• 4 dark chocolate bars
• 70% to 85% cocoa
• British craft chocolate
• Gift ready

What owners say: Smooth, not bitter and some of the best chocolate they’ve had. A great gift for dark chocolate fans.

• Bath salts and bath bomb bar
• Soy wax candle
• Hand cream, body scrub and soap
• Vegan
• Gift box

What owners say: A lovely, generous gift with a gorgeous citrus scent. Owners say it feels like a proper treat.

• Bamboo
• Extends to fit most baths
• Book and tablet stand
• Non-slip pads

What owners say: Practical, well designed and makes a relaxing bath even better.

Why we picked it: Genuine 19 momme mulberry silk on both sides: cool to sleep on, kinder to hair, and just the sort of luxury she’d never buy herself.

• 100% mulberry silk
• 19 momme, grade 6A
• Silk on both sides
• Standard UK size (50 × 75cm)

What owners say: Beautiful quality, lovely and cool to sleep on, and noticeably kinder to hair than cotton.

Why we picked it: Classic button-down satin pyjamas in lots of colours: the “treat yourself” look for less.

• Silky satin
• Button-down top
• Elastic-waist trousers
• Lots of colours

What owners say: The comfiest pyjamas ever, with a smooth feel and a lovely look.

Heads up: Sizing varies a little, so check the size chart on the listing.

• 100% mulberry silk
• Set of 4
• Gentle on hair
• Travel pouch

What owners say: Lovely quality, beautifully soft, and they hold without pulling.

Why we picked it: Three wicks and a soft vanilla scent, in a smart gold-foil gift box, so there’s no wrapping required.

• Three wicks
• Soy wax
• Vanilla, cream and bourbon
• Gift boxed

What owners say: A strong, lovely vanilla scent and it looks far more expensive than it is.

Heads up: Let it burn until the whole top melts the first time, so it burns evenly.

• Real chocolate flakes
• 50% cocoa milk
• 20 single-serve sachets
• Works in a Velvetiser

What owners say: A rich, not-too-sweet flavour that becomes their go-to drink.

Heads up: Whisk it well, or use a milk frother, for the smoothest cup.

Why we picked it: A set of sterling silver studs and huggie hoops to mix and match, so there’s a pair for every outfit.

• 925 sterling silver
• Several pairs
• Studs and huggie hoops
• Hypoallergenic

What owners say: Good quality with a nice shine, a lovely variety of styles and great value.

Heads up: Want a big name? Pandora’s infinity studs are the popular choice, at just over £25.
