The organised among us may already have their Christmas shopping done and dusted. For the rest of us, Christmas seems a long way off yet.
But to avoid the last minute festive scramble, we have some gift inspiration for you right here. Whether it’s stocking fillers or main pressies, you can count on Pretty Little Home to come up with the goods.
Come December 25th, we guarantee smiles all round with these Christmas gifts.
Somewhere between a gnome and a hobgoblin, gonks are derived from Nordic folklore. Associated with winter, they were said to hide inside homesteads and hay barns to warm up in the colder months.
Gonks have been collectibles in the UK since the 60s (Ringo Starr was a fan). Our Christmas gonks, which include our red stripe and pink sparkly gonk, are the ideal festive season ornaments.
A popular home accessory for decades, candles – particularly those of the scented variety – have, in recent years, become a necessity in the home.
These days, you’ll find high-end designers jumping on the scented candle bandwagon, with candles selling for eye watering prices (almost £400 for a Missoni one).
Ours however, have always remained affordable, high-quality and deliciously fragrant.
Find out why candles are important in your home, here.
Talking of candles, nothing feels more festive than tea lights in a decorative holder. They’re the perfect gifts for Christmas-lovers or for those who already have a home brimming with candles.
Our gingerbread house candle holder is the ultimate festive pressie, bringing a sense of cosiness and comfort into even the sparsest of homes.
This delightfully Christmassy wooden angel is the ideal companion for the rustic winter home.
Use them as ornaments to decorate the mantelpiece or as serving mats on the Christmas dinner table.
Elegant, timeless and a welcome addition to any dining room, the carafe offers something a little special. It’ll be a well-received gift for anyone who loves entertaining in their home.
Carafes are simply vessels (usually glass) for all kinds of liquid, though are associated with wine. For a more indepth look at carafes and their purpose, read our article here.
Our large glass carafes are perfect for pouring wine at a Christmas party, or cocktails in the summer – and they also double up as pretty vases.
While we’re on the topic of glass vessels, how about encouraging your loved ones to cut down on single-use plastic? Gift a glass water bottle, and give them something chic and sustainable to carry their water in.
Oil and vinegar bottles make great homeware gifts because they look and feel luxurious. And really, they are. No, we don’t need them in our kitchens, but don’t our kitchens look so much better for them?
Even if you’re buying truffle-infused extra virgin olive oil from M&S, you’re still getting a plastic, branded bottle – i.e., not something that screams chic, rustic, country kitchen.
A gift in every sense, our present storage jars strike a perfect balance between a practical and pretty gift.
Place them on the console table by the front door and use them to store your keys.
Vases don’t immediately spring to mind when we think of Christmas homeware gifts. But do not underestimate the humble vase – certainly not the ones in Pretty Little Home’s collection, anyway.
Our striking botanical glass vase, reminiscent of vintage Victorian apothecary bottles, is a stunning addition to any home.
Struggling to choose? There’s always the Pretty Little Home gift card, ranging in value from £10 to £100.
