These gifts are sure to prove a hit with your loved ones this Christmas. And if you’re not sure who to buy them for, we’d suggest treating yourself to a new festive floral arrangement, diffuser or hamper full of Italian delights.
Snowflake Sensation
Haute Florist £80
This gorgeous floral hatbox arrangement would be a lovely gift for your host on Christmas Day, or anyone who loves beautiful flowers.
The Snowflake Sensation from Haute Florist will certainly spread some festive joy with its abundance of Avalanche Roses, White Lilies, Green Hypericum, Silver Thistle, Pine Cones and Cinnamon Sticks. Each hatbox is arranged by hand by artisan florists, and would look stunning in any room of the home. In fact, this might be a Christmas gift you choose to gift yourself instead or as well as a loved one.
Christmas Poinsettia
123 Flowers £29.99
For a more traditional floral gift, we’d recommend a vibrant red poinsettia. This festive houseplant from 123 Flowers is the ideal Christmas gift for any green-fingered loved friends and family who can’t spend as much time in their beloved garden. This poinsettia is sure to brighten up their Christmas with its rich red leaves, and give your loved one a new plant to look after while stuck indoors.
This festive favourite requires proper care and attention to keep it at its best over Christmas, and so is perfect for gardeners who like to keep their hands busy. For those less green-fingered but still wanting one of these gorgeous plants, you can always read our poinsettia care guide to keep the plant thriving through winter and beyond.
Forest Frost Reed Diffuser
Arran Sense of Scotland £25.00
For the fragrance fan, this diffuser from Arran Sense of Scotland is the ideal Christmas gift.
Forest Frost is a light, refreshing blend of mint and sparkling bergamot, pine and cedar. If you prefer something a little sweeter, Arran is offering Rowanberry Embers, a scent combination of winter berries and an open fire. Both fragrances are long-lasting yet subtle, and will add a cosy feel to any home over Christmas.
Both diffusers come with 100ml of fragrance, in a stylish white ceramic bottle decorated with tiny stars. You can also opt for a candle or hand wash in the two fragrances.
Visionary Lighting Kangaroo Table Light
Dusk Lighting £115.29
This quirky table lamp is the ideal Christmas gift for animal lovers. The Kangaroo Table Light has been exclusively created by Dusk Lighting’s British designers, and is available in a vintage silver or gold finish. A quirky and striking addition to any sideboard, desk or console table.
Gem Tote Bag
Zara Muse £14.99
Artist Zara Muse employs a rich colour palette for her drawings, expressing female beauty using contrasting shades. The tote bag is from her new gift collection, Contemporary Womens Portrait.
As well as canvas bags, Zara’s range includes cushions, mugs, coasters and phone covers, all with striking portraits of women.
Spotted on celebrities including Strictly’s Katya Jones and Mischa Barton, one of these tote bags would make an ideal Christmas gift for any teenage girl or art fan.
Luxury Italian Hamper
Tenuta Marmorelle £ Varies
A luxury hamper from Tenuta Marmorelle would be the perfect gift for any foodies, or those needing a dose of the Mediterranean to brighten up their Christmas.
Tenuta Marmorelle is a family business, which began selling Extra Virgin Olive Oil into the UK, produced from their own olive groves in Puglia.
This Christmas, they’re offering various hampers filled with Italian delights like the firm’s own rosemary flatbreads, pasta and antipasti. They’re truly delicious and will be a real treat as a Christmas gift for any of your loved ones.
The firm also sells original, hand-painted ceramics, including jugs, bowls and olive oil pourers. A stylish addition to any kitchen or dining room, these would be an ideal Christmas gift alongside one of the hampers, or on their own.
PerfectDraft Pro Machine
PerfectDraft £315
This will be a Christmas gift with real wow factor for any beer drinkers in your life. The PerfectDraft Pro Machine lets you savour the taste of a proper pint without having to leave your own home. Ideal to impress your guests during any Christmas parties, we’re sure everyone will be queuing up to pull their own pint.
The latest Pro model is a smart machine, so you can control beer temperature, check how much is left and monitor freshness, all from the app.
The beer machine takes 6-litre kegs, so you’ll get 10 pints from each one. The basic bundle ships with two pint glasses and a bar runner. But we’d suggest upgrading to a starter bundle that comes with a keg of beer rather than the bar runner. Our pick: Camden Hells.
Party Box
Double Dutch £19.99
This is the perfect gift for cocktail lovers, or a gift to your host at Christmas so they can get the party started – or wind down after the big day. The gift set from Double Dutch includes tequila and gin miniatures paired with the perfect mixers.
The box also features glitter and a confetti cannon to liven up the festivities, both of which are biodegradable, so no unwanted waste after.
