Trending Christmas Gifts

Christmas gifts for this season, kept up to date through December.

Selection updated 10 November 2026 Prices checked since 25 October 25 picks United Kingdom switch to United States

Christmas shopping in the UK this year leans towards things that get used straight away and kept out on show. Lego is everywhere, from the Hogwarts Castle and the Millennium Falcon to a Spider-Man figure and a Bonsai Tree that suits people who like building but not clutter. The new Nintendo Switch 2 is having its first proper Christmas, with Donkey Kong Bananza as an obvious game to go with it. Then there are the cosy, familiar bits: Warmies slippers, a tub of Quality Street, a Jellycat wolf called Ulrich.

The guide is for anyone buying across a wide range of ages, from toddlers to grandparents. There is a Bluey magic light brush and a Yoto Player for younger children, and a Ninja SLUSHi and a JBL GO 4 speaker for older ones. The party games, Hitster and Misunderstood Songs, are there for the long evenings between Christmas and New Year, when people want something to do together that is not another film. None of it is obscure. These are the things people keep reaching for, and that is a decent reason to take a closer look.
