From Stocking Stuffers to Secret Exchanges — These Gift Ideas Will Bring Joy to Everyone You Know

Longtime Liz Earle fans know that the brand's cleansing cloth is superior to all others. While that alone makes the Refreshed Hands & Face Collection (£29.50) worth it, the added bonus of three full-size products — Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, Instant Boost Skin Tonic, and Orange Flower Hand Repair — makes this gift all the sweeter.

While their outdoor garden rests for winter, your friend with the green thumb is turning their flat into an indoor greenhouse. Spice up their plant collection with the Eleanor Bowmer Planter (£12.50). The unique design is hand-painted and sure to stand out from the rest of the clay pots occupying their windowsills.

We always need more tea, right? This British Museum Afternoon Treats with Tea & Biscuits (£8.50) is ideal for an artsy flat owner who left all of their tea essentials at mum's house. And, yes, it comes with biscuits.

It doesn't matter how many dupes people claim are out there — the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer (£13.60) is worth every pound. It's hard to choose just one thing to love about it — we're stuck between the extra-thick applicator and romantic rosy finish of the Fenty Glow shade (a fan favourite) — but that doesn't really matter; this gloss has been a crowd-pleaser for years and deserves a place in everyone's bag of joy.

It's been a year since your friend went on a date, and after 365 days of telling them to "get back out there," you've finally found a tactical way to encourage them to do exactly that. Meet YSL Black Opium Eau de Parfum (£64). Thanks to its famously compelling scent, Black Opium is arguably one of the best date fragrances, ever. Although some notes are surprising, like pear and coffee accord, when mixed with vanilla and white musk, they just make sense. Once on skin, Black Opium smells like it's always belonged there.

Do you know someone who loves smelling good, but couldn't tell you the difference between a base and top note? Consider gifting them the Ted Baker Vintage Amber Opulent Trio (£12.50). This foolproof set smells good and takes all of the guesswork out of finding a signature scent. Amber can be an acquired taste, but there's something universally pleasing about this trio's zesty smooth composition.

For the person who can't decide between sweet and salty, there's the Joe & Steph's Chocolate Lovers Popcorn Gift Box (£6). This medley of chocolate popcorn bites will probably be gone before the evening is over, but that just means they really loved the gift, right?

With most people returning to work, it's a natural fit to get those office dwellers a new FitBit Charge 4 (£94.99), which is basically a great reminder to get up, go outside, and move. The thinner design also feels like a much chicer addition to anyone's unique style aesthetic.

You know you know someone who hasn't stopped tweeting about Eternals since it came out. They combat the negative critic reviews daily and will die on the hill that this film is the best to ever come out of the MCU, making this Urban Decay Marvel Studios' Eternals Eyeshadow Palette (£36.80) the kind of gift that will bring a smile to their face. But brace yourself: upon unwrapping this gift, a monologue about the folklore behind each character will surely follow. (Just go with it, OK?)

Is your diary packed with parties in November and December? The Yankee 3 Votive Christmas Cracker (£3.99) works for every generous host who's looking for some sweet-smelling mood lighting while putting on the best soirée of the festive season.

Will instant cameras ever not be a fun gift to open? Nope! Few gifts can be used right upon unwrapping, but the Fujifilm Instax SQ1 Instant Camera (£99.99) can immediately be loaded with film to snap photos of your festive celebrations. It's basically a gift for everyone at your party.

No bag of joy is complete without a gift that reminds your friend to relax and take a soak in the tub. Smelling festive is hard to accomplish, but the Soap & Glory Jingle Blooms Toiletry Bag (£20) manages to do it. Featuring Jingle Blooms™ Body Wash, Body Scrub, and Body Butter, this collection of bath necessities will have them smelling sweeter than the chocolate in an Advent calendar (in the best kind of way).

Have you heard that wired headphones are cool again? If you've got a teen on your list, the Sony EX 15 In-Ear Headphones (£9.99) are the perfect gift. Bonus: they're much more affordable than whatever was trendy last Christmas.

For the person who hasn't had a good night's sleep since 2019, there's the This Works Deep Sleep™ Pillow Talk Set (£25). This dreamy duo is everything your friend needs for a luxurious eight (or, at the least, six) hours of rest, including a soothing pillow spray and calming roll-on that's basically the grown-up alternative to lullabies.

For the budding barista, the Costa Dusting Set With Stencil (£5) is the gift that'll keep on giving. Practice makes perfect, and this gift practically guarantees that whoever gets this present will become a pro before New Year's.
