Stuck in a rut with Christmas gifts? Tis the season for exchanging presents with loved ones, and while sometimes finding the perfect gift seems simple, no one wants to be making the desperate Christmas Eve dash to the shops to find something!
To help you out, we've put together this creative Christmas gifts guide inspired by the traditional 12 Days of Christmas tune, to give you a few festive and fun gift ideas.
1. A Partridge in a Pear Tree
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me bakeware to whip-up a crowd-pleasing apple and pear pie (or any dessert)! The ideal present for any baking fanatic, put together a small hamper filled with handy cooking utensils such as an icing set, muffin tin, measuring cups and maybe a few key ingredients.
2. Two Turtle Doves
Sending turtle doves isn't the most practical of gifts. For the home lover, pop in a few candles and a diffuser and perhaps an ornamental vase filled with fresh flowers, or an artificial plant or two for those who are less reliable at keeping plants alive!
3. Three French Hens
Plants that matches their outdoor aesthetic or a house plant to give the gift of greenery to their festive home.
4. Four Calling Birds
Of course, what's a more fitting gift for this verse than a bird feeding station? Ideal for bird watchers or wildlife fans, a bird feeding station is a great way to add charm to a loved one's garden. Provide them with joy that goes beyond the Christmas period, as our feeding stations can be replenished year-round to keep attracting more feathered friends.
5. Five Gold Rings
Next up in our 12 days of Christmas gift guide is five gold rings.
Take a twist on the lyrics of verse five and surprise a loved one with a gold photo frame. For a sentimental touch, add your own picture (or pictures) to celebrate your memories together! Or, if you want to bring something to add to the festive dinner table, you could opt for a set of Champagne Gold Champagne Flutes or Gin Glasses.
6. Six Geese-a-Laying
To honour specifically the laying' part in verse six of the 12 days of Christmas song, bedding is always a thoughtful and practical option. Especially for young adults who may have just moved away for university (and always need a spare duvet cover or a cosy throw). It's a simple and inexpensive option that will never be unappreciated!
7. Seven Swans-a-Swimming
If you're wanting to splash out, what is more ideal for seven swans a-swimming' than a hot tub? A hot tub is a sure way to keep family, friends and loved ones content and relaxed.
8. Eight Maids-a-Milking
What do you put into coffee? Milk (well, a lot of us do). A coffee table is a great stylish and useful gift option, especially for those who have just moved into a new home or for a partner who is a fan of interior decorating.
If you're in search of something a little more practical, how about setting them up with a warming morning brew every morning? As a cafetiere and new set of mugs are also ideal gifting options.
9. Nine Ladies Dancing
Nothing gets people up and dancing like good music. Why not create a playlist for the gift recipient that you can share with them through a music app.
10. Ten Lords-a-Leaping
Probably our favourite verse in the 12 days of Christmas song!
Get your loved ones up and jumping around with a trampoline. Fitting for the tenth verse, a trampoline is not just something for the kids to get excited about (but the adults as well)!
11. Eleven Pipers Piping
Piping, pipes, plumbing all sounds DIY-related to us? For those that love to get stuck into home improvement projects or a dash of DIY here and there, the gift of DIY tools is always sure to be appreciated. Fill a tool storage box with a selection of handy tools or even a tool set to help them achieve their DIY dreams.
12. Twelve Drummers Drumming
He may not be a drummer, but a Nutcracker themed gift will be a great addition to any Christmas decoration collection.
Top tip: Legend has it, the Nutcracker watches over you at Christmas and can bring good luck to your home!
And those are our top 12 days of Christmas gifts gifting ideas!
