It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

And possibly also the most expensive. But hey, that’s why we love Christmas, right?

It’s obviously not all about the gifts but one of my favourite things to do around the festive period is shop for presents that I just know my family and friends will love.

It’s that one time of year that you can merrily treat your favourite people without them feeling awkward and saying ‘oh no but you shouldn’t have’, so I take the opportunity with both hands and start my festive shopping early (we’re talking September early).

Rather than denote the recipient of each gift, I’m just going to collate my favourite recommendations into different categories.
