IT’S the most wonderful time of the year – unless you are struggling for gift ideas…

We have to accept it, Christmas is coming, whether we like it or not. And so our minds turn instead to the difficult job of selecting which gift would best suit which person.

We’ve all got those family members and friends who qualify as ‘the person who has everything’. So what do you get them?

Well, we thought we’d do the hard work for you, and find some gifts you might not have thought of – just perfect for those you are struggling to buy for.

And we have even scoured the far recesses of the internet and high street stores to find the ideal gift at the right price.

Amazing gift ideas for the whole family – we’ve even included your four-legged friend! – priced at under £100:

Blanko

As temperatures drop – it’s winter after all – we’re all finding ourselves scooting round the house, looking for the peak warm spot by the fire, or snuggled up in our favourite chair.

The Blanko – created by outdoor leisure brand OLPRO (https://olproshop.com/) – is the answer to all our prayers.
It’s a duvet you can wear. Yes, it’s the item we have all wished for.

The warm and cosy blanket can also be worn as a poncho – or even a cape – and is perfect for keeping the family toasty during outdoor adventures, campfires in the garden, or even festive movie nights. And they have a special Black Friday design available now – but get it fast, number are limited!

You can get your hands – and your body – in a Blanko now for just £39. Get wrapped up!

LEGO

It’s the classic toy we love from childhood to adulthood.

There’s nothing more satisfying than settling down with a new Lego creation, opening that construction booklet and getting involved.

Whether you’re an adult indulging your building instinct, or working alongside the aspiring engineer in your family, Lego provides hours of fun.

Lego currently has a surprising number of options available for under £50, and we picked the amazing wildflower bouquet – which can actually double up as a household ornament – and, for the nostalgic movie fan in your midst, a brilliant R2-D2.

Very Merry Christmas Game

What’s better than gathering family and friends together at Christmas for a board game? The perfect way to liven up those quiet Christmas nights, when everything is closed.

Challenge participants to make their way around the board, collecting presents – from amazing presents to some more naff offerings! – to fill their stocking ahead of the big day.

The perfect gift for the more competitive members of the family – and one that can be rolled out to entertain the whole group.

At this time of year, as we make our way around or embark on those festive family walks, our shoes can bear the brunt of the battle with the elements!

And a perfect stocking filler for the fashion conscious friend or family member this year is the Midsole Reviver Kit, from Cherry Blossom.

It might not sound glamorous, but believe us, when you get this to work on those footwear favourites that have felt the effects of miles of steps, this will be among the favourite gifts in any stocking!

Granger Footwear Care Kit

Staying on the footwear theme (can you tell we love our shoes?), another great option for the boot lover in the house is the Grangers Footwear Care Kit.

Whether you’ve put your precious boots through a muddy walk, or abused your trainers on the football pitch, the kit contains options for all cleaning challenges.

Grangers also do an Active Wash, for those with – how shall we say it? – pongy feet!

Whether it’s the sporty person in the house, or the stubborn stench of some old work boots, the wash actively removes odours, rather than masking them. This might provoke a smile from the stocking – and make your household smell a lot better!

Whether it’s a reindeer or an elf bobbing around the riding school, these are a winner for children and adults alike!

The silk is not just a bit of fun, features include a flexible peak to the front and elastic hem, making a one size fits all silk that is machine washable, so can be kept for next year!

Trust us, with a horse-mad nine-year-old in the family, these are a winner!
