Picture this, you have a wife, dad, friend, sister etc who is following Slimming World. She/he has been doing amazingly and plans to have 1 or 2 “days off” over Christmas.

3. Compact Dumbbell Set
One of the reasons most of us don’t have a lot of exercise equipment indoors is because it takes up too much space and not all of us have the space to turn our garages into gyms. This compact dumbbell is absolutely perfect for someone who wants to build some muscle but doesn’t have a lot of space indoors. Available in Pink or Blue depending on who you are purchasing for.

5. Personalised Healthy Extra A Allowance Bottles
Oh my goodness how cute are these? Okay I know milk is fairly easy to keep track of but you wouldn’t believe how many people don’t measure their Healthy extra A and then ask they they aren’t losing weight! You can have the bottles personalised with your own name too.
