Unwrap the perfect present: 10 useful gift ideas you’ll love

With less than six weeks until the big day, there’s no time like the present to push the start button on your Christmas shopping. Back in September, American Express reported that a fifth of UK adults had already started their Christmas spending.

So, get brainstorming, ask for wish lists and create a list of your lucky recipients. To make things easier, we have compiled 10 of the most meaningful and stylish gifts to suit all tastes and budgets, all taken from our Very Useful Gift Guide.

The Maximalist

For the person who loves print, colour and anything over the top! Spread a touch of Christmas joy with a set of these vibrant Velvet Paradise Cushions. Super sumptuous, with a beautifully intricate design, they’ll add a touch of luxury and bring a much-needed pop of colour to the home during the cold, dark winter months.

The Foodie

This Tabletop Trug makes the perfect gift for the foodie in your life, offering a practical solution to kitchen clutter. Designed to store utensils, spices and favourite recipes, this versatile piece ensures that everything is organised and easily accessible. Alternatively, try our classic Mesquite Glass Sand Timer, which measures a 15-minute interval – ideal for keeping the cooking on track for everyday meals.

The Host

For the friend who enjoys hosting, elevate their gatherings with this striking set of four Party Glasses. Crafted from high-quality glass, each with a unique colour and shape, they’ll be the centrepiece of any conversation! For non-drinkers, the Ravenna Stacking Tumblers in vibrant multicoloured glass offer a stylish alternative for serving water and juices.

The Botanist

The Amalfi Glass Watering Can is a gift like no other for the green-fingered friend in your life. With a comfy handle and lightweight design, this little cutie is easy to use and versatile enough to fit into any home aesthetic. Whether placed on a windowsill or shelf, nurturing greenery has never looked so chic. And if you’re feeling generous, why not include the lovely Lumo Glass Bulnes Pot to complete the set?

The Secret Santa

With frosty temperatures incoming, your Secret Santa will be thanking you for choosing this soft and snuggly Chenille Knitted Bobble Hat – and at just £9, you’ll have enough change left over to throw in some festive chocolate.

The Little One

Turn their playroom into a tropical savanna with this decorative Papier Mache Rhino Head. Offering a bold and fun statement, it’s a great piece to theme a room around if you’re updating your home… and it makes a nice change from gifting toys for Christmas.

The Flashpacker

A really useful gift, the Ryokou Duffel Bag or Weekend Holdall is perfect for anyone who loves a spontaneous getaway or quick escape. Cleverly designed, they both fold neatly into a small pouch, making them easy to store in your luggage, car or office drawer. Despite their compact sizes, these bags certainly don’t compromise on storage, offering sufficient space to accommodate all your essentials.

The Tea Lover

Who doesn’t love a cuppa on a cold day? You’re sure to have at least one person in your life who absolutely loves a cup of Rosie Lee. Our Zinnia Flower Tea Mug (or try the Flora Tea Mug) is a fine example of modern-rustic tabletop design firing on all cylinders. It’s also great for a cheeky hot chocolate topped with marshmallows and cream!

The Homebody

Our popular Paradise Velvet Robe is a no-brainer. Available in a range of colours and patterns, it’s made from super-soft cotton velvet and comes complete with a belt and two pockets. Alternatively, our Origami Throw and Cushion make the perfect winter combo for cosying up on the sofa in front of the TV while binge-watching all the Christmas classics during the holiday season.

The Coveted Gift

Blow the budget for the loved one in your life – Christmas is the perfect excuse to finally get that one piece they’ve been wanting all year. The curvaceous Orbit Swivel Chair, now available in a new Olive Green colourway, ticks all the boxes when it comes to the retro trend. It works well in pretty much any area of the home: office, dining room, bedroom or lounge.
