It’s already upon us! That time of year when the Christmas marketing machine revs up and we all start panicking over what to buy for our loved ones.
It seems that even though there are more and more options available, gift buying only ever seems to get harder. Whilst many now seem to wait until the infamous Black Friday weekend to do our Christmas shopping, it’s not always practical to leave things until the end of November; some people like to be organised weeks in advance and, as far as we’re concerned, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
For many, though, finding that perfect present for loved ones at Christmas can be nothing short of difficult and a fairly stressful task! Shopping and gift buying doesn’t come naturally to everyone, even those with the best intentions and it can be all too tempting to simply go for a repeat of what went down well last year (and the year before)!
But fear not, we’ve rounded up some of the best options out there for men, women and kids.
For Him
1. Mondaine Watch Evo – £159.00 from Wave
Because guys don’t wear as much jewellery as women do, their watches are a big part of their look.
Mondaine watches are beautifully minimal and understated and are not only an elegant addition to his wardrobe, but a practical and legible timepiece.
2. Facial Fuel Favourites – £56.00 from Kiehl’s
Men are increasingly looking after themselves more and more, so why not treat him to this skincare set from Kiehl’s?
It includes an energising face wash, scrub and moisturiser to keep him looking and feeling his best.
3. Wool Mix Overcoat in Camel – £80.00 from Asos
The weather is certainly on the turn, so why not help him wrap up warm in this comfy and stylish camel overcoat from Asos?
For Her
1. Refillable Lizard Print Leather Journal – £45.00 from Aspinal of London
For the professional woman who needs to keep track of all of her meetings and appointments, or maybe just the one who always forgets when you’ve arranged to meet for coffee, a leather diary is a great gift, especially a handy pocket sized one which can fit in a handbag.
2. Pine and Eucalyptus Scent Surround Diffuser – £62.20 from Jo Malone
This scent diffuser from Jo Malone is a beautiful gift, not least because you can have it delivered in a gorgeously wrapped gift box.
The sleek diffuser itself will ensure her house has a refreshing forest-fresh fragrance, perfect for the Christmas season.
3. Faux Fur Scarf – £50.00 from Cath Kidston
It’s time to start wrapping up nice and warm, but who says she can’t do so in style? This faux fur scarf brings a hint of timely glamour and looks great over a warm overcoat or a dress.
For Kids
1. Wooden iPhone Phone Case – £30.00 from Etch’d
For older kids and teens, their smartphones are their everything, so why not at least make sure that they keep them safe in some style?
These beautiful wooden phone cases from Etch’d can be personalised with any design or message of your choosing.
2. Lego Winter Holiday Train – £69.99 from Lego
Two things which children will surely love for the rest of time, Lego and train sets! This gift combines the two with a magical winter train with 70cm of track.
3. Blue Star Midi Children’s Teepee – £125.00 from Just for Tiny People
Just for Tiny People, create and sell these magical teepees, which make for a perfect hideaway for little ones who love to run around, explore and play.
You and your little ones can even accessorise and decorate your teepee with cushions and fairy lights for an added touch.
