It’s handy that Black Friday occurs a month before Christmas. It’s a great excuse to do some Christmas shopping and save money at the same time. This year, I’ve been really stuck for ideas. Some people are so hard to buy for! Luckily, the Black Friday sale at Notino has come to the rescue! Here are some ideas if you’re finding yourself in the same predicament.

I buy a lot of candles both for myself and as gifts, I think they make the perfect present. Who doesn’t love a scented candle? Especially in the winter, they just add a really cosy vibe to the home. I love coming home from work, getting comfy and lighting a candle for the evening.

I have my favourite brands such as Bath and Body Works, DW Home and Paddywax but have decided to try out a reed diffuser from Vila Hermanos. Reed diffusers are a lot safer if you have children or pets that could knock over a candle. You can just pop them on a shelf away from small hands (or paws) and the scent fills the room. I know a couple of people who will love these, they smell great and they also look good too.

Another go to gift idea is hand care. In the winter I find myself using a lot of hand cream, my hands get so dry! I like to buy other people hand cream as gifts, especially ones with a nice scent. To go with this I also like gifting hand wash and shower gels in fancy bottles. This Neroli Amber shower gel by Vivian Gray makes the perfect gift. It looks great in any bathroom and smells wonderful too. I’ve also picked up a few little hand creams by Vivian Gray which will make great stocking fillers.

If you want to get your hands on some bargains before Christmas, then definitely check out the Black Friday sale at Notino!
