I think all of us have a secret list for Father Christmas, don’t we? And here are a few of my favourite things which I thought I’d share with you in case you’re stuck for a gift for somebody special or just want to treat yourself this Christmas.

If you read as many books as I do at once then you’ll need plenty of bookmarks and here’s my favourite by Handmade at Poshyarns. Take a look at her gorgeous Kindle covers too. All made in sumptuous linens and Liberty prints.

My favourite soap in the whole world is made by Saffron Barr. The perfect gift for any time of the year. I love their rose and sandalwood which scents my whole bathroom and looks good enough to eat!

If you’re looking for a heartwarming read, look no further than Tales from the Coop by Sophie Mccoy – the perfect gift for animal-lovers and all proceeds help to rehome future ex-battery hens.

I adore Penhaligon’s floral perfumes and I’ve just discovered this perfect gift box – isn’t it divine?

Another fantastic book is Searching for Captain Wentworth by Jane Odiwe – the perfect blend of history, mystery and romance. I loved it!

I’m rather addicted to Brora cashmere and I’m absolutely in love with their fingerless gloves which come in beautiful colours and patterns and are supersoft and cosy.

Last Christmas, I couldn’t resist this delightful fabric gingerbread garland which I hang in my study. Isn’t it cute? It’s made by Gisela Graham.

And I couldn’t not give my own little book a mention, could I? Christmas with Mr Darcy is out now on Kindle at a special promotional price of just 99p. Go on – treat yourself!
