This week's edit

Trending Christmas Gifts

This season's most-wanted Christmas gifts, updated weekly through December.

Updated 1 October 2026 14 picks United Kingdom switch to United States

This week's Christmas edit leans practical, playful and quietly nostalgic. There are easy wins for all ages, from the Nintendo Switch and Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 to the Yoto Player for little ones. The softer side of the list is here too, with Jellycat, Squishmallows and Rituals all bringing a bit of comfort to the season.

It is a good page to browse for present ideas that feel current without being fussy. The Moleskine planner, Rode VideoMic and Shark Cryoglow sit neatly alongside small treats like Terry's Chocolate Orange and Brass Monkey's Misunderstood Songs Game. A mix like this is handy when the goal is a gift that feels well chosen rather than overthought.
