The best Christmas gifts to get your loved ones this festive season

Shopping for Christmas gifts at the moment isn't the easiest thing, especially with the different pandemic restrictions making what is always a most hectic time of year, even more hectic. 

Not only are the queues in stores significantly longer, but there are also looming fears of stock shortages—empty shelves cutting a swathe through your options...and that's before you even start to get your thinking cap on for great gift ideas for your loved ones. Luckily, the latter is something we can help with. 

No matter how well you know your friends and family, we all need a little help when it comes to gift inspiration. This year, we've created bespoke guides to help you shop everything from Christmas gifts for your girlfriend, Christmas gifts for your boyfriend, eco-friendly Christmas gifts, wellness gifts, cozy gifts and even gifts for astrology lovers.

But if we had to pick our top 10, these are the best (and trendy!) presents to gift everyone in 2021...
