The Grown Ups Christmas Gift Guide

*Ad – Gifted. All opinions are my own.
Now I use the term “grown-ups” very lightly because if you are anything like me then you are a total kid at heart and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all! I usually have trouble thinking about what to get people for Christmas and as Mr Tutu and I are doing joint presents between us (argghhh so grown up and coupley!!!) I have double the amount to think about because I am definitely not just letting him loose on Christmas eve and hoping for the best. Thanks to putting together this gift guide I am actually pretty on top of my game and with just a few weeks left until the big day I only have 4 gifts left to get for us and then the wrapping and we are good to go. So here I am, sharing with you what I’ve got on my His and Hers, grown ups Christmas gift guide this year!

Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts

We don’t go out very often, but when we do, I love it that Mr Tutu dresses up and makes an effort.

Their tremendous shirt range brings you the best formal shirts, casual shirts, luxury shirts, business casual shirts and more. Tyrwhitt come in four different fits, with non-iron options and a variety of sleeve lengths and collar types. Prices start at £19.95 and are available online.
