Christmas Gift Finder
Book-Inspired Gifts by Budget and Person
We have some ideas here to help you choose a gift to suit the recipient and your budget.
You can choose a soap by its scent, by the book, or by both. If your dad likes a woodsy aftershave, go for The Fir Tree or The Secret Garden. If your mum read Little Women to you as a child, or your best friend swooned over A Room with a View, your work is done.
If you have any questions or need help choosing, get in touch. We’re always happy to help.
Stocking fillers
Christmas gifts under £15
The Christmas Mini Trio, £10
Three little book-inspired soaps in one gift. It makes the cutest little Christmas present and a lovely one for all recipients as it's a touch luxurious, festive and useful!
- A Christmas Carol: smoky juniper with warm black pepper, a fresh winter scent that calls up the frosted rooftops of Dickens's London.
- Emma: frankincense with floral ylang ylang, inspired by the candlelit parlours of Highbury.
- The Fir Tree: fir needle and cedarwood, a green, woody soap with the feel of Christmas.
For the special women
Gifts for mums, mothers-in-law and aunts
A set feels more a little more elevated than a single bar so our Christmas Collection (£36) is a good starting point. We also have our Christmas Anthology (£48) with A Christmas Carol, Emma, The Fir Tree, and Sense and Sensibility. For a lifelong Austen reader, the Jane Austen Collection (£44) has four beautiful bars to try. These collections all come ready-wrapped with a Dickens postcard for you to write a little note. Alternatively, if you need a little extra stocking filler for her - or you're wanting an extra to go with a book - then our frankincense-scented Emma (£12) is a lovely choice.
For all the kind people at school
Gifts for a teacher
A single bar says thank you without adding to the pile of mugs.
A Christmas Carol (£12) is a favourite with English teachers.
Or the Jane Austen Special Edition Duo (£24) is a lovely step up.
For all the office family
Secret Santa gifts
Most Secret Santa limits sit around £10 to £15, and our Travel Trios (£9) and Christmas Mini Trios (£10) fit nicely - or our The Fir Tree (£12) is perfectly unisex.
If your limit is a bit higher, A Christmas Soap Sampler (£26) comes ready gift-wrapped.
For all the little darlings
Gifts for teens, nieces and nephews
A book-inspired soap is a small gift that feels a bit different, and young readers tend to notice that. Pick the story that suits them:
- A Room with a View (£10): bright bergamot, sunshine and romance in soap form.
- Wuthering Heights (£10): zesty lime and black pepper, a scent that works for anyone.
- Sense & Sensibility (£12): warm ginger and lavender, softened with a vanilla note.
Not sure which book they love? The Christmas Mini Trio (£10) is an easy stocking gift, and A Christmas Soap Sampler (£26) gives an older teen four book-inspired soaps to try. And Christmas morning is always better with new toiletries to try out.
For all the chaps
Gifts for men who read
We find that the chaps love our soap. A Christmas Carol (£12) is smoky juniper and black pepper, an easy win for a Dickens fan. The Fir Tree (£12) is Christmas in a bar with its clean, woodsy scent. Wuthering Heights (£10) is lime and black pepper, zesty and not at all floral. The Elements Collection (£30) is ideal if you are looking for a more substantial gift that comes ready gift-wrapped.
For the green-fingered
Gifts for gardeners
To the Lighthouse (£10) is made with mint, a hint of herbs and kaolin clay. It's gently exfoliating, which makes it a good bar for gardeners' hands after a day outside, and it smells as fresh as Isle of Skye sea air. Or try The Secret Garden (£10), where cypress, cedarwood and petitgrain create a fresh, green, woody depth that's rather intoxicating.
