You can feel pretty certain that no one else is going to buy her a soap dish - but this vintage-inspired design from Anthropologie is no ordinary soap dish.

A bath rack may not seem like the most exciting of gifts, but in fact, it's the ideal thing to elevate her bathroom to a space of pure bliss. This Dunelm rack is both elegant and affordable.

Meditation Box – £79.99, Morphée
Know someone who could do with help relaxing? The Morphée box contains 210 guided meditations for chilling out and falling asleep. As it's non-digital (you charge it every week), there's no screen to keep her awake. Its retro charm also means it'll look good on her bedside table.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 – £79, Urban Outfitters
Nostalgia-themed gifts are huge this year, so let her ditch the smartphone for this ultra-cute polaroid camera. She'll still be able to get good shots of herself - the camera may look old school but it does have a 'selfie mode'.
