STOCKING FILLER GIFT IDEAS 🎄 Christmas 2023 presents on a budget

Hello guys, and welcome back to my channel. Welcome back to a brand new video. We've got a brand new gift guide today. If you've been following along my gift guides and enjoying them, then thank you so much. Today we have probably my favorite one to film and that is the stocking fillers. Secret Santa's budget up to more high end prices as well, but like smaller items that we can include within our stockings this year. Make sure you are set and ready for today's gift guide with your cozy hot chocolates, put your heated throws on, light your candles. Let's get cozy together and let's share with you quite the selection of gift ideas. Just a reminder to any friends and family members that are watching, please switch off now to avoid ruining the surprise because there are gifts in here that will be for you. So turn off now. That is your warning. Mom, I'm talking to you. Okay, where to begin with this one? I feel like I'm going to start with the obligatory and this is one of my favorite things to receive in a stocking. Scratch card. I feel like throughout all of my gift guide videos over the years, I tried to include different things each year, but every year I have to just mention a scratch card because I just think it's the most fun. So what we'll do is we'll give this one a scratch at the end of today's video and we'll see if it's a winner. I'm going to show you this first because this is something that I found in Boots in the clearance section. They had loads of them. So I wanted to mention it to you guys so that you can head to store, see if they've got any left. And it's from Face Halo. Now I've actually never used Face Halo before, but essentially they are, you can see in the back there, a makeup remover. This is the original one in white and these usually retail, I think for like seven pounds, something like that. They're in the clearance at Boots for £1.80. You can just add water to remove your makeup. Another stocking full of the Hinch lovers out there would also appreciate is a Zaflora. I know that this isn't like a typical, you've got to be into cleaning into your Mrs. Hinch to enjoy this, but I thought a nice festive addition. This one is the fur needle in amber. I'm going to also show you some socks. Now these ones are actually from Selfridges I got and they are from, I don't know, I do love, I don't know, socks. I've actually got a pair on today. I wear them to death. So it's always nice to get a little fresh new pair. And these ones were a lot thicker. So they're like a beige, car key ribbed with the Adenola branding on. And I thought I would recommend them as a good gift for like a nice brand. And also another brand that I feel like do really nice socks and cozy, soft boot socks, whatever kind of socks you want. These heat tech ones from Uniqlo I love as well. And these are just a standard gray pair. Uniqlo whilst I was there, I also picked up this beanie hat. So a nice cozy hat. This one I think would be a nice color for him in particular. And then what else? Oh, this is another one that I've actually got for, I thought would be a good male or female gift idea, but this is a bit more high end. It's from Penhaligon's, but it's a nice kind of nod to luxury without the super expensive price tag. And it also gives you the opportunity to test out their different fragrances. So this is their scent library. I believe it's about 28 pounds, something like that. I'll leave all of these items linked in the description box below for you, at least all of those that are available online. But yeah, this scent library, it comes in a beautiful box as well. Like a nice sage green with the gold trim, but it's got all of their like cult classics in there. How Fetty's in there, Duchess Rose, Impressa, Juniper, Sling, Luna, there's loads. And then you even get within the little booklet a description of what each of them are. I also swatted these, sticking with beauty, from a brand called Rehab. I don't know if anyone's seen these before, but I thought they were really cool, a really cool concept. It's a very aesthetically pleasing brand, which we're all about here on this channel. And this product in particular that they do are shampoo sheets. So essentially, perfect for like travel, especially. You get all of these different sheets within here. You have your shampoo sheet of which you wet your hair, tear open the sachet, remove the sheet that's within, and then you can actually drop this empty sachet on the floor and it dissolves, it disintegrates. And then you add water to the shampoo sheet, lather it up in your hands, massage well into the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and then for best results, follow with a conditioner. So I just thought that as a little stocking filler would be lovely. They are about 20 something pounds. So they're not, it's not like a super cheap brand, but it's definitely something a little bit different. So this is an Amazon find, and I will leave my Amazon storefront links below whereby you can shop loads of different gift ideas that I've got on there. But I thought this would be good again for a stocking filler. This is the larger size of the two. They do do a smaller one and they do different colors as well. But I went for this kind of beige neutral color. And essentially it's a water bottle, but because it's quite thin, it can easily slip within a handbag. So again, this one is a larger one. So if you've