6 thoughtful Christmas gift ideas for their home

‘Tis the season for thoughtful gifting – and what’s more thoughtful than a gift for their home? By choosing something that fits a loved one’s interior style, you’re telling them you take notice of what they really love. So, whether they’re warming a new home or they’re just a big fan of a well-placed accessory, these Christmas gifts will dazzle and delight come December. 

Here’s your Christmas gift guide for loved ones’ homes...

1. Festive finishes

For the Christmas-obsessed, you can’t go wrong with some fun and festive decorative items. These are especially perfect if you’re sharing gifts early, as they’ll still have time to put them on display this year. Our picks are the Camper Van with Tree Decoration and the Pair of Vintage Style Skis; two statement pieces that are more winter-themed than Christmas, so the giftee can keep them out through March.

2. Cosy touches

Nothing says ‘Merry Christmas’ like soft throws and cushions they can cosy up in all festive break. Opt for wintry accessories in neutral tones, like the Grey Jacquard Snowflake Cushion Cover. It pairs perfectly with the Grey Snowflake Blanket for a comfy combo that was made for Boxing Day. The Black & White Christmas Tree Cushion Cover is another great pick if their style is more monochrome.

3. Seasonal scents

You can rarely go wrong with home fragrance. The warm flicker of a candle with a festive scent creates a calm ambience that can be enjoyed all through Christmas – and beyond. This year’s festive fragrance is Balsam & Cedar Green; a crisp, bracing blend with a welcoming throw, which you’ll find in an array of bauble-shaped jars. Choose from green, brown, silver or rust. 

4. Playful prints

Give them a gift to smile about with a tongue-in-cheek sign they can hang with pride. For the football fans in your life, the Manchester City, Manchester United, Old Trafford or You’ll Never Walk Alone signs might suit (depending on their team, of course). Otherwise, Welcome to the Madhouse or Nobody Gets Out Sober are go-tos in many households. They’re particularly popular for placing in a kitchen or hallway.

5. Failsafe furnishings

Fact: buying furniture makes for a really risky (and expensive) gift. Unless you know exactly what they want, we advise you to let your loved ones choose the big items for themselves. However, if you’ve heard them say they fancy a new footstool or a certain type of lamp, you might feel brave enough to pick it out for them. It all depends on how well you know their style. For foolproof pieces, try the Romance Footstool, which comes in a wide array of colours, or opt for the suits-all-interiors Antique Brass Metal Task Floor Lamp.

6. Stylish glassware

Last but by no means least: a gift friends and family can say ‘cheers’ to. Treat them to a new glassware set, chosen with their favourite festive tipple in mind. If they’re a wine connoisseur, the Set of 4 Italia Silver Rim Wine Glasses will add some shimmer to their dining table set-up, while the Set of 4 Italia Silver Rim Champagne Flutes will be ideal for ringing in 2022. (You might want to buy these on a one for them, one for me basis.)
