The GFY Community Gift Guide 2023 - Under £15

Welcome to GFY’s annual gift guide series! This is a crowdsourced project where we look to you for the best gift ideas of 2023.

The aims…

• To reduce waste by giving loved ones things they want and need (strictly no Lynx Africa gift sets)
• To save you money by giving high quality but affordable gifts based on recommendation. Strictly no sponsorship or affiliates.
• To support independent retailers where possible

How the lists work

• You submit your responses on Instagram (this happened last week!)
• We’ll count responses for specific items and list 10 items within each price range. Generally, people have listed a type of item as opposed to a brand e.g Bamboo socks. Where there is no consensus on a specific brand, we’ve found the best-reviewed brand within that category
• No affiliates or sponsorships. These lists are compiled strictly on a recommendation-only basis. There are no affiliates.

How the links work

• None of the links below are affiliate links
• There are no sponsorships
• Where possible we've tried to find products from independent and sustainable retailers
