Andy Williams truly captured the feeling of the festive season when he crooned that Christmas is “the most wonderful time of the year”. That being said, racking your brain for Christmas gift ideas can seem decidedly less wonderful if you’re not the best at shopping.
While the silly season is fuelled by all kinds of fun things, from long lunches, Christmas parties, decorating and overeating, (all of which bring us tremendous amounts of joy), one aspect of the season can make us want to curl up into a ball rocking back and forth under our perfectly decorated trees. You guessed it, that thing is finding the perfect present… for every single person in our lives.
Each year it feels like we’re exceedingly exhausting our list of best Christmas gift ideas, making it all the more difficult to impress our best friends who already have everything imaginable and our colleagues who we don’t know much about. Between office secret Santa draws and buying for those we cherish the most, gift giving quickly becomes stressful.
So, to help keep the festive season as one of joy, we’ve done the hard work for you and created the ultimate gift guide to cover your every need.

What’s the best Christmas gift?
When it comes to choosing the ultimate Christmas gift, the answer is kind of personal. It really comes down to who you’re gifting when deciding what to pop under the tree. Money or gift cards are a good idea for people who might have more specific tastes. A good rule is to take note of things your friends and family mention throughout the year and pick up on any hints they drop—you can also ask for a wishlist.
How much should I spend on Christmas gifts?
How much you spend is up to you. Don’t feel pressured to overspend and cause yourself financial stress to keep up with expectations at this time of year—2025 you is the person who will suffer. Setting a budget or spending limit with your friends and family is a good way to ensure everyone feels equal. If you do want to treat someone extra special, gifts aren’t just about physical things—planning an activity or holiday can be a wonderful way to celebrate that you’ll both enjoy.
