Christmas Gifts for Your Partner

By Lisa Rae


'The season to be jolly' can often seem a completely contradictory way to describe the countdown to Christmas; shopping for our loved ones is an exhausting chore, mentally and physically, as trying to find the perfect gift for that special someone can sometimes feel impossible. Buying a Christmas gift for the home lover can be even more challenging, as we would not want our gift to infringe on their personal taste or make them feel obliged to display it regardless of their style. So in order to ease the stress of seasonal shopping this year, let's explore some Christmas gift ideas to please even the most particular home lover.

Christmas decorations can double as thoughtful gifts; favourite ornaments could be passed down the generations or you might even try personalised baubles as unique gift ideas. Use Christmas decorations as a way to create lasting memories, like putting the star on the tree or hanging the wreath from the door. Adorning your home with festive touches and embellishments transforms it into a perfect grotto, a magical and inviting shelter from the winter cold. There's always that one bauble, sentimental trinket or much loved ornament that conjures your festive spirit and once it has taken pride of place, you know that Christmas has well and truly arrived.

Christmas decorations hold a dual purpose, as they can double as thoughtful gifts. Favourite ornaments can be passed onto a loved one or you could even attempted personalised baubles as unique ideas for Christmas presents. You can utilise Christmas decorations as a way to create lasting memories, like hanging the wreath from the door or putting the star on the tree. There is always that much loved ornament or sentimental trinket that evokes your festive spirit and once it is presented, you know that Christmas has arrived. In this way, decorations can be a considerate and beautiful gift for the home lover.

In order to find the perfect present for that special someone it is essential to step into their shoes. Try to choose a present that would fit into a certain room or space of their house- whether a culinary genius or green fingered, it's easy to find a gift once you've understood the lifestyle of the recipient and what sort of present they could utilise, or simply adore, daily. Any gift that shows you've thoughtfully considered your decision and truly understand the personality of the recipient is sure to go down a storm- remember, it really is the thought that counts.

For presents that are a little bit different this Christmas handmade gift ideas are a brilliant antidote to clichd offerings. You will be choosing something that's completely unique, unusual and a work of art. Handmade gifts are so special because the designer has put love, care and thought into their product - just as you do when choosing a present your loved one. Often made from reclaimed materials, handmade gifts are sustainable and environmentally friendly, so why not support local design talent and give an extra special Christmas gift this year?
