Christmas Stocking Gift Guide | 2020 Edition

Contains PR Samples – Christmas Stocking Gift Guide | 2020 Edition

Anyone else love opening up their stocking on Christmas morning and seeing it filled with your favourite things and those little gifts you never saw coming? Opening my stocking and watching everyone else open theirs is a highlight on my Christmas morning, I always make a point to do a mix of useful items and unique items.

So, with that in mind my Stocking filler gift guide reflects that as well, with some items that are very useful and everyone could use to those little unique pieces that will put a smile on any recipients face. 

Here are 9 amazing stocking filler presents perfect for Christmas

Il Gusto miniatures

Looking for a stocking filler for that special person who enjoys trying different flavoured alcohol drinks? Maybe you want to get something a little different and a bit more personal this year to put in their stocking?

Well then, you have to take a look at the Il Gusto range which offers fabulous novelty shaped bottles that can be filled with your choice of spirit or liqueur from their extensive range. They have Christmas specialities that include cherry bakewell gin, gingerbread liqueur, blood orange vodka and white chocolate truffle liqueur.

I have been drinking the blood orange vodka lately which came in a beautiful glass Santa bottle and it tastes amazing! These would be absolutely perfect for stockings as they are miniature and won’t take up a lot of room.  

The individual Il Gusto Miniatures are available from £10 and sets of three bottles are available from £22.00. What’s even better is you can add personalised messages to your bottles if you wish which makes the perfect touch for those more personal gifts which I’m sure everyone could be doing with this year.

They also have an introductory offer right now where you can choose 8 20ml sample sized bottle for just £2! so that you can see what they have to offer and try out different flavours plus they will also send out a £10 voucher which you can use on your first purchase! how amazing is that?   

With such a big range and so much to choose from, they are the perfect little alcoholic stocking filler – ilgusto.com

Tea+

Tea+ is a health and wellbeing brand, with a range of vitamin, mineral and CBD infused teas. They offer both a subscription box plan and single order products so that you can choose exactly what you want and how you want to receive your tea which is great if you are looking for some little boxes to put in the stockings.

By blending vitamins with delicious flavours, their teas provide a convenient way to take vitamin supplements. Each of their vitamin teas has been expertly blended to provide a powerful nutritional dose of up to 100% of your daily vitamins plus herbs, fruit and tea! 

I have been trying out their sleep tea and CBD tea recently and I have to say, they both taste delicious and make a great addition to my routine. As I have said before, tea is my original love and I drink at least two cups a day but over the past three maybe 4 weeks I have upped that intake because I’ve been working from the computer a lot more.

So I am going through cups of tea like no one’s business! and the Tea+ CBD pack has come in rather useful, especially since CBD is already in my routine, but this gives me that extra boost. I normally have it around 7ish at night if I’m still working and then come half 9 I will have a cup of the Sleep tea to aid me in switching off from the day’s stress and the screen.

The Tea+ tea starts from £2.19 and there are a whole host of gifts you could get, these would be perfect for putting into a stocking, especially the CBD travel tea as it’s small enough but packs a punch – teaplusdrinks.com

Carfume

It was in 2018 I became obsessed with car air fresheners after getting my first car and since then I have been hooked on trying out new cents and every year I always get one in my stocking that is a funky design, last year it was a cat but the smell wasn’t that strong and it didn’t last, but had I gotten a Carfume one, I wouldn’t have had that problem. 

Carfume started in 2019 with a vision to enhance their customers’ adventures wherever the road takes them. They offer a whole range of car air fresheners that have unique designs and the scent lasts which is a bonus.

The bottle is glass and has a bespoke, carved wooden top to give them that air of elegance and add a touch of class to your car. Their mood enhancing fragrances are guaranteed to level up anyone’s driving experience!

Their premium car fresheners are inspired by their love of perfumes and aftershaves – that truly boost your mood. With plenty of scents and colours to choose from you will find one that fits everyone’s aesthetic and as someone who enjoys keeping their aesthetic on point, even in the car, I really appreciate that. They are also refillable which is a huge bonus meaning you could try out different scents each time without having to buy a new glass bottle every purchase.

