Trending Christmas Gifts

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

Updated 12 October 2026 14 picks United Kingdom switch to United States

This week's Christmas picks lean into easy wins for the season: a mix of useful bits, cosy treats and a few proper bits of fun. There is a strong run of gifts for people who like to make, record, plan or play, from the Nintendo Switch and Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 to the Yoto Player for little ones and the Moleskine Weekly Planner for the year ahead. The softer side is here too, with the Jellycat Bashful Bunny, Squishmallows HugMees Christmas Manny Snowman and Rituals The Ritual of Jing Small Gift Set giving the page a calm, homey feel.

It is a good edit for anyone sorting Christmas gifts without wanting to overthink it. There are small stocking fillers such as Terry's Chocolate Orange and the Crayola Markers, plus a few practical picks with a bit of charm, like the Rode VideoMic Me-C+ and the Shark Cryoglow. The result feels current, simple and easy to browse, with enough variety to suit different ages and budgets.
