Affordable and Luxury Gift Guide

Welcome to my 2025 affordable and Luxury Gift guide.  I am posting slightly later this year as we have been on holiday and so this is helping me get into the festive spirit.  This year, I have decided to blend together my affordable and luxury gift guides instead of doing them separately.  This is mainly to do with time, but also because the items I choose are actually very similar, so it might be far easier for people to read them together and then depending on their budgets they can pick or be inspired by either of the items I have suggested.  I have tried to keep the affordable items around the £25 mark or under and the Luxury items, most are £100 and under, but there are a few around the £300 mark.  I also haven't done separate ones for Men as many of the items I have listed are unisex.  If these items are not to your taste, then I hope the idea has just inspired you in the right direction to start your own research of items you like.  If you would like more ideas, then please go back and look at my previous years gift guides as I have been doing this for about 5 years.


1) Fragrance

Fragrance is very personal, but if you know the person you are gifting for well, it can be a really good one.  These are some of my favourite top picks, but sometimes the easiest thing to do is buy a replacement for their favourite fragrances that might be running super low or has just run out.  These M&S fragrances were a game changer for me this year as they smell divine and they last all day.  They are the perfect everyday fragrances when you don't want to use your expensive ones all the time for daily wear.




2) Candles

I was gifted this Wild race candle last year and I have been obsessed ever since and bought it again many times in different scents.  The smell pay off is incredible.  If you're looking for a more luxury candle that will look beautiful in the home, then how beautiful does this Holland Cooper candle look?




3) Beauty gift sets

I would love to receive both of these beauty gift sets as they are both very good brands.  The Caudalie one is a very good price point, but if you are wanting to gift someone something they might not buy themselves as it's a bit more pricey, then this Sunday Riley gift set is perfect.




4) Lego

I personally have never got into the Lego hype, but I know so many people who have and they are doing some very cool designs.  This Japanese postcard is very cool and would look cute on a book shelf and then how incredible is this Harry Potter Diagon Alley?? You can also get Hogwarts and the home Alone house and many other very cool things to build.




5) Tumbler and drink duo

This is a very simple idea, but one that is a very good idea.  This Shark tumbler is a very cool design and you can add any drink to it depending on your budget, whether it's a bottle of wine or an expensive whisky, it depends on your budget and the person you are buying for.



6) Slippers

I feel like everyone wears their slippers through the ground all year and rely on a new pair for Christmas, I know I do!!  I think the Next or M&S versions of the Uggs are so good, but if you are an absolute UGG fan, then they are a great gifting option.




7) PJs

There's nothing cosier than receiving pyjamas on Christmas day and these H&M's ones are so comfortable and at such a good price.  These Chelsea Peers ones are satin and so feel super luxe with such a cute design, making you feel lady of the manor when you wear them.




8) Takeout tumbler

I love both of these designs and there's actually only £10 between these two, so it's more about the taste of the person you're buying for.  These are perfect for commuting to the office or on long road trips.  They're also the cutest little accessory and very instagrammable.




9) Earrings

Every girl loves to receive jewellery as a gift and these are a slight nod to festive, but can also be worn all year round.  The below earrings are from Raven James, which is Fleur de Force's jewellery brand that I am obsessed with and I now own a lot from.  I love the nod to Vintage that she combines within her designs.




10) Scarves

Christmas is the perfect time to receive a scarf before the colder Winter month of January begins and these designs are just classic.  I love this M&S mens one, I would wear this one over my brown coats for  a tonal look.  If you're looking to get something more luxury and with a label then this Burberry scarf is beautiful and because it's reversible, it's more wearable.




11) Face masks

My last gift idea is a face mask, the below current body LED Face mask is highly talked about and is a forever face mask that you can use five times a week if you like for maximum results.  It's a proper treat, but one that should last years.  If you're looking for something not quiet as expensive or even you're looking for some quiet time out, which is sometimes what going to a Spa gives that these face masks can't, then find a local spa and book a facial.  My local one does facials for £60 and I think that's a great price point.
