The Hour

With just a few days left until Christmas, it’s time to get your skates on and pick up those essential last minute gifts for your sister. If you’re stuck for what to buy, here are The Hour’s top five selections.

Keep your sister sweet with gorgeous food-inspired jewellery that looks good enough to eat, from www.cocoviolet.com. Priced from £7.50, it won’t break the bank either, and will earn you some brownie points.

If your sister loves to be cosy and comfy, but also likes to stay stylish, then the animal print ballerina slippers (£8) and hot water bottle (£10) combo from Next (www.next.com) is sure to impress her this festive season.

Another top pick is the gumball bank from BHS, which will both give her a sweet treat and help your sister to save up the pennies too – definitely a good thing to keep in mind at this time of year! It’s only £6.40 from BHS (www.bhs.co.uk).

Know-it-all siblings will love The Girls Book: Even More Ways to be Best at Everything, the latest book in the series which will give tips on everything, from how to get gum out your hair, to how to make a room look as-good-as-new in 15 minutes flat. Get it for £14.99 from John Lewis (www.johnlewis.com).

And music-mad sisters will go crazy for the Music Sensitive Lights Hydra Sphere, priced at £12.99 from www.menkind.co.uk. The gadget reacts to both sound and music and the tentacles are bendable, so the shape can be altered to look any way that takes your fancy!
