Embrace the spirit of giving without breaking the bank this Christmas. We have curated a collection of affordable Christmas gifts that bring joy without denting your budget. From the best skiwear to kitchen accessories, we have something to suit everyone.


Sloobie Skiwear

Created by local entrepreneur Renee Fraser-Shepherd, Sloobie Skiwear is a range of high quality base layers perfect for those planning a ski trip this winter. Featuring integrated shapewear, the collection is ideal for fashion-conscious ladies wanting to upgrade their skiing wardrobe. An ideal present for the active friend, Sloobie offers free delivery and is available to buy in store at Fenwick Newcastle.

With three colourways and designs, the collection covers every taste sensibility and can be bought as separate top and bottom layers. This would also make a great present for outdoor workers or those who feel the cold.

Sea The Love gift set

If your family or friends are skincare fans, then Sea The Love make a great gift. A small local business based in North Tyneside, Sea The Love uses ingredients inspired by the sea and marine actives to create high-quality, affordable skincare. A firm favourite is their Beachy Clean Melting Cleanser made with marine minerals, winged kelp, grapeseed and blueberry oil to remove makeup and impurities without leaving the skin feeling dry. The team at Sea The Love have created gift sets for Christmas, with their top products at a reduced price, ensuring a full skincare routine in one present.

Diptyque Delice candle- available at Fenwick

A high quality candle makes an ideal gift for friends, family or the person who has everything. Diptyque, a popular brand of candles and perfumes, have released a festive candle perfect for cosy winter nights. The Delice candle has hints of dried fruit and vanilla and is decorated in their signature Christmas colouring of red and gold.

Available at Fenwick, Diptyque also have smaller winter candles available in a gift set of three, a great gift for a new homeowner.

Byredo D’Afrique body wash- available at Space NK

Space NK in Leeds is a beauty lovers paradise, with well-loved brands and new, unique products available. One such brand is Byredo, a perfume and body brand that has launched onto the beauty scene with help from influencers and celebrities.

With perfumes, hand lotions, body washes and makeup, Byredo have cornered the luxury skin market with their unique scents and sleek packaging. One of their most popular items is the Bal D’Afrique body wash, inspired by the spirit of the 1920s Paris Jazz scene. With notes of neroli, African marigold and Moroccan cedarwood, this is a great unisex gift and with a seal-tight travel cap, moisturising ingredients and a scent that lasts all day, this is a guaranteed winner.

Melitta coffee machine

Every family has at least one coffee-obsessed member. A great way to enhance their coffee experience is to treat them to a new coffee machine. The Melitta Aromaboy creates delicious filter coffee in a 1970s inspired machine. This retro machine is small in size but large in impact, with the Aromaboy range making coffee since 1979. Taking up very little counter space, this would be a great gift for a student or renter and at just £44, won’t break the bank.

The full Melitta brand is available at Fenwick Newcastle and York and online.
