You can also find a range of board games to keep the family entertained on Christmas day whilst you wait for your dinner to cook.
Self-care and wellbeing is extremely important, so these gift sets filled with items to pamper yourself are a brilliant way to treat someone this Christmas. Filled with a range of toiletries, home goods and more, they’re ideal if you’re not quite sure what to get someone or just in need of a stocking filler.
Our shops are always filled with great reads that are perfect for the book lover in your life. For a specialised selection of books, visit our Frinton shop which is filled with every genre you can think of, or alternatively our Brightlingsea shop is home to some children’s books ideal to encourage your little ones to read.
Buying for someone who loves to plan and stay organised - why not pick up a 2022 diary in one of our shops? This stationary set we found in our Brightlingsea shop would also be a great gift idea for someone studying.
You can’t go wrong with a new jumper or coat, especially at this time of year and with most of our shops filled with a wide choice of clothing, there’s something for everyone. For some fashion inspiration this winter check out our latest fashion blog. In addition to clothes you will also find lots of beautiful jewellery, bags and other accessories in most of our shops.
Our blog for helping you with gifts for the men in your life is filled with some useful suggestions, including music gifts and sporting goods.
If you’re looking for a unique and meaningful gift for someone this Christmas, a gift for good might be just the thing – spread the magic of Christmas my purchasing a virtual gift of care which could cover the cost of providing care to local people facing incurable illness and bereavement this Christmas.
We hope to have helped give you some inspiration this Christmas and you decide to take a look in your local St Helena shop to see what amazing gifts you can find for your loved ones.
When you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. If you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
