  • Last Minute Christmas Gifts & Stocking Fillers In Your Supermarket

    Let’s be honest. Some people are planners and get Christmas done and dusted days or weeks before Christmas, and others are last minute shoppers. Everyone is different, but everyone gets things bought and done eventually, right? If you’re looking for budget friendly small gifts, stocking fillers or even Christmas Eve box ideas, here’s a few that you can find while doing your grocery shopping.

    Last Minute Christmas Gifts & Stocking Fillers In Supermarkets
    Treacle Moon’s Body Butters

    For anyone that loves body moisturisers and especially those with a heavier texture, Treacle Moon’s body butters is a perfect purchase. These are available in 2 fragrances which is Brazilian Love and Rouge Love Story. Nicely packaged, great size, lovely fragrances and currently down to £3.50 for 200ml if using a Tesco Clubcard (normally £5.00).

    Treacle Moon Body Butter
    Treacle Moon’s Shower & Bath Gels

    These are available all year around (although some fragrances are limited edition) and are on the shelf with everyday shower gels. But how they’re packaged and how they look don’t look like an everyday product. Great packaging, generous size of 500ml, performs well in both shower and bath and great fragrances. Teaming this up with Treacle Moon’s Body Butter makes this a great and affordable gift or on it’s own a stocking filler. Usual price £2.00, with Tesco Clubcard £1.65.

    Lidl’s Candles

    Lidl have a variety of their own branded candles in different fragrances and looks. They have a great mix of masculine fragrances, fruity fragrances, floral and some overall classic scents. This means whoever this candle is bought for, you will be able to find a scent they will like. Prices vary starting from £3.15.

    Heathcote & Ivory Hand Cream In Tin

    A travel sized hand cream housed in an adorable, cat decorated tin. Hand creams are always a good practical gift at this time of the year. The tin it comes in will appeal to certain people and you will KNOW who that person is. Very cute, very different and at full price is £8.00. It has been on a half price offer in Sainsbury’s recently if using a Nectar Card but unsure whether it’s still available discounted.

    Heathcote & Ivory Hand Cream In Tin

    Is it too late to buy Christmas gifts? No! Keep it simple, be focused where you’re shopping and for your sanity and time, narrow it down to a few shops where you can grab everything! And buy things you think people will like and use not just for buying sake.

  • Everything Gingerbread This Christmas In Home Bargains!

    A fragrance and visual design which is very popular this time of year and for Christmas, is gingerbread. Not surprising. The scent is perfect for colder seasons with it being spice heavy and warming. And the actual design of a gingerbread man is incredibly cute! So you will find lots of products that have this theme. I found ALOT in Home Bargains which could tick a lot of gifts off many people’s Christmas list. What did I spot in Home Bargains for home fragrance, bath and body products scented or inspired by gingerbread?

    Gingerbread House Bath Set

    A fun, and quite large gingerbread house style box contains a vanilla scented body lotion, bath shimmer and gingerbread shaped bath fizzer. Quite a sizeable gift idea, nicely packaged, full sized products and only £2.99.

    Ashton & Moore’s Gingerbread Biscuit Hand Wash

    It’s great to see seasonal hand washes. Great for practical use and for gifting. This practical hand wash is nicely themed and packaged, incredibly generous in size at 750ml and only £1.49!

    Wickford & Co’s Luxury Air Freshener

    It’s easy to forget about fragrancing the car if you drive (I do). So it’s great to see seasonal scents available rather than the typical ones available all year. This is quite an attractive looking air freshener and only £1.49.

    Wickford & Co’s Luxury Air Freshener
    Wickford & Co’s Pack of 3 Air Fresheners

    If you want other scents besides gingerbread, but still seasonal, this pack of 3 car air fresheners is perfect! This set includes gingerbread, warm apple & cinnamon and mulled wine. These air fresheners are the cardboard type which we’ve all used at some point, and costs only 99p.

    Candy Lane Gingerbread Reed Diffuser

    Reed diffusers are a great home fragrance alternative to a candle or wax melt, and Candy Cane Gingerbread Reed Diffuser looks well made, great size of fragrance (100ml), and like all the other products I’ve seen well packaged to give as a gift. £2.99.

    Candy Lane Gingerbread Reed Diffuser
    Wickford & Co’s Gingerbread Scented Gift Set

    This possibly could be a new gift set for this year as I haven’t seen it before. But included in this is a reed diffuser (100ml) and a candle (125g). It’s a shame the box doesn’t have a similar colourway as the items inside it, in my opinion, but does look festive. £3.99.

    Wickford & Co’s Gingerbread Scented Gift Set
    Wickford & Co Gingerbread Wax Melts & Candles

    Both the wax melts and the small jar candles are always popular. I’m not surprised because they both smell so good with a good strength to them both. I’ve used the wax melts and find these are really good, especially for only 79p. The jar candles are only 99p so equally just as cheap!

    Wickford & Co Gingerbread Wax Melts & Candles

    So these are just a few gingerbread inspired, scented or packaged home fragrance, bath and body care products I’ve found in Home Bargains. And guess what? All were under £4.00! So if this is a scent you want to gorge on for yourself or gifting, it might be worthwhile having a look at some of these products in your local store.

    Christmas is well and truly on it’s way, and we all know it! People have been buying Christmas trees, wrapping paper and gifts consistently for a few weeks with many putting the finishing touches to ALL of their Christmas purchases already. If you haven’t started Christmas shopping or looking for some inspiration for gift ideas, look no further. The supermarket Sainsbury’s has lots of great pampering gifts that are fun and affordable. So what does Sainsbury’s have to offer Christmas gift wise for under £10.00?

