An early guide to stress-free and successful Christmas gifting!

Yellow Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers

Hello all,

We hope you are transitioning well into a change of season. As there is now less than 100 days until Christmas, we thought that you would appreciate a little guide to ease you into thinking about gift-buying for loved ones. If you're a conscientious shopper like us, you'll probably be looking for gifts that will be well-loved instead of thrown away or forgotten. Those last-minute rushes before Christmas can sometimes result in hasty decisions, so we want to avoid that horrible feeling of having wasted money, time, resources and energy on the wrong thing. 

So if you'd like to give yourself a head start before things get busy, and you're stuck for ideas and inspiration, here are 4 tips from us to help make shopping for others easy.

  1. Pick a best seller 

Our first tip is to head straight to our 'Best Sellers' section on our website to see what's most popular with our customers right now. We think it makes deciding what to get a bit easier when you know what has gone down well for others.  

Cat Mug

Here are our top 6 most popular designs this year:

  1. The Cat Mug
  2. The Turkey Hanging Decoration
  3. The Toadstool Mug
  4. The Dog Spoons set of 4
  5. The Toucan Flying Wall Trio
  6. The Cat Spoons set of 4
  1. Shop by category 

We also recommend shopping by category. You can do this easily on our website under our 'Gifts' section. We have ideas for different budgets, people, interests, and occasions to help you cut down your search time, no-brainer! Particularly useful categories are the For Him, For Her, For Kids, Under £20, Wildlife Lovers. And then, of course, under our 'Collections' tab you can search by animal/plant/ornament. Go to the 'Products' tab to find different categories of kitchen/homeware.

  1. Read up on reviews

Reading reviews of our products is also useful. We really encourage reviews as it helps us know what we're doing right and also helps readers get a sense of what the product is like in the real world. So if you see something you might buy, give the reviews a look over for extra confidence to back up your decision.

  1. When in doubt, do a gift voucher!

Lastly, if you're really not sure what your loved one would like, you can always get them one of our online gift vouchers! We think there's nothing wrong with a simple voucher, it shows that you want your loved one to get exactly what they want/need without you assuming for them! We have vouchers worth £15, £20, £25, £50 and £100, so you can choose your budget and email it straight to your recipient hassle-free.

Boston Terrier Hanging Decoration

And one last thing, how about investing in a gift for yourself? Yes, it's definitely too early to get Christmassy around the house, but these little Festive Hanging Decorations sell out every year, so it's worth grabbing them ASAP! They look wonderful hanging on the tree, we have a wide variety of designs, and they're very collectable. An eye-catching, long-lasting alternative to plastic baubles!

We hope that this guide helps to make crossing off the ~Hannah Turner~ section of your Christmas list as relaxed and successful as possible. Get ahead of the rush and revel in the satisfaction of getting it all done in plenty of time. Go forth!
