Christmas Gift Guide And Competition 2019 Ends 01/12/19

I say this every year around this time - yes it won't be long before Christmas! I don't know about you but I generally buy my presents over November and December so not to panic buy. I always feel I don't have enough for my son though and end up buying extras last minute.  This year we are making a conscious effort to only buy what we really think will be appreciated. I think experiences are great, and this year I am looking to buy my son an experience like an activity. In the past, for my son and husband I've bought escape room activities, a driving supercars racing day and Zombie shooting. I'm easy to buy for, give me some chocolate, some makeup and a hotel stay and I'm sorted. Mr W take note!

If you are finding it difficult what to buy this year. I've done some of the hard work for you. I've rounded up some great gifts here for my adult Christmas gift guide 2019 and the best part is you can win all these prizes too.

For your husband




For your brother or son, this leather friendship bracelet from Hersey & Son would make the perfect gift. Made from sterling silver and the finest 3mm plaited black or mid-brown leather (dyed with eco-friendly dye) the solid silver disc on this friendship bracelet can be engraved with a name or a short message to make it even more personal.
