The perfect gifts for aunty this Christmas

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your aunty… the woman who spoils you, sends slightly chaotic birthday texts, and always has snacks in her bag “just in case”? 

You’ve come to the right place. Whether she’s the glam aunty, the cosy-home aunt, or the one who insists she “doesn’t need anything,” this guide is packed with gifts guaranteed to make her smile or proudly say, “Oh, you shouldn’t have!” (even though you absolutely should). 

Here’s some help to find something fabulous!

Something special to drink

If she likes a tipple, how about a Bellamie cherry liqueur? Bellamie® is an elegant apéritif inspired by the French ‘Guignolet’ liqueur and its signature ripe cherry flavour.

BELLAMIE 0081

Enhanced by a touch of cognac, cherry blossom, and the delicate bitterness of cherry and apricot stones, Bellamie reveals layers of bright red fruit, marzipan, and sweet spice – a lower-ABV cherry apéritif that feels indulgent yet perfectly balanced.

For a luxurious spritzer simply add to prosecco and soda water with a sprig of rosemary for the festive feel. 

Available: £34.99 at www.distillersdirect.com

Eco Festive Wellbeing Hamper 

Delight her with a beautiful hamper packed with luxurious wellbeing treats. From pampering biodegradable face masks, to natural aromatherapy candles, delicious fairtrade dark chocolate mini-bars, and luxury plastic-free Christmas tea temples, this extra special gift box allows her to enjoy some well-deserved “me-time.”

A Christmas gift for all year round with Racing Club

Give her the special thrill of becoming a racehorse owner with Racing Club! 

For as little as £25, she’ll receive a share in a horse and step into the exciting world of racing. From the moment she opens her  welcome pack, mum will enjoy regular updates on her horse’s training, progress, and race days… and even receive a share of any prize money.

Owners can apply for exclusive race day badges, enjoy luxury hospitality at venues like Newbury, and enter ballots for stable visits to meet trainers, jockeys, and their horse.

Each share includes full syndicate benefits, and Racing Club merchandise or gift cards let her celebrate or choose their own horse to support.

Available: From £25, Racing Club

Mystical, magical…

For some rather different offerings in the perfume world, how about these vegan-friendly scents. If she loves seeking our niche new smells and unleashing new powers, The Society of Alchemists is the place. 

Auryn EDP 2

This luxurious EDP (The Auryn) comes in a black bottle with a velvet-lined luxury box. Scents change while you’re wearing them but generally the vibe was bergamot as a strong top note, interjected with some rose, violet and patchouli with some underlying vanilla tones.

Available: £34.95 from https://thesocietyofalchemists.co.uk/ 

Sustainable surprises

 Handmade in the UK using sustainable soya wax, the Yorkshire Rhubarb scented Candle is vegan, cruelty-free and free from synthetic fragrances. The tin is also recyclable.

 Manufactured using solar power, the Yorkshire rhubarb fragrance emulates the sweet, tangy scent of Yorkshire rhubarb and was created in homage to Bio-D’s Yorkshire roots..

Available: £12.24 at www.biod.co.uk

Retro Radio

The Baby Brighton Retro Style Portable Radio is where timeless design meets modern function. Available in elegant grey or black, this compact piece echoes the sophistication of mid-century style, with smooth curves, chrome detailing, and a minimalist silhouette that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly current.

Don’t let its vintage charm fool you — behind the classic exterior lies reliable AM/FM analogue tuning, a built-in rechargeable battery for seamless portability, and an auxiliary input for playing her own music with ease. 

Available: £40 at arighibianchi.co.uk
