your guide to the top presents on everyone’s wish list this year
How we choose the best Christmas gifts
The perfect gift fits the recipient’s proclivities and peccadillos, so we can’t know for sure what your loved one will want. But we do know what’s popular and what’s good.
For each different type of recipient, we’ve suggested gifts that we’ve tried and tested ourselves, plus gifts that are trending – meaning that they’ve caused a buzz on social media or a surge in searches online.
Even if you don’t buy anything from this list, it should spark ideas and help ensure your Christmas gifts are a little bit more inventive this year. In case you’re buying at the last minute, for each gift I’ve noted the fastest delivery time and what it costs.
No brand or retailer ever sees Telegraph Recommended articles before publication and we don’t accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles.
Our team of in-house consumer journalists curate our gift guides, recommending brands and products that have previously been tested or approved by the Recommended team.
We also ask our readers to give feedback on their favourite gifts via surveys, which may also be included. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more.
