Whether it’s parents, grandparents, sisters, aunties, uncles or boyfriends you’ve got to buy for, the prospect of having to buy gifts to suit EVERYONE is a slightly daunting one to say the least – so to save you the hassle, we’ve come up with the ultimate Christmas gift guide, with ideas for stocking fillers, gifts that won’t break the bank and even a couple of treats for yourself!

FOR HER:

Best friends:

If your best friend is a bit of a cocktail o’holic then you can’t do much better than a mini cocktail set, featuring not only the recipes behind some of the classics, but the mini versions of the flavourings too. With coconut syrup for the perfect Pina Colada and Passion Fruit for a juicy martini, I’m sure you’ll inspire a few new concoctions – of which you might even be invited round to try! £6.99 from Lakeland.co.uk

You can’t ever go wrong with a spot of pampering – and where better to choose your products than Lush? With an assortment of gift sizes to suit all budgets, they offer secret santa style presents – and mammoth gift boxes with enough pampering products to last a year. If you’re after a small treat, opt for the ‘Joy to the World’ giftset, which includes the vegan friendly dream cream body lotion and the snowcake soap. To treat your best friend a little more, go for the ‘First Snow’ set, beautifully packaged in a blue and white snowflake box, containing seven deliciously scented goodies to indulge in. £8.50 for Joy, £36.95 for First Snow from Lush.co.uk.

We’ve all got a best friend with a sweet tooth, but if you’d prefer to give them something prettier than your average chocolate bar, Pandora Bell has the answer.

Little girls: If the little girl you know is an aspiring beauty queen, with an interest in make-up to rival yours, then the Forest Friends trio of lip balms is an ideal present to keep both the parents and the child happy. With cute quirky packaging and a gentle pigment, Flossie Fox’s set contains a Strawberry, Cherry and Blueberry flavour. £5 from Tesco.com If fantastical creatures is higher on the agenda for the little girl you know – My Magical Mermaid, with a lifelike swooshy tail activated by placing her in water, is definitely your best bet.
