Think with Jude annual gift guide

Buying Christmas presents stresses me out. 
 
There, I said it. 
 
And as much as I would like to be that person who buys Christmas presents throughout the year, I’m not. I’d probably forget where I hid them or even that I brought them! 
 
So to make your festive giving a little easier here are 5 ideas to help. If you’re outside of the UK I hope the ideas give you inspiration for what to search for. 

For something more sparkly I highly recommend Monica Vinader for ethical and sustainable jewellery.

This is one of my favourite necklaces from her Alta collection.

All of her pieces are made from recycled metals and you get 5 years free repairs. 

If you have a gardener in your life then they will love an RHS membership which gives them free entry into any RHS garden, a monthly magazine and a helpline where you can ask for advice on any gardening need which has helped me many a time. 

I got the Guess the Pun calendar from Jelly Armchair a few years ago and my husband and I loved guessing the songs/books/films every month.

I didn’t get one this year and I missed it so much I’ve already bought one for 2025. 

One thing that makes the cold, dark nights bearable is my Hotel Chocolate Velvetiser.

It makes hot chocolate in 2.5 minutes, the drinking temperature is spot on and it’s easy to clean.

You could bundle with Hotel Chocolate drinking chocolate sachets, marshmallows and a crème liquor. 

And of course for the new manager in your life, my book, Think Like A Coach: Empower your team through everyday conversations, is a great gift.

It will help the reader lead their team in a coach-like way meaning they’ll feel more confident delegating and having tricky conversations. 

Top Tip 

I often come up with a theme and buy everyone gifts within that so I only have to shop at a couple of places. For example I’ve done: 

1. Personalised champagne glasses
2. Jigsaw puzzles featuring something the recipient is into
3. Personalised cheese boards
4. In colder climates, warm scarves
5. Fancy artisanal condiments
