The Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Him and Her
Ah, Christmas. That time of year when we’re all on the hunt for something special, a gift that’s thoughtful, practical, and maybe even a little bit unexpected.
You want something that’s more than just nice; you want it to be spot-on and actually useful. After all, we know that the best gifts are those that get a nod of approval as they’re unwrapped, followed by, “You know me well!”
So, let us point you in the right direction and save you the guesswork! Whether you’re searching for a main present for under the tree, or a clever Secret Santa gift idea, we’ve put together a list of Christmas presents we think will help you make an impression with your loved ones this holiday season.
Our Best Christmas Country Gift Ideas
Mens Tweed Jacket & Womens Tweed Jacket
A tweed jacket is a real classic country gift idea. For someone on your list who's a big fan of country clothing, this is always a winner.
It’s the kind of perfect gift that says you really thought about them, and that you also know will see plenty of use. Alan Paine has some fantastic choices for both men and women, so their collection is an ideal starting point.
Wellies
Wellies are pretty much a necessity in the countryside, and it’s hard to go wrong with a good pair as a gift.
The Cotswold Sandringham Buckle Strap Wellingtons are budget-friendly and extremely popular, while the Hoggs of Fife Field Sport Neoprene Lined Wellingtons are a top choice for anyone who needs something a bit more robust for the farm.
Heated Gilets
If you know someone who groans at the thought of heading outdoors on cold mornings, we can't recommend a heated gilet enough.
It's one of those little luxuries they might not think to treat themselves to, but once they've got one, they'll wonder how they ever lived without it. And you'll get brownie points for being the person to bring it into their lives!
Cowboy Boots
Cowboy boots may not be for everyone, but they’re perfect for someone with a bit of rural spirit who isn’t afraid to show it.
Brands like Ariat and Durango make cowboy boots that are sturdy, stylish, and come in a range of heights and designs. If you’ve got a cowgirl (or cowboy!) on your list, these could be a fun, memorable gift.
Mens Knitwear & Womens Knitwear
A woolly jumper or thick pullover is one of those thoughtful gifts that everyone appreciates come winter.
The great thing is you can keep it nice and simple with a classic pullover like the Jack Pyke Countryman Fleece Pullover, or go for Aran Woollen Mills if you're looking for a special present.
You can also pick up a fun themed sweater like those from Joules!
Tattersall Shirts
If the person on your list is quite particular about their country clothing, an almost foolproof festive gift idea is a tattersall shirt.
Hoggs of Fife and Champion offer well-made, affordable options that anyone would be happy to add to their collection. And if you want to give something a little fancier, Laksen has premium versions that are worth a look.
Mens Waterproof Coats & Womens Waterproof Coats
Christmas shopping is a perfect opportunity to treat someone in your life to a great new waterproof coat.
Our best piece of advice here is think about what they will likely be using the coat for. For example, if they are a farmer, you'll want something quite rugged and field ready. If they walk the dogs every day, choose something with lots of deep pockets and something easy to pair with wellies.
The Baleno Kensington Long Waterproof Coat is a top pick for women (and has an award-winning reputation!), with the Livingstone coat as the men’s version. The Didriksons and Jack Murphy collections also have brilliant options.
Brogues
Every country gent deserves a good pair of brogues in his wardrobe. They’re versatile enough to dress up or down and lend a bit of old-school style to any outfit.
Tricker’s makes some of the finest British footwear around if you’re after a high-end gift, while Roamers offer a fantastic, more affordable alternative.
Our Best Secret Santa Gift Ideas
Sometimes the little things make the best gifts. And finding a Secret Santa present doesn't have to be a last-minute scramble! We've put together a list of some great options that'll make anyone's day this festive season:
Novelty Socks – You can never go wrong with socks that have a bit of personality.
Beanies – A warm beanie is always appreciated in the colder months.
Thermals – For anyone working outdoors, thermals are a winter lifesaver.
Gun Cleaning Kits – Ideal for those who love their country sports, and something that shows you know their hobbies.
Multi-Tools – Perfect for anyone who likes a bit of DIY or who has a hands-on job.
Bug Guns – A bit of fun for keeping those flies away.
Torches - Brilliant for those who love camping or early morning walks.
Headbands – Versatile and you've got plenty of options.
Trucker Caps - Great for the man who loves a low-key, practical gift.
Slippers - Soft, cosy, and comfy.
We've got a huge collection of budget-friendly gifts all under £10, which make for excellent stocking fillers, and a whole separate guide for our best kids gift ideas for Christmas this year.
