Before you buy
Plan what you spend with the budget planner, find ideas in gift ideas by person, and order before the shipping deadlines.
What to buy, and when
Some Christmas shopping can wait; some cannot. Buy advent calendars before 1 December, of course, and Christmas lights early, since popular styles sell out. Christmas jumpers are best bought in November for the right sizes. Decorations are often cheapest after Christmas, so if you love a bargain, buy next year's then.
Stocking filler ideas
- Chocolate coins and a satsuma, the old tradition
- Fun socks or gloves
- A small puzzle, card game or yo-yo
- Bath bombs or lip balm
- A pocket notebook and gel pens
- A Christmas tree ornament with the year on it
Shop smart
Make a list before you open any shop, set a budget per person in the budget planner, and check delivery dates against the shipping deadlines. For gift ideas by person, see Christmas gift ideas.
Christmas decorations: a quick guide
Trees: real trees last about four to five weeks indoors if you keep the water topped up, so buy in early December. Lights: LED lights use far less energy than old bulbs and stay cool. Baubles: shatterproof ones are best around pets and small children. Wreaths: a fresh wreath on the front door lasts longer outside in the cold.
Gifts by budget
Under a small budget, choose stocking fillers, chocolates or a festive mug. In the middle range, board games, cosy jumpers or a quality candle work for almost anyone. For bigger gifts, consider experiences or something personalised. Our Christmas gift ideas are sorted by person.
Advent calendars: choosing the right one
Advent calendars come in many kinds. Chocolate calendars are the classic for children. Toy and building-brick calendars are popular with older kids. Beauty, tea, coffee and snack calendars suit adults, and refillable wooden or fabric calendars can be used year after year with your own small treats. Whatever you choose, have it ready before Tuesday 1 December, when the first door opens. Our own free advent calendar on the home page opens a new Christmas fact every day.
