Buying for women is supposed to be an easy task but after clothes and perfume, what are those other stocking fillers and treats that you can add to your shopping list this festive season, have a look at our top picks.

Utility Tins

Utility Tins

– £19.00 – www.wilko.com

This handy garden utility box is ideal for storing your garden gadgets, seeds, gloves or anything that you want to keep away from the damp and cold.  The box is sturdy with a clasp closing and we like that it comes in a choice of green or red. To be honest, we actually think it is too nice for the garage or garden shed!
shake and make

Shake n make ice cream maker

£15.00 www.amazon.co.uk  

This is a great novelty gift, which is handy for those moments when you just need a “little bit” of ice cream at the end of a day. It will never create enough for a dinner party but for a treat, it just takes 3 minutes and the children love it too! We are trying yoghurts next.
working hands

Working Hands

– £7.99  www.uk.okeeffescompany.com
Most mums hands are never empty, whether it is carrying a little one, a bag or the washing, our hands bear the brunt of everything, so we were thrilled to find this hand cream that works perfectly to protect and repair chapped and dry hands. The weather has changed now so it is also perfect for when dry and chapped skin can take over. We found that you don’t need to use a lot of the cream for it to work and £7.99 is just a small price to pay for healthy happy hands.
10 years younger

10 years younger set

from Essentially Yours £36.99 www.essentially-yours.co.uk

We *may* have been a little excited to receive this set, which claims to make you look 10 years younger ….. guaranteed. It comes packaged in an delightful pouch and the set is presented in opulent glass bottles that ooze quality before you have even made the first application on your skin. The blend of the oil and the cream makes your skin feel amazing and we have abandoned all other products. No one has commented that we are looking 10 years younger yet but we are living in hope!
shine

Misfit shine & misfit flash fitness sleep monitor

prices vary misfit.com

The Shine is an elegant and waterproof fitness activity monitor that can be worn on the wrist, as a necklace or as a discreet accessory anywhere on the body for up to 4 months without the need for being charged. We have been wearing ours for a while now and love that it doesn’t need charging every night, it is discreet and waterproof but one of the best features is that it does not need GPS to work.
clock

Natural light alarm clocks

from £48.00 – Beurer – available at Betterlife from Lloyds Pharmacy

This has been a particular favourite with the MumsClub team, it is a great little nightlight, alarm clock and radio. Easy to use and the alarm certainly wakes everyone up in the morning. We also decided that the mood lighting would be perfect if you had an inside cabin on a cruise (just saying).
 pairz

Pairz

£10.00 – www.pairz.co.uk

Does it drive you mad when you lose a sock? Or your children don’t pair them up for the wash? Fear not! Pairz ® socks stay forever together throughout the wash, dry and store process, right until you’re ready to wear them again. The unique looped label keeps your Pairz ® firmly together at all times.
