In need of some inspiration for a birthday or Christmas present? Or just want to treat a loved one? We’ve got you covered with a list compiled with the help of our very own community.

We’ve split the list into categories just to help you read them – the list was so long it got hard to process! Just hit one of the tabs to check out each list.

A few things to remember or think about:

  • Be mindful of allergies – especially for those with MCAS. People may be allergic to foods, ingredients, fabrics, smells and more.
  • If in doubt about the suitability of gifts, vouchers can be a good option as the recipient can buy something that works for them.
  • Consider joining together with friends to save for larger/more expensive items that the recipient would never otherwise be able to buy themselves.
