The fairy lights are up, mulled wine is back on the menu and Mariah is dominating the airwaves once more. As the year comes to a close, many of us will reflect on the moments we've cherished throughout 2023, including the people who made it joyful. And what better way to show those people what they've meant to us than with the perfect gift.
But when you want to get the present just right, it can be hard not to overthink it and go into gifting paralysis — who among us hasn’t spent so much time trying to get it right that we got it, well, wrong? That’s why Boots has curated a handful of lists to take the pressure off the process – complete with a Christmas deals to sweeten the deal even further.
If you don't know where to start, it can help to think about what the important people in your life have given you this year, and how you can give that back. Boots' collection of Christmas gift ideas for women is perfect for your sister or mum, or female bestie.
The best gifts are often the things we dream of owning but would never spend money on ourselves — case in point, the classic Dyson AirWrap Origin Multi-Styler which still tops every beauty wishlist.
But just as valuable – and often more meaningful – are the little life upgrades that can turn a day-to-day routine into a self-care ritual, which is where you get to play Santa. Switch up their does-the-job conditioner for a luxurious Pattern Treatment hair mask for example, take bathtime to the next level with an indulgent Sanctuary Spa Signature Discovery bath set or give them spa vibes at home with a fluffy Champneys Luxury Robe. Have a friend who's doing a marathon next year? Then look to the gifts for gym lovers: Fitbit's Sense 2 watch is perfect for tracking their progress.
Stumped by what to get that male friend or relative who needs help streamlining their life? Look no further than the Christmas gift ideas for men edit. Even a smart Ted Baker Grooming Kit can elevate a Sunday evening chore for the gentlemen in our lives.
Teenagers are also notoriously tricky to buy for, but will appreciate a thoughtful gift. Why not peruse Boots' stocking fillers for teenagers for the younger sibling, babysitter or student you'd like to thank for their help this year? Any Gen-Z worth their salt knows all things Y2K are hot again, like this Mean Girls Travel Flask. Or if you're a parent to a teen who has just discovered the unfettered joy of makeup, they'll certainly appreciate the compartments-for-everything Rio Ultimate Beauty Storage Box.
And because the festive season is really about the wonder in the eyes of the small people in our lives, there's a whole section of Christmas gifts for kids, whether they're a Bluey fan, a Minecraft aficiando or more into Encanto.
So yes, it's the thought that counts — and when someone else has put the thought into present-giving for you, that really is the best gift of all!
