Cozzie-livs-proofed gifts for under £25

The holiday season is a great time to set intentions for the new year, maybe even develop a new hobby. This home pottery collection from Sculpd comes with air dry clay and a detailed guide to help you make a vase inspired by the human form. Whether you mould it for someone special or gift the set as is, that’s a winner either way.

We all have that one friend who can’t commit, whether that’s to a person, a job or in this case, a flavour. Treat them to a little bit of everything with this sample box from Teapsy. Extra points for the romanticised packaging and cutesy names, shimmering Moondust in a cup anyone?

The best holiday presents are those that can become staples in your wardrobe well beyond festive season. The embroidered socks from Artefacts of Planet Woo check all the right boxes and more: chic, cosy, and comfortable without breaking the bank. Wrap it up for the sporty friend who dresses preppy all year round.

For the woo-woo friend, a Reiki-charged water bottle that makes every sip a step towards goodness. The gemstone water bottle contains a natural quartz point that manifests a grounding, protective energy and attracts harmony in life. Oh and it’s dishwasher safe, so magic without the extra effort.

Red, green, snowflake whatever, how about a soothing activity that doubles up as decor? Innocent Bones makes beginner-friendly cross stitch kits that calm your nerves and make you feel productive all at once. A perfect gift for the Grinch-adjacent friend who needs a reminder to feel festive as fuck.

The Müll Club candle holders are obvious conversation starters, they don’t just add drama to your festive feast but they also make a conscious statement while doing so. This beautiful blue blend is made from recycled yoghurt ports, ice cream tubs and takeout containers. One for the friend who counts their carbon emissions.

The week between Christmas and new years eve is almost always a blur. Family, food, festivities, drinks and dancing feel so good one minute and then absolutely exhausting the next. The eye care trio is for the friend who could do with some self care after the party passes over. Relax, reset and rejuvenate.

A blend of coconut oil, castor oil and mango extracts, this luxe offering adds moisture to both the hair and beard. Crafted specially for Black men, the Aaron Wallace oil makes a great present for someone who goes the extra mile and stands by self care.
