Think of Christmas and your mind might jump straight to pigs in blankets and festive TV specials. One of the best things about this time of year, though, is treating the people you love. Whether that’s buying your grandma the ‘snazzy’ sweater she’s been lusting after or treating your partner to a much-needed staycation, making your loved ones’ faces light up is what Christmas is all about.
If you feel like you’ve hit a wall when it comes to present ideas, you don’t have to worry. Here at R29 HQ, we’ve scoured the internet for the sweetest gifts around, for every type of budget. From fashion-forward reading material to statement vases, there’s something to please everyone on your list.
