Christmas is just around the corner and I for one am looking forward to the magic and excitement that comes from being a parent at Christmas. A big part of the magic comes from finding the right gifts for all the family. The run up to Christmas can be busy too with loads of festive events, so I like to do a lot of my shopping online. Read on for ideas for how to make buying your Christmas gifts stress-free. Find more gift ideas for everyone here.
This post is sponsored by Very.co.uk to showcase their fantastic range of gifts for all the family this Christmas. All photos, thoughts and opinions are my own.
December is a busy time of year so it’s great that Very stocks gifts suitable for everyone on our Christmas gift lists. Imagine being able to sit down in your cosy living room one evening and order gifts for everyone you need to. No fighting through busy shops on your day off. No feeling exhausted after looking in shop after shop for the perfect gift. Simply make a list of everyone you need to buy for, open Very’s Christmas guide and find them all a gift they’ll love.
Other ways to make gifting a little easier this Christmas:
- Get the kids to write their letters to Santa early, they’re sure to be filled with ideas.
- Make a list of everyone you buy for, a great idea is to have this an electronic list that is accessible from your phone when you are out shopping.
- Keep the list up to date. You might like to keep a list of ideas for everyone, how much you have spent (particularly useful for keeping to a budget or making sure you spend similar amounts on each child) and update it when you have purchased a gift.
- Wrap as you go along if you can. At the very least do it a bit at a time well in advance. Don’t leave everything until Christmas Eve if you are a parent! The last thing you want to be doing after battling to get overexcited children to sleep is having to wrap all their presents!
Christmas gift ideas for kids
For my 9 year old daughter, the hardest part about Christmas shopping is choosing from her long (and growing daily) list of toys she wants this Christmas. Thankfully Very stock the Best Kids Toys so I’ve been able to select gifts she’ll love.
They have loads of LEGO, Wicked, O.M.G dolls and Stitch toys that I know she will love!
Christmas gifts for teens and tweens
My eldest is 12 and I’m not going to lie, I’m finding her a challenge to buy for this year. These gifts from Very are sure to be a hit though. I’ve chosen some gorgeous hair accessories, jewellery gifts and shower foam.
Christmas gifts for the women in your life
Very have loads of gifts for every woman in your life. There are loads of great beauty gifts from big brands like Elemis, This Works, Benefit and loads more brands. There are perfumes, hair care, make up and skin care.
As well as beauty gifts there are loads more ideas for women such as jewellery, pyjamas, homeware (I particularly like the Jamie Oliver range which this cake stand is part of) and loads of great brands of clothing.
Christmas gifts for men
Very have men covered too with clothing, skin care, gaming gifts, sports wear and equipment and Kindles too. I love Hotel Chocolat Christmas gifts for those who you’re not quite sure what to buy!
So no matter who you are buying for, Very have loads of gift ideas to suit every budget. I hope you’ve found this useful and you make Christmas gifting as stress free as possible!
