Aussie skincare fairies Go-To can do no wrong in our eyes, and have just launched three chic, handbag-approved rollerball fragrances (that we're already getting compliments on). The line up? The spicy, warmth of Into The Woods, the heady floral notes of Into The Garden and of course the sweet, gourmand dream of Into The Bakery. Our Secret Santa gifts sorted.

Sure, it’s not sexy, but a coffee tamper is beyond practical and will get used most days. What’s not to love? We’ve got our eye on this for a Kris Kringle pick for that colleague we don’t know too well, but we know never skips their morning Bialetti brew.

No one ever updates their tea towels on purpose, unless, of course, one goes up in flames while you’re attempting Nan’s famous ragu recipe. That’s why gifting this chic Sheridan set of two is a stroke of genius! Practical, pretty and guaranteed to get way more use than a novelty mug.

Pick, mix and make it theirs. We love this DIY praline box (100g) from cult-fave chocolatier Koko Black, because nothing says I know you like a hand-picked box of sweets.
