The lights are going up, the nights are drawing in, and the Christmas list is well underway. Whether you’re dropping hints for the people who love you or planning a little something for yourself, there’s something lovely about finding the gifts that make the season feel special.
This year we’re sharing something for everyone. From sparkly jewellery and cosy nights in to a bit of festive competition, there are ideas for every taste and budget. So, pour yourself a hot drink, put on your favourite Christmas songs and see what deserves a spot on your list this year.
ISSY STAR
Some gifts just feel special the second you open the box, and this is one of them. We were sent the necklace, earrings and bracelet, and the little star detail is a lovely touch. It’s dainty enough to wear every day, with a sparkle that catches the light, and you can see why it has been spotted on the Princess of Wales.
There’s a thoughtful side too, as £5 from every pair of earrings supports the charity Brave Mind. It comes in gold, white gold and rose gold, so there’s a finish for everyone on your list. Each piece arrives beautifully presented, so there’s very little to do except add a bow.
Buy the set or pick one piece for someone who loves a little sparkle. It’s the sort of present that gets worn, not left in a drawer.

Merry People Bobbi Boot
It’s officially the season of puddles, muddy paths and soggy dog walks, and these are the wellies we now never want to be without. They’re ankle-height, which makes them so much easier to pull on and off than the traditional tall kind, and they look smart enough to wear well beyond the field.
They’re fully waterproof, warmly lined and sit true to size, with arch support that makes a long walk comfortable. The deep dark cherry shade is a rich, festive change from the usual green and black.
They’re practical but pretty, and they’d go down well with anyone who refuses to let the weather stop a country walk. It’s a wonderful present for anyone who loves being outdoors, whatever the weather.

Frank Green Customisable Ceramic Bottle
A water bottle might not sound like the most exciting present, but this one is a gift people will actually use every day. You can choose the colours yourself, picking a shade for the base and a different one for the lid, so you can put together a combination that suits the person you’re buying for. Soft pastels, rich chocolatey tones or something bold are all possible, and it feels far more personal than anything off the shelf.
It has a smooth ceramic finish that looks smart on a desk or in a gym bag, and a lid with a straw that flips up, so you can sip one-handed while you’re on the move. The screw-on lid is spill-proof, so it won’t leak in your handbag, and the brand says it’s stain and odour resistant, which is handy for anything beyond plain water.
You can also have it monogrammed, which makes it a lovely gift for Christmas. Just leave enough time, as personalising adds a few extra days.

Tielle Love Luxury Blanket
Every living room deserves a blanket that does more than keep you warm. This one looks gorgeous. The deep forest green and classic herringbone weave give it a boutique-hotel feel, while the little tassels at each end add a finishing touch.
Drape it over the arm of the sofa, across the end of the bed or over the back of a favourite chair, and it instantly makes the room feel pulled together for the season. It’s made from pure new wool, which makes it a gift that feels properly special without costing a fortune.
Fair warning: once it’s on the sofa, nobody will want to move. A lovely choice for anyone who’s hard to buy for.

P.O.P Christmas Pyjamas
Matching Christmas pyjamas aren’t just for the little ones any more, and these grown-up versions are the reason. They’re festive without being over the top, and comfortable enough that you’ll want to stay in them well past breakfast on Christmas morning.
The brand does a whole range of designs for adults and children, so you can match the whole family or pick out a favourite for one special person. They’re ideal for a Christmas Eve box, and they make the photos on the big day far more fun. Be warned: once they’re on, nobody wants to get dressed.
There are plenty of designs to choose from, so you can pick the one that suits the person you’re buying for.

Winmau Equalizer Dartboard and Red Dragon Razor Edge Black Darts
For the person who loves a bit of friendly competition, here’s a gift that gets the whole family off the sofa. The board is built so that beginners and more experienced players can enjoy a game together, with larger scoring areas to help newcomers hit the mark. That makes it brilliant for mixed-ability family tournaments.
Pair it with a smart set of black darts and you have a complete gift ready to wrap. They have a good grip and a sleek look, and they come in a range of weights. It’s the kind of present that gets used long after the decorations come down, whether it’s a Boxing Day showdown or a regular games night.
Whether you’re buying for a seasoned player or a complete beginner, it’s a gift that keeps on giving long after the decorations come down.

Dreamland Cosy Up Heated Throw
For anyone who is always cold, this is the gift of the season. It’s a heated throw, so you control how warm you want to be, whether that’s a gentle glow or properly toasty. It’s perfect for film marathons, chilly evenings on the sofa, and those long, lazy days between Christmas and New Year.
It’s also a good-looking piece. It’s part of a coffee-inspired collection, and this shade, Hot Honey, has warm golden tones that fade into one another like a honey latte. It looks lovely draped over the sofa and gives the living room a cosy café feel. If your list includes someone with different tastes, it also comes in Chocolate Mocha and Vanilla Latte.
The temperature controls are simple to use, with no complicated settings to work out, so it suits everyone from grandparents to teenagers. It’s a present that will get used every single day from now until spring. Wrap it up, then prepare for the whole family to fight over it.

Mirafit Resistance Bands
If someone on your list has been saying “I really must get back into exercise”, this is the gentlest nudge you could give. The bands are small enough to slip into a handbag, gym bag or suitcase, and you’d be surprised how much of a workout they give you, working your whole body.
There are different strengths to choose from, so they suit complete beginners and regular gymgoers alike. We loved how easy they were to use at home, with no fancy kit or gym membership needed. They’re a great gift for anyone looking for a convenient way to get into shape.

Mattress Next Day Coolflex Pillow
A great night’s sleep is the gift everyone secretly wants. This pillow is designed to stay cool through the night, which is a godsend for anyone who wakes up too warm. It’s shaped to support the head and neck, so mornings feel a bit easier.
It’s the kind of practical present people rarely buy for themselves, so it’s a lovely surprise. The cover comes off and goes in the wash, which keeps things fresh. Pair it with new pyjamas or a bedding set and you have a ready-made “better sleep” gift.
Wrap it up and watch the relief when they realise what they’ve been missing.

A brighter smile is a gift that keeps on giving, and this brand makes it easy. Between the Sonic Pro toothbrush, whitening powder, strips and toothpaste they make brushing feel like a real treat. Your mouth feels fresh and polished afterwards – a bit like a trip to the dentist, but far more pleasant.
The brush has different settings, so it works whether your teeth are sensitive or you just want a deeper clean. Everything looks smart enough to leave out on the bathroom shelf – put a few pieces together and you’ve got a ready-made gift set.
This is a sleek and stylish range that’s perfect for anyone who wants to start the new year with a sparkling smile.

It comes with matching pillowcases, so it’s a complete present, and it suits anyone who runs warm at night or likes their bed to feel properly special. There’s even a 200-night trial, so it’s a low-risk gift. Make up the bed on Christmas Eve and you’ll wonder why you didn’t treat yourself sooner.
