Buying a Christmas gift for her, whether she is your partner, your sister or your best friend, is easier when you start with what she already loves: a scent she always comes back to, flowers on the table, plants on every sill, or a home that is calm and uncluttered. Here are gift ideas for every budget, from a £3.50 stocking filler to a statement piece, sorted by the kind of person she is. Prices were correct when we published this guide, and each product page always shows the current price.
The short answer
Under £10: a crystal wax melt bar with real gemstone chips (£3.50) or a mini glass terrarium (£7.75). Under £20: a wax burner with three melts (£16.40) or a geometric terrarium (from £12). Under £40: a vase on whitewashed wood (£26.50) or a glass vase terrarium in dark wood (£35). To spoil her: a hanging glass vase (£48) or the V-shaped vase (£52).
For the one who loves a beautiful scent
A wax melt in a scent she will love, £3.50
Each 50g snap bar of crystal wax melt is set with real gemstone chips that appear as the wax melts. Lapis Night (midnight jasmine) is soft and evening-ish; Golden Glow (fresh citrus) is bright and clean. Any three are £9.45, and a pebble wax burner (£6.95) makes it a complete gift.
Candle sand she pours herself, £12
Starlight Elixir (chocolate, caramel and vanilla) or Blush Bloom (berries, violet and jasmine): a 300g pouch with four wicks for a bowl she already loves, at least 10cm across with at least 5cm of sand. Our candle sand ideas show what she can do with it.
For the one who always has flowers
A vase on whitewashed wood, £26.50
The small vase on whitewashed wood holds a few stems or a bunch of dried grasses, and its pale wood suits a light, Scandi-style room. The medium version (£35.75) takes three tulips or a generous bunch of lavender.
A bud vase, £12
The small flower vase on wood holds a single stem upright, a small daily pleasure on a desk or kitchen windowsill.
For the plant lover
A geometric terrarium, from £12
The small diamond (£12), large pentagon (£19.95) and large diamond (£29) have clear glass panels in brass-finish frames. For under £10, the mini terrarium on tung wood (£7.75) is a lovely small start. Plants are not included; see gifts for plant lovers for what to add.
A glass vase terrarium in dark wood, £35
The glass vase terrarium in dark tung wood is a slim, wavy, green-tinted glass vase set into a solid block of wood, beautiful with an air plant or a few dried stems.
For the one with a calm, uncluttered home
A ring dish for her bedside, £18
The mini blue and mini amber glass bowls on wood, about 12cm long, give rings and earrings a home at the end of the day.
A single sculptural piece, £52
The V-shaped vase, about 24.5cm tall in an upright block of wood, works as a sculpture with or without a branch: one beautiful thing rather than several small ones.
To really spoil her
- A hanging glass vase, £48: the hanging vase on wood brings a single stem or a trailing cutting up to eye level.
- A statement terrarium, £45: the extra large ball top terrarium holds a whole moss landscape under its wooden ball top.
- A set for her bedside, £30: the mini blue bowl (£18) and the bud vase (£12) together.

Common questions
What is a good Christmas present for her?
Something that matches what she already loves: a scent for her evenings, a vase for her flowers, a terrarium for her plants or a ring dish for her bedside.
What can I get her for under £20?
A wax burner with three crystal wax melts (£16.40), a small diamond terrarium (£12), a glass bud vase on wood (£12) or a pouch of fragranced candle sand (£12).
What do you get a woman who has everything?
One special piece she would not buy herself, such as a hand-blown glass vase on wood, or something she will use up, such as wax melts. See our guide to gifts for someone who has everything.
