We all know I love Treat Republic. Whenever I have a birthday looming on my calendar it’s the first place I visit to pick up something quirky and unique, and their Christmas selection this year is equally fabulous.
Searching their gifts is stupendously easy. You simply pick your occasion then narrow down by recipient (boyfriend, wife, brother, grandparent etc) and Treat Republic will show you hundreds of tried & tested gifts. This is lazy shopping at its best (although I think the folks at TR HQ will slap my wrist for saying so). You’re guaranteed to find something to suit the fussiest of personalities, and pick up lots of brownie point in the process.
I must have been in a very naughty mood when contacted recently to choose something Christmassy to review (either naughty, or incredibly stressed) as I plumped for alcohol. Treat Republic do a great range of personalised tipples that would make great centrepieces for a Christmas table. There’s champagne, sparkling wine, whiskey, port, vodka, beer and wine… all of which can be personalised (from bottle labels, to boxes and even glassware).
Not thinking of Craigy at all, I plumped for pink bubbles (an entirely deliberate oversight). This Sparkling Monopole Rose Wine was a very reasonable £24.99, which is similar to the price point I’d plump for in the supermarket. It arrived in beautiful gold presentation box in a bed of gold tissue paper. If I had any intention if gifting this to someone it would therefore be ready to simply present to them; dinner party host, birthday girl, your boss or otherwise (but obviously this particular bottle was destined to be devoured by only one person…).
The personalisation process was incredibly simple, you simply type the recipient’s name, then a message of your choice to appear on the bottle. Style-wise it looks slick and professional and I’d be more than happy to receive it. More than happy…
It was a great quality sparkling wine and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Sorry about the quality of the pictures - it wasn’t the first thing on my mind at the time!
Although I could write about alcohol all day, I better show you what else Treat Republic have on offer this Christmas!
Your Definition Cheese Board Set £34.99 / Initials Circled Beer Glass Tankard £14.95/ Personalised Oak Photo Cube Keepsake Box £17.99 /Personalised Sir Cat Bowl £16.99/ You Captured My Heart Necklace £29.99 / Personalised Baby Cushion £27.50 / Personalised Head Gardener Trug £34.99 / Prestige Luxury Towel Set £84 / Heart Bowls for Dips Jams and Chutneys £34.99
If you’re struggling for inspiration for that special Christmas gift this year, head on over to TreatRepublic.co.uk or have a look on Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook. They’re very happy to help you if you have any questions. Finally, if you’re in any doubt at all about purchasing from my pals at Treat Republic, here’s some of my previous reviews!

I always struggle to come up with ideas for presents for everyone, so I always give money or vouchers. No creativity at all, but I think its better to let them buy something they want with the money than something they didn’t

I always worry i haven’t bought enough for those special in my life but as long as we are together none of that matters on the day x
my sister
