The TCC Gift Guide

Cliche maybe, but I genuinely prefer giving to receiving – obviously I love and I'm appreciative of all gifts, but for me, there's just no feeling like giving someone you love a gift you know they'll love!

So, I've put together a small gift guide for powerful and stylish women, all under £50! There's something for everyone, and I won't judge if you “gift” yourself too at the same time...

Smokey Blue Birds Silk Eye Mask, Sara Miller

Sara Miller prints are simply stunning! They're distinctive to her, and her products, the products which offer a wide range from crockery, to jewellery, beauty to bags and stationary to name a few. This eye mask in silk, with the iconic Sara Miller bird print is beautifully practical and would make a perfect, special gift. I feel as though an eye mask for sleeping is an essential you don't realise you need until you've tried one, because you can just never go back afterwards! They're relaxing, perfect for blocking out light and perfect for travel sleeping too. The luxurious silk of this gorgeous design will be so soft on the skin, which is exactly what your delicate eye area needs! The elastic is silk covered too, protecting your hair at the same time, and this feminine, incredible printed eye mask even comes in a gift box just as pretty, making a perfect gift and even decorative storage in your bedroom too – comfort and style go hand in hand here, not just for you, but for your interiors as well, so it's a win-win, really!

Colour Pop Wash Bag, Katie Loxton

I love this cosmetic bag in a gorgeous golden hue with sophisticated pink lining – perfect for home make up storage or for having in your handbag, as well as travelling too. With a gold hardware zip and fun “Bag Of Tricks” slogan, it's perfect for storing your favourite beauty products in, because you can't store your best products in anything less than luxury looking!

I'm so thankful I discovered this gorgeous brand where gorgeous gifting to yourself as well as others isn't only understandable, but acceptable too! The brand is all about stylish, little luxuries, full of feminine, fun and fashionable sentiments! There's a range of everything by Katie Loxton – innovative bags and travel bags, purses and pouches, bridal and honeymoon gifts, baby gifts, jewellery and stationary too – everything makes a great gift for any stylish and powerful lady in your life.

The Independent Tool Kit, Glo' By Lydia

Give the gift of glowing skin this Christmas, perfect for women who's beauty regime includes glorious, glowing tanning! Lydia Millen created this tool kit as an avid self-tanner herself, and while she has nailed self tan perfectly so that she always looks radiant and natural in her skin, the tool kit derived from her own knowledge of the perfect preparation and application.

For women who self tan regularly, it comes with a high quality exfoliation glove, a double sided back exfoliator and a waterproof applicator mitt, all stored in a luxury, vegan leather cosmetic bag with compartments - perfect for taking away with you, or for storing your favourite products and tools. The tools are washable, while the whole set is in a sophisticated, can't-go-wrong, chic, black. This would be so suited to any self-tanner while the quality from Lydia will guarantee long-lasting use!

Planner, The Inspired Stories

For organising addicts like myself, a planner just can't be basic – it just can't! The Inspired Stories focusses on beautiful stationary that encompasses beauty and organising with their range of personalised, stunning, high quality stationary. Feminine and detailed, their range of planners, journals and notebooks think of everything, from soft leather backings, segments for weekly/monthly goal setting, time blocking segments, gold foiling detailing, pen holders and pockets in the back for additional paperwork.

Personalisation is available for that extra touch of special taste, while the ivory paper, bookmark ribbon and elastic band closure take basic stationary requirements to a whole new level. And it's as though they don't give you enough – their website all includes free resources such as vision boards and backgrounds; powerful and stylish women everywhere need these products!

Brass Pen, Ella Iconic

A basic biro just isn't going to cut it for stylish, powerful women anymore! It doest have to cost loads, but a smart, stylish pen for your handbag is professional as well as classy. Ella Iconic is a stationary brand that's as beautiful and functional as it is empowering – with the products all being based around being “The CEO of my own life” which is what I love most about them! Ella Iconic understands the benefits of organisation, and beautiful organisation at that. Ella Iconic offers a range of planners, organisers, notebooks and stationary, that even include refills and inserts, as well as special food and fitness planning too! Anything from this brand would make a beautiful gift at the reasonable prices too, and I already know who exactly I'm gifting this pen to as it comes in 3 colour options as well!

Cherry Blossom Petal Soft Hand Cream,L'Occitane En Provence

Because you can't go wrong with hand creams, and you especially can't go wrong with luxury ones from L'Occitane!

This Cherry Blossom hand cream has a pretty print on the tube making it a perfect handbag staple, while it's enriched with Shea Butter and a beautiful floral scent too.

L'Occitane are the masters of mixing luxury with affordability, and carefully skim the lines between the two, making luxuriousness accessible for everyone who wants to indulge in grooming and self care.

Pomegranate Noir Travel Candle , Jo Malone

Nothing says luxury like Jo Malone, and this travel sized candle would make a perfect gift for all candle lovers. Jo Malone know how to do beautifully scented candles – we can all trust them for that. Their scents are strong, powerful and most importantly, long lasting! I can light mine and know the smell will gently circle my room and create the most soothing ambiance, whilst looking so chic and stylish too! Their products are gorgeously gift wrapped and packed too, that you don't just get a candle for a gift, you get an experience at the same time!

Pack Of Chenille Socks, H&M

There's a reason that socks are such a popular Christmas gift! December is the season for getting cosy, and in my opinion, you can never have too many of these utterly comfortable pairs of socks!

They're incredibly soft, and come in a range of colours too – even wrapped in a gift-worthy ribbon. Perfect for “me-time” wearing on the sofa, under blankets while watching The Holiday with a glass of red and some Ferrero Rocher's in front of the fire!

Cold Hands Boxed Mug, Radley

Radley are iconic and respected for their bags, purses and accessories, full of quality and personality with their Scottie dog representative! But their gifting, specifically their mugs and cups deserve just as much adoration - they make perfect presents for sophisticated women everywhere. This boxed mug is subtle and stylish and would look chic in any kitchen, or on any coffee table. The slogan of "Cold Hands Warm Heart' makes it even more special and meaningful to a special woman; it features gold-foil detailing, the Radley logo printed inside and and is crafted in new bone china, whilst coming in a gift box perfect for easy gifting!
