Gifts For Her This Christmas
We're not experts, but we're willing to bet most guys struggle to find the perfect gift for their significant other at Christmas.
However this year, don't worry. We've got you covered. Below we've drawn up a list of six gifts that she is sure to love this Christmas.
Brussels sprouts, the marmite of vegetables. You either love them, or you hate them. But if you're up for seriously confusing someones tastebuds, then this Giant Chocolate Brussels Sprout should do the trick.
The giant sprout is filled with four baby sprouts, each filled with creamy milk chocolate. Each life-sized chocolate treat is made from solid milk chocolate piped into a white chocolate shell, then rolled in more white chocolate with a touch of green food colouring to give them their sprout-like appearance.
In addition, the sprouts are good for six months, as long as you store them in a cool dry place. And what's more, they can be personalised to make your sprout-tastic present even more special.
So if the recipient of your gift really, really hates vegetables but loves chocolate, then this gift is perfect for them.
Price: £12
If there's a star in your life, this personalised Wooden Star Keepsake will let them know you think they're special.
Handmade from solid wood, each star has a rustic appearance and a shabby chic finish, making each wooden star completely unique.
In addition, they are also free standing and would add a nice touch to any room.
What's more, you can add a personalised message of your choice. Each star is made by hand, the wording may not be perfectly aligned and the spacing may not always be perfect and will vary. However, we think this adds to its uniqueness as a gift.
Price: £7.50
For sweet lovers and marshmallow lovers alike, why not get your hands on everyone's favourite campfire snack?
This kit includes any two flavours of gourmet marshmallow, a non-toxic gel burner, set of eight bamboo skewers and a bespoke kraft gift box which features an internal printed guide on 'how to toast the perfect marshmallow'.
You get to choose from two flavours of handmade gourmet marshmallow, which use only fairtrade sugar and no artificial colours or flavours. Flavours include Vanilla Bean, Candy Floss, Strawberry Cream, Choc Orange & Salted Caramel.
If you don't use all of the burner straight away, just pop the lid back on to extinguish the flame and leave it to cool.
Price: £15
