Christmas will be on us in no time, it’s time for a christmas gift guide. So for me, getting my Christmas shopping organised and sorted early is key to me being able to enjoy those last few festive weeks in December on the lead up to the big day. We like to spend as much time as we can together as a family in December, making memories and enjoying lots of fun day trips and cozy nights watching Christmas movies together.
Making shopping for Christmas gifts as stress free as possible is a big part to me being able to properly sit back and relax in those last weeks when everyone else is stressfully trying to do last minute shopping trips. So I am hoping my Christmas gift guides (not just this years but also the ones I have done in the past) will help give you lots of great gift ideas for all the family, so you too can get a head start on your Christmas shopping and allow you to make the most of the festive season.
With all the restrictions and lockdowns in place this season I have done 100% of my Christmas shopping online and I am sure this is likely to be the case for many of you. So all items can be purchased online and I have included links to places they can be purchased to make it super simple. Just make sure to order items as early as possible to avoid postal delays!

Christmas Gift Guide for all the Family
Shinesty Family PJs
Family matching festive pyjamas are a must these days, and for the last 2 years we have loved our sets from Shinesty!! Last year we were all about ’50 shades of Santa’ but this year we were donning out ‘Christmas tree camp’. I love that they proceed fun bold prints for all the family (and some naughty prints for just the adults!!) If you follow our instagram you will have seem the featured lots in our stories as I tend to wear mine all year round as they are honestly the most comfortable thing I own.
New Mum and Baby Gifts
Aveeno Mum & Baby Gift Set
This would be a perfect gift for a new mum as it continues items for both her and baby to enjoy. A daily moisturiser for mum made from colloidal oatmeal which keeps skin moisturised for 24 hours, a daily baby moisturiser for delicate newborn skin, baby hair and body wash perfect for dry sensitive skin, and a beautiful soft teddy comforter. We are big fans of Aveeno in the Two Hearts household as both kids have sensitive skin and I love how soft aveeno leaves their skin and the mild creamy scent it has.
Peggie the Penguin Teether Toy from Bickiepegs
Have you ever seen a cuter teething toy? Peggie is the brand new teething toy from Bickiepegs. We found teething toys a god send once Elian’s teeth started cutting and we are just starting to hit that point with Effie also. Peggie is a perfect sensory toy and teether all in one, with multiple soft and hard ridged surfaces he is perfect for babies to chomp on when they need some gum relief. Thanks to its shape it is perfect for both front and back teeth and easy for little ones to grip on to. The safety clip and ribbon means it can be attached to clothing to help it from being lost when baby drops it but also means you have to clean it less as it wont be hitting the floor! Made from food grade BPA free silicon.
Llama Muslin Cloth from Little Wolves
One of the things I often tell new mum friends is ‘You can never have too many Muslin Cloths!’ Honestly I find them so useful and versatile. I actually kept one out when Elian was well past baby and toddler phase as you never know when they might be useful to grab. I always buy them as gifts for pregnant friends too. Plus you can buy them in such beautiful patterns now, just like this stunning llama print from Little Wolves. They have a great range of patterns and sizes too (the bigger the better in my book! Lol) Sure to be a gift that will be used again and again for months on end.
Natural Birthing Company New Mum Set
This lovely little set brings together 3 great products, developed by midwives and aromatherapists, for mums who are about to or have just given birth. The bottoms up spray is to help calm, sooth and provide cooling relief to your perineal area post birth. The Sleepy Mama pillow spray is designed to help relax and calm both body and mind when you need it the most when baby has arrived. And the Bosom Buddies breastfeeding oils support both body and mind with common breastfeeding problems to help provide instant comfort and hopefully easy your breastfeeding joinery so you can continue.
Toddle London Bamboo Kids Dinnerware Set
I am a fan of aesthetically pleasing kids products and not much of a fan of the over use of plastic. I found a lot of baby dinner sets were garish plastic so once Elian was older and using plates more I started leaning more towards Bamboo products. That is why I am a little in love with the beautiful pastel coloured bamboo dinnerware sets from Toddle London.This is the lovely Racoon set in soft pink and purple colours. The set consists of a cup, bowl and plate that are the perfect size for kids portions. Biodegradable, dishwasher safe (big plus point!!), BPA free and just so pretty. They also have a bear, fox and hedgehog design to choose from.
Amawrap Baby Carrier
You all know I’m a big fan of a wrap carrier, and if you’re looking for a higher budget gift for a new mum then a baby carrier is a great option that will be greatly received. I recently tested out this truly beautiful Amawrap baby sling carrier and totally fell in love with it. You can read up on my review of it here. It makes being out and about with a little one lots easier and can help you be hands free when you need it. Plus its just plain beautiful in the posy rosy fabric
Gifts For A Bit of Me Time
Tea Time Bookshop Monthly Book subscription
If you have a reader in the family to buy for why not get them something a little more special than just a book! The Tea Time Bookshop monthly bookclub subscription is a great gift for any avid reader. You can chose from a selection of different book options, crime, vintage, top 20 etc and you can chose the duration of the subscription from 1 month to 12 months. Each month they will be sent a book, an option of tea, coffee or hot chocolate, tasty biscuits and a bookmark the perfect combination of items for them to enjoy some me time.
Yardley Gift Set
Yardley are always great for beautifully packaged gift sets for all celebrations. I have been gifting them to the ladies in our family for a number of years now. You can chose from a great selection of traditional floral scents such as launder, English rose and blossom. Bath and body gift sets are always a safe winner on the gift front as they are practical and can be used by everyone. And who doesn’t love a little bit of pampering.
Leuchtturm Notebook and Parker Pen
A beautiful quality notebook and pen like this Leuchtturn 1917 notepad and Parker pen from Pen Heaven make a really great gift. Journalling has gained a huge amount of popularity over the last few years, whether in the daily diary sense, as a gratitude journal, bullet journal for keeping yourself organised or as a brain dump notepad and list maker. They are a versatile gift suited to so many people. As a blogger and a mum I tend to carry a notepad and pen with me at all times as you never know when you might need to jot something down, or make myself a to do list to keep focused and motivated throughout the day.
Toys and Games
Silly Sounds from Interplay
This super silly and fun party game is great for all the family. It’ll be the perfect addition to your games pile and will have you laughing so much your sides will hurt. Pop on a headband with a silly sound card, then try to make the silly sounds on the card and have your fellow players guess what you’re imitating.
Quick Link for Interplay
The fast paced word game where you compete to find the logical links between word and objects. You’ll have to fast to snap up words before the other players using your squeaky suction cup stick. And if you think another player makes debatable link, set off your squeaker and call them out on it! Great for building verbal and literacy skills in a fun way.

