At Christmas some gifts that are given are for the family in general rather than one individual in particular   –   so i have here some lovely gift ideas for families at Christmas. My in laws for example like to buy us a hamper and I like that. I like that we will all benefit from it. When you go visiting I think taking a gift for the whole  family is a wonderful idea. and here are some of my suggestions for the kind of gifts you can give to a family that really will life a bit more special this Christmas.

 

Lovely Gift Ideas for Families at Christmas

Chocolate

I never ever tire of people bringing chocolate and I love to try something new. How about the new fruit and nut Toblerone (100g is £2.59)

 

 

or the new sized single serve Tobelerone (just £1.19) . Both are just scrumptious! Or how about the popping candy mini chocolate orange segments at £2.13 a bag?

I highly rate and have welcomed them all to my house (and scoffed them too! ) . Chocolate is a cheap and cheerful gift to give to a whole family but one that always goes down a treat .

Bespoke photo cushions

Recently I had a photo I had taken turned into a photo photo cushion by Photo box and I can not begin to tell you how much this makes me smile when I walk into our lounge. It captures our summer garden and makes me smile and I love that it is unique to us. You can upload any photo you like. What a precious gift and the cushions really are of a lovely quality. You can even choose what to write on them. Prices start form £26.99

A great new board game

Marmite Love it or Hate it is a fabulous new board game for all the family. It is all  about knowing and discovering your family and friends’ loves and hates. Should be full of laughs, suprises and misperceptions. A great gift to break the ice at a family gathering and one that includes everyone. Board games are brilliant for bringing all ages together and a new one is often a real treat.  £15.46

 

 Snuggly slippers

One of the greatest pleasures of Christmas for me is having a few days away from working, snuggling in with my family and truly relaxing. Time for comfy slippers.  Aldi recently sent me these snuggly socks and slippers to review and I have to say they are rather lovely. Who knew Aldi sold slippers!? Not me.

A lovely treat for the family to have new slippers and PJs something we always try and do on Christmas Eve.

Photo Calendar

And how about a photo calendar? This sis something I have done for my in laws each year and they have loved it. Over at Stressfreeprint you can easily and quickly make a personalized wall calendar. Gifts like this always go down a treat.

Relaxation CD

Last but not least I  think  a bit of relaxation goes down a treat so how about a relaxation cd? I have been listening to Untangle your Mind by Antonia Boyle and it really is relaxing. A different Christmas gift but one that will be much appreciated I am sure.  £10

Well I hope this rather eclectic set of gift ideas will get you thinking. It is nice to buy a family gift (and cheaper than buying individual gifts) and sometimes something a little bit quirky can be just the ticket!
