Which crystal stones are good to hold and collect?

Polished tumble stones are a good choice to hold and collect. These four gifts range from a bag of white howlite to a 1 kg bulk lot of green aventurine chips, so there is a fit for a first stone or a growing collection.

Large Howlite Tumble Stones, Bag of 24 (£22.99)

A gift that fits on any shelf, this bag holds 24 large white howlite tumble stones. Each is about 20 to 30 mm and has a bright polish. Because they are natural stones, every one is unique, so you can pick favourites as you go. They suit anyone starting a collection, or a crafter who wants plenty of stones to work with, and the bag makes a simple, lovely start.

Best for: Crystal collectors and jewellery makers.

African Chevron Amethyst Tumble Stones (from £3.99)

A colourful choice, these African chevron amethyst tumble stones combine purple amethyst fused with white quartz. The white quartz forms V-shaped zig-zag stripes, so every stone is unique. You can pick the medium bag of 12, about 25 to 45 mm each, or the small bag of 24. It is a lovely pick for anyone who enjoys holding a stone in quiet moments and wants something with bold V-shaped stripes to look at.

Best for: Meditation fans and chakra students.

Love Crystal Set with Moon Trinket Dish (£7.95)

A charming pick for a calm moment, this set brings four tumble stones: rose quartz, clear quartz, amethyst and rhodonite. They sit in a crescent moon trinket dish, and an information card and printed drawstring bag come with it. The set is packed in a colour cardboard box. It is a sweet start for a beginner or a moon lover, with the stones, dish, card and bag all in one set.

Best for: Moon lovers starting a collection.

Green Aventurine Gemstone Chips, 1 kg Bulk (£24.95)

Practical and pretty, this is 1 kg of green aventurine gemstone chips, sold in bulk as one lot. In crystal lore, green aventurine is linked with luck and opportunity. Because it is a natural stone, the colour and pattern vary from chip to chip, so each chip looks a little different. It is a generous pick for a crafter or witchy maker who likes to work with plenty of stones at once.

Best for: Crafters and witchy makers.

Which calm crystals look good on a desk or altar?

Amethyst and green aventurine pieces look good on a desk or altar. A green aventurine gemstone tree, an amethyst point, an amethyst cluster and an amethyst Buddha figure suit a quiet corner. What ties them together is the stone itself: each is a piece to look at or hold.

Green Aventurine Gemstone Tree, Mango Wood Ring (£25.95)

Something new for their desk, and a handcrafted piece to look at through the day. It's made from 60 green aventurine chips wired in brass, set in a sustainably sourced mango wood open ring. Each stone is unique, so the colour and pattern vary. At 17 x 4 x 16 cm, it is a good size for a shelf or desk. Its mix of wire, wood and chips gives it a look all of its own.

Best for: Crystal collectors and nature lovers.

Medium Rich Colour Amethyst Point (£21.95)

Hand-picked for a calm moment, this medium natural amethyst point has a polished, display-ready finish. It measures about 5.5–6.5 cm and has a deeper purple colour. Each point varies slightly, so yours will be its own. Amethyst is traditionally associated with intuition, which makes it a thoughtful pick for altar keepers. Set it on an altar or a desk, and it becomes a quiet focus for your day.

Best for: Altar keepers and amethyst fans.

Small Natural Amethyst Cluster 3-8 cm (£6.95)

Sweet, simple and personal, this natural amethyst cluster is high grade, about 3 to 8 cm, with rich purple tones. Its size, shape, colour depth, points and base markings all vary, so every cluster is unique. It's a lovely pick for a friend who keeps something beautiful on an altar or shelf. Those markings and points are what make each one stand out.

Best for: Crystal lovers with an altar.

Amethyst Buddha Gemstone Figure (from £11.99)

A gift that says you listened, this amethyst Buddha figure is made from natural gemstone, so its colour varies from piece to piece. Choose the small size, 3.5 x 4 x 2.3 cm, or the large at 5 x 4 x 2 cm. It is devotional or decorative art, so it looks at home on an altar or a shelf. Because the stone is natural, no two figures share exactly the same shade.

