Gifted: Cool Stuff Christmas Gift Guide

(* items were gifted, but are not affiliate links)

I still can't believe how quickly 2019 has flown by, especially with the festive C-word creeping up so quickly. Last year one of my favourite places to pick up some unique Christmas gifts from was the lovely people at Cool Stuff, so I was very excited to work with them on a Christmas gift guide this year to find a few items in a variety of budgets. Whether you're looking for ideas for a Secret Santa, stocking stuffer or main tree gift to help Santa himself, have a look inside and see what you might want to add to your own Christmas wish list.

If you're on the look out for some special secret Santa finds, or a cute gift to go into a stocking, Cool Stuff have you covered. If like me you're a bit of a nature nerd, something like this adorable *Utenu® Window Bird Feeder (£5.99) is a great, inexpensive gift, especially for those city dwellers living without gardens.

This is such a clever product, one which benefits the local wildlife as much as the person receiving it. Made of transparent plastic, it easily attaches to any window with two suction cups and holds up to 450g of bird food, and endless hours of enjoyment outside your window.

Another great item perfect for teens, secret Santas or anyone who still like to be old school and print out their photos is these *LED Photo Clip String Lights (£5.99).

They are such a cute gift idea, especially when given teamed with some ready to hang images. The LED lights hang off a four meter loop with ten pegs each home to a warm coloured lamp. They run off a USB meaning you can run them around your desk powered by your computer, or simply pop the USB into a power adaptor (not included) for a little more flexibility. Who doesn't like having their favourite people and cherished memories around them, with these lights giving the gift of happiness as much as light.

If you're looking for a present to go under the tree from Father Christmas, the *Spralla® 3D Pen (£30.99) is a great idea for any aspiring artists in your life. The pen is a nifty little tool which allows the user to create 3D drawing and small sculptures from plastic, which are great as little works of art in themselves or wonderful for using as drawing references or for stop animation. This kit comes ready with a mix of red, black and white plastic, and you can buy a ten pack of extra plastic in a variety of colours for just £6.99.
