The festive season is approaching fast and if you are anything like me there are a few people who can be very difficult to buy for. There are only so many body spray sets you can give someone before they art to get a bit paranoid. Here are a few gift ideas not all just for the kitchen or a cook. Maybe you have an office secret Santa list you need to buy for. I have the water bottle scrubbies (GIFTED) which takes away any concerns that my much used flask is clean.
Anyway, without further ado, here's my list of great gifts for tricky to buy for friends and family.
