Nottingham Gift Guide 2025 — 25 of the best presents, hand-picked by The Notts Edit
Homeware, food, accessories, and more...
Still searching for the perfect presents? There are plenty of Nottingham gifts that are beautiful and unique.
I have picked out a range of physical gifts that have been made in Nottinghamshire and/or are made by Nottingham brands. While vouchers and experiences are fab, there is just something very special about unwrapping something real in my opinion.
Some of these are available in independent shops, but I have provided all the links you need to be able to shop them online. All prices are RRP and correct at the time of publishing.

The 2025 Nottingham Gift Guide
By Eve Smallman
Nottingham Art Print, Emmy Lupin
From £10
I actually have this print, and it makes me feel all warm inside every time I look at it, thanks to its joyful colours and local landmarks. It’s available in five sizes and printed on quality archival matte paper.
Festive Jigsaw Puzzle, Framework
£30
Give your favourite puzzler the gift of a challenge with this 1,000-piece puzzle. All the proceeds will go to the charity’s Winter Appeal to create new supported living homes in Nottingham.
Sweet Orange Candle, Scented Studio
£18
Top notes of orange, middle notes of cinnamon and clove, and base notes of spice and woods make this a deliciously seasonal scent. The sweet orange oil can also help relax and calm – just what’s needed over Christmas.
Winter Pine and Eucalyptus Diffuser, Every Nook
£25
Reed diffusers are a lovely choice, as they keep your room scented with little maintenance. This has woody and herbal notes, and comes in a very pretty vessel.
Matcha Latte Espresso Mug, Pitcairn Ceramics
£30
This is for the people who can’t live without having a matcha latte in hand. It is technically a cappuccino shape, but I also think it’s just the right size for tea and other hot drinks.
Linen Cocktail Napkin, The Embroidered Napkin Company
£13
Personalised gifts are always thoughtful, and you can get a special message embroidered on this. You could also tailor the fabric colour, and thread colour to your giftee’s interior.

Lambswool Hot Water Bottle, Wee Woolies
£38
Say goodbye to the chillies with this stylish 100% felted merino lambswool hot water bottle. It also comes with the rubber bottle, so you don’t have to get one yourself.
Navy Strength Gin, Ruddy Fine
From £18
While Ruddy Fine has a special Christmas gin, I personally like a strong year-round bottle – and this ticks that box brilliantly. It’s 57%, has spicy notes, and pairs well with tonic and a twist of orange.
Mixed Six Pack, Black Iris Brewery
£24.50
This is one for the beer and/or metal lovers in your life. The mix frequently changes, so be sure to double-check before checking out. You can even get a matching glass to complement it.
Black Cherry and Vanilla Rum, The Sacred Ape
£35
I tried this at a Christmas market recently, and couldn’t believe how flavourful it was. The sweetness of black cherries and creamy Madagascar vanilla make this a delightful post-meal tipple.
All About Delilah Hamper, Delilah
From £72
Delilah celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, and this bundle has coffee, tea, chutneys, and more made by the deli. I highly recommend adding the Deli-berator – either as a can or bottle – as this is very tasty.
Chilli Garlic Oil, Gee and Gee’s
£5
Chilli oil can be used to level up anything, from pizzas to Pot Noodles (trust me!). This one has a Great Taste award, with plenty of richness and a warming aftertaste.
Sweet Support for Charity, Treat Kitchen
£8.50
Why say ‘Merry Christmas’ when you can say ‘Ay up’? This bottle is filled with chewy rings in fruity and tropical flavours. Plus, 30p from every bottle goes to Nottingham charity Base 51, which supports young people around the area.
Sicilian Orange 75% Solomon Islands Wreath, Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates
£11.50
Winner of a Great Taste Award and Silver Academy of Chocolate Award, this wreath by Luisa’s balances the natural fruity tones of Solomon Islands cacao with candied peel. This chocolate changed how I thought about chocolate, and also comes in bar form.
Sunset Espresso, Stewart’s
From £8.43
Ever had a coffee at Blend and thought, ‘Mmm, that’s a good cup of joe?’ You were most likely drinking Stewart’s. This is its most popular espresso blend, with notes of almond with a smooth finish.
Gold Initial and Star Necklace, PeekaJewellery
From £24
Know someone who is a total superstar? Show them how much they shine with this pretty handmade necklace. It can also have extra initials added onto it, and you can ask for different lengths upon ordering.
Wild West Cotton Scarf, Ellastrated
£32
I have seen so many people around Nottingham wearing this scarf! This is made from 80% recyclable cotton and has so many cute country illustrations on it. It’s certainly a fun option for those who adore being cosy.
Ecru Polka Dot Socks, Raf & Grace
£16
These socks are giving major West End Girl energy. Made from a luxe cotton blend, they will fit a UK size 3-8. They’re also available in the opposite colours, if you prefer a sock that doesn’t show dirt up super easily.
Sustainable Hair Scrunchie, Rebekah Peters
£9
Scrunchies are cute and will damage hair less than elastic hair ties. These come in over 15 shades and are made from OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cotton. I also have Rebekah Peters’ midi skirts on my wish list, which are made to order.
Nottingham Heritage Scarf, Art of Football
£25
Whether it’s match-day or not, this is the sophisticated football scarf that can be worn around town as a statement. I also quite like the Forest Scarf Socks, which also have a retro vibe.
Oak Wood Eau De Parfum, Sunspel
£80
Did you know that world-renowned fashion house Sunspel is based in Long Eaton? Its Oak Wood scent has warming notes of bergamot and neroli, and was made with leading perfumer Lyn Harris.
Wool Fisherman Sweater, Highland 2000
£150
Despite its Scottish name, Highland 2000 is actually based in Eastwood. Its British wool sweaters are simply stunning, and come in cinnamon, ecru, grey, navy, and midnight colours. Its hats also make great gifts.
Personalised Wooden Train, RobRoyToyMakers
From £2.99
Whether you’re shopping for little ones or someone who loves a bit of nostalgia, this little wooden train is so sweet. You might want to get a few carriages, to create a complete name train.
Twinkle Bandana, Wiff Waff
From £6.95
Make sure your special pup is part of Christmas celebrations with this sweet bandana, which comes in small, medium, and large sizes. It easily slips onto collars and can be machine washed.
Robin of Duxley Pin, Dukki
£5
Robin Hood? Duck? Count me in. Made with alder wood set on a metal pin, this robust pin is perfect for placing on your collar or bag for a Nottingham nod.
