December 11, 2025   |    Suzanne Baum

Welcome to our Christmas wellbeing gift guide – a collection of calming, cosy and uplifting ideas designed to help you stay grounded during the busiest season of the year. Christmas may be full of joy, but it can also feel overwhelming when life gets hectic. Our Christmas wellbeing gift guide highlights warming hand-held gadgets, soft accessories and comforting home treats.

THE HOT LIST

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Gift your loved ones something that will keep them warm, snug and cosy – whatever the weather

OCOOPA UT3 Lite Magnetic Hand Warmers, £26.99


A clever little winter essential, perfect for anyone who always feels the cold. These sleek magnetic hand warmers heat up in seconds and slip easily into pockets or gloves, providing instant cosy comfort on the lowest of the three heat settings. Quick to recharge and long-lasting, they make a thoughtful and practical Christmas gift – ideal for commuters, outdoor lovers, or anyone who could use a little extra warmth this festive season.

Genevieve Sweeney Fingerless Lambswool Gloves Raisin Brown, £50

A timeless winter accessory, these fingerless lambswool gloves are as stylish as they are practical. Soft, cosy and breathable, they keep hands warm while allowing full use of fingers for texting, shopping or scrolling. Available in a range of colours and designed to suit anyone, they make a versatile and thoughtful Christmas gift for him or her.

Loop Cashmere Boucle Sock in Smoke Beige, £70

When it comes to comfort in fashion, nothing is more uplifting than the feel of cashmere against the skin. Yes, it is a luxurious fabric but its Christmas after all and you will certainly knock the socks off the recipient of this gift. Versatile, stylish and super soft, these socks are perfect for lounging around the house or tucked into boots. Bonus points for being sustainable; 100% of the yarn is sustainably sourced.

Heat Holders Faux Fur Luxury Thermal Blanket 140cm x 160cm – Natural, £42.99

This velvet soft fleece will be warmly received as Christmas is the perfect time to slump on the sofa and this gift has you all wrapped up. The fake faux blanket in taupe is super soft and with a 3.7 TOG thermal rating, it’s designed to lock in warmth for the ultimate comfort experience. Comes delivered with a bow for an extra wow factor.

SWEET DREAMS

Christmas can often involve burning the candle at both ends and a good night’s sleep will help recharge your batteries

The Silk Club Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcases, £49.99

An organic silk pillowcase is the height of luxury and makes a perfect Christmas gift. Expertly engineered for an ultra-cool, refreshing feel, they offer comfort all year round. With evidence to suggest that silk pillow cases enhance sleep better than cotton or linen (due to the material being cooler and softer on the skin), this is a gorgeous gift. Presented in an elegant gift box, it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is.

HAYO’U Bamboo Body Tapper, £35

A perfect way to destress before bed, this product – founded on the practice of an ancient Chinese technique used for centuries, is meant to promote calm when your mind is racing. The tapper, that as the product suggests, involves tapping the body with the bamboo sticks – helps promote your circulation and decrease stress. Also claims to help promote blood flow to hair follicles to help them grow.

MAKES SCENT

Scents can influence our mood, transform our mind-set and evoke happy memories. From candles and perfumes to a handwash and deodorant set, these gifts will add some spice to your loved one’s life

Alexandra Kay Time to Inhale Handheld Diffuser, £21

Ideal for anyone that needs a bit of self-care on the go, this portable diffuser is something you can pop into your bag and use to help calm you when you feel in need of a bit of grounding. A super thoughtful wellbeing gift, it just requires you to add in your favourite oil.

Ataratma Orris Nirvana Perfume, £215

No Christmas gift is complete without a perfume and Orris Nirvana is the most calming and grounded scent you’ll ever smell. Orris is an exceedingly rare perfume ingredient that is sweet in smell and blended with hints of violets and woodiness with suede and soft musks, producing a rich earthy and woody scent that is very comforting. This perfume lasts well on the skin all day.

AKT THE ENSEMBLE SC.01 ORANGE GROVE, £44.50

If you haven’t heard of AKT, it’s the UK’s most awarded natural deodorant. It is full of goodness: 100% plastic free, cruelty free, vegan & natural – plus it smells amazing. This new Christmas set – that includes a gorgeous travel bag containing the brands iconic Body Wash Concentrate, Body Conditioning Balm and Deodorant Balm – smells insane. Featuring the “orange grove” scent, it is a fresh, citrusy, (with notes of petitgrain, mandarin and neroli) fragrance that stays on the skin all day long, with no need to reapply.

Oribe Côte d’Azur Revitalizing Hand Wash, £43

A luxurious hand wash with the most uplifting citrus fragrance. We also love the fact this product goes to work well in not just cleaning hands but soothing dry and cracked areas too, with its nourishing ingredients like sweet almond oil and meadowfoam seed oil adding hydration to sore or hardened skin. Smells divine.

Wilberg’s Tranquility Set – Lavender Bath Essence & Candle, £25

Lavender does wonders for helping create calm and this gorgeous set is infused with the soothing scent and aromatic eucalyptus. This is a very thoughtful gift that will transform any space into a spa-like zen zone as the fragrance wafts through the house and even eradicates cooking smells which is a bonus!
