Personalised Transparent Photo Frames (from £18)
Oakdene Designs
Your favourite pictures printed on to a pane of glass, framed in a beautiful white or black box frame. The sheer impact of this product will be enough to blow the recipient's socks off. I really was blown away with my frame - and
I was
expecting mine - if you gift this to a loved one without a single hint beforehand, there'll be tears shed.

Personalised Calendar (from £8.49)
Stressfree Print

I can't get enough of personalised products this year, to add a spot of personal uniqueness to any product is by far the nicest touch in any gift given or received, in my opinion. So what about a gift that lasts all year round and not just for Christmas, a personalised calendar?

Baileys Chocolat Luxe GOLD (£15)
Baileys
The most indulgent drink you'll come across this season, and now in a gold bottle to make it all the more special. Each bottle of Baileys Chocolat Luxe contains 30g of belgian chocolate alongside the traditional Baileys ingredients of Irish whiskey and cream. Truly delightful!

Tile Painting of a Carbon Copy of Your Child's Drawing (£26)
What's more thoughtful than really bringing to life a child's drawing by having a carbon copy painted onto a tile? Live, Love & Create offer just that! At £26 a piece, you can wall mount it, add it as part of the furniture by integrating it within your tiled walls or use it as a coaster.
This gift is suitable for anyone at all, for any occasion and it is certainly easier to look after than a scrap bit of paper.

Calming & Relaxing Bath & Body Set (£25)
Nougat London
I reviewed some of the Naturals Range earlier this year and I am
still in love with the hand cream. Indulgent, fragrant, and silk-like, you only need to use a tiny bit so you'll get a lot for your money.

Personalised Wooden Bauble with Christmas Card (from £5.50)
Funky Laser
What says 'thoughtful' more than a personalised product? I adore personalisation for gifts and you can bag both Christmas card and gift for around a fiver with Funky Laser here. For something less Christmassy and more elegant, I really would recommend their jewellery for a striking and quirky gift.

'Great Beard' Man Mug (£11.50)
2014 was the year of the beard. Anyone who was anyone rocked some facial fuzz this year and I have no doubt the trend will continue into 2015. Why not pay respect to their efforts and opt for a Christmas gift that acknowledges their facial greatness.

Kidizoom Smart Watch (£39.99)
It's an all singing, all dancing techno-dude's dream. A camera, video recorder, watch, alarm clock and timer loaded with games to boot, this really is everything that most kids will be nagging for this Christmas. Prices seem to varying on this at the moment so it pay's to shop around. Amazon had them for £24.99 when my review went live but they have since gone back up again. Nevertheless, wicked gift for any girl or boy and really isn't bank-breaking.

All babies need to protect their lovely little outfits from drool, sick and remnants of mashed sprouts and gravy, so why not gift them a personalised bib, just for them? A practical, stylish and thoughtful gift by anyone's standards, at pocket money prices. Funky Giraffe bibs wash beautifully too, so after Christmas it can be saved as a lovely keepsake. Carson is giving his baby brother this one for Christmas!

Baby's First Christmas Spoon (from £8)
Doormouse and the Teapot
Vintage teaspoons stamped with fun letters, personalised to read as you wish! I got Finley one as you can see, wow we were impressed. Use it as a bauble each year on the tree or a keepsake for when your little one grows up. Great value, great gift.

Feather Grey
There's no child that doesn't love colouring in or scribbling about.Well, why not pick up an adorably presentable Colouring in Set in a theme that suits their personality best? A notebook, stickers and colouring cards, stored in a tin, makes a perfect stocking filler for creative children.

Retro Sweets Box (£3.95)
Mr Big Tops
I've had these before and was well impressed! A box absolutely rammed with retro sweeties, delivered right to my door for just £3.95. Incredible value for a gift and will light the eyes of that younger recipient this Christmas. It even opens like an advent calendar. Ohhh, festive!

Filled & Celophane Wrapped Stockings (£12)
Kings Gift Baskets
Whilst contents may vary from stocking to stocking, Kings Gift Baskets also offer a vast array of hampers and goody bags that are tailored to exactly what you're looking for. Maybe your Dad is footy mad or your Mum is Galaxy chocolate obsessed - whatever you need, these guys will find it and make it, then wrap it beautifully and ship it out.
Travel Sterilisers (from £7.87)
Milton
The last thing you want at Christmas time is a poorly or buggy baby. The best way to keep risk to a minimum is to remember to sterilise. Travelling away doesn't mean you can't do this. Milton have the solo steriliser for bottles and toys (cold water or microwaveable), and the mini portable steriliser for dummies. They're incredibly cost effective and I use both of mine every single day. I highly recommend.
Myyfeed (£19.99)
Myyfeed
Christmas shopping with a baby is just plain awful, in my experience. Not only is it difficult to manoeuvre around the thousands of other flapping shoppers, you'll be hard pressed to find a cafe worker able to warm up baby's bottle (I actually blame the claim culture for why 99% of workers refuse to do so). Problem solved by using the Myyfeed, the container that keeps water warm and formula separate, so no worries about bacteria build up either.
There you have it!
