Christmas Gift Guide – Gift Ideas for Teens*

2020 has been a strange year indeed with all that has happened, and I am sure you agree when I say, ‘I can’t believe where the year has gone’. Nevertheless, I know we are going to make this Christmas one of the best ones yet with whatever means and options that we have.  With the second lockdown now in place, it is best to be more organised hence we are starting to share our Christmas Gift Guides early in the hope that you will start to plan and ensure you have all the gifts you need before the Christmas rush.

We will be starting our first guide by sharing some cool Christmas Gift Ideas for Teens, starting from Horrible Histories Boardgame from Wicked Uncle which is perfect for the whole family. Some lovely Neve’s Bees Flower Power Lip Balm Set as well as a selection of handmade Avika Soap.  We love caring for the environment and hence the Ion8 Leakproof Friends of the Earth Turtle Bottle will be perfect for any teen out there and finally The Ultimate Precision Tweezer & Detangler for the teen who loves to keep on top of how they look.  Hope you enjoy our selection and stay tuned for more Christmas guides coming your way.

Horrible Histories Boardgame

We love our board games as it is a great way to get the whole family to enjoy some good quality time by having fun together over the weekend or during the Christmas holidays. If your teen loves watching Horrible Histories and enjoy foul facts and gruesome details then they will surely love this educational boardgame from Wicked Uncle.  Move from the Awful ancients to the measly middle ages, through the terrible Tudors and the vile Victorians to the modern times by answering “horrible” multiple-choice questions, acting out Charades and trying to avoid Rattus and his tricky ‘chance’ cards! The playing board is divided into four colour quadrants, each representing a historical era and colour coordinating with the question booklets. Players start at the center of the board and have to progress their way through the Savage Stone Age to rotten Romans section, then moving onto the smashing Saxon and the measly middle ages. Then it is time to negotiate the terrifying Tudors and gorgeous Georgian and finally onto the vile Victorians and terrible 20th century! Players take it in turns to throw three dice, The white dice determines the number of spaces moved and combined the dice indicate the question number to be asked. The first player to reach the present day is The winner but watch out for Rattus and his tricky chance cards which could be good or bad! Based on the award-winning Horrible Histories series, this family fun, educational board game encourages learning through play and is perfect for 2-4 players age 8 years and over.  Priced at £19.95, your kids will definitely thank you for this fun Horrible Histories Boardgame this Christmas.

Avika Soap

This is another beautiful product, locally made and is perfect for any teenager who is perhaps going through different skin changes. These colour coordinated soaps are personally handmade by Sati, she makes these soaps in batches and we are just featuring 3 different soaps here which is not only unique but super pretty to look at as well. In this teen guide, we are featuring the Golden Complexion Bar (black and gold) which is a great facial soap to help teens who have acne or very oily skin. This soap bar contains charcoal, bentonite clay and oats. The second soap bar we included is the Poppy Scrub Bar (white) which is the perfect body and hand soap for exfoliation. The last soap bar is the Cleopatra Bar (brown patterned) which is great for face, body and hands and very dry skin.  This soap bar contains oat milk, oats and honey and is priced between £5 to £5.50 each bar. You can contact Sati via her instagram account here to place your soap order.

Ion8 Leakproof Friends of the Earth Turtle Bottle

We love our reusable bottles and you will find us often featuring this in our guides as we love encouraging our readers to purchase a bottle which they love and to carry it with them when they travel or head out so they do not spend money on one-time-use plastic bottles. This vibrant Friends of the Earth Turtle Bottle from Ion8 Leakproof is perfect for any teen who loves nature, the environment and the sea.  If you have not heard,  Friends of the Earth is an international campaigning community dedicated to the protection of the natural world and the wellbeing of everyone in it. This is a great gift to give any teen who feels strongly about the environment and ending plastic pollution. Another good thing to note is that Ion8 are donating 25% profits of sales from this reusable bottle to support Friends of the Earth’s campaign.  Priced at £14.99,  this 100% leakproof Ion8 BPA free insulated stainless steel bottle is able to keep drinks hot for up to 12 hours or keeps water cold for up to 24 hours.

The Ultimate Precision Tweezer & Detangler 

Every teenage girl loves to take care of her look, hence we are featuring two very special items from Wolf & Griffin, the first is a  Rose Gold Ultimate Precision Tweezers with a magnetic case, priced at £6.99 and the second a Detangler Hair Brush priced at £8.99 from Wolf & Griffin.  The rose gold stainless steel tweezers comes with calibrated tension to assist to help you grip evenly and offer superior pulling power for perfect brow results every time.  The tweezers also comes with a 25 degree slanted tip to give you the perfect angle for expert high definition brow shaping.
