November arrived in the blink of an eye, and soon enough we’ll be speeding through December, too. For many of us, the festive season is a time of celebration, stacked with festive dinners, cocktail parties and work celebrations that are already starting to fill our calendars. Then there’s all the prep—get a tree, find the decorations, plan all the details… all in all, there’s plenty going on. And whilst I can’t help with the wrapping, I can help tick “Buy gifts” off your ever-growing to-do list. Below, I’ve created a refined edit of brilliant gifts your loved ones will truly appreciate, all courtesy of Marks & Spencer. And if you’re anything like me, you may find yourself adding to your own wish list, too.
Even though it’s something we do each year, it can feel like a daunting task to pick out gifts for our nearest and dearest. At a time when we want to show those we care about how much we appreciate them, getting ahead of present preparation means that they don’t end up with last-minute petrol-station chocolates. Plus, most of us have a list of at least a handful of people we’re planning to gift this season, so wouldn’t it be easier to get it all done in one place? I think so too. That’s why I’ve pulled together a range of gifts that can be snapped up in one simple click of a checkout button. Here’s to you, M&S
For fashion followers, what about a pair of killer heels, a dazzling bag or an NYE-ready dress they’re sure to be wowed by? There are lots of gorgeous options for those who deserve a little self-care—M&S has a great range of scented candles and warm slippers which would be perfect for a cosy night in watching Christmas films. And for those who are hard to buy for, stick to the classics. Why not treat them to a cosy knit that ticks off both style and comfort this winter? M&S has plenty.
