We’ve spent the year looking for and reviewing the best luxury gifts for her and are now confident in our shortlist. It’s been a difficult year for many of us, and Christmas wish lists are looking a little different in 2020 and our 2020 Gifts for Her Gift Guide reflects this.
On a positive note, like diamonds, many brands have flourished under pressure and there are some incredible gifts out there this year. Without further ramblings, here is our pick of the best gifts for her. If she loves haircare, check out our best shampoos and conditioners. We also reviewed the best wax melts and found one clear winner! See also our beauty gift guide which shares our favourites in skincare, cosmetics and shower and bath products!
Bond Touch
Whether you’re her partner, best friend, daughter or mum, this device will bring you closer together and is ingenious in the way it works. Each of you have a bracelet that connects over the miles and allows you to feel connected even when you’re miles apart. Any other year, this would be a fantastic gift but with all that’s happened in 2020 this is now our best pick of the Gifts for Her we’ve reviewed. It’s more important than ever to keep friendships alive, to stay connected to loved ones and to show how much you’re thinking of someone even if lockdowns or illness mean you can’t see them. The Bond touch is so versatile, from giving it to a child as you wait for them outside A and E, to sharing it with your mum who’s in isolation and lonely. That’s why we give it our Top Product Award as we believe it is the best gift for her in 2020.
Moodbeam
A beautiful bracelet for keeping an eye on moods, this wearable tech is a gorgeous gift for a loved one. It helps with practicing mindfulness and can be a mind saver during the winter months.
Talolo Boots
When we first heard about these we thought really? Wellies with heels? Then we received them and realised what a gamechanger they are. They may be a gimmick for some but for others they maintain style while protecting feet on the farm! We all have that one friend who won’t wear flats, as they just love the extra height, and these solve that problem. In addition to this, they’re also absolutely gorgeous, they look amazing and the prints are vibrant and attractive too. We love them.
Victory Candle
The Victory candle is unscented but still looks amazing on a shelf, especially in a bathroom. In a range of hand gestures and colours, this candle is a must for a contemporary art lover.
Jabara Wireless Earphones
The go to for earpods is Apple, but why, when there are so many other great earphones on the market with extra features that Apple doesn’t possess. These sporty earphones are much more comfortable, they look amazing and deliver great sound quality. What more could she want?
Harry Potter Pencil Art
Beautifully drawn and one of a kind, on thick, sturdy paper, this pencil illustration from Pulse Gallery is a real luxury gift. Who doesn’t love a bit of Harry Potter? Here’s one way to enjoy Hogwarts in a more sophisticated way.
Boris Toby Jug
Whatever your political leanings you’ll have fun with this Boris Johnson mug from the House of Commons Gift shop, and that’s not all. There’s a whole range to choose from including Churchill, which we also love. Check out the shop as there are some great unique gifts this year, it’s one to keep an eye on as there’s something for the person who has everything!
Sorel Slippers
These have to be the most comfortable slippers we’ve ever tried. Fluffy on the inside and sleek and elegant on the outside it feels as though you’re walking on a floating cloud. They fit snuggly, while still leaving room for winter socks and are easy to walk in (we have reviewed slippers that make us trip and fall before). They really are a treat for feet.
Daniel Footwear Twinface Slippers
Another pair of slippers we adored were these UGG like twin face slippers from Daniel Footwear. They fit very snuggly and keep feet toasty while looking luxurious too. They’re sturdy with a strong sole so you can step outside and they are made from premium material making them an ideal alternative to UGGs. In fact, we think they’re better as they fit wide feet also!
Giesswein
These lightweight knit slippers are ideal for slipping on and carrying out everyday tasks. More practical than those above, they make moving around easy while keeping your feet warm and cosy. They’re also lightweight, and great to take on holiday.
Aftersocks
From slippers to socks we love the idea of these Aftersocks. 2020 may not have been the year of the party, but these are still useful after a day in the office, or even for padding around the house. Designed to give your feet a break after a night in heels, they completely protect your feet while adding a bit of glamour. Not only this, they also roll into a very small ball so are easier to find space for than roll up shoes. Think slipper socks, then think outdoor, add sparkle and you’ve got Aftersocks. They’re bound to be a winner when the nightclubs open again and dinner parties are back on the menu.
Nolii
It’s the simplistic design and gorgeous colour palette that first caught our eye with Nolii phone accessories. They’re definitely different but the wow factor doesn’t stop there. They’re built to last and feel strong and sturdy while being easy to use and aesthetically pleasing too. Any accessory in this range would make a perfect gift for her, from the super strong lightening cable that you can keep grounded with a weighted plinth to the couple case that doubles up as a wallet. They’re all designed with integration in mind, so they work together to completely protect, nurture and enhance your mobile phone. Quite simply, amazing.
