Us + The Earth Crystal Tea Infuser

Yup it’s more tea, can you tell we’re addicted lol?! You don’t have to enjoy teas or know your secret Santa’s hot drink habits – using this stunning double walled borosilicate glass bottle is a great way for anyone to get more water into their diet.  Chopping cucumber, mint and lime to make their favourite fruit infusions or simply adding some ice cubes as a refresher for the gym.  The selection of amethyst or aventurine crystals energises and structures the water while you drink. 

If you’re looking for uncommon christmas gifts, but want to stay classy AND committed to health – that’s our vibe 😁

Christmas Spiced Chocolate Buttons

What’s the most exciting thing about Christmas day…CORRECT! The Christmas Crackers!!! Well how about a Christmas cracker STUFFED with raw organic chocolate buttons spiced with ginger, cinnamon and a host of Christmas flavours.  The Christmas spiced buttons from The Raw Chocolate Co are one of our absolute favourite 2023 Christmas treats. 

We’re literally the ONLY place you can get hold of these buttons in this format this year, cos they’re so tricky to pack even their manufacturers decided they’re too much hassle – but we’ve gone and done the hard work cos we KNOW how much you’re going to love them as 2023 Christmas chocolate gift ideas for this year’s secret santa.