Great for kids 7 years + and all the family to enjoy. And perfect to play again and again with the ever changing and growing maze to navigate through.

A great STEM game to get children (and adults!) thinking logically and using analysis and reasoning skills to work out which doggy suspect committed the crime from the clues they are presented with. Advised age 8 but with 40 different levels ranging from beginner to expert it will keep challenging you again and again. (plus there is a cat crimes version if you’d rather a feline crime!)

Attach it to your keys, your purse, your bag or any item you wish to keep track of and the bluetooth enabled device makes everything findable through their lost and found network app. This is a tile pro intended to attach to larger items like bags but the tile range includes a smaller version for keys and personal items, a slim version for popping in wallets and laptop sleeves and even a stick on version for other devices. This technology is revolutionary and with a network across 195 countries and counting it is connecting millions of people daily.
Wizarding World Pin Badge
Hands up the Potter fans!! If you know a Potterhead I can guarantee they will love to receive one (or a set) of the new pin seekers pin badges from Wizarding World. This is a Ravenclaw Scarf pin badge but there are dozens of pins to collect from Harry Potters 4 houses and special addition badges featuring Hedwig, The Sorting Hat, Nearly Headless Nick and other iconic Harry Potter motifs.

Gifts for Foodies
Rubies Rubble Relish Gift Set
This set of festive relishes contains 3 tasty flavours; a Classic Apple, Pear and Fig and Chilli Onion Relish. But what is so great about Rubies Rubble is that most of the ingredients are items that would otherwise have been thrown away. They work closely with a number of farmers to use produce that supermarkets and other supplies reject due to simply being the wrong shape, size or with blemishes. Still great flavour just not aesthetically pleasing! So these are the perfect gift for friends and family who are trying to be more green and lower their waste.
Coco Fina Organic Chocolate and Hazelnut Spread
Like many other family we are partial to a bit of chocolate spread, but we all know its not the healthiest of things, but its a perfect sweet treat when you want something tasty. This Coco Fina spread is made with a blend of organic chocolate and hazelnut, and sweetened with unrefined low GI Coconut sugar to help make it that little but less naughty, but keep its lovely thick creamy taste and texture. Perfect on toast, in smoothies or for baking!
Mummy Meagz Vegan Chocolate
I have lots of friends who are vegan now and it is one of the fastest growing health movements in history. For some its the need to be dairy free and for others its for ethical reasons but whatever the reason for most one of the things they miss is good quality chocolate. The Mummy Meagz range is all vegan friendly and honestly seriously tasty. There is no need to miss out on the chocolate advent calendar fun this year with a lovely traditional vegan chocolate calendar. Or you might enjoy the giant vegan chocolate buttons, vegan hot chocolate bomb or Vegan orange chocolate bar (which Jon has devoured!!) to name a few of the other products in their range.
Haribo Hamper and Gift Boxes
“Kids and grown ups love it so, the happy world of Haribo”! You know you all think it when you hear the world Haribo! They really are the most well known sweet brand around and will always be a hit for both kids and adults. I know Elian is going to be super pleased with the Haribo Sweet Hamper when he opens his December Box on the 1st and the other 2 boxes are the perfect shape and size to pop in stockings! I think Ill have to steal a few of those Chamallows though! Yum!
Bradfords Farmhouse Larder Gift Tower
If you really want to push the boat out then why not buy a ready made hamper. These really are the perfect gifts for grandparents or elderly relatives who are hard to buy for, they rarely need anything so a tasty hamper of treats is a great gift idea. Bradfords Bakery offer a great selection of hampers and treat boxes depending on tastes and price point. The one we have is the Farmhouse Larder Gift Tower which comes packed in 3 lovely gift boxes. It contained a selection of cheese, crackers, chutney, sweet treats, tea, coffee, cake, soup, puddings and pate…a really is a feast they can enjoy over the festive period.
