Stocking fillers under £10
1. Ribbed Glass Bud Vase, from £2.90

2. Ceramic Christmas Trees, from £4.90
Ribbed ceramic trees suit a minimalist mantelpiece, windowsill or table. Choose our matt white ribbed trees (from £4.90), or mix black and white with our monochrome Christmas trees (from £6.90). Buy a few in different sizes for a mini festive forest.

3. Hanging Ceramic Reindeer Decoration, £4.40
A small hanging reindeer for the tree, perfect for tucking into a Christmas card or the toe of a stocking. Pair it with our white ceramic angel (£7.90) or reactive-glazed pinecone (from £5.90).
4. Star Tealight Holder, from £5.40
Cut-out star and heart shapes cast a soft pattern of light across the room once a tealight is inside. A cosy gift for teachers, neighbours and Secret Santa.
5. Hanging Teardrop Tart Burner with Stand, from £7.90
Our best-selling wax burner. The ceramic teardrop hangs from a slim stand, so the tealight warms the wax melts gently from below. Use it with wax melts or a few drops of fragrance oil. Add a pack of wax melts and it becomes a complete home fragrance gift.

Hand-poured soy candles shaped like Santa, a snowman and a reindeer. They make a fun festive table decoration and a lovely gift for children to give to grandparents. Prefer something simpler? Try our unscented Christmas soy candles (from £5.90), ideal for fragrance-sensitive homes.
