1 For book lovers
For friends and family who like nothing better than to curl up with a really good read, why not treat them to a book subscription? Whether they’re into classics, crime or biographies, there’s now a large choice of subscriptions to suit every bookworm, and plenty of opportunities to discover exciting new authors. Some also include treats such as hot chocolate, tea lights and face masks to create the ultimate relaxing reading experience.
2 For culture fans
Buying for an art aficionado or culture enthusiast? Consider splashing out on an art pass, which will allow them entry into hundreds of museums, art galleries and historic houses across the UK. Or, if they have a favourite museum, treat them to an annual membership so they can enjoy exclusive events, be the first to find out about new exhibitions and have the freedom to visit as many times as they like.
3 For those seeking something one of a kind
Want to make the perfect addition to someone’s drinks cabinet this Christmas? Look no further than a premium whiskey such as Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select. Only one out of every 100 barrels of Jack Daniel’s are set aside to mature in the upper reaches of the Jack Daniel’s barrel houses, where dramatic temperature changes enhance both the colour and taste of the whiskey. Each barrel is hand-selected by Jack Daniel’s team of master tasters for its one of a kind flavour, with every bottle of Single Barrel Select proudly carrying its own unique rick number, barrel number and bottling date.
4 For cyclists
Not sure what to buy the cyclist in your life? If you’re keen to get them something both practical and sustainable, how about a bike helmet made with recycled materials, which can itself later be recycled into new models. Or, if they need a clever storage solution for their bike gear, a couple of personalised bike hooks? Perhaps they’re getting bored of the same old routes and need some fresh inspiration, in which case a guide to off-the-beaten track rides is ideal.
5 For style gurus
Want to give something special to the fashion lover who has everything? Many labels are now tapping into the personalisation trend, enabling shoppers to customise clothing and accessories. A number of luxury fashion brands offer an array of services, letting customers initial high-end scarves, add graphics to T-shirts and design their own footwear, so you can give a gift that is totally unique. And it’s not just clothing. From leather glasses cases to handbags, you can customise and emboss all manner of accessories to your heart’s content, creating a distinctive gift that’ll outlast any passing trend.
6 For foodies
Let’s face it, for many of us, Christmas is a time for feasting. And if you’re buying for a foodie, there’s no end of festive gift ideas. So if the foodie in your life is big into cheese, why not go for a cheese subscription box – delivered straight to their door and packed with delicious artisan delights, from gooey camemberts to sharp and crumbly yargs. Some cheese boxes contain tasting notes, admission to online events and serving ideas.
Or help them recreate their favourite restaurant meal – be it super-luxe steak, mouth-watering sushi, or Indonesian seafood curry – in the comfort of their own home with a meal kit. Many restaurants now offer kits for popular dishes that contain all the ingredients required plus easy-to-follow instructions on how to cook the meal.
7 For wanderlusters
Travel may be more restricted than it used to be, but you can (momentarily) transport someone you love to their favourite destination, or most memorable holiday, with a thoughtful gift. From bell jars that contain miniature scenes which you can customise to recreate your own getaway – with settings such as families round the pool, bikers in the countryside or golfers on the course – to a photobook full of treasured holiday snaps and stories, all those lovely holiday memories will come flooding back. Alternatively, get them excited about future trips with a stylish journal or scrapbook in which to record their next adventure.
Make it count with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, for a one of a kind Christmas
