It’s the most wonderful time of year again people. A time for slowing down, putting feet up, devouring copious amounts of fine food & drink and of course giving presents to your nearest and dearest. For those still in need of that spark of gifting inspiration we’ve curated a selection of perfect products to suit all different tastes. From that foodie friend to the difficult dad who has everything, we’ve got you covered. Without further ado, here’s our Christmas Gift Guide.
Liforme Yoga Matt from £85
If you’re after a ridiculously good yoga mat for a present this year and also care about a brand’s eco credentials, then this beauty from Liforme is for you. The matt is made of non-toxic and planet-friendly materials, which maintains grip even when your sweaty. In fact the specially-engineered surface gets grippier the sweatier you are!
It’s a bit heavier than your typical foam mat, but world’s apart in terms of quality and offers more stability. Along with that its intuitive alignment design, helps you to perfect your form. Liforme to date, have planted over 200,000 trees and donated over $500,000 to charity. So gifting one of these is like giving the planet a hug.
Oral B Genius X Toothbrush – £90
For under a hundred quid you’re going to struggle to get a better toothbrush than the Oral-B Genius X. We’re usually slightly wary of artificial intelligence, but can’t fault it here, being used to recognise your brushing style through motion sensors to give a superior clean and healthier gums.
It also features six visible brushing modes and a lithium-ion battery that lasts more than 2 weeks with 1 full charge. Over 82% of people who used Oral-B Genius X had a noticeable oral health improvement after 6-8 weeks. It’s stats like that why your dentist is going to be wondering why you never give him any business anymore.
