The best gifts don’t have to be the biggest or the most expensive; sometimes, it’s those thoughtful little surprises that bring the most joy. Whether you’re shopping for your mum, a friend, or your work Secret Santa, we’ve taken the hard work out of Christmas shopping.
From votive candles to purifying bath salts, here are some of the best affordable gift ideas to make your loved ones smile without breaking the bank…
Nothing says Christmas like the rich scent of winter spices simmering away on the stove. With top notes of warm wine and sweet berries, heart notes of bay, cinnamon, and ginger, and base notes of vanilla, this Christmas candle evokes familiar feelings of nostalgia by filling your home with the sweet scent of Christmas.
If you’re looking for a high-quality product made with natural ingredients but without the expense, our votive bauble candles are a great alternative to full-size candles. Hand-poured with natural soy wax and a crackling wooden wick, they are crafted with equal care and precision. A great stocking filler for someone who appreciates the finer things in life.
And if mulled wine isn’t the fragrance for them, our votive baubles are also available in both of our other best-selling Christmas scents: The Pines and The Spices, all of which have an 18-hour burn time.
High-quality, handmade soaps add a generous dose of luxury to an otherwise unremarkable everyday task. Palm oil- and SLS-free, our soap bars are individually handmade with great care in Buckinghamshire. They make great stocking fillers or event favours for dinner guests, thanks to their beautifully illustrated gift boxes.
The Spices scent has top notes of lemon and orange, heart notes of ginger and thyme, and base notes of cinnamon and nutmeg—much like a festive wreath itself. Our soap bars are also available in two other festive scents, as well as our four Quintessential Collection fragrances.
The perfect gift for any candle lover: a luxury, decorative glass bottle filled with 125 long-length safety matches, fastened with a cork stopper and an illustrated gift tag of your choice.
Candle enthusiasts take great pleasure in the entire ritual of lighting a candle; a luxury match bottle adds to that experience and can be displayed proudly beside their most treasured candle. It’s a small but intentional gift that demonstrates your understanding of their love for curated, atmospheric spaces– a thoughtful accessory to complement your favourite candle lover’s collection.
The ideal gift for someone in need of a little stress relief after a chaotic Christmas. Our luxury bath salts transform a simple bath into a high-end, spa-like experience. Sourced from the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, our salts are packed with anti-inflammatory and detoxifying agents to hydrate the skin, reduce swelling, and soothe joints.
With delicate top notes of sage, grapefruit, bergamot, and tangerine, heart notes of seaweed and minerals, and base notes of musk, amber, and cedarwood, The Coast truly lives up to its name. It’s the scent of a cliff-top coastal walk, sea air billowing through your hair, the sound of waves crashing on the shore below, and only a flock of seagulls for company.
Home County Co. bath salts are a luxurious yet inexpensive gift that encourages self-care and relaxation– perfect for the person tasked with cooking Christmas dinner for the entire family.
The scent of a British wildflower meadow: delicate top notes of peony and red apple, floral heart notes of rose, jasmine, and carnation, and base notes of violet, plum, musk, and dry amber. A hand wash with a fresh, floral fragrance. Featuring the same eco-friendly glass bottle as our other hand care products, your recipient may simply insert the pump from their previous product and recycle their used bottle and refill cap.
SLS- and Paraben-free, and lovingly made in our Buckinghamshire workshop, our hand washes make for a thoughtful, luxurious gift.
We believe that thoughtful, handcrafted gifts mean more than big, ostentatious gestures ever could. Our carefully curated selection of high-quality products made from locally sourced, natural ingredients offers something for everyone– whether it be soothing bath salts, a beautifully scented soy wax candle, or a luxurious hand wash. Each item is made with love and care here in the UK, supporting local artisans and offering a truly special alternative to mass-produced gifts.
Treat your loved ones to something meaningful, sustainable, and memorable this Christmas with a gift from the Home County Co.