got a small handbag, then go for the smaller one. But yeah, I thought they were perfect and they look really nice too. I feel like regular viewers won't even need an explanation for these. Washing up gloves. These were a discovery through my mum purchasing one of these, pack of these for my stocking one year. And now every single year I need to ask for them. I buy them. They were on offer recently, so I stocked up. But they are the Lakeland Deluxe Moisturizing Gloves in white. They are the best washing up gloves. If you've tried them, you'll know what I mean. You don't get that horrible clammy sensation inside. They're really, really nice. And obviously they look nice too because they're white. I have some other yummy treats to share with you as ideas for stocking fillers. Also table gifts because these would be great on your tablescape. These little crackers from Hotel Chocolat, which I think you get solid milk, white and caramel milk. I think you get three chocolates in each as well as your hat and joke. They also do other gifting within the Christmas section of mix and match three for £24 of which you can get these small ones. You can individually wrap them and spread them amongst the people that you're buying for, or of course keep them for yourself. But I love these ones. These are the solid chocolate trees. You get some milk ones and some caramel milk ones as well. And then I love these as well. These little penguins, chocolate penguins. And then I've not tried these ones before I don't think. A dozen gingerbread men. Solid milk chocolate with a hint of gingerbread spice. Also for the nieces and for like the kids, just as a stocking filler. Everyone seems to rave about these still, the prime drinks. And then also I spotted this in TK Maxx of which I feel like TK Maxx have such a good selection of games, puzzles, toys, stocking fillers, table gift ideas, which I do have a few. This one in particular, £2.99 for the Hogwarts trivia quiz. Just something fun that you can do on Christmas day. So I feel like this would be a good table gift. I also saw these in TK Maxx and I thought again, they'd make a nice little stocking filler. For someone who loves home fragrance, they do these natural wooden incense sticks. So they're odor eliminating. You can pop them in gym bags and wardrobes, small spaces. £3.99 these ones are. Oh wow. Oh, that's quite strong actually. They do have a really nice aroma to them. Back to beauty now and a bit of luxury beauty with Charlotte Tilbury. They always do some lovely gifts for Christmas, for the festive season. And you can even get a selection and have them gift wrapped like so. I thought I would just show you a selection of some picks that I thought would make great little gifts. And also they come with these little hanging things. So you could even like hang them on your tree if you're that extra. This one is the pillow talk, push up lashes, mascara, mini mascara. These are all minis as well. So good ways to test out the makeup. This one is a little matte lipstick and a pillow talk. An absolute favourite of mine, the Charlotte Tilbury's magic cream. Have you seen, she's got a new like magic water cream, is it? I really want to try that. And then also this cryo recovery eye serum. Got added caffeine in there. It's like a really cooling applicator. So I'm actually going to keep that for myself and give that a try. I couldn't not include something from the white company. And I wanted to show you one of their oils and their new fragrance of Nordic woods. These are quite affordable as well. So they're 10 pounds and yes, they're small, but they are mighty. You only need a few little drops. And this new scent that they've got smells lovely. I am into manifestation and I love the manifest book by Roxy Nafusi. And she also does these little box of the mantras, which I thought again would make perfect little stocking filler gift idea. You've got in here, if I just show you a selection, a whole host of different mantra cards that you can choose from. You could just pick one every day and just kind of keep going back and keep remembering that mantra and utilize it throughout your day. Let's just pick one, shall we? I feel like let's all just utilize this for the rest of the day. However long you've got for the rest of the day. I let go of all expectation. You get 52 mantras in here to raise your vibrations. I don't know if these would make good stocking fillers or not, but I'm going to include them anyway because I bought them for myself recently and they are these sets of little books that I found on Amazon. There's a whole different range of little book of, so this one is the little book of psychology. Now I always wanted to study psychology at school, but the way that my other subjects fell into place meant that it wasn't within a section that I could choose. And in hindsight, it's one of those things that now that I've left school and yes, I went to uni, but I've not really used my degree or anything. In hindsight, if I could go back, I would have gone for the subjects that I actually wanted to study rather than the ones I felt I should, or I felt like I was best at, so therefore I'm just going to go with that. But anyway, hindsight's a wonderful thing. And also everything happens for a reason. Who knows if I'd be in this house with this roof above my head with Barney in my arms as a YouTuber, who knows? But anyway, because I didn't do psychology at school, I thought the little book of