Christmas gift ideas to suit all budgets

Welcome to my Christmas gift guide!

This time of year can be SO overwhelming and the pressure to give everyone in the family a magical Christmas can get too much.

So, to help you with the overwhelm, each week I’ll be sharing the best deals on Christmas gifts for kids (and adults!) to suit all budgets so you will hopefully have more time to enjoy the magic of Christmas with your family.

For kids

  • If you’re looking for a Toniebox or a Yoto for Christmas presents now is the time to grab them! These are the best deals I’ve found and you’ll save a bit extra with cashback too!

    • Tonie sale at Boots - £16 discount. You’ll get £5 worth of points when you buy online. New customers can also get 8% cashback through TopCashback 

    • Sainsburys also has a deal on Tonies figures - 2 for £24

    • Yoto Mini - the prices of these are super low in their Black Friday sale. They don’t often run sales on their website so I suspect this is the lowest we will see them before Christmas.

  • Yoto on Vinted - if you’re looking for Yoto cards this Christmas, have you checked Vinted? I would never have thought to check there but a friend told me she’d managed to get loads from there! Perfect for stockings! 

  • Kids instant print camera - this is one I’ve got for my two for Christmas - there’s currently 15% off on Amazon when you tick the box!

  • Scooter - A decent scooter is well worth the investment in my opinion. This one is great for kids just starting out as the double wheels at the front gives a bit of extra help with the balance - currently in the sale 25% off.

  • Wooden toys - if you’re looking for good quality wooden toys, I can’t recommend Jacques of London enough. They’re like a cheaper version of Melissa and Doug but the quality is still great. They always come in lovely packaging so great for gifting too. My little boy was obsessed with this set as a baby.

  • Melissa and Doug wooden toys - we’ve got a few of these and they’ve really lasted well over the years. This is my daughter’s favourite but keep an eye out in Home Bargains as they sometimes stock this brand for a fraction of the cost.

  • These cheap strollers are a win in our house. Both of my kids love playing with them and in my opinion there’s really no point spending loads on a pram that will just get dragged round the garden!

  • Magnetic tiles - these will grow with them and can be used for a variety of different games . There’s currently 25% off which is the lowest they’ve been this year!

  • Happy Land - these are great, imaginative play toys for kids. They can be quite pricey though but they’ve currently got a sale on them here, you can get an extra 10% off with code EXTRA10  but its also worth seeing if you get get them second hand as they last really well! 

  • My son got this marble run for his birthday in September and hasn’t put it away since! I love the Vtech ones compared to the cheaper alternatives as they’re much more sturdy and easier to build for little fingers. 

  • Educational toys - I love anything that’ll help the kids learn and this one is really fun. Its a great toy to help them to strengthen the muscles in their fingers ahead of writing, so great for pre-school children! Perfect Christmas gift.

  • You know we love our Yoto player, so I thought I’d share our most listened to card at the moment. This David Walliams story is on constantly in my house right now! The kids are OBSESSED!

  • There’s a massive toy sale at Amazon where you can get 3 for £20. Theres some big brands on offer including LEGO, Crayola, Orchard Games and Bluey.

 

TOP TIP! Don’t forget you don’t have to spend a fortune this Christmas to give the kids a magical time. There are lots of free and DIY activities you can do at home together.

 

For him

  • If you’re looking for a gift idea for the man in your life, this Mountain Warehouse body warmer is currently in the sale, reduced from £54.99 to £19.99 - BARGAIN! DEAL STACK! You can also get 5.55% cashback on top of this through TopCashback.

  • This is a bit of a boujee Christmas present but coffee lovers will LOVE it! This coffee machine has £45 off at the moment and a further 2.1% off with TopCashback.

  • Argos has an early Black Friday deal on for these JBL headphones - currently with £150 off!







For her

  • I bought this gorgeous lip oil in the sale and i love it! If you’re looking for a dupe apparently this Elf one is a good one too.

  • How beautiful is this set as a gift for Christmas?! It’s an embroidery kit for someone to add a little bit of personality to their clothing and I think it looks beautiful! They have loads of different designs to choose from and you can use code BF25 for 25% off making it an absolute bargain.

  • How gorgeous is this personalised gold necklace? I would LOVE to receive this as a Christmas gift (hopefully one of my friends or family have read this far down the email!). It should be £34 but there’s currently 30% off in the sale then you can get an extra 9% cashback on top of this through Ever Up, making your saving over £12!

  • MAC has launched some great deals for Black Friday event and you can deal stack them! Get a massive 15% cashback with TopCashback.

    • lipstick gift set which I think would be a lovely gift for the teenagers in your life! (they’re all into fancy make up these days aren’t they!). This comes to under £20 after cashback.

    • There’s also this incredible make up kit with lots of full-sized items included.

  • If you’ve not checked out Katie Loxton for gifts this year you’re missing out! I’ve picked out my faves here:

  • You can currently get 25% off Estee Lauder gift sets with code FESTIVE. You can choose from skincare, make up and fragrance!
