Buying an extra gift or two to keep in the cupboard is always a good plan in case you have forgotten someone or end up with an unexpected guest at Christmas, and a scented candle or tin of sweets will always go down well.

Wellness Gift Ideas You’ll Love

Gifting your loved ones with a treat that will help them to feel better all year round is a great way to show them how much you care, and we have a brilliant range of products for all ages. Our gift selection is designed so that you can do all your Christmas shopping in one place, so there’s no need to feel stressed out by the experience! Here are our top picks for wellness gifts this holiday season:

1. Skincare treats. There’s nothing like soft, smooth skin to make you feel fantastic and the Aveeno Daily Moisturising Gift Set is the perfect gift to nourish even the most sensitive skin. It contains a moisturising body wash and after-shower mist to enrich the skin and a moisturising hand cream and body lotion for self-care that feels luxurious every day. Presented in a beautiful gift box, this is an ideal gift for anyone who could do with a little TLC, and it’s a great Secret Santa gift, too. We also love the Green Angel range, a luxurious selection of products containing natural ingredients for a luxurious spa experience. The Green Angel Silent Night Gift Set is a great gift option, including a hand cream, a night cream and a room mist that will nourish and relax the skin and the soul.

2. Fragrance gifts. Perfume and Eau de Toilette make excellent gifts for the special friends and family members in your life. We love the selection from Jimmy Choo and we know you will too. Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum combines fruity, floral and woody notes to create a sophisticated, elegant scent, and Jimmy Choo Man Eau de Toilette spray is a luxury choice for men, with warm notes of honeydew melon and pink pepper, combined with patchouli and suede for a memorable, masculine impression.

3. Beautiful Jewellery. If you find it hard to buy for any of the women in your life, you can make the choice easier this year with these Tipperary Crystal Romi Rose Gold Pave Hoop and Stem Earrings. They’re a seamless blend of classic and contemporary design, featuring sparkling crystals that ooze sophistication and style. Jewellery is a great choice for anyone, and with earrings, there are no worries about getting the size wrong! We also have a beautiful selection of necklaces, pendants and bracelets, and we can help you to make the right choice for your loved one.

4. Gifts for the home. We have several beautiful and unique gift ideas for the home in our range, and we especially love the Lola Aroma Diffuser, Humidifier and Night Light. It’s a beautiful way to add fragrance to your home, gently diffusing aromatherapy oils into your environment, and it helps to purify the atmosphere and provides a gentle glow that is ideal in any room. This is a gift that will be extremely popular this year, and we know how delighted your recipients will be to receive it.

5. Quirky gift ideas. Finding a gift that really stands out can be a challenge, but this fabulous Tipperary Crystal Graham Knuttel Salt & Pepper set ticks all the boxes. For a relative who has everything or a friend who loves unique products, these artistic salt and pepper shakers are the ideal solution. They’ll make a great talking point and are the perfect combination of practicality and unique style.

6. Gifts for children. Buying gifts for children is often great fun, and this magical Irish Fairy Door is a popular idea for the kids in your family. Children will love the pink glitter design and will enjoy finding the perfect spot to welcome the fairies into their home or garden. Alternatively, there is a glow-in-the-dark fairy door, which brings an extra touch of excitement to the task of looking out for the little people!

7. Christmas decorations. Christmas decorations are a great Christmas gift, ideal for anyone who loves Christmas as they can enjoy them right away and then appreciate your thoughtful gift every Christmas for years to come. This Tipperary Crystal Porcelain Christmas Decorations set offers a selection of beautiful decorations created by Tipperary Crystal, and you’ll love the timeless pieces that are made to last. The Tipperary Crystal range also includes the perfect gold Christmas tree topper, so don’t forget your own tree!

8. Candle inspirations. Who doesn’t love a scented candle? One of the most popular gift ideas out there, a candle is a safe option for anyone you don’t know well, as well as being a luxurious gift for those you are closest to. You’ll love the Cracker Candle in Gingerbread, which can give you 30 hours of spicy gingerbread scent as it enhances your festive atmosphere. There are plenty of candles to choose from in our range, and we recommend choosing some for your seasonal displays and table decorations, too!

9. Sweet treats. Nothing says luxury at Christmas like a traditional tin of sweets, and we love this travel tin from Cavendish and Harvey as a stocking filler. It contains mixed fruit drops made with real fruit juice and dusted with icing sugar for a delicious Christmas treat, and your loved ones of all ages will appreciate your generosity. This is a particularly popular idea amongst grandparents and the older generations, reminding them of Christmases past and enabling them to share their special memories with the most important people in their lives.

10. Something special. When you’re looking for Christmas gifts, it can be hard to find the perfect option for everyone but this Tipperary Crystal Botanic Studio Fuchsia Mug is a special choice that combines practicality and art, and it’s perfect for a loved one or as a stylish Secret Santa gift. A mug is a wonderful gift as it will be so well used, and your recipient will often think of you as they enjoy their first cuppa of the day!

The gift of good health

Of course, you don’t have to be limited to the usual gift ideas and gifts that are a little more practical may be of even greater value to your recipients. You could choose to gift them a basket of toiletries that you know they will enjoy using but would not be able to buy for themselves, or a vitamin supplement they would love to try but will not splash out on. Alternatively, you might consider a gift voucher so that they can choose their own treats when they really need them, or an experience voucher for a massage or therapy treatment that will help them to relax completely.

If you’re on a tight budget, remember that it’s the thought that counts. Putting together a small selection of low-cost items with a promise to spend a pampering evening together is a wonderful way to show someone how much you value them without breaking the bank. We love the combination of nail files, toe separators, nail polish, or relaxing bath salts and a face mask. Time is a precious gift, especially in the modern world, and this is a really special gift idea for family members and friends.