Best for: Meditation fans and art collectors.

Which crystal jewellery and oil gifts suit a daily ritual?

Two amethyst pendants, a pair of friendship bracelets and a rose quartz roller bottle suit a daily ritual well. What ties them together is a gemstone you can hold, wear or keep close through the day.

Amethyst Hands Pendant with Silver-Plated Chain (£13.99)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to wear: this amethyst hands pendant is 3.5 x 2 x 2 cm and comes on a silver-plated chain. Each stone is natural, so every one is unique. It's easy to layer with other necklaces, so it can sit beside the pieces already on your neck. A good pick for a quiet moment of reflection, when you want a small reminder of your practice close by.

Best for: Everyday jewellery lovers.

Picasso Jasper and Howlite Bracelet Set (£11.95)

A gift with a story: this is the Peace set, two stretch friendship bracelets in picasso jasper and white howlite. Sharing a pair with a friend is a lovely way to mark an anniversary or simply say you are glad they are in your life. The gemstones are about 8 mm across, and the stretch fit means they go on and off with ease.

Best for: Friends marking an anniversary.

Amethyst Flat Pencil Gemstone Pendant (£12.99)

A charming pick for a calm moment: this amethyst flat pencil pendant is 4 x 1.5 x 0.5 cm and hangs on a silver-plated chain. It's a simple, flat piece that suits everyday wear. In crystal lore, amethyst is traditionally associated with intuition, which makes it a thoughtful pick for tarot readers. Each stone carries its own shade and markings, so no two look exactly alike.

Best for: Tarot readers and amethyst lovers.

Rose Quartz Gemstone Roller Bottle (£2.99)

Useful all year round: this gemstone roller bottle has a smoothly polished rose quartz ball and a silver cap, and it measures 8.5 x 2 cm. It's made for essential oils and perfume oils, and also works for DIY sample blends, essence and other liquids. It's a good pick for essential oil fans and scent blenders. Each stone is natural, so every roller is unique.

Best for: Essential oil and scent fans.

Which pendulums and dream journals suit beginners in divination?

A pendulum is a good match for divination beginners, and a dream journal suits anyone who likes to write their dreams down. These pendulums and this dream journal are quiet, hands-on gifts for a calm moment at home.

Black Agate and Rose Quartz Pendulum (£21.99)

For anyone who collects pendulums, this one is a lovely pick. It has a polished black agate cone with a pale pink rose quartz top, set in a lantern-style frame. At 23 x 3 cm, it's ready for dowsing, meditation or display, so it can move from your hand to your desk. Each stone is natural, so colour, tone and markings vary, which makes every piece a little different.

Best for: Pendulum collectors and dowsing beginners.

Seven Chakra Amethyst Pendulum (£8.95)

A gift that says you listened, especially to a friend just starting out with tarot or divination. This pendulum is made from amethyst gemstone, with chipstones and a metal chain. Its seven chakra design nods to the seven energy centres in some spiritual traditions. At 4.5 x 3 cm, it is compact, and each stone is unique, so no two look exactly the same. It suits a quiet evening spent with a deck of cards.

Best for: Beginners in divination.

Spinning Rose Quartz Merkaba Star Pendulum (£18.95)

Nice to unwrap, nicer to use, this pendulum has a spinning rose quartz Merkaba star. A green aventurine point sits alongside it in a copper-tone frame. At 25 x 3 cm, it suits dowsing and meditation fans who like to watch something turn during a quiet moment. It is sold individually, and as natural gemstones its colour and markings may vary slightly.

Best for: Meditation and dowsing fans.

Lined Dream Journal with Amethyst Pen, The Moon (£9.95)

A gift for quiet moments, this dream journal gives you 100 sheets, or 200 lined pages, for writing down what you dream. The Moon artwork on the cover suits anyone drawn to moon imagery.