    Festive Bath Fizzers

    There were quite a few festive inspired bath fizzers available in the gift section in Sainsbury’s. Bauble design, reindeer, gingerbread man, snowman, snowflake. All great in look, good sizes, different fragrances and priced between £1.50 and £2.00 each when using their loyalty Nectar card (£3.00 to £4.00 without).

    Festive Bath Fizzers
    Raspberry Ripple Bubble Bar Wand

    This grabbed my attention because it’s very similar in look to one that LUSH sell, but fragranced and priced differently. A great alternative to a traditional bath fizzer or bath bomb. Will be reusable as it’s on a stick and will be fun and easy to use. £3.00 using a Nectar card, £6.00 without.

    Let’s Go Multipack Fizzer x 6 Gift Set

    This is ideal if you want to give a bath lover a more substantial set of fizzers rather than individual ones. This gift set contains 6 different shaped and coloured bath fizzers. Fragrances included are passionfruit, chocolate and pink grapefruit. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    Cath Kitson 4 Christmas Crackers Hand Creams

    Visually this is a beautifully presented selection of 4 hand creams with each housed in a cracker. These are in 3 different fragrances: 2 x Red Berry & Cedar, Tea Rose & Hyacinth and Lavender & English Chamomile. Each hand cream is 30ml so perfect pocket size.

    Cath Kitson Red Berry & Cedar Hand Cream Trio

    3 hand creams all fragranced in Red Berry & Cedar, but with different designs on the tubes. Another set easy on the eye and great for those who love the look of the brand, and of course use hand creams. £4.50 with Nectar card, £9.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    Honestly, I found this set containing 3 Nails Inc polishes gorgeous! The packaging was stylish and festive. The colours are a great selection of classic, Winter and party ready shades. This is one gift set I would be very happy to receive. £9.00 with Nectar card, £18.00 without.

    House of Nails Inc Nail Polish Gift Set

    These are just a few pampering products I found in Sainsbury’s which caught my attention. Some would make ideal stocking fillers, Christmas Eve box additions and some perfect small gifts. In my opinion prices are great BUT only if you use a Nectar card! Without it you pay full price, so be warned!

  • Affordable Christmas Stocking Fillers In Tesco

    Supermarkets are a great way to not only do everyday shopping but also gift shop too. These days they sell a variety of different products which makes buying gifts for people, especially for Christmas, an easy and sometimes inexpensive thing to do. Recently I went into my local Tesco to see what they had available for stocking fillers, Christmas Eve boxes and small gifts in general. So what did I find and how much did each item cost?

    Treacle Moon’s Spiced Gingerbread Biscuit Shower and Bath Gel

    I’m a fan of Treacle Moon shower and bath gels. Not necessarily for gifting but for everyday use. They’re fun, great fragrances, good sizes and very affordable. But their seasonal Spiced Gingerbread Biscuit Shower and Bath Gel is such a seasonal treat this would make a great addition to a stocking, Christmas Eve box or hamper. £2.00 for 500ml.

    Treacle Moon’s The Fabulous Four Gift Set

    If you’re looking for something a little bigger and more gift like from the brand Treacle Moon, they currently have a gift set called The Fabulous Four in store. It contains 4 different shower and bath gels (Raspberry Kiss, My Coconut Island, Sunny Brazilian Love and Spiced Gingerbread Biscuit) which are nicely boxed and packaged up. Each are 100ml in size, and currently priced at £4.00 instead of £8.00 if you use Tesco’s loyalty card (Clubcard).

    Treacle Moon’s The Fabulous Four Gift
    Treacle Moon’s The Happy Collection Gift Set

    Another great value set from Treacle Moon, but this time the contents are a little more varied. The Happy Collection contains a bath bomb, body mist, shower gel and hand and body creme. Great for top to toe pampering. Usual price is £13.00, with Clubcard £6.50.

    Treacle Moon’s The Happy Collection Gift Set
    Lee Bancroft’s Rest & Recharge Sleep Set

    This collection of night time treats includes a satin pillow case, eye mask and 2 hair scrunchies. I can see this being used and loved by various ages, but someone who values a good night’s rest and doing it in style especially. Priced at £12.00, with Clubcard £6.00.

    Leo Bancroft’s Rest & Recharge Gift Set
    Lee Bancroft’s Ultimate Hair Accessories Scrunchie Set

    4 large and 4 small satin scrunchies is what you would get within Lee Bancroft’s Ultimate Hair Accessories set. My teenage daughter would love this, and so would many other teens and other various ages too. Priced at £8.00 down to £4.00 with Clubcard.

    Leo Bancroft’s Ultimate Hair Accessories Scrunchie Set
    w7’s Silky Knots Large Scrunchies

    Another small and cute stocking filler for those who love a scrunchie, this set only contains 3 but the packaging screams gifting. Nicely presented and the cost won’t break the bank. Price is £5.00 without a Clubcard, but with £2.50.

    w7’s Silky Knots Large Scrunchies
    So…? Escapes Body Mist Set

    So…? fragrances are winners in my house and one of my daughter’s favourite body mists. This set contains 4 body mists, each a different fragrance (Ibiza Dreams, Bali Breeze, Mykonos Nights and Venice Kiss). Each one is 50ml in size, so great to travel with. Usual price is £10.00, Clubcard price £5.00.

    So…? Escapes Body Mist Set

    I would quite happily buy most of these for family or friends, or even myself at the Clubcard prices. At full price? Probably not. But at these special prices they are affordable, inexpensive and great buys. You can pick thee up in your local store, or even order online.
