Original Christmas gift ideas

Looking for an original Christmas gift that won't end up forgotten in a drawer? Here are ideas to get it right for family, your partner, friends or Secret Santa, without overspending.

How to choose a Christmas gift people remember

  • Something used or seen every day: what stays in sight is remembered more than what gets put away.
  • A personal touch: a detail that says "I thought of you" is worth more than its price.
  • Something that decorates: gifts that become part of the home's Christmas come out again every year.
  • Arrives on time: order early to avoid December delays.

7 original Christmas gift ideas

  1. A Christmas decoration with a story. Something that goes in the living room every December and reminds everyone who gave it.
  2. A gift that changes every day. Like our Christmas plaque with 8 interchangeable discs: change the disc and the scene changes.
  3. A shared experience. A dinner, a getaway or a movie night at home with blankets and hot chocolate.
  4. An album or frame with photos of the year. Simple, and it always moves people.
  5. Something handmade. Cookies, a letter or a craft: the time you put in shows.
  6. A gift for the whole family. Board games or decorations everyone at home can enjoy.
  7. A Secret Santa gift. Better something nice and useful than a joke nobody uses.

Ideas by who you're giving to

  • For mum or grandma: Christmas decor she can display every year.
  • For your partner: a meaningful gift and an experience together.
  • For kids: something that makes the countdown to Christmas more magical.
  • For friends: an original, reasonably priced detail.