psychology would be a really interesting read, super easy to read as well. They're broken down into different chapters and you know, I just find it interesting how the brain works and I got that. I also got, I did do economics at A level, but I also got the little book of economics just to like refresh my memory. Do you know what I need? I need an accountancy one because being self employed, that is the part of this job and being self employed that I struggle with the most. And funnily enough, the irony, I nearly went for accountancy at university. I'm kind of glad I didn't because I don't, I think it would have been one of those subjects that goes in one ear and out the other. But anyway, another fun little festive treat find that I haven't seen before, so I think they might be new this year, but correct me if I'm wrong, Lint to do these crispy bites, which I think we are going to love. So I might pop those within Tom's stocking for me to show. Another one going straight in Tom's stocking is one of these espresso cups from Anna and Nina. These are just the cutest cups, ceramic cups. Now they do do big ones as well. I did have a mug that I was really looking forward to including within this video, but unfortunately it's not arrived yet. It's from Native. She's the gorgeous like small business, which I feel like is so popular now that the lead times are quite long. So I feel like it's one of those things that when she does a release, you need to get on it quick and order, put in your order and expect to arrive within, I think it's three to eight weeks, her delivery timeframe. So I ordered it a few weeks ago, so hopefully it should arrive soon. But yeah, in the meantime, I thought I'd recommend one of the Anna and Nina espresso mugs, which Tom in particular loves. We've got one that says good morning. This one says magic potion, which is kind of good for like Halloweeny almost. Anyway, and then we did have one that I bought for him that said, I love you. And I dropped it and smashed it and I was gutted. So I said I would buy a second one for him to have. I also got these from Amazon and they are a fun little find of these satin scrunchies. So you can get loads of different colors. I particularly love the champagne satin one, but just to have like round your wrist, but you might be able to see a little sneak peek there. It's actually got a zip in it. So it's like a hidden zip. So that if you were to maybe like be going on a workout or run or something, you can pop your key in there, poo bag if you've got a dog like me, and then you can either have it around your wrist, you could have your hair tied up with it, but it's got your bits in there. I just thought that was quite a genius little idea and good little stocking filler. Something that I have been wanting to try for the longest time and finally decided I'm going to buy one. I'm going to include it within a gift guide. Therefore, it's an excuse that I needed to make the purchase. But Laneige, is that the brand? Is that what it's called? Laneige. And they do these lip masks and they did this like special edition one, lip sleeping mask, but you can wear it any time of the day. To hydrate, nourish and soften. This particular scent I thought was perfect for the festive season. And it's in the scent Caramel Apple. How nice does that sound? Good for autumn actually. So you get a little pot with the lip product within, and then you do also get a little applicator, but I would probably just ditch that and just use my fingers to be honest with you. And then all the perfection of an untouched lip balm. But yeah, it's just essentially a balm that is meant to be really hydrating, really good and loads of different flavours as well. So we'll see how I get on with that. I will let you know. And if I end up purchasing more flavours, then you know that it was a two thumbs up from me. Another Amazon purchase that I thought would make a good gift idea, like stocking filler gift idea for someone especially within this industry or someone that works on their laptop and their phone all the time, blue light glasses. Now these are just like a plain clear purse specs, but I feel like they are, they don't really change anything. It helps protect your eyes from screens. And yeah, it doesn't change anything. It's just like wearing a clear pair of glasses. I also grabbed these from my hair drawer because these get so much use, these kind of hair clips. You can get some really nice colours and shades. Perfect for throwing your hair up in a clip, which honestly guys, apart from filming, I pretty much always have the hair on top of my head. And I always prefer if I can to use a clip over a bobble just because protecting your hair helps. I also got this pill box or these two sets of pill boxes, which I thought I would share with you. Again, my aesthetics, we love it here on this channel. The nice beige neutral packaging, got all the days of the week on and you've just got a little pill packet of which you can pop all your pills in, your vitamins. So yeah, I did actually work with MyVitamins in my last video, if you remember. So I have a discount code with them, Freya, which throughout the month of February, you can get some really good savings. So did I say the month of February? The month of November, Cyber month. For my vitamins lover already, maybe a little vitamins or pill packet would be a good little stocking filler gift idea. Also something I already own, which I grabbed and I thought