.

MAC Tiny Tricks Mini Lipglass Trio

MAC's Tiny Tricks Mini Lipglass Trio (£25 ASOS) is a great stocking filler for the glam girls. Available in two shade sets, Cool or Warm, this limited edition trio creates a high-gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen for those that want to keep thing cool and casual. Each Lipglass can be worn on their own, over lip pencil or over lipstick. They are highly pigmented, ultra shiny, and formulated with jojoba oil to soften and condition the lips.

Friends Top Trumps Card Game

For the girl that loves games, the Top Trumps Friends Edition makes for a fun stocking filler. Top Trumps (£10 winningmoves.co.uk) is a fast-paced, super competitive card game that can be played anytime, anywhere, and with as many people as you like. The limited edition Friends pack contains all of the favourite episodes, from 'The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate' and 'The One With the Prom Video', to 'The One With All The Thanksgivings'. Challenge players to guess which episode is the funniest, craziest, or most shocking. The ultimate question, however, is which episode trumps them all?

Paul & Joe Bouquet de Noel Treatment Lipstick

You can never go wrong with gifting a lip balm and the Paul & Joe Bouquet de Noel Treatment Lipstick is one of the fanciest around. The super adorable cat-shaped lip treatment stick delivers sheer colour and plumpness to the lips. This Treatment Lipstick (£17 feelunique.com) also keeps the lips super soft, thanks to natural moisturising ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil and Orange Honey.

Zip Top Containers

A great stocking filler for any office girl is a Zip Top. These handy food containers stand up, stay open, and zip shut. They are pretty much the gift you didn't know you needed.

All containers are free of BPA, lead, PVC, and phthalates. Zip Top containers can also be put in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.

Aviela Shea Hand Butter

Hand creams make great stocking fillers as they're so essential during the harsh winter months. One of my favourites is the Aviela Shea Hand Butter (£16 aviela.co.uk). This creamy skin saviour is formulated with shea butter, cocoa butter, crambe deed, hemp seed, sunflower seed, rice bran and cedarwood oils, to moisturise and protect the skin, leaving hands silky smooth.

Biodegradable and compostable, the Konjac 6 Wave Bath Sponge (£11.99 Amazon) has been ergonomically designed with six waves to provide gentle exfoliation on a daily basis. It prevents ingrown hairs, preps the skin for shaving or waxing, and provides the ultimate cleansing experience.

Amaretto Candy Floss

Vegan, vegetarian, gluten, dairy and alcohol-free, the Ask Mummy & Daddy Amaretto Candy Floss (£5.95 askmummyanddaddy.com) is perfect stocking filler for any cocktail lover with a sweet tooth. Tasting exactly like ameretto, this fun yet sophisticated candy floss is made with real alcohol, which burns off in the confectionery process, resulting in an indulgent yet headache-free treat.
