Cruelty Free Christmas Gift Guide: Edit 3

~ POST CONTAINS GIFTED PRODUCTS & AFFILIATE LINKS ~

Im back again with a third edition in my Christmas gift guide series (there will be one more this week – so keep an eye out). I could seriously write these gift guides all year long, they are super fun to create and its been amazing to work with so many incredible brands. Just as in my Edit 1 and Edit 2 gift guides, all the products mentioned are cruelty free and in this guide I’ll also be sharing some products from small businesses. I believe we should all try our best to support these amazing small businesses over the festive period. Last weekend we purchased all our gifts at our local Christmas market (Exeter), all the gifts are handmade and local, it just feels great to support these amazing creative businesses. I hope you enjoy these products and maybe discover some brands you haven’t heard of before.

Dorkface Pins

I would absolutely love to receive any one of Jemmas pins in my Christmas stocking this year, her bright and fun designs are sure to put a smile on anyones face. I am in love with the “shoot for the moon” pin I brought a couple of months back along with the caffeine sticker, which is very me. Jemmas artwork is amazing, she is so talented and such a lovely person ~ she also sells a variety of stationary products as well as stickers and original artwork. Check out Jemmas Instagram.

The prices of products vary, pins are usually £6/£7 and planners £5 and sticker £3

I was sent the Rose Above fragrance, which is lovely, it also has a touch of woodiness, which i am loving at the moment. What fragrance would you choose?

Instyler Straight Up Brush

Throughout the years I have gone through so many hair straighteners, I still do use them from time to time, but I now have another solution, which is not only easy, but is super quick.

The instyler STRAIGHT UP Heated Ceramic Straightening Brush gives you smooth, straight, frizz-free hair in half the time it takes to use a flat iron. Ceramic heated plates surround individual ionic bristles that simultaneously section and straighten as they glide down the hair. This would make an ideal Christmas gift.

Something a little different for your health conscious friends and family, Internal Youth boost is a natural food supplement, which you use daily and can help destress and improve your immune system, it is all natural and you just need to drop 4 drops under your tongue or in 50ml of water in the mornings.

Boost is a unique wellbeing supplement formed with ingredients among the most powerful and research-backed in Ayurveda. It’s simple, Boost’s aim is to make you feel at your best physically and mentally.  It’s a concentrated liquid turmeric extract which gets into your system and takes effect quicker than many other forms of turmeric, e.g. capsules.

BellaByJade

I wanted to include another small business in this guide, as I absolutely love the jewellery BellaByJade makes, it is so unique and any item would make such a lovely gift, I also love that a portion from each sale goes to charity. I know I would love to receive some in my stocking thats for sure. Those tassels though!

ABOUT ~ I started this small business to not only bring all the creations I had in my head to life and allow people to share them with me but to also give something back and help as many people as I can; hence each piece of jewellery I make and sell has an affiliate charity which I have teamed with meaning a portion of the profit goes to this charity each time a piece is bought. Let’s rid the sea of plastic, look after our earth & help those in need whilst looking fab of course.