I would include within this video is a pack of aesthetic, pastel, cute, girly highlighters. Just again, stationery lovers. I am a stationery lover. I love notebooks, diaries, things like that. And I thought this would be a lovely little addition to include. This one's better suited to the chef of the house. Tom gets so much use out of this. I thought I would include it as a little stocking filler gift idea. You can get these with all different range of prices to suit your budget. I think this one, I think I remember him saying it was about 15, 20 pounds, but I'll leave this exact one linked below, but it's essentially a probe thermometer for cooking. So yeah, we use that pretty much whenever we're cooking meat. This was a Tik Tok shop purchase and this was P for pizza. I keep saying this now ever since I bought it on my Tik Tok for, yeah, videos just keep popping up, but it's essentially a really easy letter game, kind of like the alphabet game. If ever anyone used to play that whereby you would have a letter and have a category kind of categories. I think that's another name for it. You have like a letter on each of the triangles and against that category, you just have to try and think of something. So for instance, fashion accessory and hate, she would maybe say hat and then you would win that card. But yeah, it's a really simple concept and just one that is really easy for throwing in a stocking because of the size of it. And also therefore having on the go traveling, really nice, easy game to take with you. I saw these in Next. I thought these were such a lovely idea. So first of all, packaging and everything, they look beautiful, but they are bath fizzers and shower steamers. So you've got three different fragrances. You've got smile, which is grapefruit and lemon, heart, which is lavender and geranium, and then soul, which is ylang and cedarwood. And you can either use them as a bath bomb, like a bath fizzer, or I quite like the idea because I'm more of a shower girl to use them as a shower steam. You can pop them at the bottom of your shower and it makes your whole shower smell amazing. And then they also do this bubble bath range, which again, as a gift together, maybe would look quite nice, but this bubble bath just comes in such a lovely packaging that you could just have that sat out on your bath tray. And it's in the scent lavender, geranium, and cedarwood. So I have a small business to recommend now. And this is from a brand called Natural Isle. She has the most beautiful packaging of which I had to keep it all packaged and share it with you. Oh my God, I've just smelt it. It smells so good. And they are little kind of hanging decorations. So let me just open them up. Goodness, they smell so good. So this one's a little hanging star. You can pop these on your tree, make your tree smell amazing. And you've got this one, so this orange, the citrus, the cinnamon, and then this one, winter wonderland, this scent is. Last shape is like a hollow circle. So yeah, beautiful products, beautiful brand. I also got a selection of goodies to share with you as gift ideas from By Matter. So these could obviously make for perfect stocking fillers individually, or you could do a little hamper together of them all. But for the hinge lover, the cleaner lover, the aesthetic lover as well, these are great. So this is my hero product from that brand. I just love this. I've used it before and it's just such a luxury kind of Febreze, but nice. Fabric freshener, which this one has eucalyptus and lavender, instantly cleans fabrics, removes odors, dry wash without water. So yeah, you can just spritz your fabrics with this. It's nice to just spritz over your bed in the morning. Smells so lovely. Honestly, amazing. Then they also just do these little, again, so aesthetic, the brand, but these little all purpose cloths, which you can use with this, which the spray comes separately, but this is the all purpose cleaner that they do. We've also got these, which I have to share with you, the purifying soap, lavender, bergamot and cedarwood. This is scented, great for gifting with maybe a little soap dish so that you can kind of like wrap them up together, give them as a little gift set. So yeah, that is everything that I have to share with you. So I feel like we should do the scratch card before we go. If you win a game and the prize is year for that game, win a hundred thousand pounds every month for a year. Now that would be nice. Match two doubles to win double the prize. Okay. It's not looking good guys. Wrong game. Nine of 24. Well, this would have been good as an advent calendar. We are not a winner. Not this time. I have to admit with scratch cards, we have always kind of got them as like table gifts, which is always a good fun for everyone to receive and say there's maybe six to eight of us. I would say at least two people usually win, but even if it's just like a couple of pounds, but yeah, it's always a fun little thing to do at the table. But that guys is going to go ahead and conclude my stocking filler gift guide. So I hope you guys have got some inspiration, some ideas. Of course, feel free to share amongst yourselves as well. Any other stocking filler gift ideas that you have in the comments below. Thank you so, so much for watching this video. I do have another B&M gift guide coming next. So stay tuned for that. Have a lovely rest of your day and I hope to see you all very, very soon in my next video. Bye guys.
