Choosing Christmas gifts is easier when you start with what the person already does with their time. A cook wants a new book, a reader wants a beautiful hardback, a gamer wants something that looks good on a shelf, and a child wants something to play with right now. This page gathers eleven gifts across those groups, from £12.00 to £149.99.
The picks lean on shops that publish a live price and let us see whether the item can be bought today. Two of them, the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade and the Toniebox Lite, also appear in Argos's list of top toys for Christmas 2026, published in September. Prices and stock change quickly in December, so where stock is unclear we say so on the card. Use this list to decide what to buy and check the shop for the final price.

Questions people ask
What is a good Christmas gift for someone who has everything?
Choose something to do rather than own: a book for a quiet evening, a build, or a nice hot chocolate. Consumable or experience-style gifts do not add clutter.
What are good Christmas gifts for children?
Check the age guide before you buy. The Gruffalo Tonie is for ages 3 and over, while most LEGO sets here carry an 18+ guide because they are made for adult builders.
When should I order Christmas gifts?
Order popular items early, because stock and delivery times get tighter in December. Check each shop's delivery cut-off, as we do not state delivery dates on this page.
Are the prices on this page up to date?
We checked each price and whether it could be bought on 13 October 2026, and we update the page monthly. Shops change prices often, so check the shop before you buy.
