Christmas Gift Guide for Families
Christmas is all about spending time with the family. It’s my absolute favourite time of the year and I love just taking some time off work and spending quality time as a family. We will always have at least one family gift that we can all share, and we’ll often receive a gift for all of us too. Buying just one gift for a family helps you to save some money on buying individual gifts and it gives the family something that they can enjoy together.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy browsing through these Christmas gift ideas for families.
Calendar
A calendar for the coming new year is a great gift idea for families. There are so many options to choose from! You can opt for a family planner style calendar, or buy an individual calendar for each member of the family. I particularly love these two calendars from Danilo Promotions:
My daughter is a huge Beetlejuice fan and already has this up on her wall – we decided to give it to her as an early gift!
This one’s going to be hugely popular this year, especially with young gamers like my son!
Squishmallows Take 4
We love sitting down playing games together as a family, particularly at Christmas when we all have a little more free time to relax and enjoy some quality time together. Squishmallows are a big hit with the kids so the Squishmallows Take 4 game is ideal for kids to enjoy this Christmas. From the creators of What Do You Meme, the aim of the game is to build your Squishmallows as quickly as possible. Available at WHSmiths.
Snow Problem
You can’t beat a festive family game at this time of year and this one is a cracker! The aim of the game is to stack the snowballs to build a snowman but you’ll need to be careful that the snowballs don’t roll away! Available on Amazon.
MIND MELD
If your teens love their TikTok, then they’ve probably heard of the Mind Meld challenge. On the count of three, each player shouts out a word. Using the MIND MELD headband, it won’t be long until your minds begin to merge!
Available to buy at Sainsbury’s and Amazon.
Photo Gifts
I honestly think you can’t beat photo gifts. I love having photos of my loved ones around me, but I don’t get photos printed off anywhere near as much as I should. Max Spielmann have a wide range of photo gifts to choose from. You can order photo books, collage prints in frames, photo cushions, photo mugs and a whole lot of other products too. I ordered an A4 collage print and frame as well as a wooden photo block and I received both the next day. I think that’s incredible service for personalised photo items.
Something for the Home
As a family, we love receiving gifts for our home. We’re always spending on the basics such as food, petrol, the mortgage and bills etc and we rarely treat ourselves to something to brighten up our home. I think lighting makes a huge difference to the feel of a room, particularly as the nights start drawing in. The Mason polished chrome touch table lamp from Pagazzi Lighting would be a wonderful Christmas present for any family. Its modern yet elegant design would complement a variety of home decor styles. As a touch lamp, it provides convenience and safety by turning on and off with just a simple tap or swipe. Its polished chrome finish gives it a luxurious look that will stand the test of time. The table lamp is versatile, as it can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. Its brightness can be adjusted across multiple lighting levels, making it suitable for different tasks and moods. The Mason lamp will no doubt be appreciated and enjoyed by all members of the family for many holiday seasons to come.
Chocolates
Of course, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a little chocolate indulgence. But you do need to be mindful of dietary requirements. Many children in particular are dairy intolerant, for example, or you might be buying for a family who follow the Vegan lifestyle. NOMO have some really tasty treats that cater for both vegan and free from diets. Flavours include Creamy Choc, Caramel & Sea Salt, Fruit & Crunch, Caramelised Biscuit, Orange Crunch, and Cookie Dough. It’s also good to know that NOMO is dairy, gluten, egg, and nut free and is produced in Kinnerton’s pioneering ‘nut free’ factory! Their products are super tasty and perfect for the whole family this Christmas.
NOMO is available from Tesco, Waitrose, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Co-op, Holland & Barrett, Amazon, The Vegan Kind Supermarket, and the NOMO online store.
Or how about these tasty plant-based chocolates from Love Raw? The Nutty Choc Balls Box is the perfect gift at Christmas for those who love chocolate but prefer a plant-based option. Each tasty treat contains a hazelnut encased in vegan cream and finished off with a plant-based chocolate layer. They taste so good and they’re perfect for sharing with the family at Christmas.
Family Costume
Embrace festive togetherness with the enchanting tradition of family costumes this holiday season. Elevate your Christmas celebrations by coordinating themed outfits that spread joy and create cherished memories for years, from classic holiday characters to personalized and unique options like a captivating steampunk costume. These coordinated outfits spread joy and create cherished memories, ensuring your festive season is filled with magic and togetherness.
Badminton Racket Set
Another great idea for a family gift is to treat them to something they can do together. This Badminton Racket and Net Set is ideal for families who like to stay active and enjoy spending time together.
Family Festival Planner
I love nothing more than experiencing live music at a festival – there have been some real icons from the last few decades appearing at festivals recently. Taking the kids to a festival is something that involves a little planning though, and this Family Festival Planner is perfect for making sure you make the most of every moment!
Stockist: Amazon
Family Board Games
Christmas is the perfect time for the whole family to sit down and play some board games together. There are lots of great options to choose from and you can find great games for the whole family online and in stores at this time of year.
Blanket Hoodies
We love snuggling up in our blanket hoodies on cold, dark evenings. It saves on heating costs and they are so comfortable to wear around the house too.
Stockist: Amazon – Sherpa Fleece Blanket Hoodie & Fluffy Fleece Hoodie Blanket.
Note that these products were gifted to me for the purposes of review and inclusion in my gift guides.
