Each year it gets harder and harder to choose original Christmas gifts for all your friends and family – even with as much choice as we have today! If you need some help choosing a gift this year, just take a look at this handy guide.

Almost every family has that one person who’s hard to please. And if someone you know has very specific tastes, it can make choosing Christmas gifts very stressful! To choose them a great gift without ruining the surprise, have them go online and compile a wish list of some of their favourite gifts and products. Then you’ll have a good idea of exactly what they want, and can choose them something off the list without revealing to them what it is. Just make sure you liaise with other family members or friends to ensure they don’t end up with the same gift twice!

Gifts for the person you don’t know well

Need a special gift for your boss, an important client or your new partner’s parents? Choosing a gift for someone you don’t know well can be particularly difficult – especially if you really want to impress them. The best thing you can do is ask someone close to them what they like, or what they would recommend as a gift. If that’s not possible, think about giving them a hamper. Most delicatessens and specialty food stores can put together a nice box of mixes treats. They make a great gift for almost anyone – and any unwanted products can be used for entertaining guests.

Gift ideas for the sentimental person

Some people prefer sentimental gestures to expensive gifts and fancy gadgets – but it can be difficult to come up with ideas other than the default ‘photo frame’ option! Thankfully these days it’s easy to create a full range of personalised gifts including coffee mugs, calendars, storybooks, clothing, stationery and more. Any special family member or friend will appreciate the personal touch!
