Ah Christmas shopping. It can be tricky finding an interesting gift without having to spend a lot of money, or a lot of time trawling websites and shops. And if you have a lot of people to buy for, the whole thing can really take it out of you. To give you a hand is our gift guide to lovely things for home and living, for £20 or less...
Very cute and pleasingly fat, this clever little stackable 'Pagoda' (above) is a porcelain salt and pepper shaker and egg cup combined. Perfect for those who still like their boiled egg and soldiers in the morning. £11.45 from Useful Art.
Almost too lovely to actually use is this 'Magic Frog' soap from Gianna Rose. Presented in a lovely gift box, the soap has a delicate waterlily fragrance and is available from Heal's for £18.
Duck egg blue has proved to be a popular colour for soft furnishings this season, and it's easy to see why when looking at this pretty embroidered satin cushion from the Amore range (£11).
Urban Graphic has a lovely range of cards that are now available as prints for your wall. This print in pink and orange tones is just one of those available from their 'Screen' collection at just £17.50 including P&P - a great price for a 40 x 40 cm print.
Have a friend who's just moved house or is redecorating? They might appreciate this bronze-coloured lamp in amber glass with a great textured shade. It's just £20 from Matalan.
