Are you stuck on what to get the adults this Christmas? I have the answers! #Ad

This year has been a tough one and I honestly think Christmas will be the first thing I have got excited about since March! I’m just hoping everything is able to go on as “normal” despite the pandemic.

I always struggle for what the buy people. The kids are easy! I can sort the ideas for them easily as they know what they want but adults are a whole other issue. This year I’m here to help if your struggling. Items have been sent to me for inclusion in this gift guide but they have been carefully selected and they are only what I would buy myself.

Chocolates-

First up we have Chocolate- you can’t go wrong with chocolate. There aren’t many people who don’t like it and these Guylian chocolates are divine!

Guylian was created in  1967 with their signature delicious praline recipe and delicate shapes to create the seashells that are so famous today. 

As well as quality, sustainability is a priority for Guylian, which is why the brand has removed palm oil from all chocolate recipes, replacing it with  shea  butter and sunflower oil, resulting in a smoother  texture and even better tasting chocolates, which  also  contain less saturated fat and sugar.  

These makes the perfect gift for any relative as they are so universal! Men or women, old and young.Guylian’s Belgian chocolates are available at all major supermarkets, selected independent stores nationwide and online via www.guylian.com.

Willies Cocao –

I always had to Include Willies because of my surname! Willies Cocoa comes in many forms from your simple milk and white bars to your truffle sets. Willies make some of the best chocolate in the world from single estate cacao beans and totally natural ingredients – the chocolate is made from bean to bar taking around 3 weeks versus industrial chocolate that is made in a few hours… So you get incredible pure flavours from our chocolate quite unlike normal chocolate!

The white chocolate is perfect for people looking for low sugar chocolate- it has the same amount of sugar as the 70% dark chocolate making it super low sugar! Perfect for little ones too! You can buy Willies Cocao Sets from http://www.williescacao.com/ there’s so much choice from bars to gifts and even cooking Chocolate! This is amazing for your Christmas deserts too!

Space masks

Now I have been an advocate for space masks for years- I love them. Space masks are a single use mask that heats up over your eyes to ease you into a calm relaxation or sleep. Space masks come in different scents jasmine, Camomile and Rose.

From the moment you open the box and read how to use the mask you will be temptingly invited on a journey of relaxation. There are detailed instructions on the box and the pouches. The pouches have a best before date. We doubt it will come to that. Inside the pouch you will find the Spacemask. Now just place the Spacemask over your eyes and the loops over your ears. Recline and enjoy.

The clever heating process works by a thin layer of iron filings entwining with the oxygen molecules in the air. It is totally safe. The ever so relaxing jasmine is in a low concentration. So you can enjoy its fragrance without irritating the skin.

You can buy space masks from https://www.spacemasks.com/ and at the moment if you buy 5 boxes you get one free!
