Every December there is a person you need a gift for who is not quite a present person: the colleague in the Secret Santa, the neighbour, the extra name that appears on Christmas Eve. The Christmas gift set is built for that gap: three small festive things in one compact bundle, under £10, ready to hand over. This is what is in it, honestly, and how to make it feel like more.
What is inside
- One festive Christmas travel tumbler, for the commute coffee or the hot chocolate on the walk.
- One pair of cosy Christmas socks, for the sofa in the week between.
- One mini Christmas keychain, for the keys or the bag.
The festive designs (Santa, snowmen, reindeer or other Christmas artwork) vary with availability, so two sets bought together may not match, which for two colleagues is a feature.
Who it is for
Secret Santa under a tenner; the office; the postman and the hairdresser; a party favour for a grown-up table; the stocking for a teenager who is hard to fill; the emergency present kept in a drawer for the neighbour who arrives with wine. It is not the main present for someone you love, and it is not trying to be.
How to make it look like more
Put it in a named presentation bag: the set plus the person's name on the outside reads as a considered gift rather than a bundle. Add a personalised fabric coaster with their name and the set becomes a £18 desk gift with something named in it. For a child's stocking, pair it with the multi-colour pens.
When to order
The set is not personalised, so it can be ordered up to the last week before Christmas; everything is checked and packed in Cheshire, usually dispatched within one to three working days, with free UK delivery. If it is going into a named bag, order the bag by mid-December so the name is printed in time. The rest of the small-gift shelf is in Secret Santa gifts under £10 and the Christmas shop.
