Create your own festive bling

STUCK for Christmas present ideas? Why not try a good old-fashioned locket — with a modern update. Gone are the days when the only way to personalise them was to tuck a picture inside. The ‘floating locket with crystals’ (£67, tresorparis.co.uk) lets you pick from a variety of accessories, from symbols to match their hobbies to initials (from £17).

Or there’s an aromatherapy locket (£27.04, Blue Raven Handcrafted at etsy.com) which lets you add essential oil to keep the wearer relaxed. And the birthstone locket (£59, Rachel Jackson London at notonthehighstreet. com), an amulet with the gemstone of your choice inside.
