                          Mugs and candles are easy to give and easy to have too many of. If she already has a shelf of them, pick something she will use up or do, and keep the gift receipt.
                          How we choose

                          We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't. Commissions never change a pick or its place on the list. Read our full methodology →
