Christmas is just around the corner so if you are not sorted with your gift buying now, it really is time to step up your shopping efforts! Luckily, we offer next day delivery on most products plus we have some great inspiration for presents if you are still not sure what to buy.

Here are three ideas for gifts that offer just a bit more this Christmas.

Scented Candles

The first thing that most people notice when they walk into a house is not how it looks, but how it smells. Scented candles can help people make a great impression on their visitors, but they also offer something much more than that. The principles of aromatherapy are based on different fragrances eliciting different emotional responses, which can range from helping us to feel focused and energised, to relaxed and de-stressed, and even improving mental health and well-being. For example, did you know that lemon and vanilla can boost productivity, rose can reduce stress, lavender can help you sleep better, and jasmine can enhance your mood?

This is what makes scented candles such a thoughtful gift as you can choose fragrances that could be beneficial to the recipient.

Our scented candle gift packs contain either 6 or 12 candles in delicate floral designs, vibrant marbled patterns, or minimal black and white style, and include an assortment of fragrances. They’re all 100% soy so will last longer, give a more authentic scent, and are more sustainable than other types of wax. A wonderful gift as a pack that allows your loved one to place them in different rooms or why not use them individually as stocking fillers or secret Santa gifts? Great to have in as spares for ‘gift emergencies’ too!

Metal Detectors

Looking for something really different that could actually introduce your friend/family/loved one to a whole new hobby, provide fun and enjoyment, and even get them out into the fresh air? Then look no further than a metal detector! Your gift is guaranteed to be the one they remember and is much more thoughtful than slippers or socks!

A starter set with everything you need to get going is just £44.99, an All-Terrain kit for £55.00 is great for adventurers who enjoy getting out in the wilds in all weathers, and the XP Pro kit boasts advanced discrimination settings, pinpoint audio, and an easy-read backlit display for £64.99.

Telescopes

Like metal detectors, the gift of a telescope can introduce someone to a fascinating pastime that is both fascinating and educational. However, this one you can use from the comfort of your own home. Great for people who are less ‘outdoorsy’ or those who can’t get out and about so easily, for whatever reason.

Your recipient doesn’t need to be a scientist or budding astrophysicist to enjoy what the night sky has to offer through their telescope and a beginner model is just £38.99 including a tripod. If you are buying for someone who has a little more experience or is wanting to upgrade their basic version, how about a Stargazer Pro telescope for £59.99 including a tripod? It’s simple to use for beginners, but it offers enough performance to be useful as you develop into a more skilled star-spotter.
