Best Christmas Gifts for Her

Laura Roberts gifts & gadgets

Last week we published our 'Gifts for Him' guide ready for Christmas, so we thought it was only right to follow up with a 'Gifts for Her' guide to even out the score! We know how hard it can be to think of unusual gifts and quirky stocking fillers, so this guide is intended to give you a helping hand with your gift-giving efforts this year.

Canar Money Bank

These Canar Bankers are both practical and cute, with 4 unique ranges and 4 styles to choose from in each of them! These little ducks can help you to keep all of your loose change in order, with easy access any time you need to grab a few bob!

1-Up Cup Cake Mould Set

These quirky cake moulds are ideal for girls who love gaming and baking, or those who just love to make cool, unusual kitchen creations! Once the batter has baked and risen, their cakes should resemble the adorable Mario mushrooms; with any luck they'll let you share the delicious end product too!

Turbulence Wine Glasses

Sometimes, it can be a lot harder than you would think to treat the wine lover in your life. A bottle of their favourite tipple can seem a bit too obvious and predictable, while a glass set can be a practical but bland choice. The Turbulence range is an attractive and innovative solution to this problem, which provides a winning combination of aesthetic beauty and taste-improving design. Thanks to the unique swirled pattern in the crystal, these glasses provide a truly sensual experience, improving the taste and aroma of any wine.

Family Time Photo Clock

This modern and unusual clock would make a great gift for the family matriarch, who loves to adorn their home with photographs of their nearest and dearest! For added impact, fill the frames with a collection of photographs before gifting it, so that the full impact can be truly appreciated from the moment it's opened.

iPhone Clutch Bag Case

These iPhone Clutch Bags are an ideal way to turn your iPhone 5 or 5S into a glamorous accessory, prefect for nights when your travelling light! It can be hard work attempting to fit your phone into your clutch bag at times, but these are specifically designed to mould to the shape of your phone. The handy gold strap makes it easy to hang onto, while the pockets give you space to keep your cash and cards on hand for when you need them!

If you fancy any of the items on this list, be sure to send some cheeky hints to your loved ones on Facebook and Twitter. For more awesome gifts and gadgets, take a look at the gift ideas page on our site!

Gifts for People Who Hate Christmas

Joel Dear gifts & gadgets

Yesterday marked 15 years since the release of The Grinch movie; feel old yet? This adaptation of Dr. Suess' classic tale, tells the story of a grumpy, green guy who decides to ruin Chritmas for everyone, but learns the error of his ways when he is given a taste of human kindness.

Seeing as we all know someone who isn't as keen on the Christmas cheer that surrounds us at this time of year, we thought we would give you a gift guide that might help you put a smile on their faces.

Full Wine Bottle Glass

For people who love Christmas, the season of joy and good will can’t come quick enough, but always seems to whiz by too soon. For people who aren't so keen it seems to drag by, leaving them to sulk in the corner only to appear every so often to ask in earnest; ‘Is it over yet?’ Thanks to this genius full bottle glass, the Scrooge in your life can drown their sorrows without having to share their plonk with any merry souls…

Gnome Range

These hilarious gnomes make perfect gifts for your rude, crude and cynical friends and family. Taking innocent, jolly garden gnomes and transforming them into twisted parodies, these ornaments are certainly not for the easily offended.

T**t Mug

Whether this statement is imposed or self-proclaimed, it certainly makes a fitting gift for all the miserable gits you know.

Buy here.

Poo Emoji Pillow

Have you ever asked a person who is anti-Christmas what they would like for Christmas? Have they then responded with any of the following statements: ‘I don’t want s**t all!’, ‘Christmas is Bulls**t’ ‘I don’t know, any old crap’ and so on… Well now you have the perfect response, in the form of this Happy Poo emoji pillow. Subtly suggest that they cheer up, while also fulfilling their request in a creative way.

Petron Stealth Archery Set

Some people hate Christmas so much, it makes them want to wipe the smiles off the faces of all those happy, Christmas-loving idiots. Now these people can take out all of their frustrations without causing any serious harm, with this Petron Archery Set. Perfect for: silencing carol singers, target practice with pictures of Santa Claus.

There you have it, our not-so-cheerful Christmas gift guide. If you're looking for some offensive, funny, alternative Christmas cards, check out these.