Olverum
Could this be the very best bath oil we’ve ever tried? Yes it could. We first tried this a few years ago but the sample was so small it was difficult to get a real feel of it in a hot deep bath. Then we received a bottle, and goodness, it is heavenly. We’re not sure if it’s marketed for aching joints and bones, but it feels amazing to step into the fragrant steam this oil creates, and leaves skin soft and refreshed. It’s a go to bath oil for when you need a little pampering, this is bath oil at its best!
Gucci Memoire
From Perfume Direct. A beautiful scent that’s light but long lasting, very seductive and alluring. Also keep an eye out for Creed, another perfume we loved this year.
Ted Baker Sets
Ted Baker have launched new gift sets this year that will be available in Boots and the designs are so sophisticated that we’re sure any female in your life will adore them. The scents are subtle and invigorating, while their make up brushes are soft yet sturdy. Their cosmetic set really impressed us.
Perfect Pout

Harmony
I Love Leggings
You will be forgiven for thinking that all leggings are the same if you’ve never tried I Love Leggings. These fit so snugly and are so warm and cosy that you’ll never choose leggings from a High Street store again. They even sculpt the wobbly bits without making you feel restricted. Little tip – tumble dry on a cool setting or they will shrink. They’re our favourite go to leggings now, and she will thank you every time she pulls a soft pair on!
YuNu Pillowcase
A pillow case that keeps you cool and also protects your skin, what’s not to love? It’s also worth noting that these guys do personalised pillows too so you can choose just how firm or soft you like your nocturnal head support to be. A great gift.
Bocan Loungewear
Beautifully boxed, soft as silk, with designs to die for. We’re very excited for Bocan as they have ticked so many boxes that we’re sure they’ll become the go to luxury wear for fashionistas everywhere. Check out their designs and treat someone special, as this os one of those gifts that prompts a gasp when opening. Beautiful products, seriously soft and incredibly indulgent. We love them.
Marokka French Bulldog
We’ve called him George, he’s a fun, high standing bulldog with an iconic design and looks great on our shelf. He’s eyecatching and a conversation starter and is now part of the family. He’ll soon be part of yours too.
Asali Leather Bags and Accessories
Asali know quality, that much is evident as soon as you see the way they present their incredibly sophisticated, understated, superior leather bags and accessories. We love the cosmetics cases and the shoulder bags, they’re made of supreme leather that will age gracefully over time making these classic pieces to last a lifetime.
Slow Ageing Essential Bath Essence
The slow ageing bath essence smells divine and dissipates in hot bath water allowing you to enjoy a truly relaxed soak.
Frugi Knitwear
We’re in LOVE with Frugi lately, and not just with the ultra soft 100% cotton, organic children’s clothes. Just look at this jumper! It’s adorable, it feels sublime and it’s warm. It’s also highly original and a great piece to wear while wildlife spotting, kicking leave or puddle jumping. Keep an eye out for more Frugi items we’ve reviewed.
Cricut Joy
The Cricut Joy is the perfect starter pack for those entering the world of Die Cutting. Cricut has an impeccable reputation for a reason, as their products are of a superior quality, easy to use, dependable and reliable. The style is also eye catching, yet understated, as is their colour palette. This would make a great gift, with the accessories such as the Card Mat and the Starter Tool Set for anyone.
Fluffi
This is the softest, fluffiest, most comfortable fake fur throw that we’ve ever seen. Incredibly thick and of obvious high quality, the craftsmanship is supreme. This transforms any sofa, chair or bed, into a cosy winter wonderland that is a feast for the eyes. We’re so glad we’ve discovered Fluffi for all of our winter home throw needs and will be furnishing every room with its own Fluffi blanket.
Envelop yourself in a cloud of soft fur this Christmas.
If we had any awards left for this guide, this would definitely receive one, however, it was unfortunately delivered late. We may do a separate review when we post our room transformations in the new year.
Tala Cooks Measure
This may seem like a strange gift but it’s one she won’t be able to live without. It’s essential for any type of baking and cooking and a great handy gadget to have. A wonderful stocking filler that looks great in a modern or classic kitchen, we love the Tala Cook’s Measure and you will too.
Interflora
Interflora have some gorgeous long lasting flower arrangements this year that are fragrant and delightful while acting as a stunning centrepiece, such as this generously packed arrangement in a deep red hat box with dusky pink trim.
Spode William Morris Cups and Decorations
We adore William Morris prints, and these Golden Lily cups from Spode are the ideal gift for anyone that appreciates quality and a cup of tea in a bone china cup. They’re absolutely beautiful while the decorations look great on a tree and also throughout the year on a wall. A fabulous range with an iconic design.
