The Definitive marie claire Christmas Gift Guide

Andy Williams truly captured the feeling of the festive season when he crooned that Christmas is “the most wonderful time of the year”.

The season is fuelled by long lunches, Christmas parties and overeating, all of which bring us tremendous amounts of joy.

However, one aspect of the season can make us want to curl up into a ball rocking back and forth under our perfectly decorated trees, and that is finding the perfect present…for every single person in our lives.

Each year it feels like we’re exceedingly exhausting our list of best Christmas gift ideas, making it all the more difficult to impress our Bunnings-loving Dads and our best friends who already have everything imaginable.

Between office secret Santa draws and buying for those we cherish the most, gift giving quickly becomes stressful.

So, to help keep the festive season as one of joy (and apologise for getting Andy William’s catchy Christmas carol stuck in your head), we’ve done the hard work for you and created not one but five gift guides to cover your every need.
