Thus far, I’ve collated some handpicked Christmas gift ideas for under £10, under £25 and this is for those who have a little more to splurge or for someone a little more special. This is now £60 and under, so more luxe, bigger sets (=bigger savings), and a touch more extravagent. (basically these posts are tunrning into my wishlists, then I end up going out and buying allllll the stuff.)
