Christmas Gift Ideas

Christmas gift ideas: funny cards, candles and stocking fillers

Christmas shopping goes wrong in the same way every year: you buy something safe in December, they open it, and it lives in a drawer by February. This page is the shortcut. Everything here is designed in house and posted from the UK, and every single item is chosen because it gets a laugh on the day and still earns its place on a shelf in March.

You'll find funny Christmas cards for the family group chat, hand-poured candles for the person who says they don't want anything, pin badges and coasters that work as stocking fillers, and prints for anyone who's just moved in. Order early and you can post straight to the recipient with your message written inside, which saves a trip to the post office in the last week of December.

Frequently asked questions

What are good Christmas gifts for someone who has everything?

Something consumable with a joke on it. A hand-poured candle burns for hours and doesn't add clutter, and the label does the work a card usually would.

When should I order Christmas cards to arrive in time?

Order by mid-December to be comfortable. Everything is printed and posted from the UK, so dispatch is quick, but the last posting dates in the final week are tight.
