Welcome to Christmas 2022! And thank goodness for that, because let’s be honest, the last two Christmasses have been less “ho ho ho” and more “oh no no”. For many families, this Christmas will be the first chance to gather and celebrate, free from the concerns that have dominated the last few festive seasons. So let’s make it special this year. Let’s deck the halls, blow the dust off that bottle of Baileys and relish the comforting rituals of Christmas.
We know that Christmas isn’t all about presents but seeing someone you love open a gift you’ve thoughtfully chosen is special. Everything at Piglet in Bed is made from natural materials and carefully, considerately and transparently sourced. We’ve chosen a mix of our favourite products to suit every price point, from Christmas jammies to stocking fillers. Choose some excellent gifts for this most excellent of Christmasses.
Gifts under £30
We have a selection of small Christmas gifts for under £30 that make perfect stocking fillers. (1) Our Dark Amber and Vetivert Candle (£29) is a refined and sophisticated scent, for when you want a festive atmosphere without resorting to cinnamon. (2) The Coffee, Kaolin, Rosemary and Peppermint Soap (£8) is hand-crafted by LEGRA, using all natural plant ingredients. It smells wonderful on your body and at the bottom of a stocking. (3) Give them the gift of warm toes this winter with these Ecru Alpaca Bed Socks (£25). Knitted in the UK, from the softest alpaca wool, they also come in four other colours. (4) This Calming Room and Pillow Mist (£25) is made from lavender, frankincense and chamomile. Ideal for someone who struggles to unwind in this evening: a few spritzes of this on their pillow instantly relaxes and calms the mind.
(5) Choose tea with a difference with Good & Proper Earl Grey Tea (£5). All tea made by Good & Proper is responsibly sourced and if of the highest quality. No more floor sweepings for the tea lover in your life! (6) For the skincare lovers, our White Cotton Face Cloth (£5) is a treat for the skin and a vital part of any cleansing ritual. Made from cotton sourced in partnership with the Better Cotton Initiative, our face cloths (and all our towels) are thick, luxurious and soft on the skin.
Pssst! For a limited time only, we are including free wrapping paper on all candle and room mist bundle orders. Any gift box orders will receive a free blank festive Christmas card and room mist orders will come with a set of five blank Christmas gift tags. These will all be in our vintage holly print pattern, courtesy of the Design Library. They make the perfect finishing touch this holiday season!

It’s no secret that at Piglet in Bed we are a tad obsessed with linen. Super soft, hard-wearing, breathable and kind to the planet, it is (in our opinion) the queen of fabrics. From these (4) Men's Warm Blue Linen Gingham Pyjama Trousers (£55), to (5) a set of four Oatmeal Stripe Linen Placemat (£59) or a (7) White Linen Table Runner (£39) there are many ways to share the linen love this Christmas.

For something extra special, these gifts under £100 are all timeless classics that will never lose their appeal. (1) You won’t be embarrassed opening the front door to the postman in this Oatmeal Linen Robe (£79), suitable for both men and women. All of our linen robes, pyjamas and nightshirts are made from European flax and are 100% natural linen that gets softer with wear. Linen keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter thanks to its wonderful thermo-regulating properties. Enjoy the benefits of linen this Christmas with our (2) Blueberry Linen Night Shirt (£79) and (4) Men's Grey Linen Pyjama Set (£99).
Complete the breakfast table this Christmas with this (3) pitcher (£80) made by Pottery West in Yorkshire for Piglet in Bed. Hand-thrown, unique and with a rustic flair, we have been known to use it as a beautiful vase for flowers too…

Alternatively opt for this (2) Washed Cotton Double Bedtime Bundle (£173) in a cooling Cove Blue. There really is no wrong choice.
Give the gift of cosy with a wool blanket. All of our wool blankets are made in the UK from the finest merino wool, by one of our oldest Yorkshire mills, using traditional methods.

(5) The Orchid Gingham Linen Pyjama Trouser Set (£119) is from our popular gingham linen pyjama collection and dare we say deserves to be opened on Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas!
