FEATURE: Christmas Gift Guide 2025 #3


Merry Christmas! We're back again for more stocking fillers to delight your loved ones this festive season. Always a mixed bag of treats, let's see what Father Christmas has in mind this time...



HORL®3 Knife Sharpener

We think the HORL®3 is one of those rare kitchen gifts that feels both beautifully crafted and genuinely useful. Its magnetic angle support keeps blades perfectly aligned, while the diamond and ceramic discs make sharpening effortless — even for people who’ve never used a whetstone. We love that you can choose between 15° and 20° angles depending on the knife style, giving home cooks the kind of precision usually reserved for professionals. The wooden finish adds a warm, premium touch that makes it look great on the counter. It’s an ideal present for enthusiastic cooks, foodies or anyone who believes a sharp knife makes all the difference in the kitchen.

TOZO OpenEgo Open-Ear Headphones

We’re impressed by how comfortable and practical the OpenEgo headphones are for everyday use. Their open-ear design keeps you aware of your surroundings, making them great for walking, commuting or working from home without feeling shut off. Despite the airy fit, the large drivers deliver surprisingly full sound with clear vocals and a pleasing low end. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection stable, while dual microphones offer solid call clarity. They’re lightweight, modern and easy to wear for long periods. For anyone who prefers discreet, unfussy audio gear that fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle, these are a brilliant and budget-friendly Christmas pick.

Custtom Felt Letters

We love how personal and thoughtful these felt letters feel — a simple idea that becomes genuinely meaningful when you spell out a name, message or favourite word. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the felt has a soft, premium texture with a reassuring sturdiness. The thickness gives each letter a lovely presence on the wall and helps soften sound in echo-prone rooms, making them especially charming for nurseries, playrooms or cosy family spaces. They’re creative, sustainable and endlessly customisable, letting you build a gift that feels truly one-of-a-kind. For anyone who enjoys personalised décor or meaningful keepsakes, these letters are an inspired Christmas choice.

Helly Hansen Elevate Hoodie

This hoodie is a fantastic all-rounder — the kind of wardrobe staple we all reach for again and again. The fabric feels soft, warm and smooth against the skin, and the relaxed fit makes it easy to layer over tees or under big winter coats. Details like the ribbed cuffs, drawstring hood and clean lines give it a polished, everyday look without trying too hard. It’s equally at home on cold morning walks, casual weekends or cosy evenings indoors. For anyone who values comfort but still wants something that looks put-together, this hoodie makes a reliable and always-appreciated Christmas gift.

Connetix Light Star Pack – 28 Pieces

We’re big fans of this magnetic tile set because it sparks creativity instantly. Kids can build glowing star shapes, towers or abstract structures, all while learning about colours, symmetry and spatial reasoning through play. The tiles connect smoothly and feel sturdy enough to handle enthusiastic little hands. The light-reflective surfaces add a magical touch, especially in darker rooms or under fairy lights — perfect for that festive sense of wonder. It’s a gift that grows with children, encouraging imaginative play, problem-solving and hours of joyful construction. If you’re buying for a family or a child who loves building and exploring, this is a standout Christmas pick.
