Festive gift guides

Christmas decorations make brilliant gifts: they come out every year and bring back memories every time. Here are our ideas for everyone on your list.

For a first Christmas in a new home

Moving in before Christmas means starting from scratch. A tree, a front-door wreath and a few special decorations make a new house feel like home.

For flats, student rooms and office desks

No room for a big tree? Small spaces can still look magical with a tabletop tree, battery fairy lights and a slim tree for the corner.

For families with little ones

Shatterproof baubles, a personalised stocking and a light show on the front of the house: Christmas through a child’s eyes.

For gadget lovers

App-controlled lights with millions of colours, schedules, music modes and voice control: Christmas for people who love a setting menu.

For the host with the most

For the friend who always does Christmas dinner: dress the table, light the mantel and set the scene.

For the outdoor show-stopper

The neighbour whose house you drive past just to look at the lights. Help them go even bigger this year (safely).

Christmas gift tips

  • Order early. Personalised stockings and baubles, and the most popular trees and lights, can sell out or take longer to arrive in December.
  • Check sizes. A tree or wreath is only a great gift if it fits. Ask (subtly) about ceiling height and door size, or choose a tabletop tree.
  • Think about storage. Pop-up trees and flat-packed decorations are kind to people with small homes.
  • Keep gift receipts. And check the shop’s returns policy for Christmas purchases.
