Buying Christmas gifts for grown-ups is usually the most challenging part of seasonal shopping. With that in mind, we’ve found a few options that might provide that spark of inspiration, with home, travel and comfort in mind. Prices start from under £50, so you’ll find a little something to suit most budgets.
Dualit Milk Frother
From £70
The best way to keep winter at bay is a delicious mug of frothy hot chocolate, and any chocolate lover will be delighted to find the Dualit Milk Frother under the tree this year.
The Dualit Milk Frother creates a smooth, velvety cup of the good stuff in no time at all, using VortecS Technology to whip the chocolate perfectly. No hot chocolate powder? No problem! Drop in a handful of chocolate buttons or a few squares of chocolate, and the Dualit Milk Frother will have it frothed in minutes and ready to drink.
Not limited to hot chocolate, it can whip up mochas and milkshakes, too. Once the drink is ready, it’s easy to clean, with a non-stick interior that can be rinsed and wiped clean, ready for the next cup.
Why not get them started with Dualit’s own hot chocolate sachets? They are available in six different flavours, including milk chocolate chunk, vanilla white chocolate and mocha chocolate.
Amazfit Balance 2
£270
For the active person in your life, Balance 2 is a great gift that monitors everything from sleep and vitals to sports and training. With a battery life of up to 21 days, Balance 2 will keep them on track with fitness and even on the golf course, with free downloadable maps of over 40,000 golf courses worldwide.
For the more city-focused types, the GPS maps can pinpoint their location and guide them accurately even between high-rise buildings.
Balance 2 allows the wearer to travel light, with secure integrated contactless payment, meaning no need to carry a wallet. Voice controls make it easy to use, and calls via Bluetooth are crisp and clear every time.
For an all-action gift that packs a lot into one small case, Balance 2 is waterproof, durable, and looks great, too.
Shokz OpenDots One
£179
Listening to music on the move is something we all love, and Shokz OpenDots One provide a great listening experience with situational awareness, making them a great gift choice for runners, cyclists and walkers alike.
With 10 hours of play time on a single charge, and a charging case that extends that to around 40 hours, according to Shokz, OpenDots One will keep the Christmas tunes coming all season long.
Lightweight and comfortable, these wireless clip-on earbuds offer excellent, immersive sound quality. They are interchangeable between ears for quick and easy use, and water-resistant, so there is no need to worry about sweat or splashes.
Brushed cotton women’s pyjamas from Their Nibs
£44
If you want to find a gift that will guarantee a comfy, cosy festive season, then brushed cotton PJs need to be on your shopping list. This hand-drawn reindeer design from Their Nibs is the perfect choice for Christmas gifts for grown-ups that they won’t want to change out of.
The range of sizes available is incredible – from XS tight up to 3XL – and the quality of the materials is great, too. Their Nibs pyjamas are made from quality materials that will wear and wash well.
Perfect for cuddling up to watch Christmas movies, Their Nibs brushed cotton pyjamas make a stunning Christmas gift, or a beautiful addition to a Christmas Eve box, with matching family pjs available in some designs, too.
Women’s Oversized knitted hoodie and knitted wide-leg sweatpants from Blakely
£59 and £44
While Blakely’s oversized knitted hoodie is perfect on its own, it is even better when matched with the knitted wide-leg sweatpants from the same collection.
Both pieces are available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL, and in nine different colours. They are gorgeously comfortable and cosy. The knitted fabric is soft and warm, and the oversized fit of the hoodie is generous.
The wide-leg sweatpants in the same material make it a great outfit for enjoying the festivities at home or out and about.
Men’s Austin Relaxed Hoodie from Blakely
£29
Blakely has an extensive range of men’s hoodies, and the Austin Relaxed hoodie is beautifully soft and comfortable, with a stylised Blakely logo on the front, keeping things subtle.
It’s available in five colours, but we loved it in marl grey, which complements numerous outfits and situations. Sizes range from XS to XXL, but if you want to gift one to a loved one, or even yourself, grab one quickly, as at the current reduced price of £29, they’re a steal. If you do miss out, don’t worry, there are plenty of other hoodie options to choose from.
Storen Weekend bag from Kapten & Son
£170
For avid travellers, anything that will help them off to their next adventure will always be a great choice of gift. The Storen weekend bag is a perfect partner for any wheeled luggage. It can slip easily over the handle, can be carried by the side handles, or attach the shoulder strap, and it can be carried across the body or over one shoulder.
It’s a great size for a few days away, with a generous capacity, and a zipped compartment to keep your shoes separate from your clothes. A set of Kapten & Son packing cubes
will help them to maximise the space even more, while keeping the contents neat and organised.
Made from vegan-friendly and recycled materials, Storen is a beautifully stylish weekend bag that will inspire the next trip, and many, many more.
Hybrid 20-litre backpack from Stubble & Co
£155
For the lighter traveller, Stubble & Co’s 20-litre hybrid backpack will make an ideal travel-based gift this Christmas. The clamshell design makes it highly versatile and easy to use, whether for travel, study or heading to the office.
The dedicated laptop compartment is the perfect size to keep your tech safe and accessible, with some internal compartments to keep all your tech accessories organised, too. A discrete front pocket is the perfect place to stow your travel documents and personal items, while keeping them in easy reach.
Waterproof and stylish, the hybrid backpack is comfortable to carry, and with a luggage sleeve to mount it onto wheeled luggage, it’s an inspired gift for adventurous travellers.
