Our shopping expert has rounded up nine Christmas gift ideas to suit almost everyone, from partners and best friends to parents and grandparents. The curated guide aims to ease the last-minute panic of finding a present that people will genuinely love, with picks ranging from stationery and photo frames to knitwear and festive drinks.
Stationery and homeware picks
The Papier x Damson Madder collaboration, unveiled last month, features notebooks, diaries, recipe journals, notecards, and wellness journals. All designs are £30 or less, with an option to personalise them, making them a suitable gift for friends who love writing or keen cooks.
Addison Ross offers a selection of luxurious photo frames, with a complimentary print-and-fit service where customers pick a frame, upload a photo, and the brand handles the rest. The frames come in a signature punchy palette, including cherry red and periwinkle blue.
Fragrance and festive treats
Animal's Becky Knit Scarf, priced at £12.99 (was £24.99), is a versatile beige knit that suits everyone from grandmas to teenagers, with a classic branded badge. NEOM Wellbeing's Christmas Layered Candle, at £42, combines three festive scents: Cosy Nights, Perfect Peace, and Christmas Wish, offering a variety of seasonal fragrances in one product.
Jack Daniel's Winter Jack Tennessee Spiced Apple Punch, at £16, blends apple pie and cinnamon flavours with the classic vanilla, fruity, and oaky notes of the whiskey. It is suitable for those who enjoy a warming winter drink, served neat or in a festive cocktail.
Apparel and body care gifts
The House Scent Reed Diffuser from Seth Rogen's fragrance brand Droplet, at £40, features bright pink pepper, fresh peony, rich pine, and warm sandalwood. The crystal glass vessel and single thick reed make it a display-worthy homeware gift. Victoria's Secret Long Pyjama Set, at £60, offers cosy winter options with various colours and prints, including polka dots, tartan, penguins, and skiers, each with an embroidered logo.
Slow Love Knitwear, priced from £75, offers hand-knitted jumpers and cardigans with quirky prints and vibrant colours. The female-founded brand, set to open its first flagship store in Gloucestershire, designs knits with a relaxed boxy fit and just two sizes per style, making them an easier gift to choose. Lush's Snow Fairy Gift Set, at £28, includes a bath bomb, body lotion, shower gel, and bubble bar, all featuring the signature sweet scent, though some bath bombs may stain the bath.