These car air fresheners are perfect for stockings! and as someone who does appreciate car airfreshners, I can confirm that the recipient will love this, and they come in at under £10.

Always Personal, Personalised Bamboo Wireless Phone Charging Pad

Offering high quality products that can be personalised at a low price, Always Personal has something for everyone!

This stylish bamboo phone charging pad adds a bit of elegance to technology, with space to add a custom message, it makes the perfect personal gift to place under the tree. You simply place your phone on the charging station and leave it to charge.

Since receiving this wireless charging station I haven’t used anything else to charge my phone, it works great and the quality is top tier! It’s not flimsy, it’s solid bamboo and can withstand being dropped (which I may or may not do quite regularly haha).

Personally I love mine and can’t recommend it enough. When personalising the phone charging station you can choose your message and the font that you want to give it that special touch.

The charging station comes in at £17.95 which is brilliant for a gift that allows you to put the personal touch on it and makes it stand out from the generic products. Putting this in someone’s stocking would be both practical but also unique which ticks two boxes!

Note from Always Personal – “The charger is compatible with any mobile phone which supports wireless charging, please check that your phone supports wireless charging, we cannot accept any responsibility or returns for incompatibility.”

All of the products are handmade with love and care using natural, plant based ingredients. The brand is completely free from animal cruelty and all ingredients are of the highest quality and ethically sourced. At Temple De Luna they strive to be environmentally conscious every step of the way.  

I genuinely LOVE THIS BALM!

The Tierra Balm is a “versatile, multi-purpose balm, with a blend of herb-infused coconut oil, skin-soothing essential oils and collagen-stimulating soy wax. This beautiful little balm can be used for an array of things; from dry patches of skin, cuticles, elbows and knees, dry or chapped lips, as a face moisturiser, beard balm, balm cleanser and so much more. Simply dab or rub on these areas or anywhere in need of a nourishing boost of moisture.”  

I have really enjoyed using the Tierra Balm, it is a great all rounder as it can be used for multiple things such as lip balm, balm cleanser, for dry skin and more. I personally use this balm for my lips and cuticles and it works a treat.

Smart Screen

We probably all deal with screens daily from our phones to computers, they are firmly here to stay and Smart Screen have launched a revolutionary, antibacterial cleaning cloth designed to ensure phones and tablets remain box-fresh.

Smart Screen is a London based start up brand propelled by lockdown creativity, creating a designer cleaning cloth for your screens that comes in a pouch and even has a clasp to keep your cloth from disappearing. The pouch has been designed to fit in your pocket and allows you to travel easily with it so that you always have your cloth on hand to keep your screens clean.

This premium cloth and pouch has been specifically manufactured with the current heightened awareness of cleanliness in mind, with a silver ion antibacterial liquid treatment applied during the weave process. The ‘Smart Screen’ boasts a durability that ensures antibacterial properties lasts for up to 15 washes.

Not only can this cloth be used for your phone or tablet it is versatile enough to be used for your glasses, computer screen and even camera lenses! And as someone who deals with cameras daily, I can confirm that it is amazing for cleaning them and it’s small enough to fit in your camera bag for travelling. They also come in a variety of six different colours: Navy Blue, Saffron Yellow, Slate Grey, Powder Blue, Polar White and Camel Brown.  

Smart Screen CEO, David Sant explains –

“As a serial entrepreneur and businessman I’m always looking for opportunities to spot gaps in the market and bring a concept to reality. During lockdown I have been reminiscing back to being on busy commuter trains with everyone staring at their phones then cleaning them on jeans, jacket sleeves or a handkerchief. It strikes me that now more than ever we have a requirement for ourselves and a duty to others to live in a more clean-conscious manner. I’m proud to bring such a high-end yet accessible product to market to meet a new wave in demand.”

The Smart Screen would be perfect for anyone at Christmas to pop in their stocking as pretty much everyone has some form of technology that has a screen that needs cleaning. Retailing at £9.95 each, these lovely little cloths would be a great addition. You can get yours here – smartscreen.store
