Gifts for the home can bring joy not only on Christmas day but also for many years to come.
The best ones are both super practical and deeply stylish – like their next favourite mug or a cosy throw – but it can also be fun to give a present that’s purely decorative, like a bauble that immediately made you think of a friend.
If you’re unsure about the recipient’s taste, opt for something they can always use more of. Traditional Christmas shopping includes toys for children, beauty and fashion items for mum, and, inevitably, socks for dad.
However, this year, consider other options like gifts for food and drink, gardening, and all sorts of homeware. A great strategy to please everyone is to buy timeless pieces that everyone will love.
Whether it’s a friend who can’t have enough candles or a dad who could use a fluffy towel, the Express has found gifts for the home that everyone will love this Christmas.
