Christmas is almost upon us and the older I get, the more I lean towards wanting gifts that are not only enjoyable and beautiful, but also ones that are practical and can be used every day too.
This Christmas gift guide will hopefully give you some inspiration on some beautiful gift ideas, as well as the perfectly practically ones that definitely won't be left sitting in a cupboard somewhere!
A cordless and compact vacuum cleaner was top of my Christmas wish list this year as I just wanted something light and powerful at hand to clean up the boys' messes - especially after meal times... my poor kitchen floor!
The Gtech HyLite is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a clean house as it's the world's smallest and most compact vacuum cleaner. This is a dream to use. The handle contracts so that it's easy to store. You simply push a button on the vacuum head and it starts - you also press this button to turn off the vacuum. It handles carpets and wood floors easily and has a built in light for seeing what needs to be vacuumed around cupboards or under beds for example.
At just 1.5kg it's super light - no more lugging heavy vacuums up the stairs! It has a running time of 20 minutes and is ready to go after a quick charge. The Gtech HyLite would make a great gift this Christmas and I'm delighted with mine. No more crumbs on my floors!
Everyone needs to be reminded just how special they are once and awhile and this silver I AM ENOUGH affirmation bracelet from SoulAnalyse is a lovely gift idea for reminding someone of just that.
This is dainty enough for everyday wear and other affirmations and colours are available too, so you can find a special message for a lady in your life in a metal colour she prefers.
It wouldn't be Christmas without a bath bomb gift set and this one from The Present Finder is both beautiful and affordable too! This is the ideal gift for anyone who is in need of some relaxation.
Already beautifully wrapped in floral print paper and tied with a bow, this gift set includes two bath blasters, two bath melts and a soap slice - giving lots of opportunities for a good, long soak in the bath. The products include -
Incense & Sensibility Blaster
Azure Skies Soap
Pink Rhubarb Princess Whoopie Blaster
Chai High Mallow
Miss Tangleberry Buttercup
All of this products will leave your gift recipient feeling relaxed, refreshed and with perfectly nourished skin.
If you want to go down the route of gifting a little bit of relaxation, but with a flowery twist, then this is the perfect gift idea!
Fabrics and Flowers Bathing Flowers are a product I've used before and which give a lovely bathing experience. We've all seen those idyllic Instagram pictures of baths filled with flowers (what a dream!), well these bathing flowers give that experience, only without the hassle of having to clean up a load of petals afterwards!
Simply run under hot water and relax as the stunning floral blend of orange blossom, sweet birch, gardenia with jasmine, coconut, peach amber and vanilla fill up your bath tub.
These make for a lovely, pampering gift with a twist on your usual toiletries and bath themed gifts and are so affordable at under £10!
This is hands down the best planner I have ever seen available! It has a section for absolutely anything life could throw at you and is beautifully put together in a hardback floral print cover with gold binding.
This is a perfect, practical planner for busy mothers, with sections not only dealing with family schedules and household outgoings, etc., but also a section to record your own personal monthly goals in a variety of areas, a one line a day journal, a place to record your meal plans, etc. It literally has everything you need from a planner and is so practical and handy for everything in one place.
This would make a perfect gift for any woman who loves to be organised, you love stationary and making notes of everything and who wants something to help manage everything she needs to remember from week to week.

I love sentimental gifts and the art and calligraphy prints created and sold by small Irish business Three Little Birds couldn't make a more perfect Christmas gift - especially for those who love to have something pretty and encouraging framed or hanging on their wall.
All of Three Little Birds designs are created in Ireland and come in a mix of quotes, Irish and English sayings and some are decorated with beautiful hand illustrated art work too.
Three Little Birds is a family business and Deborah, the woman behind it, is such a lovely person. So if you're wanting to support small businesses this year with your gift giving then I can't recommend Three Little Birds and their lovely products enough. They make the most perfect gifts!
If you're looking to gift a special lady in your life with something before Christmas even begins then an Advent Calendar Christmas Candle from beautiful brand Norma & Dorothy would make a lovely gift to countdown to Christmas.
This stylish calendar is a perfect way to celebrate the magic of Christmas in the countdown to the big day. With a beautiful scent of orange and cinnamon, this candle is perfectly festive! Burn each evening for an hour and tick the day off the label on the candle for a unique take on a traditional advent calendar.
Norma & Dorothy's candles are hand poured in their Manchester workshop, presented in an apothecary style jar with lid and personalised for order before being beautifully packaged and ready for you to present as a perfect gift.
How beautiful is this festive holly and ivy adorned cup and saucer from Portmeirion? This is a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys their cups of tea and likes to be seasonal with the items in their home - this person is totally me by the way!
To go with the cup and saucer above how perfect is this 2 tier cake stand, also in the beautifully festive The Holly and the Ivy print.
This would be a perfect gift for anyone who loves to bake and wants to show off their lovely creations at Christmas time. I think this would make a lovely centrepiece for a festive afternoon tea or to have on the coffee table full of treats as you enjoy some quality family time around the fire.
The cake stand comes presented in a beautiful box with matching print, making it a lovely item to have stowed safely away for each Christmas.
Hopefully this gift guide has given you some inspiration for perfect and practical Christmas gifts for her this Christmas.
