Independent shops and high-street retailers both offer a fantastic selection of Christmas gifts for the home. Whether you’re shopping small or hitting the high street for your festive finds this year, our guide has options to suit everyone.
And let’s face it, we all know someone who always says, “There’s nothing I need” – and for them, a gift for the home is the perfect prezzie.
While it’s lovely to buy something handmade or individual, we’ve also catered for the late leavers after a fast staple that can be delivered close to December 25.
So without further ado (yeah, we know it’s only Bonfire Night) here are some great gift ideas to suit a range of budgets:
Hokan bowls
For the most versatile cook, they will absolutely adore these Hokan bowls – sustainable, stackable and stylish. Available in a range of gorgeous colours (we love yellow) and in sizes small (400ml), medium (600ml) and large (1000ml), these dishes can happily be used in the microwave, dishwasher or oven.
And what is really clever, because the contents is determined by the height, every lid fits every size, so they can be swapped around to suit and used as a side plate or to cover in the fridge – genius.
The bowls heat evenly and retain heat efficiently, while cooking with the lid on keeps moisture in and the temperature stable.
Hokan are proud to partner with The Felix Project who help to feed local communities in London by rescuing surplus food from suppliers and redistributing it to over 1,000 frontline charities and schools. For every small bowl sold, Hokan donates 1.5 meals; for every medium bowl, 3 meals; for every large bowl, 4.5 meals; and for every set of three, 9 meals.
Available to buy: hokanbowls.com individually or as a set, starting at £24
Smart scales
For someone into nutrition, the Aeno KS1S Smart Kitchen Scale is a handy and stylish prezzie. With a nifty tempered glass surface, you can weigh hot or cold ingredients – and with a database of 10,000 products and meals, it can be used to get handy nutritional analysis for a wide range of foods.
And for those waiting for the post-Christmas slump, this is an excellent tool for weight loss, thanks to its smart app funtionality, precise measurements and nutritional tracking. Slim and easy to store, the LED screen is bright and easy to read. It’s an absolute winner for us!
Available from: Curry’s, £34.99
Playful picture
For a nostalgic look back at a favourite character, we absolutely love these beautiful pictures featuring characters from the Peanuts gang. We stumbled upon these exclusive and super cute frames featuring original vintage Snoopy playing cards, double mounted in cream and black, within a black wood box frame.
What is super cool, is that the cards are from the 1970s, ensuring each gift is one-of-a-kind. SO with 60 designs featuring Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, these gifts are timeless and thoughtful! There are also fridge magnets and Christmas baubles available.
Available from: Vintage Playing Cards, from £25
Digital alarm clock
Arighi Bianchi’s Rise & Play is the ultimate bedside digital alarm clock and Bluetooth speaker. More than just an alarm clock, it’s a wireless entertainment hub that will brighten any bedside table.
Connect your smartphone via Bluetooth and wake up with your favourite tunes, while staying on track with the intuitive digital display. Rise & Play combines style and functionality with three alarm modes, customisable brightness, and optional date and temperature display. Available in three fun colours – yellow, orange, and purple.

Scented candle
For the ultimate relaxation aroma, why not treat your loved ones to a gorgeous scented candle from the Copenhagen company? Perfect for any lounge, dining room, bathroom or bedroom, we just love these signature smells, especially the grapefruit which is an elegant citrus fragrance centred around the zingyness.
The signature hotel collection sizes are available in classic, medium and large – and are made from a natural wax blend and cotton wicks, to deliver a clean burn all day long.
Available to buy: thecopenhagencompany.com, from £13
Festive bedding
There’s nothing better than getting into a freshly made bed. So why not welcome in the festive season with the Catherine Lansfield Cosy Soft Christmas Tree Bedding Set? We love the super cute design – mini Christmas trees on a luxuriously soft velvet base. And better still – the reverse is lined with a warm sherpa fabric for extra comfort.
Transform your bedroom into a cozy Christmas wonderland while enjoying the classic touch it adds to your decor. This set is available in single, double, kingsize and super kingsize with matching pillow cases.
Available to buy: Terrysfabrics, from £27.10
Disney throw
Cuddle up on the couch this Christmas with this fantastic find from Asda! It’s the green and white Disney Mickey Mouse Checkerboard Sherpa Throw, which is 120cm x 150cm.
It can be washed at 30 degrees as well as tumble dried, making it the perfect couch companion or bed spread – and it’s just the most gorgeous gift for Disney fans old and young.
