Spoilt Rotten Gifts is an online gift boutique for unique gifts with a retro twist.

Coming from a beautiful Yorkshire village, owner and Textile designer, Nichola Watson had to do all of her shopping in Kingston Upon Hull, famous for its fish trail and the House Martins and definitely NOT its boutiques! That is where Spoilt Rotten Gifts came in….with a background in buying at John Lewis and an eye for the unusual, Nichola sourced an ever expanding range of online gifts from Norwegian lunch boxes, to Californian cartoon jewellery pendants including a popular range of accessories from Disaster Designs, all to be sold in the eye-catching wibbly wobbly world of Spoilt Rotten Gifts.

Christmas is the perfect time to discover new online gift shops. If you’re anything like me and have a really hard time choosing that perfect gift for your in-laws, you’ll often end up trawling the internet looking for something you wouldn’t find in boring old Boots (I’m definitely not one for hitting the 3 for 2′s buying bath oil sets that will no doubt gather dust in someone’s bathroom for years to come). The best gift shops have items you just can’t find elsewhere and will make someone’s eyes light up upon receiving it; Quirky items that will transport someone back to their childhood, offer a practical solution to something they’ve often whinged about, or something so undeniably pretty you’d be delighted to receive it yourself. This is true of simply everything on Spoilt Rotten Gifts.

When Nichola got in touch to see if I’d like to treat myself, or a member of my family, to something from the site, I must admit I didn’t give any of my loved ones a second thought. There was simply so much I wanted, I had to treat myself. As I’m due to move in just a week’s time (eek!) and will have a brand new nursery to deck out - I plumped for a very sweet cushion that will keep Bump’s crib warm until he or she is ready to sleep in it - The Freya Dream Big Cushion. It’s very cute and I can’t think of a better sentiment for a peaceful nursery; “Dream Big Little One, Tomorrow You Will Move Mountains“. I have a funny feeling however that Dexter’s will be cuddling up to this until D Day though as he’s forever cuddling and squeezing it.

Inside, the lining is a printed fabric covered in ‘Love’ which is very cute and would make for a perfect change bag as it won’t show up any indiscretions. The outer bag is leather look PVC but smells and looks just like the real thing. It’s so very pretty, I’m delighted with it.

Delivery, and postage and packaging was better than Santa himself could manage. My gifts arrived within days, lovingly wrapped, and with a mini packet of Love Hearts squirreled away within the folds of the parcel. Perfect.

Yet not confined to gifts for hormonal women and babies, there’s also plenty there for the man in your life, for the home and exclusively for Christmas. Here are some of my favourite bits:
