Can you believe it’s that time again already? It only seems a short while since I was writing last year’s guides. Incidentally, they should still have usable gift links in too. You can find them here and here.
Over the past few months I’ve been busy searching the worldwide web for extra special presents for those really annoying people that are so difficult to buy for. There are 59 bad boys in this post, so there has to be something that takes your fancy.
Don’t think I’ve been entirely altruistic though. One of the best things about creating gift guides is that many of my friends and family read them, so I can surreptitiously leave little clues for things I might like!
Just so you know, as with last year, I don’t do the whole male and female gift guide thing as I’m not into pigeonholing gifts. Nine times out of ten, if it’s supposed to be for women, I can guarantee I want it, unless perhaps it’s a bra, or book on the menopause, although you never know with my hormones at the moment!
Anyway, you can decide who gets what and if your wife really wants the remote control paper airplane, then I think she should be allowed to fly.
The first nine items here are free to view, but there’s another 50 for my lovely paid members who help support this newsletter. I’ve saved some of my best ideas till last and some great discount codes too.
To see my fabulous home, beauty, gadget, clothing, & culinary gift ideas for people super hard to buy for, and a whole bunch of stocking fillers, you’ll need to upgrade, but there’s 25% off right now, so why not treat yourself, or gift someone an annual membership?
If that’s not enough, then on Sunday I have a whole post on Gifts for Gardeners Hard to Buy For!
Right, let’s get the ball rolling.
This is great value. The Wild Meadow & Fresh Vines gift hamper is reduced from £80 to £48 at M&S.
I’d be thrilled to receive this Acqua Di Parma perfume sample set with a selection of ten of the most iconic fragrances from the Maison - £38
The ultimate picnic hamper for the person that has everything. This luxury four-person, fully fitted picnic basket hamper, lined with green tweed material and finished with tan real leather trim and handle couldn’t be more perfect - £268.
The Lana Trifle Bowl is an absolute beauty at £55.00.
Emily Rollings The Essential Planner 2026 - £29. Once you have one of these you will want one forever. I have bought myself one of these for years now and I can’t do without it. I also have two friends that have asked for them again this year. There’s 20% off until 2nd December!
Golden Sunshine Dried Flower bouquet - £30 from Holly & Co.
Limited edition Pulp Common People Cassette Giclée Print - £390 - Holly & Co.
Ivyline Chevron Olive Planter - 2 sizes available - from £31.49.
This is the best travel carry-on bag I have ever come across. It’s the Weekend Colombian Leather Travel Holdall, which is normally £219.95, but you can use code: BLACK20 to get 20% off right now!
Why is it so good? Well, it has a telescopic handle and wheels so can roll it along, but it also sits properly upright when stationary, which so many of them don’t. It has perfect zipped pockets on both sides for your passport, laptop etc and the wrap-around curved zip on the top is great for being able to see everything clearly. We each have one and are thrilled. Go, go, go!
Why not gift someone an annual subscription to HOME & HORT? I’ve created a printable gift certificate for you so you can pop it in a card. Easy! Link to printable gift certificate
